What We Learned from Wild Card Weekend
Fun Fact out of the 8 head coaches there’s only one head coach that has a defensive background (sean McDermott)
Dallas Cowboys @ Tampa Bay BuccaneersEarly on worried me with cowboys then they settled in
Dak Prescott Shut everyone up
Dak haters saying he wasn’t reading defenses meanwhile read Tampa all night
Dak wasn’t even the one that had the best night! Kellen Moore was flawless
Dak played the best game of his career
Cowboys can finally check off some demons
Tyler smith will be a top OL in this league within the next 2 years
Tom brady was off
Tom Brady looked old
Tom brady won’t be on that team next year whether its another team or retire
Seattle Seahawks @ San Francisco 49ersfirst half was kept close
seattle losing the fumble cost them the game changed momentum
Brock purdy moves to 6-0 in his career
Purdy showed poise made plays
Christian McCaffrey with big game
Geno smith at the time of the fumble was 14/18 164 yards 1 TD at the end of 3rd
DK had a big game 10 catches for 136 yards
Kenneth walker averaged 4.2 yards per carry
Dallas Cowboys @ San Francisco 49ersGreat test for both teams
Cowboys had a +125 Point Differential this season; during the season the 49ers faced the chiefs (+127) and Seahawks (+6) every other opponent finished with a negative point differential
I hated the monday night wild card game, great for your regular football fan to have 3 straight days of playoff football but terrible for the play on the field the fact 49ers played on saturday at 4 (1 cali time) and cowboys played 830 monday
both defenses very good, its going to come down to who’s offense actually steps up
when will we see or will we see the “rookie” brock purdy, only game that was a bit of a struggle for him was arizona but other than that he hasn’t looked like a rookie and every rookie has their moments
1/3rd of purdy’s 30 attempts vs sea went to targets that had at least 5 yards separation
Dak needs to continue what he showed on monday night otherwise people will forget that performance
49ers defense hasn’t played an offense like the cowboys since the game against the chiefs which was their last loss of the season back in week 7
49ers are susceptible to the passing game
key for the cowboys offense is to protect dak the way they did monday night and no turnovers
SF has had a turnover in every single game this year
key for cowboys defense is to tackle, deebo and Cmac are yards after type players and biggest key is to get to brock purdy
Brock purdy’s previous defenses he’s faced Mia 18th, TB 10th, SEA 26th, WAS 3rd Tot, LVR 28th, ARI 21st, SEA 26th
Key for SF pressure on Dak and stop the run
Key for SF on offense, run the ball and don’t turn the ball over
Los Angeles Chargers @ Jacksonville Jaguars1st half was all the chargers and 2nd half all jaguars
Broadcast was MIS…ER….ABLE!
this game is the reason i think trevor lawrence is already in the top 10 as a QB in this league, to have a 23 yr old throw 4 ints in his first playoff game and to be down 27-0 at one point yet stay poised and in the game to come back and win is unbelievable
i don’t even know what to say about the chargers, its inexcusable to have a QB with the talent of justin herbert and first off not finish this game off but also not make deep runs in the playoffs
ive been hard on doug Pederson but what he’s done with this jacksonville team is nothing short of incredible
According to NFL Research, Lawrence boasts the highest-passer rating increase from Year 1 to Year 2 of any quarterback in league history. His passer rating has increased by 24.1 points
Jacksonville Jaguars @ Kansas City ChiefsThis is a rematch from earlier in the season (week 10)
Jaguars coming in with a huge amount of momentum and hype
will bye deem harmful for kansas city?
jaguars are a different team than they were in week 10
Jags on 6 game win streak
4 straight AFC Champ games
TLaw has never lost a football game on a saturday 52-2 in HS lost 2 on a friday 38-2 in college losing on a bama monday and OSU friday and 1-0 NFL last saturday
New york Giants @ Minnesota VikingsI think we all saw this coming, we knew vikings were frauds but this solidified it
Daniel Jones might’ve had his best career game
ive never seen so many wide open receivers as i did on sunday
Defense for giants played really well between kayvon and dexter
Minnesotas defense was so bad, so bad that giants fans think daniel jones is a top 10 qb
Daniel jones reminds me of eli manning so much and i know everyone joked about it when he was drafted but its true, middle of the pack QB
brian daboll is actually a really good head coach
New York Giants @ Philadelphia EaglesGiants are 8-1 straight up as playoff underdog since 20072007 +3 @TB W
07 +7 @DAL W
07 +7.5 @GB W
07 +12.5 NE W

22 +2.5 @ MIN W
Its hard to beat a team 3 times in a season
first meeting with a healthy jalen hurts eagles put a beating down on the giants
Giants are hot but eagles aren’t the vikings lets not get to far ahead of ourselves here vikings are not a good football team they overcame their weaknesses because of the stars they have on that team
Jalen hurts had another week to recover from the shoulder injury
the only worry when it comes to the eagles is that with the struggles they had at the end of the season and hurts only getting one game before the playoffs and eagles struggling against the giants and then having the bye will that effect them
#1 seeds one and done stats
Baltimore Ravens @ Cincinnati BengalsCincinnati struggled in this game
Weird that lamar jackson didn’t travel with the team
Offensive line is still an issue for Bengals causing burrow to get the ball out quick with no big time throws throughout this game
Losing jonah williams can deem big
Bengals let Huntley finish with his 2nd best QBR in his career
missed opportunities for ravens in red zone ultimately ending with fumble
qb sneak has worked so well for every team but not going over the top
Miami Dolphins @ Buffalo BillsBuffalo blew a 17 point lead
josh allen continued turnover issue
just knowing a skylar thompson led team to a 3 pt loss to bills is unsettling for the bills
take it as a division rival
josh allen needs to cool it with the turnovers, won’t be able to overcome going up against a good QB
dolphins had 7 sacks against josh allen
Cincinnati Bengals @ Buffalo Bills3 backup lineman potentially playing for cincinnati and losing awuzie for the season
injuries are hitting at the worst time for bengals
Burrow is showing really how good he actually is
Burrow sacked league high 51 times
Josh allen sacked 7 times is a concern now facing hubbard and hendrickson
Cincinnatis secondary is my biggest concern in this matchup
