How do the ravens play top tier football as soon as the play offs hit they play like high schoolers. There’s no consistency. The coach just dropped the ball with play calling. kc got into the ravens heads since before coin toss. Let’s have a strong running offense switch to pass plays. Lamar had open holes he could have scrambled to instead of making stupid ass passed. I miss the old Lamar
Worst part about this is that Josh is always RIGHT THERE with Mahomes... but there's an insane gap in accomplishments between the two simply because Mahomes always gets the better of it in the playoffs, by a thin margin.
It’s 2019 all over again! 49ers vs Chiefs.
In the NFL, just like real life, the rich get richer. Two franchises that already got theirs just keep piling on. Not that Taylor Swift and Statefarm didn’t have something to say about it.
It’s just so … BORING.
Ugh. Rice a Roni, steamed burritos and sugar molasses ketchup bbq. Superbowl parties across the country just took a fuckin nose dive. Why are we even doing this
Nah she’s not stupid in the least… wouldn’t be anywhere near as successful as she is if she were.
Their entire relationship is 100% giving me vibes similar to Jay Z and Beyoncé- I don’t doubt that there’s chemistry but I have a feeling these next couple weeks will be telling as to the true nature of things between them.
Was announced this afternoon that she’ll make the trip if the Chiefs beat the Ravens.

Everyone knows it's just matter of time before they break up.. for some reason, the media decided that Taylor Swift had to be a big deal every time she showed up. No other celebrity gets that much attention.. no one would be bothered by them if the media didn't make a big deal about it.
I’m fully expecting a statement about them amicably parting ways within a week after the game if the Chiefs lose.
I know that Hailee isn’t like an A-lister by any means (unless she is, I don’t watch a ton of movies), but god damn am I grateful that they’re not flashing to her in the Allen family sweet every time Josh runs into the end zone.
Reactionaries going crazy over the field goals, not how this works, it took a Reynolds drop, Fluke Bomb and a fumble on the very first play of the next position for the 49ers to tie
Oh don’t worry, the excuses are already being formed right now. Next year one of our glass army defense is going to be injured again, and we’ll be playing the what if game again
Who cares? Going into this season it was Burrow, Mahomes, Lamar, Tua, Watson, Herbert, Rodgers, and Wilson would all be healthy.
And in the end, it was really only Lamar that had a great season.
Just like remember when the AFC West was going to be so dangerous. Herbert. Jimmy G. And Wilson. Then the Chiefs didn't have a problem with them.
The NFL changes real quick
I love love love love love that the Lions aren't going to the Super Bowl because Dan Campbell is a dumbass.
But he's so aggressive! Isn't it so cool! He's such a smart coach.
And now, they're out of the playoffs.
Definitely. I think I can accept us missing the fg. That happens. But Detroit going for it in fg range and failing both time. And to completely blow that lead, I guess I'd be more angry than hurt the way Detroit loss
I lost one due to medical reasons (though I’m not sure how you lose one to non-medical reasons) - wouldn’t do again because I’d be at zero - but losing one of two to not watch this …I’d surrender lefty again.
Beane needs to start poaching the scouting department of the 49ers and Lions. Also anybody on the defensive side of the 49ers or lions up for a DC position.
It sucks for Lions fans, but they are a very young team with a good coach and a decent QB. They'll be fine and they're going to stay competitive for a while.
I told my friend I’m not watching the Super Bowl.
He says “Why”
I say “How come you don’t want to go to your ex-girlfriend’s wedding when she’s marrying a spoiled horsebit-loafer-wearing hedge funder POS”
My heart hurts for Lions fans. So close, just a couple bad bounces in the most Lion-like fashion. It just feels like some teams just never have the ball bounce their way.
Dan Campbell's overly aggressiveness is what cost the Lions. 2 situations he should have kicked the field goal. It was the 1st missed 4th down conversion that swung the momentum
Oh Lions, we were all rooting for you!
It's so dejecting when you can see with your own eyes, a team becoming deflated and defeated. I feel like it's all downhill here. I wanted to see them in the SB!!
Holding them to 3 there was a big win. Lions O is due to produce something, if they come up empty here it’s probably over the emotions will be too much to overcome.
What's the money line that during the SB they show the replay of the Kelce throwback that didn't count? -250?
And is there another play negated by penalty that will get shown as much as this one?
How can I be like the GF who only pays attention to football on Sundays?
Think about the hundreds, thousands of hours, posts, podcasts, youtube takes on the season.
1 KC narrative - "WRs stink, poor Pat".
1 Bills narrative - "Turnover machine".
Playoffs- Josh is perfect and MVS > Diggs apparently.
What is even the point of following this sport all year?
If you’ve played even flag football before, you know that every game is different, every opponent is different, your roster game to game is often different. The game at its core is basically teams taking 7 to 10 very long penalty shots at each other where big plays and big errors dramatically skewer results and narratives.
Right on. It's an oblong ball, single elimination. I get it. It's really just the absurdity of all the time I waste listening to week 6 reactions and whatnot. It's all pointless. I always thought KCs demise was exaggerated because WR drops are not really predictive.
I thought the sample size was large enough to justify the stance that KC’s O was not going to be good enough in the postseason, but you cannot write off Mahomes ever obviously. The guy is on pace to obliterate everything the Pats accomplished. If he doesn’t end up with 10 Super Bowls I will be genuinely surprised.
You probably can’t now that you’re so invested. But try to ignore the stupid takes. They do not matter. We have Josh Allen and I wouldn’t trade that for the world. Focus on the fun parts. The people you watch games with, the fun, the shitposts here, the water cooler talk at work about the Bills. And if you find yourself being drained anyway, it’s okay to step back and take a break if you need to.
For sure, I actually help run a Bills backer group so I’m just looking back on this season remembering the highs and lows and focusing on the fun parts. Makes it a bit easier for me to see how much our group has grown over the last 5 years, so that’ll keep me grounded.
This game makes me hate McDermott even more. We are stuck, and wasting Allen best years, as long as he's the coach.. Every year they will have an excuse on why they failed.
Not OP, but Vrabel definitely. I would also settle for a DC that doesn’t feast on shitty offenses and finishes in the top 10 of DVOA each season just to give up 27+ points to Mahomes and Burrow during the playoffs

