Hello people. 
 

So today, after the weekend, what’s your personal ranking between the remaining teams ? 
 

You can obviously consider the injuries situation about every team, if you know it. 
 

What about: 

 

- 49ers

- lions

- bills

- ravens

- chiefs 

- packs

- texans 

- bucks

 

 

Gnocchi (w/bolognese)

Veal Parmesan

Minestrone

Chicken Cacciatore

Lasagna

Penne Rigate in clam sauce

Bruschetta (pronounced broo-skett-a for all you who say it wrong at restaurants).

Baccala

Yeah, that would suck if he can’t clear in time…

the protocol doesn't change due to it being a 2nd or 3rd occurrence, that I've seen

I only missed on Cleveland who I had #1, Green Bay who i had #6 and the Bucs who i had #7. I'm not gonna change much on the remainder

Baltimore
Houston
Buffalo
Kansas City

San Francisco
Lions
Green Bay
Bucs

I honestly think the Bills are the best team left (even with the injuries). The injuries hurt , but we have Josh Allen, a deep roster, lots of playmakers, and they are more battle-tested than any other team at this point. The Bills are 6-1 against playoff teams this year (should be 7-0, if the refs didn't steal the Philly game from us). Baltimore, I don't know, they still just don't scare me that much for some reason. They are 6-3 vs. playoff teams, which is good. They lost to Pittsburgh twice (though week 18 they obviously rested players). And I know they are a better team this year, but the last two times the teams met, McD was able to have an answer for Jackson. The Niners are a very good team and I like Brock, but I don't think he is a QB that can really put a team on his back at this point (which I think you need to go on serious run for the Lombardi). I may have the Chiefs a bit low, and you can never count Mahomes out, but I feel like their lack of playmakers on the offense really hurts them.

 

Bills

Baltimore

Niners

Lions

Chiefs

Houston

Green Bay

Bucs

Ravens (Consistently a high performing team, no glaring weakness)

49ers

Chiefs (healthier than Buffalo)

Bills (I'd love to rate them higher, but they have injuries galore.  That said, we are resilient and have JA17)

Lions (Nice offense and I really like Dan Campbel) 

Texans

Packers

Bucs

 

If I had to group these teams in tiers it would be:

 

Ravens & 49ers

Chiefs, Bills & Lions

Texans & Packers

Bucs

 

 

Lamar's numbers in his 4 playoff games:

 

4 TDs

5 INTs

19 sacks

56% completion rate

68 QB Rating

 

Those aren't even replacement level numbers. Certainly aren't franchise QB numbers. Maybe practice squad level QB numbers.

 

IMO, Ravens have a good chance of being one and done and if they win, willing to bet it's more because of their defense than Lamar.

 

When the stakes are highest, Lamar is at his worst.

I agree with your tiers. Spot on. The rest is very debatable since we beat KC in KC just a few weeks ago but yes we’re injured so we’ll see. Just feels like Buffalos year if the swifty refs stay out of it

Nothing you said is wrong, but past performance doesn't guarantee future results.

 

Unfortunately, I think it will be hard for us to get past our injuries this week, but if we do (and don't see any more of our guys lost to injuries), then I will feel very good about facing either the Ravens or Texans.  Since 2019, we've always played the Ravens very well (only loss being in '19 before Josh's breakout).  The games have been hard fought but we've prevailed and I think we could this year too.  Would like our chances even better if the game was in Buffalo, but alas...

 

If the Texans win, then I definitely like our chances facing them as a warm weather dome team in blustery Orchard Park with their rookie HC and QB combo (even though I think they are both very talented ).

It'll certainly interesting to see how Baltimore go from essentially having a fortnight off and then going straight into a play off game. Even more so when you consider how slow Jackson starts play off games in general. 

 

I wouldn't be too shocked to see Houston jump to a 10-14 point lead. I also wouldn't be shocked to see Baltimore come back from that.

Baltimore (just becuase I guess I’m not really impressed but their win over 49ers in their house is an excellent win - not sold though

 

49ers

meh again just becuase I guess - not sold on Purdy and the gimmicks won’t work in the playoffs - may get eliminated this weekend to be honest

 

_______\\\\
stop there ok I’m starting over

 

buffalo

packers

ravens

49ers

Lions

chiefs

texans

bucs

 

go ahead let’s discuss I think the chiefs over the last month is the most hyped and less talented team than all of them aside from Patrick mahomes

 

rhey have played NO ONE for two months and still played like crap

 

 the Miami game is “scaring” everyone - MIAMI DIDNT SHOW UP!  
 

sorry I wouldn’t be surprised if Buffalo absolutely murdered them in OP this week 

 

3 pt favorites is a slap in buffalos face for 2020 and 2021 - it’s disrespecting Josh Allen and the bills 

 

we have beaten them handily 3 times in a row IN THEIR HOUSE only for “oh it’s just regular season!!!”  To merit - no credit to Sean or josh

 

complete disrespect 

 

Wanna talk the rest I. Game but KC is definitely the weaker

Ravens and then everyone else, but Playoff Lamar is usually a far less good version of regular season Lamar.

 

Do they? Brock Purdy is still the weak link

 

Until he proves otherwise (and maybe he might), Lamar Jackson isn’t any more trustworthy in the playoffs than Dak Prescott is.

Lamar has been practice squad level in the playoffs.  just downright abysmal.  

 

Stats in 4 playoff games?

 

4 Total TDs(3 passing, 1 rushing)

5 INTs(including at least 1 pick 6)

56% Completion Rate

68 QB Rating

19 sacks.

 

If he put up those numbers during the regular season, he would be benched. As a likely 2 time MVP, those numbers are absolutely embarrassing and show when the stakes are highest, he folds like a cheap tent under the pressure.

No, but the most likely predictor is what he has already shown.  It's not like he was playing bad during the regular season in any of those years.  All those seasons, his numbers were far better.

 

The closest was his rookie year when his QB Rating in the regular season was 84.4 and playoffs was 78.5, only 5.9 points lower.  in fact, the highest rated game he ever had was his rookie year in the playoffs.

 

In 2019, he had a 113.3 QB Rating during the regular season and a 63.2 QB Rating in the playoffs, 50.1 points lower.

In 2020, he had a 99.8 QB Rating during the regular season and a 68.1 QB Rating in the playoffs, 31.7 points lower.

In 2023, he has a 102.7 QB Rating during the regular season and a ??? QB Rating during the playoffs.  I'm guessing it's not higher than 85.

 

When he shows he can play well in the playoffs, then maybe I will believe it.  He hasn't. Not in ANY of his 4 appearances so far.  When do you just call it like it is and stop thinking a playoff turd will turn into a diamond?
