Official Game Thread - Playoffs Week 2 - Commanders @ Lions

[clskinsfan]

we have made it this far and everyone agrees we have holes.

Exactly. We are building a dynasty. I want to see JD play across from Mahomes. We will see how special Mahomes really is then. JD IS special. Like VERY special.

Wonder if this result will get in the Eagles' heads as they prepare for tomorrow's game?

 

[Iraolaball]

we are playing with a team full of mercs. Our roster is made up of the leagues leftovers

The Replacements!

Yeah and it was disappointing watching Mahomes flop his way to victory today. Some really bad calls against the Texans.

 

[RexTomb]

On one hand I was on the old board begging team to take big play Mikey.

On the other I didn't want Jayden necessarily and even made fun of people boosting him.

Evens out I'd say.

Me thinks one wish is not like the other...

Mahomes and Daniels get it done in very different ways, but they are similar in that mental toughness is the biggest contributor to their greatness.

It’s amazing that we have made it this far and everyone agrees we have holes. But we keep finding ways to win. I can’t wait for next week.

All teams have holes though.

The great teams mask those holes with elite play elsewhere. Washington does that.

 

[SkinsFTW]

Yeah, Dan Campbell is the real deal. I am amazed that we beat their far superior team. They were ready, rested, but just couldn't compete.

A QB like Daniels just can't be denied apparently. I mean, the QB is just worth so much more whenever you have one of the top 2-3 guys, and we do. It's not even questionable. Right now it's Mahomes, Allen, Daniels, Burrow. Lamar Jackson isn't one of those guys. We are going to have a good run.

 

[SkinsNumberOne]

I think we need to score at least 30 to win this one...
On D, we need interior pressure on Goff. collapse the pocket and move him off his spot.

Nailed both of these! I thought they should sniff a stupid Big BJ gadget play out. I hoped I posted it, but I see I did not. You did, nicely done!

Yes. I respect Mahomes as a qb. But the flopping when he was running out of bounds was crap. The two roughing the passer calls were crap as well. I was pulling for the Texans to get the upset.

 

[36ST21]

Luvu put an absolute killshot on Goff. I hope Sean Taylor was watching from upstairs.

 

[RandyHolt]

Holy shit...I lost grip and ended up with a whole glass of tea in my bed

Love those odd story mattress stains lol

i know. he did it 3 times and got the call twice for 1st on 3rd.

hardly goat material

 

[Chris]

Love Mikey but that isn’t even close.

 

[SkinsGuy99]

What a game.

What a team.

The magical season continues.

Onto the NFC Championship Game!!!!

 

[Gooseneck]

Gibbs was such a class guy as well as being one of the best coaches all time.

Yep and I feel he does it more and more as his career goes on. He doesn’t need to do that crap to win.

Exactly. All teams have holes. When contracts come up, the best GMs have to figure out a new recipe to win, because the old recipe won't work. The economics don't work, because players will be ready to make more money due to the notoriety.

The coaching today was phenomenal. I have nothing to say about Kliff's playcalling. I mean, you can have a flub sometimes (the Mariota flub made me nervous, BRob looked like he screwed that play up, and many of us have been clamoring for a different look like CRod or something). However, the run calls, the pass calls, the timing... combined with Jayden's ability to beat the blitz...

These coaches picked a good time to bring their A-game. I think they held back just a smidge towards the end of the season. They had a couple of wrinkles that looked new today, or at least very rarely run.

Hope Ron was watching.
