So it has been scripted for a Pats/Bucs Super Bowl. Unless that doesn't happen. In which case the NFL decided Mac wasn't ready for the spotlight, so they chose another team entirely. And if another team other than the Bucs represent the NFC it's because they decided without the Pats it wasn't worth having the Bucs. Basically any combination of teams and any eventual winner proves it's a fix. You're right, I can't process that

No you haven't. You sound like a flat earther. How do you know the earth is flat? Because it is. What evidence do you have? I just know and anyone who thinks otherwise is living in denial.

A) why are you watching? B) If it's scripted, why so many bad, uncompetitive games (like last year's SB)?

So you're saying it's fixed rather than the refs just being useless? Why would they make so many games blowouts then, like last year's SB? Surely the NFL would want the biggest game of the year to be as close as possible if they were fixing it?

Urgh, flags

Really hope Raiders get a TD here, will make a very interesting 4th quarter

Bengals must be wondering how they're not by a lot more

Good boy Zay

I wouldn't swap Allen for Burrow. Love Allen and he's way more exciting to watch but objectively I'd put Burrow a notch ahead. Although I've only seen five of Burrows games this year, including this, and a few of those have been against poor defences

I don't like to admit it but to me he's better than Allen right now, just

Amazing play by Burrow, dare I say it was Allen-esque

Is that the name of the bar? (sorry)

Great pass there Edit: even better in slow mo

I like playoff games like this, lots of offensive yards but not a huge amount of points. Makes it feel more intense Obviously make an exception when the Bills are playing

I'm quite liking him too

Bengals playing with fire not getting TDs on those drives

Hold them to a FG here and you can wrestle back some of the momentum

I was going to say when that drive started, the Raiders cannot turn it over here. This thing could get out of hand here. Veteran Raiders fans must be thinking about the championship game against us

I've always liked the Bengals. Don't know why. If we can't win the Super Bowl I'd like to see them get one

I'm as guilty of making the Zay Jones jokes as anyone but I always thought he was a nice kid, happy to see him in the playoffs with another team

Several times an hour

Would I love it if the Bills march down like that later on

Man, Burrow gets the ball out quick. Loving the Ickey Shuffle

3-0 Pats 3-3 6-3 Pats 12-6 Pats (4th quarter scoring goes a bit wild)

Must not forget to pick against us. Bills 6 - Pats 12
