blizofoz45 Posted December 25, 2019 Share Posted December 25, 2019 Where's that Rams fan from last year who acted like he'd just discovered football and had never seen his team win a game before? He wound up being the only redeeming factor in the Patriots winning another super bowl. I kinda miss the little guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talk about a long shot. Oh lol. IDK, Raiders actually have a decent shot at getting in.

All it takes is: WK 17 Raiders over BroncosRavens over SteelersTexans over TitansColts over Jaguars I could definitely see all of that happening.

Magnifico Posted December 25, 2019 Share Posted December 25, 2019 I wanted to say Ravens vs. Saints, however I can't see the Saints getting to the Superbowl as the #3 Seed. So gonna go for Ravens vs. Packers. Someone (Seattle fter losing in Wk.17) takes out the 49ers, and the Packers edge the Saints in the divisional game before exacting revenge on the Seahawks? Then they get routed by the Ravens in a fairly tedious Superbowl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elky Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 I don't think Baltimore will win the Super Bowl. These flashy offenses, especially if they have the league MVP, almost always disappoint in the playoffs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Buck Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 49ers vs. Chiefs. I don't know who would win, but it would be one heck of a game. Chiefs have Mahomes, but they also have Andy Reid, whose record isn't exactly stellar in the playoffs. The Chiefs' D has been looking very good lately too. With the 49ers, a lot of it could come down to how healthy they can be. If they are at 100%, I think they are the best team in the league. Getting the #1 seed and a bye week would be Yuge for them.

And Mark Ingram just got a calf strain, so maybe he's not 100% in the playoffs. Edited December 26, 2019 by Kirill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Referring to the post I quoted, the MVP rarely wins the super bowl, especially as the first seed. I think the last time it happened was in the 90's. Lamar's performance in the playoffs last year doesn't give me any hope he's going to buck that trend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay, but using "it's never happened before" isn't valid justification that it won't happen. 7 minutes ago, Kirill said: Lamar's performance in the playoffs last year doesn't give me any hope he's going to buck that trend. Yeah, because rookie QBs should be expected to dominate the postseason, and there's definitely no growth between years 1 and 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't like the psyche of the Ravens this season. They look more like a "good job good effort Lamar" playoff exit than the champs. They've been cheerleading for that MVP trophy for Lamar since like week 6. You have guys like Earl crying about other teams tackling Lamar and saying they'll be in the superbowl. Earl also said earlier in the season Mahomes wouldn't get big plays on him, then we repeatedly cooked him, even without Hill in that game. Other guys on their team have been talking nonstop about being champions or in the superbowl. They've done a lot of talking for a team with a gimmicky offense and a young QB with one playoff game under his belt that he looked all-time bad in. If there's one thing I've learned from the Patriots, it's that you don't want your team to get too high or low in pursuit of the championship. It's all good for me though, they've taken a lot of shine from the Chiefs having the top defense in the final 6 weeks and Mahomes returning to his usual unstoppable self. Don't think I've ever seen Mahomes this locked in, he's on some GOAT level competitior ish and doing his damage on the field and not in the media with click bait friendly soundbites. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
