2024 NFL Game Thread - Divisional Round

I mean, saquon is averaging 185 against the Rams and Commies this year.

EDIT: I don't know if the snow will help or hurt hum, but I wouldn't mind a Shady type game tomorrow.

yes maybe, but they'll be playing the Rams

God and his son Jesus are still undefeated at football in 2025. Sick run.

Does this mean saquon szn or Rams variance szn? Asking for a friend.

Maybe Rams score first and get the Philly fans to throw snowballs at their team?

That's about the only scenario I can think of for snow helping Stafford and co.

more than one did

the chefs were likely to win, but we'll never really know

👍

not quite there yet. mahomie, JOE and others clearly in front of him

that said, he'll have the opp to make a SB before joshua or LJack have

i'll pour out a 40 oz. for ya Tuma

that was brutal

counterpoint: your passing infrastructure produced the league's second best ANY/A (behind only LJack and BAL)

on a hybrid grass field like the Linc, snow will obv assist offenses bc of the footing issues (offensive players know when and where they will cut, defenders don't)

so, w the wind forecasted not to be significantly bad, look for the conditions to generally assist LAR and their passing game

LAR is going into the game w the better QB and conditions are such that their passing game should have a leg up over a tough PHI D

let's see what the foosball gods have in store for us later today!

I'm not sure where this narrative started that the Rams have some huge advantage at QB today or that Stafford is somehow still a top QB.

EPA/DB
Hurts - 0.17
Stafford - 0.12

Passer Rating
Hurts - 104
Stafford - 93.8

ANY/A
Hurts - 7
Stafford - 6.6

TD/INT
Hurts - 18:5
Stafford - 20:8

Sure, but how many teams did they play reg season that could beat them at that game? Really only one, BUF, and they lost.

The difference in that game? DET had 48 rushing yards for the game. Last night, DET had 176 rushing yards in the first half!

I get it, they were trying to get as many reps as possible into Goff to build confidence that he could compete with the big boys when it mattered. And for the most part it worked: he was making many more big throws this year than previous.

But that is no reason to ignore the rest of the offense when the running game was en fuego. And a simple analysis of WAS' game against TB would show that keep away was the best strategy against Daniels. And guess what: DET had it, they were capable of doing that. But they simply asked too much of Goff. They wanted to win a high scoring game when it was not in their best interest to do so.

Football is a zero sum game. You should do what the opposing team does not want you to do, and vice versa. WAS was quite comfortable playing a high scoring match. DET fell into the trap and got caught playing checkers, not chess.

I hope you're right, but the game Rams played with conditions most similar was wk 16, 23 degrees wind 8. Rams scored 6 points thru 3 qtrs and ended up winning 19-9 as a 3 pt favorite against the Jets.

don't play coy w me newguy

allow all 32 HCs to blind vote for which QB they want to have under center in a must win playoff game

you know which QB gets the most votes

yes, similar temp and wind

no precipitation and a different playing surface (FieldTurf Core, a synthetic turf)
