Ugh, I hope Buffalo doesn't lose.

This would be so heartbreaking for them.

We get some extra football to end a crazy weekend of football

Not going to watch another minute of that games stupidity.

One of the most amazing last few minutes of a game I've ever seen.

Don't worry. Baker is only 1-14 in game winning/tying drives.

It's not like any other QBs do much better.

We're fine......we're fine.....

What is that, Basketball??? the chiefs scored in 13 seconds? I watch football, not basketball because I think that kind of situation is stupid. and I hate the chiefs more than the bills apparently.

Game of the millennium.

Cleveland guy with game winning catch.

This was the best divisional round I can ever remember

NFL has to be damn proud of their ridiculous OT rules (that have been ancient and stupid for DECADES).

A coin flip literally just determined the outcome of a divisional round playoff game. You knew whoever got the ball was scoring. So dumb.

That was a pretty abysmal game to go to overtime, apparently the chiefs won it, but don't care how.
If, scoring after receiving a kickoff with less than 30 seconds to play becomes the normal,
then the league needs to make scoring a tougher feat.
Because THAT IS NOT FOOTBALL, that is not how the game was intended, that is some abhoration of what football was created to be.

Football is Football. What ever that was with that scoring like a thing that changes back and forth,
is not football!

The Browns need to make a decision on the QB position and quickly.

Would have been nice for someone to play defense in the 4th, but was a exciting day of football.

If you've been paying attention the last few years it actually IS football. Just not in Cleveland.

There's a reason people keep harping on how terrible Baker does in 4th quarter, 2 minute drills and end of game/half situations. Because all the good QBs in the league can almost score at will in those situations. Welcome to the modern NFL - where 13 seconds is too much time for good QBs while we're still trying to figure out how to get 1st downs.

I feel like Mayfield would've been a solid QB in the era of Trent Dilfer and his ilk. Now - he has to have everything go as planned in order to perform to his maximum potential.

How many of those throws could have Baker made that Allen/ Mahomes made
In.the final 3 mins?

Baker can make all of those throws. We need some upgrades at WR though.

Glad to see Packers and Bucs lose. If chiefs would have lost I would have this weekend results would have been perfect. I'll be rooting for the nfc in the super bowl.

I am trilled that the Packers lost on the frozen tundra.

Yes, I do not like the NFL scheduling night games in January in Green Bay.

I'm not nor have I been rooting for anyone in the playoffs this year. I said I think Cincy might get it done, but damn sure would not root for them. Not only that, but I haven't even watched them. Just clips and scores is about all I've cared to look at. Great games being played, and I've completely lost my appetite for football this year. No idea why, because I usually watch as much post season as I can. Probably the disappointment of watching the Browns last year and expecting to do the same this year. Something is different for me, that much is sure.

We're close to Myka Bowl #2!

Just gotta take care of the pesky Rams and Bengals.

As much as I'd like to see Stafford get a ring and hating SF because of their spoiled fans, my ego won't let me root for anything except SF/KC because Andy Reid/Pat Mahomes and Shanahan/Grapes were my 2 "bang the table" picks for HC/QB when the Browns were looking all those years. If they both make it 2 times vs each other + KCs additional ones I'll forever feel vindicated in my football knowledge and know I only root for a loser because of family tradition and for some reason caring about it lol

That being said...
Just please don't let the Bengals steal our year!

Most pro qb can made those throws. It's just that most don't when it counts most.

Elsewhere on social media the take from this weekend's games is that we need a kicker. Yes, that is what is between us and the AFC championship game ... a kicker.

The Bills had the number 1 defense in the NFL and gave up 42 points to Mahomes and the Chiefs. The league has rules in place that strongly favor the offense. You need to score and have a prolific passer to win today’s NFL. You also need to be able to score quickly. Early 2000s Baltimore defenses don’t exist anymore.

Looking at the young QBs in the AFC and watching last night’s Bills/Chiefs game, it’s pretty clear the Browns aren’t in that same league yet.

With no obvious solution on the horizon.

Look at what all of Allen's hard work has done. He knew his game needed work and has worked his butt off every off season to improve. He owed that to himself, the Bills organization, and the Bills fans.

Baker goes home to Austin and sleeps in his old room for the summer.

Baker spent last night taking to Twitter yet again, because he didn’t like what someone in the local media said about him.

"Baker goes home to Austin and sleeps in his old room for the summer."

No agenda. Right.

I guess you share his room?

You are so full of it

Truth, and that might be being generous. Dude handled the vaccination thing the way he did to avoid any sort of flack, but has no problem stirring up trade drama whenever he's not on the field.


He's super talented and everything... but sweet liberty, he must be a giant PitA to work with.

I was told I didn't know football on FB because people were talking about drafting a kicker in the 2nd or 3rd round and one dude even said to trade back up into the bottom of 1st to get one and I said no GM would draft a kicker that high in the draft.

What's the back story here? What was he responding to?

Baker says this time he's staying away from social media while taking to social media and he means it this time!...

Awww poor Baker doesn't like Dustin Fox so he blocked him?

That's childish. That's immature. That's everything that's still wrong with Baker Mayfield wrapped in a nice little bow.

He's probably just salty from watching how real elite/franchise/playoff QBs actually executed this weekend. It's gotta hurt the pride little man.

What a loser.

Atta boy!

Tell us how you really feel.

Watching the Bucs vs Rams game my wife said it looked like the Rams were running away with it. I told her no lead was safe with Tom Brady on the field. It was the tale of two halves. The Bucs kept making critical mistakes the entire first half and the Rams looked like they were trying to give the game away during the second half. Von Miller hit Brady in a way that the top of his helmet just clipped the bottom of Brady's face mask and of course Brady had to cry to the refs about it. He's so used to having his ass kissed that he threw a tantrum when it didn't work this time. I was happy to see it.

In the second game we saw the elite QB's in the NFL at this point in time and what a face off it was! That second half was something of legend. And for those who say great defenses win championships, as much as I've mirrored that remark, I'm thinking those days may be gone. The Bills have a fine defense.

These were the greatest four divisional games I've ever seen as an entire group of games. They were all decided late and they were all anyone's games at the end. As a fan of the game I couldn't have asked for anything more.

While I think Burrows is a fine QB, I think it's still too early for him to keep up with the likes of Mahomes. If that Buffalo defense couldn't stop Mahomes, I don't think Cinci's can. The Rams 49'ers game is a little harder for me to try and predict. Every time I think the 49'ers can't match up with their opponents, somehow Shanahan comes up with a way to counter them.

On to next week!

j/c...

You mean Kelce is running the wrong routes and that's why Mahomes can never find him when he's open?

No... THEY DECIDED.. meaning Mahomes was aware he was going to deviate from his route... he didn't just run off and do it.

I've never seen a group of people so hellbent on trying to blame a WR for doing everything he can because he's trying to get open. I find it amazing.
