I heard a stat this week that Kevin Stefanski is tied for 9th longest tendered coach in the NFL but last in the AFC North. Mike Tomlin 16 years, John Harbaugh 15 years, Zac Taylor 5 years, and Kevin Stefanski 4 years. The Ravens and Steelers have been consistently good because they have continuity. It is also not a coincidence that all 4 of the AFC North teams had winning records when their 4 coaches are in the top ten tenured coaches in the league. The 2 go hand in hand.

One thing I've noticed the last 2 weeks. The Packers sure are a punishing team, they hit hard and hurt people.

Baltimore took care of business easily in the 2nd half ... SF (I think) will win this game

I ended up pulling for them as the game went on.

The NFL favors teams playing with house money and nothing to lose. It’s the ultimate one and done format. The truly elite teams with elite QBs are able to rise above it.

Looking forward to watching Baker tonight - Expecting Tampa to get smashed like Houston did but it's nice to have someone to root for.

I like Baker too and wished him well when he left. I wanted him to be our QB for the next 10-15 years when we drafted him but obviously it didn't work out. I too am rooting for the Lions because if there's any fan base that's had it worse than us it's Detroit. Either way the Lions or Baker will be in the championship game and both are good stories. I hope Buffalo wins today. I like JA and have nothing against KC but KC has been there and won while Buffalo has never won a Super Bowl. GO Bills!!!

I’ll be sharing that clip with a few my old teammates. Tell them it reminds me of how they used to play.
😂

I’ll be rooting for Buffalo. I want to root for Detroit but would love to see Baker get a shoot in the Title game. Great football on today.

What he refused to mention is that Berry traded Mayfield, a QB playing in the divisional round of the playoffs today for a conditional draft pick while agreeing to pay over 5 million dollars of his contract. Every GM has their warts. Selecting which warts to point out by which GM you choose to screams of an agenda.

agree with that

Lions look they won't be denied today

Lions fans are pumped!

SF looks very beatable.

Can the lions make it to the Super Bowl…leaving Cleveland as the only non expansion franchise to never appear in a Super Bowl?

Bucs offensive line is not good.

Aren’t we technically an expansion franchise? I mean, the team that played here from ‘46-‘95 plays in Baltimore and has won 2 already. - Led by our Ozzie Newsome who learned everything that he knows here in Cleveland. Doesn’t change the fact that it’s a pathetic attribute for us though.

There's something up with this scheme, 3 sacks and three times the defender has been untouched. They just stuffed Rashad white in the backfield, off the edge, untouched.

it's amazing that the Bucs can't get the ball more to Evans or Godwin

They’ve been getting it to Evans but the Godwin thing has been an issue all season.

If the bucs lose it won’t be because of Mayfield.

I see number 6 lost the game for the Bucs.
Baker just isn't a big game QB. He chokes when the
Lights are brightest

Baker is pretty much money at throwing game ending interceptions. I still love the guy though.

Baker doing what he does. When the game is on the line, throw a stupid pass to a covered receiver and get it picked off

It’s a game within a game. Baker played great and loose all game because they were underdogs. But on a last minute drive the concept of favorite and underdog goes out the window and you’re expected to deliver.

I still think he played great this game and defense let them down more than Baker.

Check.

He actually played really well. You’re acting like you were proven right and you weren’t.

Now if you wanted to say he’s not clutch when it matters most that would have been proven right.

How did the Browns 2020 playoff loss vs the Chiefs end? Looked very similar as what happened to the Tampa today.

I thought that was game 1 of the following year.

The Baker haters are far more annoying than the Baker lovers. Some of the comments are laughable.

You are right. The playoff game ended with that stupid scramble by Henne on 3rd and long, then the quick pass on 4th and short to Hill. Then running out the clock. I totally forgot Baker could not lead the team to take the lead in the 4th quarter after Mahomes was knocked out of the game.

Mahomes is so good.

I think I would legit rather listen to Foghorn Leghorn than Tony Romo.

Endless, annoying blather. The voice. 😫 The non-stop "this is what the team will do". The obnoxious, patronizing explanation of what's going on in the game within the game.

Somebody please shoot me.

Romo is awful. I was calling that back when he was the shiny new toy.

Equally awful is Greg Olsen. The new shiny toy.

Chiefs just got nailed with the worst rule in football, the fumble through endzone touchback. At least they didn't get an uncalled helmet-to-helmet as well.

Right? Don't want to hear them crying about it either.

Me too. He's actually improved. He's gone from WOAT to three levels below SUCK.

Buffalo just can’t solve KC.

Allen misses alot of big throws

He wasn't good when it mattered AS USUAL!!!!!!!!!!!!...smh.
