Playoff games have been zzzzzzzzz

That's what happens when you put nearly half of your league into the playoffs, I guess.

Weird how opinions can be so different. I think Brady has been so bad on commentary that I'm already forgetting how great he was as a player. It's like watching a game with someone who only has a passing knowledge of the sport which is bizarre.

It's mad, $37.5m and relegating Olsen for him. Maybe he'll get better - he does seem like a determined and driven man, but I don't think he uses the telestrator on plays, he doesn't offer much insight and just feels like he's coasting.

I get annoyed at him telling us what the player was thinking on a particular play. There's one he said about Josh Allen that was just so completely ridiculous.

 

Plus, I really don't like the sound of his voice, or... him as a player 

 

 

Can't stand Romo. And I say that as a Cowboys fan. Him predicting the plays is impressive, but it's nothing more than him showing off.

 

What good is someone telling you what is going to happen, but not explaining to you why it is going to happen? You've still learnt nothing as a viewer.

Romo is very good at calling the plays before the snap which I find really insightful. 

Saw a video the other day that he got told to stop calling plays because it was ruining the experience for viewers

100% this. Don’t think the Texans are good enough to do it though, plus I think it will be even sweeter next week when Allen/Lamar sends them home.

[SouthStandUpperTier]

Chiefs look beatable today. But then they have looked beatable all season.

[Guest Lako42]

They will clinch it late on with a questionable call from the officials 

[CheeseHead]

Ffs Texans, missed the extra point to tie

[SouthStandUpperTier]

You just know that if this is close at the end the refs will find a way to bail the Chiefs out.

Already helping them with awful calls like that personal foul one on Mahomes

[spacemunky]

I think the Ravens and Bills are both better teams, but you've got to factor in the refs and the fact they would have to go to Arrowhead.

[Guest Lako42]

Should have called to there

I'm really hoping it's the Bills, but I just have this feeling the Ravens will take it tomorrow.

Evenly matched offenses. But the Ravens' have the better defense which just tips the balance in their favour imho.

[Guest Lako42]

Painful how inplay the texans have been but they just can't get it done. 

 

Chiefs defence seems to have increased intensity and stroud can't find a man.

The missed points are the killer.

Yep

 

The stats don't back it up but it feels like kicking has been woeful this season 

[Guest Lako42]

I needed that kick for £69 

 

 

Useless bastard 

[SouthStandUpperTier]

Why is Fairbairn trying to line-drive a chip-shot FG?

[spacemunky]

What a catch!

[Lineker's Lugs]

Goff has picked a bad day to have a bad day.

[lildave3]

This game is wild so far!
