Hey don't tempt me with a good ball busting LOL.

But yea despite my teams loss, we've got see some good football being played down the stretch. Besides Stroud being dog shit of course. Two awful playoff games from him (which I'm not mad at, fuck the tinhorns) but the games were still fun to watch.

Still got a couple more left and of course they're still extra meaningful for you boys.


NFC championship should be a great game too. There is bad blood between those teams.

I'm a pretty upset about the Nix injury, just because from the beginning of the playoffs I just wanted the best teams to win so we get good football. My buddy was telling me he wanted the bills to win so we got a home berth and like, I genuinely just want to beat the top contenders. Fuck I love football

E/ also grats on the season. Much improvement from the years past and the building blocks are certainly there


On your edited, yea we've had this a couple times in 2017 and 2022, but this one just feels different. Tough loss, and hoping it's not just another splash in the pan, but man it really feels different this time. We shall find out, but like us with TLaw, if you got the right QB you're going to have success. You guys look like you just might have it with Maye as well.

The Nix injury sucks. Always want to see the best players on the field, but that's the game. Hurts them, helps you guys. But also you never know when a back up QB gets the start. They can have a game or two of their lives that nobody seen coming.

Hopefully. He's shown some insane stuff so far. He's still young so hopefully he progresses in a good way.

Yeah I mean, it's obv devastating for anyone to lose their starting QB. Theoretically if Team A and Team b play each other and Team A loses their starting QB, I'd expect Team B to win almost every time.

Yet at the same time, Denver (Sean Payton's offense) has a very qb friendly system for qbs and wideouts alike. Nix made some heroics this season but he does habe a LOT of in timing, in system throws. Not saying he's a system qb, just saying that Stid could have success in the same system. People are acting like we've already won this game -_-

Like, I get it, but Denver is a tough place to play and they have a great team.

100%. Even though Lawrence has been in the League 5 years, he just turned 26 years old in October. He's still young as fuck in the big picture of things. Maye is obviously a few years younger at what 23? or so right now. Very young.

Payton will have that Denver team ready and they lived off of their Defense for a majority of the year. Don't get me wrong, Nix and that Offense absolutely made plays, but their Defense was and is their strong point.

When we played them late in the season, that crowd was so loud it had the TV cameras shaking from all of the vibrations. A Defense doesn't cook up nearly 70 sacks in a single season for no reason. They're coming. Should be a good one despite the loss of Nix.

Yeah I'm with you across the board. We gotta show up and play our best game of the season. I'm hopeful we can get this one done. I actually think we line up v well against the NFC teams personnel-wise if we can pull this one off.

1 game at a time brother, 1 game at a time. As they say, 1-0 every week.

Although like I said, I got no dogs in this fight, or any other fight left, so I hope they all lose LOL :)
