2023 Conference Championship Round Thread
 

The 2 best teams in each conference made it to the championship round.

I am excited about this Sunday. This should just be a damn good day to watch football.

If Burrow beats Mahomes again in the playoffs to reach the Super Bowl, that's really going to be something. Both those guys are absolute studs. Both those teams are lucky. They'll be competitive for at least another 5 years just by having those guys. Whoever wins that game has my Super Bowl vote.

If its 49ers vs. Bengals/Chiefs, it will be a good weekend.

Mahomes has an high ankle sprain I doubt he plays.

I’m pulling for the Bengals and San Fran matchup in the Super Bowl

Bengals need to sign Vontaze Burfict this week to come in and rip off Mahomes leg first play of the game

He'll play. He may not practice all week, but he'll play.

Still I think the Bengals are too strong all round, especially their D, and they'll come out on top.

I'm hoping the 49ers win for multiple reasons. Depends on Purdy. Had a poor game but key was he avoided turnovers. Their D will likely put them in position to win, but it'll be up to Purdy to put points on the board. Eagles won't be poor like the Cowboys.

Let's go 49ers and I don't care who wins the AFC - I like both teams.

If Mahomes plays he's one tough SOB - we'll see if Reid keeps a short leash on him if he can't play at his normal high level.

We are all finally in agreement on this board together:

Eagles lose Niners Win

Yup, fully agree.

IF the Eagles can shutdown the 49ers running game, its all over. That will leave Purdy having to win it.
The Eagles lead the NFL with 70 sacks this season, the second place team has 55 sacks. Not even close.
Plus the Eagles secondary is no joke. The Eagles defense is as good as the 49er defense.
The Eagles offense with Hurts back and their physical run game, I rate higher than Purdy against the Eagles defense. Plus an east coast game could be potentially cold game.
It will be a good game. But I think Eagles will win.

You gotta run it to win against the Eagles. You are right, once you go one dimensional with the pass…they are able to get to the QB and bad things happen.

Hurts is a different QB this year, he’s really put it together. It will be tough for the 49ers

“He’s one of the better tackles but that’s what I look for is best on best,” Parsons said. “So I want Trent’s best game ever, and he’s going to get my best game ever.”

“The bigger the stage, the bigger the player, right?” Parsons said.

Early in the 1Q he pulled to the way inside, like other side of the box so fast. Never seen a tackle asked to pull/move that far over to the inside.

Big boy moves

Parsons talks a lot but I dont mind it, hes a really good player, motivated but even Cowboys fans will agree hes not the second coming of Lawrence Taylor like they thought

Re: 2023 Conference Championship Round Thread
 

Parsons has just finished his 2nd season. Its a little early to define his career either way. Anyway the Cowgirls are out of it, so why are we even discussing them in a conference championship thread? Though i do like the memes doing the rounds this week😁

Have to say, both games are hard to call. I'm sticking with 49ers v Bengals in the SB, but you can't write off any of the 4. If the Eagles D snuffs out the 49ers running game I'm not sure Purdy can carry the O on his shoulders, but Shanny will have that O prepped to the max so I'd still lean towards them winning.

Bengals D is the difference in the AFC. If I had to bet, I'd back them to shut Mahomes down especially if his ankle is a weakness. I think that sets up a possibly great SB regardless of which NFC team wins.

Agreed, as much as I'd hate to the a division rival back to the SB so soon, I think the Eagles have a very complete roster, that D was hitting hard on every level last week. The niners have enough weapons that I'd not be surprised if they win either. Both conf finals should be good games!

So far no one crowned the next "LT" has been close to being the next LT

Re: 2023 Conference Championship Round Thread
 

The LT talk was premature, just like the CY bust talk is.
