I'm truly shocked at how bad Buffalo was yesterday. The other 3 Divisional Final games pretty much went as scripted, but I doubt anybody expected Cincinnati to win by 3 scores.
Allen was far from a dominant QB, missed numerous wide open WR and couldn't see to keep drives going. Anarumo had him thoroughly confused plus his early career poor accuracy showed up again. 26 turnovers in 18 games is a killer.
Their defense was 2nd in Pts/game all year but couldn't get any stops early on. I know they were missing Miller but Cin was without 3 OL starters.
They might take a step back next year, they are 8M over the cap and have pretty good regulars hitting FA in Poyer Saffold Phillips Jackson(RFA) Edmunds and Singletary. They will likely move money around to create some room but a good chunk of those guys are likely gone leaving holes to fill.

Jerry Jones will tell the whole world tomorrow that Mike McCarthy is my Coach and Dak Prescott is my Quarterback .........just like he did last year and he will probably do again Next Year . But isn't this exactly what everyone expected of them? Arguably they over achieved since many thought when they lost Cooper and didn't add anyone of significance that they were not a top 5 team. Meanwhile Buffalo was many peoples Super Bowl favorite and didn't show up in a game where all the conditions tilted things in their favor. Home game. January. Snow. Hamlin in the building. NFL fans have a strange obsession with the Cowboys that i'll never really understand. Most thought SF would run away with what was a 1 possession game for 60 minutes. Yet the narrative is almost that they choked. Reality is they over achieved by getting as far as they did via an easy early round matchup. I don't think any fan or expert had the Dallas Cowboys as a potential NFC championship game team. But many sure did have Buffalo in the Super Bowl.

Buffalo definitely shat the bed, especially Allen who is considered a top 3-4 QB in the NFL, he looked dazed and confused and inaccurate Sunday. Cin winning is a not a huge upset but by 17 points is.

The Andy Reid Bowl is upon us.
Is Philly the team that has looked dominant since snap 1 of game 1? They've had an easy time in terms of opposing QB's the last few weeks. But they've been pretty awesome all year.
KC just keeps winning. Every game seems close. Mahomes should benefit more then anyone with the 2 weeks off giving that high ankle sprain more time to heal.
I think it ends up being a close game. I really just hope both QB's are healthy and put on a show. Eagles D is better so i'm picking them 34-31.

Their Offensive Line is so dominant, they pushed the Niners Dee Line around most of the Game..... it is hard to pick against them ...... so I won't . I think Mahomes will make his presence known like he always does but the Philly Dee will do enough and The Eagles will win it . I don't agree with Johnny's score prediction though because I think Philly will run the Ball and do the dink and dunk stuff , creating Long Drives to keep The League MVP and the Chiefs off the Field ....In the end ....I see Philadelphia beating Kansas City........24-21 .

The only reason Cincy lost was their OL was banged up, missing 3 starters and Jones had a much bigger day than the Buffalo DL last week. Had burrow had a bit more time they were winning that game. I think Philly is just to strong along the OL and DL for KC. KC has Jones, Phillie has FOUR 10 sack guys plus Cox Davis Suh and Quinn, ridiculous talent and depth .If Mahomes truly has a high ankle sprain, it won't heal in 2 weeks, he likely made it worse on a couple of the awkward throws last night. Reid is a huge asset but Philly is just too talented all over the field.

Give me the Chiefs, I think it’s a close game with a low-ish score. Give me Mahomes/Kelce/Reid when the lights shine bright, I don’t fault anyone who picks the Eagles but I think we’re going to find out what type of coach Sirianni is in close games and I think that’s going to be one who falters when it matters most.

Full disclosure I am an Eagles fan. I have watched all of their games this year. We already know what kind of coach Sirianni is in close games and in all types of games. He is 16-3 this season. What more do u need to see? I don't think we will have to wait to the last game of the season to know he is already a great coach.

I think Reid is an offensive genius, probably the best play caller I have seen in nearly 40 years of NFL, but Phillie is just too talented for KC, They will dominate on OL and DL and that's where games are won and lost.

I never said Sirianni wasn’t a great coach but it’s easy to coach in the regular season/playoffs when you’re blowing teams out. It’s a lot tougher to coach in a close game, in the biggest pressure point of your season. That’s when you’re going to find out what you’ve truly got IMO. He hasn’t done it in the playoffs in a big game, people can talk about blowing out the Giants but they’re the Giants with a bad QB and the 49ers who had no QB for most of the game. That doesn’t show me he can do it in a pressure cooker like the playoffs. You can only coach the games you get to play so that’s not on him but he still hasn’t shown he’s that guy yet in the big situations.

The Chiefs aren’t some slouch on OL/DL either though. They have a good OL, just the Eagles is better. The defences were 1-2 in sacks this year, they can both put pressure on a QB. It’s basically a pick ‘em right now as far as Vegas is concerned and it’s because these are two very evenly matched teams.

Apparently Brady has retired again, for good.
This will help the Bears, GB and LV, all teams with a veteran QB or #1 pick to trade. Makes for one less starting QB on the market.
GB is apparently looking to move on from Rogers, a reunion with Hackett in NY makes a lot of sense.
Garoppolo in LV? NO? Was?
Mayfield?
Lance? Wilson? Trubisky? White? Dalton? Winston?
Houston, Indy Atl and Car are teams I expect to shoot for one of the young QB's.
NE(Jones) Mia(Tua) Buf(Allen) Ten(Tanehill) Jax(Lawrence) Pit(Pickett) Cin(burrow) Bal(Jackson) Cle(Watson) KC(Mahomes) LAC(Herbert) Den(Wilson)
Phi(Hurts) Dal(Prescott) NYG(Jones) Min(Cousins) GB(Rogers or Love) Chi(Fields) Det(Goff) SF(Purdy? Lance?) Sea(Smith) Rams(Stafford) Ari(Murray)

The Giants made the playoffs and won their first playoff game against another playoff team. They were not a joke. Did you actually notice what Jones was doing this year? He is not a joke any more. Check out the scores from the Eagles games this year. They weren't all blowouts and they did come back in a few of those games and some were close games. They Eagles got to Purdy and sidelined him. Did any other team get to Purdy? He was undefeated up to that point. So no compliments to the Eagles D for knocking him and Johnson out? So they don't deserve where they are? The SF D still had to play and did not stop the Eagles. Man no respect at all.

The SF D still had to play and did not stop the Eagles. Man no respect at all. I watched the Giants, I watched Jones he isn’t a good QB. They beat the Vikings who a lot of people were touting as fraudulent, they proved to be. The Giants weren’t some juggernaut who were going to put up a fight. The Eagles D got to Purdy but to suffer a UCL injury is terrible luck on that play, you don’t get credit for injuring a QB and then claiming how good the D is. Johnson is a 4th string QB with a list of teams a mile long, he’s horrible. Then gets hurt, and they have to put a QB in who can’t throw a ball. It’s easy to play D when a team can’t move the ball, it’s hard to play D when your offence can’t move the ball. I have never said the Eagles don’t deserve to be where they are. The Eagles are good and you again play who you play, there’s nothing they can do about that. They have a really good defence, they may have very well won the game no matter the QB situation for the 49ers but playing Mahomes isn’t playing the other 2 QB’s they’ve faced. The Eagles earned where they are, they’re a great team but I don’t know how wondering what they’ll do with a QB/Coach who’s never been in a playoff situation like this, is disrespectful to them?