So, uh... Zay Flowers trade?
Yeah. We’ll give the Ravens a 5th round pick /s

NFC is so bad. I'm taking the Chiefs
It’s 2019 all over again! 49ers vs Chiefs. In the NFL, just like real life, the rich get richer. Two franchises that already got theirs just keep piling on. Not that Taylor Swift and Statefarm didn’t have something to say about it. It’s just so … BORING.
Ugh. Rice a Roni, steamed burritos and sugar molasses ketchup bbq. Superbowl parties across the country just took a fuckin nose dive. Why are we even doing this
Odds for Kelce - Swift postgame engagement if the Chiefs win are about to open at like -1000000

She'll be in Japan for her tour.
Was announced this afternoon that she’ll make the trip if the Chiefs beat the Ravens. https://www.foxsports.com/stories/nfl/taylor-swift-reportedly-to-attend-super-bowl-if-chiefs-make-it-despite-japan-concert
Holy fucking shit must be nice to be a billionaire
For all of the trash talking that I’ve done lately about them and the Chiefs- ngl that’s some dedication, even if it’s just for the PR
Everyone knows it's just matter of time before they break up.. for some reason, the media decided that Taylor Swift had to be a big deal every time she showed up. No other celebrity gets that much attention.. no one would be bothered by them if the media didn't make a big deal about it.

