Just saw that the Rams-Vikings game was moved to Glendale Arizona Because of the fires in Southern California

Chargers over Texans Ravens over Steelers Eagles over Packers Vikings over Rams Bucs over Commanders Bills over Broncos
"First down inside the 10. A score here will put us in the Super Bowl. Cooper is far to the left as Njoku settles into the slot. Moore is flanked out wide to the right. Chubb and Ford are split in the backfield as Watson takes the snap ... Here we go."

Mine is more of a 'hope' vs what I think is going to happen.
Ravens embarrass Steelers Chargers beat Texans Packers squeak one out vs Eagles Bucs over Commanders (but hoping for a good game) Bills get past the Broncos Vikings send the Rams home
Detroit gets healthier and the Chiefs somehow get more banged up.
There is no level of sucking we haven't seen; in fact, I'm pretty sure we hold the patents on a few levels of sucking NOBODY had seen until the past few years.

I expected a bit of redemption from Herbert and the Chargers following the collapse in their last trip to the bonus round. Herbert is now officially Andy Dalton until he's not.

The Charger offence did not play well at all, and I had a couple flashback moments to our loss in Houston last January, especially when the Texans almost had a second pick 6.

I expected a bit of redemption from Herbert and the Chargers following the collapse in their last trip to the bonus round. Herbert is now officially Andy Dalton until he's not. He certainly under performed to what I expected to see. But then so did Stroud for most of that first half. What I've seen from Herbert lately tends to make me think he's more of the Jekyll and Hyde variety QB. You never know what you're going to get on any given game day. I picked the Texans to win but I thought it was more of a toss up game that could have gone either way. That's not quite the way things turned out.

Josh Allen was great today, Denver’s young team just not yet where the Bills are. Buff really wore them down by late in the third. First half was good though.

I'm certainly a fan of Baker's and always admired his grit and his ability to fire up his team. He's proven to be a very good QB.
But to focus on Washington for a minute. Last year they were 4-13. Josh Harris bought the team. He did a makeover in every sense of the word. From the FO to the coaching staff to drafting a QB. As a result this year they were 12-5 during the regular season. There should be no doubt their rookie QB Jayden Daniels will be the NFL rookie of the year.
He holds the NFL record for rushing yards by a rookie QB. The highest percentage of completions for a rookie QB at 69%. He broke Commanders franchise records for most passing yards and total yards (4,459) by a rookie QB and was named NFL rookie of the week 11 times. The thing I think that has stuck out most to me is the game has not been too big for him. He always seems calm under pressure and when he does make a mistake he has the ability to shake it off and move on from it.
This total transformation of a team in a single season has truly been amazing and this kid has been a joy to watch.

Agreed. How come we can't turn it around like that??? Oh, that's right. We can't find a QB. But in all fairness, we've only had 25 years!!!!

A single season transformation like the Commanders made is a rare feat. It's actually quite amazing! That's why watching it all unfold has been fascinating to me.
And I get the entire "We've had 25 years!" part. I really do. However, Al Lerner and Jimmy Haslam are two different owners all together. I won't lump the failure of Lerner in with the failure of Halsam.
Halslam thus far has had 14 years to build a team. And he hasn't been any better at it than Lerner was.

Can we do away with the first round of the playoffs? With the exception of bucs/washington, these games were terrible.
It's supposed to be hard! If it wasn't hard, everyone would do it. The hard... is what makes it great!

On paper the 6 games looked like they could be competitive. In reality only one was but the anticipation of the games creates excitement and interest for the fans.
