Agreed with lots of teams not stepping up today. Mostly, I was really surprised with how undisciplined and reckless the Buccaneers were today given with what was at stake.

I am rooting for the Packers to go and beat Philly next week.

As for tonight's game there might be 90 points scored. I think whoever makes the least amount of mistakes wins tonight. I can't wait.

Agree tonight could be quite a shootout. Don't count on GB beating anyone this postseason. They looked terrible today, very disappointing. I figured they were a year or 2 away from contention but they gotta get away from this " youngest team in the league" nonsense. Whoever loses tonight will be the best 5 seed in memory.

The Patriots opened the season-end coaching carousel by firing their HC right after the Bills game this afternoon.....

JMcLellan · 01-06-2025, 10:15 AM

Ouch. My Vikes team looked like garbage last night. Outcoached in almost every aspect of the game, 0 TD's on 4 redzone trips, Darnold overthrowing on multiple 3rd and 4th down conversions and TD passes to JJ. And for the love of god they cannot stop Gibbs (9 TD's in 4 games against us). I was so disappointed with the playcalling. They needed to have quick throws to beat the Lions blitz and they just didn't. Meanwhile the Lions adjusted to beat our blitz.

Our previous 2 losses this season were Lions and the Rams. I'm hoping that they can break that cycle next Monday night. Who knows, maybe we beat the Rams and then get to go back to Detroit for redemption.

They're so bad they can't even lose when they should.
Now I know what it's like to be a Bills/Jets fan during the Brady/Belichick reign...

That was the worst game of the season, even with 2 major flubs by the refs (that was intentional grounding in the end zone!)

I'm scared to take next Mon-Tues off and go to the game! I haven't checked to see how much tickets are going for yet.

I love seeing the Patriots and Mac Jones fail.

The Chiefs gave Denver a gift after Denver couldn't get it done last week to earn their way into the playoffs for the first time in eight years.

Exactly. Zero effort on the Chiefs part. Some could say they "threw" the game because they do not want to face the Bengals.

How in the hell did the offense score only zero points? All of it doesn't add up. The defense was trotting every play. Here in the midwest (other than KC area) the TV network changed games after a little while after seeing that garbage of an effort.

Per the TV news talking heads this evening, the Rams/Vikings game has been moved to Phoenix next Monday due to the LA fires. Vikings fans should update their flight/hotel plans accordingly.....

I was looking for tickets to SoFi before the fires.

Might be just enough to get Vikings over the hump, no home-field advantage if the Rams have to travel too.