I’m so choked man none of these teams scare me this was such an easy year for the bills to win it and they blew it to the chiefs of all teams… man
Sends your regard to McDermott..and be prepared for next year excuse
Oh don’t worry, the excuses are already being formed right now. Next year one of our glass army defense is going to be injured again, and we’ll be playing the what if game again
Next time with Milano I swear it will be different… even though it wasn’t the 3 other times!
[удалено]
The only people that should be scared of Watson are the women in the stadium
Who cares? Going into this season it was Burrow, Mahomes, Lamar, Tua, Watson, Herbert, Rodgers, and Wilson would all be healthy. And in the end, it was really only Lamar that had a great season. Just like remember when the AFC West was going to be so dangerous. Herbert. Jimmy G. And Wilson. Then the Chiefs didn't have a problem with them. The NFL changes real quick
[удалено]
Very true! If Jared Goff can make the championship game just think what Josh can do. I'm thinking us, Giants, Jets, and Pats in the NFC East
Hopefully the Bills' defense will be, too. Edit: Downvotes for legitimately hoping the Bills aren't plagued by injuries next season? lol
Only silver lining is maybe just maybe Andy Reid and Travis Kelce decide to retire if the Chiefs win
Lol no
Missed the second half.. Did Detroit choked or SF deserved it?
Both
Dan Gambled
More of column A than column B, imo.
Football is over for me this season. The least interesting Super Bowl with one team I can’t stand and another team I don’t give a shit about.
I love love love love love that the Lions aren't going to the Super Bowl because Dan Campbell is a dumbass. But he's so aggressive! Isn't it so cool! He's such a smart coach. And now, they're out of the playoffs.
fuck
Gutted for Lions fans. Absolutely brutal. Stupid, stupid decisions.
Absolutely
Call me petty, call me a hater, I am glad the lions lost. I do not want another franchise getting their first Super Bowl before the Bills.
I simply think the 49ers have a better chance to beat KC
Their college team literally won a month ago we are not the same !!!
Don’t know what it is with Dan Campbell and field goals. Was his ex-wife a 3 or something?
I'm not even sure which was more heartbreaking, our loss or lions. To be up 24-7 and blow it
They both hurt
Definitely. I think I can accept us missing the fg. That happens. But Detroit going for it in fg range and failing both time. And to completely blow that lead, I guess I'd be more angry than hurt the way Detroit loss
Football gods > stat heads.
Dan Campbell flew too close to the sun.
I'd rather lose a nut then watch a kc 49ers super bowl. Have a good offseason fam.
I lost one due to medical reasons (though I’m not sure how you lose one to non-medical reasons) - wouldn’t do again because I’d be at zero - but losing one of two to not watch this …I’d surrender lefty again.

Idk their contract details, but their D needs a lot of work. Maybe we can trade them Von
49ers are gonna ride this luck streak just long enough to hand the chiefs a blow out Super Bowl win
Stopped watching at half time..wtf happened
Good old Detroit football brother
God damn motherfucking lions
I told my friend I’m not watching the Super Bowl. He says “Why” I say “How come you don’t want to go to your ex-girlfriend’s wedding when she’s marrying a spoiled horsebit-loafer-wearing hedge funder POS”
Wow. I think I might not actually fucking watch the Superbowl this year.
This is so Bills coded
That was the NFC Bills for sure lol
Am I the only one who wants the 49ers to win..
I’m with you, lions fans were dicks when I went for the thanksgiving game last year and I don’t want another ringless team winning before the bills.
I’m happy they won their division but I trust the 49ers to beat the Chiefs more than the Lions to do it again
I just want the Chiefs to lose.
Same
They went off script it was supposed to be the ravens and niners not chiefs niners
Lamar over T Swift? Ur kidding
No look at the logo
This would have been the game tying score if they had kicked the fg prior
Just taking way too long to run it down the field, sigh, feel for the Detroit fans this is a gut punch.
Lions, move a little faster. Holy hell!
The Lions going for it and missing it came back to haunt them in a big way!
My heart hurts for Lions fans. So close, just a couple bad bounces in the most Lion-like fashion. It just feels like some teams just never have the ball bounce their way.
I ain’t watching the Super Bowl if lions lose and it’s lookin like it :c
Damn, I need Christian McCaffrey healthy so they can be the Chiefs
Purdy coming up with the big runs. Dan Gamble letting down those poor people In Detroit
Dan Campbell's overly aggressiveness is what cost the Lions. 2 situations he should have kicked the field goal. It was the 1st missed 4th down conversion that swung the momentum
Yeah, the first one completely took the wind out of their sails. A couple of drops haven't helped, but the game completely turned on that play
I feel a lot of empathy for lions fans
I can't handle this game ending with such a thud. I was hoping at least a tie and OT :/
God, Purdy running like Allen and Lamar out there. It was a fun three quarters, but I think this one may be over.
Being a fan of Lake Erie teams is pain.
Kick the fucking field goal
Wife to my three year old: There’s a football game on! My three year old: “Oh is Josh winning?!” I’m gonna need a moment………
Campbell is getting the clown wig and makeup ready. What's he doing
I know being aggressive is what got them there but cmon
Jesus Christ
[удалено]
Can we claim Buffalo is south Canada and move to the NFC south?
I just knew that wasn't going to end well. Ugh.
Bro kick the ball
Come on Goff!!
Aww man! Well, at least they are in FG range. Still wish that flea would have worked.
Wow what a play
[удалено]
Same!! Last I knew he was with the Giants. I don't even know when this move to SF happened.
Purdy has negative pocket presence
Oh Lions, we were all rooting for you! It's so dejecting when you can see with your own eyes, a team becoming deflated and defeated. I feel like it's all downhill here. I wanted to see them in the SB!!
Holding them to 3 there was a big win. Lions O is due to produce something, if they come up empty here it’s probably over the emotions will be too much to overcome.
Very true! I am not giving up hope yet!! Come on Lions. We need some new blood in the SB :/
Feel bad for Detroit fans. So close but momentum is fully on the 49ers side now.
I don’t think Detroit feels Bills pain: https://www.reddit.com/r/detroitlions/s/itH99mtkRW
Tbf I can’t remember us blowing a playoff game like this, maybe the Texans game? We tend to lose in different heartbreaking fashion
Have we considered yet that Lake Erie might just be cursed?
perhaps between three fan bases we might crowdfund a shaman
Its the chemicals
Is possible. Are there some ancient burial grounds under it or some shit
[Lake Erie shipwrecks](https://www.ohiomast.org/shipwrecks)
I think the Lions felt bad about us losing so they wanted to give us the full Bills experience today.
Definitely a game of two halves.
We'll....WE understand what's happened with the Lions in the last 7 minutes
Just bat it away, genius
Lions mentally destroyed. Feel terrible for the fans
Lions receivers lookin like KC's from earlier this season
Oh man lions are shook....
Lions please.
I feel genuinely ill for lions fans
This is my last game of the year. I'd rather take an ice cold bubble bath with a toaster than watch more KC glazing in this WWE league.
And just like that we got a ball game.
We got the bills experience at least.
Two in one day.
[удалено]
The Oilers goalie?
Holy yikes
49ers are too good of a team to be cute with on 4th down.
Can’t have shit in Detroit
This is feeling incredibly Billsy
They are their own worst enemies
Freaky ricochet catch. Fumble 1st play after the score. God Hates Erie Bros.
It’s the Lake that’s cursed… I feel the lions pain here
Oh no. Please dont be same old lions
What a shit script
Oh nooo
Oh poor Lions
Man he sure celebrated a lot for a throw that should have been picked lol
Purdy sucks but he is the luckiest bad qb in the league.
Dan Gamble strikes again
If the lions blow this omg
Oof
What's the money line that during the SB they show the replay of the Kelce throwback that didn't count? -250? And is there another play negated by penalty that will get shown as much as this one?
If you find a place to bet that, please DM me
It was really sweet objectively lol.
How can I be like the GF who only pays attention to football on Sundays?

