Wildcard Round: What Are We Learning

Well, Trevor got his playoff jitters out of the way.
If it wasn't already clear, we know what Trevor preferred MO is: quick, short/immediate passing game. But Trevor showed his ability to take advantage of defenses that focus on taking the shorter passing game away
Maybe hard to find too many solid takeaways since the script was so weird.

Fly, Eagles, Fly!
All I can say is Holy Fing Shit. Chargers just can’t stop being the Chargers. So crazy.

And as an Eagles fan, I don’t want to overreact, but seeing the way SF played despite the score, I’m feeling much better about our chances vs them.

Giants +3 and anybody against McCarthy

Better have a sizable lead at half..

As a 9er fan I do not want to see Dallas. That defense relies on making turnovers and Brock plays with fire. He plays like he did in the first half and 9ers could be down 3 scores vs an opportunistic opponent. If he plays like he did 2h no one stands a chance.
Also think Giants could certainly muck it up vs Eagles. But to avoid Dallas I guess I’ll be cheering for Minny who the 9ers are designed to destroy.

Dallas makes it past TB and Minny doesn't win, lick your chops
Insanely watered down NFC

The interior of the 9ers oline is going to have problems in Philly if it gets there.
If Philly doesn’t get clipped next week, I think its a troubling matchup for the 9ers.

The worst Wildcard and Divisional matchups I can recall. Reminding me of the lesser Bowl games including teams with 6-6 records.
Agree and said in another thread the Chargers should do whatever it takes to get Payton. Not having Williams killed them in Red Zone and 2H - they likely score in 40's with him vs kick/try FGs. They are wasting Herbert and the prime years of some guys around him with Staley - Allen, Bosa and Mack all getting up there. As a former SD fan, I hope they keep Staley and keep coming up short. With KC/Mahomes, Buff/Allen, Cincy/Burrow they need a great coach to break through that. Think Payton would be it.

I don't think there is any troubling matchup for the 49ers. Best team in the league, maybe by far.
McCaffrey add has put them above and beyond the other teams.
I actually think the 49ers equally give Philly problems.
Line would probably be Eagles -3

Think it's more a pick, or SF -3 (with Philly getting the home 3).
Miami had 231 total yards…Bill D can‘t help it if Josh Allen wants to be a turnover machine
They could very well be the best team but they've beaten none of the premier teams in their win streak (Philly, KC, Buffalo, Cincy and even Dallas). And Seattle played them even the 1H. Philly at home could easily win if Hurts is healthy. Just me, but I don't see any dominant teams this year at all. Any of these teams could win it.
Spot on.
I'm glad they won, obviously, but the 2h was about low Seattle possession+ having to be one dimensional in their 4th quarter possessions.
This wasn't a dominant d in 2h.
Second half wasn't good vs Seattle either.

I was initially leaning that way too, but the more I think about it, the more I think I'm changing my mind. Bengals lost another OL starter (3 now in the past 3 games) & playing the Ravens, who are extremely physical on offense & defense in back to back weeks, might take a toll. Of course, if Allen gives the ball away 3 times again, none of what I just said will probably matter.
A lot to ponder.
Cincy OL issues...
Buffalo Josh Allen issues ...
Coaching advantage to Cincy...
Weather?
High emotion game for a few reasons...

That was the opener at DK at least. I was watching live when it posted. Not sure what the Vegas books opened at, or if DK follows their lead.
I wrote in another thread that I bet the Cincy TT the night Hamlin got hurt, was 29 I think. Think Cincy would have scored 40+ that night. I was looking to play vs the Buffalo defense. Wasn't sure about Miami though but jumped on their TT Over 13.5 Live early in the game once they started moving it. Now Cincy with 3 OL starters out. Not sure it will matter - have to see what number is and weather. Buffalo defense can't stop anyone.
I was down on Sean last year. I don't think he's a bad coach but some of his decisions are interesting to me. Most notably, is going away from the run in 2h's. The RBs had around 60 today at halftime (4.4 per). They finished with 87 on 22 carries. This isn't extreme, as he's had much lower 2h's rushing wise. It's just not smart. That's all.
Zak is solid imo. I loved their adjustments to start 3rd tonight. Although, that was all they could muster in the 2h.
I'll say a slight advantage to Cincy coach. Fair enough?
Sounds about right on the weather. There is a system coming our way Thurs, so that will pass BUF well before hand.
Buffalo had trouble rushing 4 today and getting to Miami.
They better be creative next week and blitz at the right times.

Buffalo's defense actually played pretty well today other than allowing a 4th & 8 conversion & a 3rd & 19 where they forgot they were supposed to cover Hill. Miami only 4 of 16 on 3rd down. Allen gave them 10-13 points. Saying they played well with Skylar Thompson at QB is kind of a back-handed compliment though.
That's wild.
I know someone posted DK at 5.5 so it was already on the move.
First I saw was 4. Then that went to 3.5.
I think 3.5 and 4 are perfect numbers to get even action.
6 was ripe for picking.

Yeah, it moved rapidly. The opener got bet down to 3.5 in less than 5 minutes. Looks like it's stabilized at 4 now.
looks like it will be 23. Will have to check weather obviously. Buffalo defense stinks IMO but all the OL out for Cincy and now being on the road will give me pause. I honestly don't think Cincy was going to punt in the previous Hamlin MNF game. But things have changed in just a few weeks. Probably will still be a 2u (5u is max) bet if stays under 24 and weather is good. Buffalo D isn't Baltimore. When I bet a TT I also need the other team to score and obviously Buffalo will score.
Exactly. Gotta watch out for recency bias and scoreboard-capping.
Curious the breakdown pre and post Von.
