The Playoff Thread

Has there ever been a Wild card round with that many one sided beat down games ? Well I know this is only the second year with 6 WC games, but still... 4 out of 6 were completely one sided...

2016 season - all 4 were 2+ score wins.

I'd say the problem here was maybe expectation vs reality. NE and AZ somewhat surprisingly rolled over, Dallas didn't turn up until too late, while Pitt and Philly were what we expected. The only game that was closer than many expected was LV v Cincy, and to be fair had Cincy got TDs instead of FGs, that would have gone as expected.

in the 'old days' you had 12 of 32 teams in the playoffs. The WC's were teams that were almost division champs in some cases. Now you have teams like 49ers (no disrespect to them) that finished 3rd in their division. More teams in the playoffs = more likelihood of mismatches.

love it

F Dallas

Lol:

Dak Prescott was disappointed when told of fans throwing bottles at Cowboys players, but when he was told they were aiming at the refs, Dak responded:

“Credit to them.”

Lost some respect for him on that. And all the trash in the room that laughed at his comment too. F them.

Mostly due to media fawning over some teams, especially Dallas. But it was obvious that Phili and Pittsburgh weren't all that good and NE had a rookie QB

Nothing but truth right here

@AlGaldi

Dallas remains with a mere three playoff wins since the start of the 1997 season. No team in sports over the last 25 years has a greater ratio of media coverage/hype to actual postseason achievement than the Cowboys.

Media keeps saying how many star players Dallas has, but to my mind star players are those that perform when the chips are down like in the playoffs. They have just a group of very well paid players

I was really surprised by a lot of things that game. It made me thankful to have a guy like Ron running the show…the complete undisciplined penalties by the Cowboys, mismanagement of game situation (how do you get a delay of game after a successful fake punt?), trash throwing, the Cowboys whining after the game…

The Cowboys aren’t close and with that shitshow Sunday proves it.

Also, Dak isn’t elite and is closer to Cousins as a QB than Watson, Allen, Rogers

yeah the scramble at the end was a boneheaded Cousins type of play for sure, he needed to go down about 5 yards earlier

They never should have ran the play in the first place. You have two plays throw the ball in the end zone twice. McCarthy is a bum.

Other then being the coach of the Cowboys and getting paid not sure why anyone w/ options would coach there. You have to take the job but you have to keep Jerry's in house offensive coordinator who may take your job.

He is truly a puppet head coach.