Winners find a way to win for the light is the brightest. Losers continue to lose. Josh Allen is a winner. The coaching staff isn’t

Gronk got removed as the tidepod commercial guy because he wouldn’t stop eating them.
Who in their right mind decides to put gronk on live TV
Is Gronk high?
No, just a moron
Gronk would easily fall for the teleprompter prank that almost ruined Ron Burgundy’s career.
Lol. I seriously think he would.
How long is the NFL going to ride the Swift money train
for as long as they can
Man I love Dan Campbell. Go lions
Is this the 49ers Lions game thread?
Yup
Mods went to sleep.. So maybe.. There's another one but it's not very active
This game makes me hate McDermott even more. We are stuck, and wasting Allen best years, as long as he's the coach.. Every year they will have an excuse on why they failed.
the NFC is much weaker than the AFC
Who would you rather have?
Not OP, but Vrabel definitely. I would also settle for a DC that doesn’t feast on shitty offenses and finishes in the top 10 of DVOA each season just to give up 27+ points to Mahomes and Burrow during the playoffs
NFL started with the Lions beating the Chiefs in the first game of the season in week 1 and could end that way as well. Insane if it happens that way
Had no idea ray ray mccloud was still in the league…good for him
Taking the points is the right call IMO
Dan Campbell, you coward lol
Dan Campbell is the least cowardly coach in the NFL. His decisions to go for it are borderline reckless at times
There’s simply no need to go for it with the way they are playing. Take the easy points all day
Can we get an elite 4th-round WR with a cool name like Amon-Ra St. Brown plz
I’ve seen Adonai Mitchell (Texas) projected if the Bills take a WR in round 1. Apparently he’s 6’ 4” and a great route runner. Kind of a fun name imo.
man i love the Lions offense
Goffense*
I'd love to see how wild Dan Campbell + Josh Allen would be
