Bills @ Houston
By far the best game of the weekend, Im so glad Watson has a postseason W on his record. I had doubts about watt making a contribution to the team when I heard the Texans were playing him, but those doubts were thrown out the window by time the night was finished. Watts' energy was essential in helping this team come back and get the win. Glad he came back...
As for the bills, a lot of people are gonna clown Allen and rightfully so, his desicion making down the line was fucking atrocious but i think this was a good experience for him. Despite some of his shit decisions I saw some bright spots in his play.
And besides, he's a young qb decision making isn't gonna be his strongest area at this point of time so when people call him "A glorified runningback" despite the progress he's been making I think its just silly.
And Tbh even tho buffalo blew a 16-point lead they still fought and forced OT. Josh Allen (along with this entire buffalo team) is developing into something special, as long as Yall keep working to improve I see you guys turning into something special.
So bills mafia, ik it sucks that you guys still haven't won a playoff game but be hopeful, you got a lot to look forward to.
Titans @ New England
My reaction to witnessing one of the best postseason rushing performances could be summed up in this video.

As for the patriots, ik their defense held Tennessee to 14 pts for the longest time but they had very few answers for Henry. Dude was picking up 5-7 yards damn-near every carry, every time he picked up 5 yards that clock was getting drained, if the pats offense was doing better this year then I'd look at those guys more but they weren't, at this point in the season Yall knew what type of offense Yall had and you also knew the titans were gonna be running Henry like crazy. The offense isn't free from either (like come on guys, 0 points in the 2nd half?) but this was a really disappointing performance from a defense that was hyped to hell and back.
Oh well, GTFO and don't come back you Boston bastards.
Vikings @ New Orleans
Let me make this clear, the Vikings have a good defense, mike zimmer and peyton are very familiar with eachother so they know how they what they like to do, but Jesus Christ the saints offense could never get in a consistent rhythm. Tbh Brees didn't look good, ik the vikes always have a decent defensive line so if you wanna excuse the fumble to that D-line, I guess you could do that. In those situations ball security is the only concern you ought to have but I get that those mistakes happen from time to time, but what about that int? Brees had all the protection he needed and he just couldn't get it to his man.
I'm not too concerned about the saints future, we have to pay a few guys so when free agency rolls around we'll be a little limited but we still have SB level talent. How far we go next year depends on our qb situation.
But to get back to the game, this loss really came down to the offense not performing, sure dalvin cook had a nice day on the ground, but the defense got multiple stops and our offense couldn't capitalize.
Congrats to the Vikings, Yall took care of business. Dalvin cook was a monster, and even tho Kirk didn't have a huge game he made some bigtime throws that helped the vikes to a win.
This has to be the biggest upset of the weekend. I didn't think it was too unlikely the titans would pull out a W, but I didn't give the vikes too much of a chance. Once I saw that cook was coming back I figured this would end up a bit more competitive than I originally had in mind but I still didn't see us losing to the vikes.
This loss stings but I feel good for cousins, when it was time for him to air out the ball and be clutch he did so at the perfect time. At the end if last season, people (including myself) have been doubting him and wondered if he was truly deserving of that huge contract. Its gonna take awhile before I put him in that elite category but THIS GAME he did what he had to do to win. You gotta respect that....
Seahawks @ Philadelphia
I was expecting to see a competitive game, and to an extent that's what I got. The eagles defense played valiantly, they did their best to keep the offense in it but Carson wentz getting knocked out of the game pretty early killed any hope this team had of at least making it to the divisional round. To be fair to Mcown he played okay, he never killed his team but in a playoff game you need a qb that's above average.
To the Seahawks, I feel a little concerned about yall. It'd be cool if you guys won over green bay but your RB situation is odd, maybe im underestimating the eagles (I've been doing so all season) but when wentz went out i feel like they should've pulled away at that moment. It is a road game and the eagles defense has been playing their best these past few weeks so maybe I'm tripping, but I feel like they should've gotten more points in the board than they did.
Welp, that's all fir this week. Cya after the divisional round!
My chat for the divisional games
Btw I'd Prolly be more upset about that emmbarassing loss we took against the vikes if the pats were still in the playoffs, so thanks again titans.....
