All tied up and one quarter to go. Great game

[rfuerst911sc]

Wow what a finish !!!

[stevej37]

Yes it was...I hope the next one is good.
It's gotta be quite cold there tonight!


I just looked...it's 15F at this time...not bad.

I gotta give the Packers the edge...home field advantage.

I really didn't think the Bengals/Titans game would be that close! But then again I didn't think Cincy's line would give up NINE SACKS. Sheesus where was that when they played the Steelers?

Amazing that both underdog visiting teams pulled off last second field goals to advance to the next round. Niners defense and special teams wow they did great . Burrows for Cincy was so calm/collected as he was getting hammered by titans defense . Just great games to watch .

I can only hope that today's games are just as close and hard fought . Would be crazy if all visiting teams advanced 😁

SF 13 GB 10...Didn't see that coming!! If someone would have bet me that SF would hold GB to 10 points, I'd have put money down. Great games yesterday. Hopefully the two today will be as competitive!

Does Rogers stick around next season?

I say yes but with a caveat, what talent leaves and what talent is brought in. He said he has no desire to go through a rebuilding year.

Cincy isn't a little guy. Honestly what became pretty clear to me was that they're a 1a receiver away from being a really dominant offense. They have their #1 in Chase. If they can find a true 1a, watch out.

I was referring to the FG kickers. Compared to their teammates they be tiny.

Oooooooooooh my bad. How impressive is Cincy's rookie kicker!? Guy was kicking 50 yarders like they were chip shots. I think they said he was a 5th round pick?
As long as he doesn't run up and headbutt a goalpost he should be good for years to come.

I just finished watching the Packers/49'er game on DVR - I didn't see THAT coming!

The stats in the GB/SF game were really even too. Sometimes in a game like this one team clearly outplays the other but still finds a way to lose. Not here!

The Cincy game was fairly even by the stats but not like the SF/GB game. Cincy won the T.O.P and the turnover battle but penalties and sacks KILLED Cincy. 9 friggin sacks in a game? Joey Franchise has to be one sore puppy today.

No doubt Cincy has to come up with a better offensive line scheme for the next game . Or a game plan that has Burrows releasing the ball almost immediately . There were too many sacks where the defender wasn't even touched , that's how qb's get hurt .

Why did Vrable(?)go for two points when 1 point would have given them the lead? It came back to bite him in the end. One point lead with the ball and keeping it on the ground with Henry. Can someone clarify it for me?

I was scratching my head on that one too. But from the 1 yard line with Derrick Henry as your RB? It seems like a gimme.
The one that was more confusing to me was the run by Tannehill on 3rd down then handing off to Henry on 4th down. I would have handed Henry the ball twice.

One point gives you the lead, two points also gives you the lead but a field goal by Cincy gives them the lead. I didn’t see the advantage of taking the risk of a two point conversion. Too risky and it did bite him in the butt!
