Official 2020 Other Playoff Games

I agree completely. I remember watching watching the Packers do this several years ago...maybe against Carolina? Tennessee? Anyway they got the ball scored in literally like 24 seconds...maybe three plays and left enough clock where the opposition dinked and dunked (Surprise) it's way to a score and left like 8 seconds left....that was an aha! moment for me....nice to have the ability to score fast if necessary but I'd want to ability to always dictate the flow of the game and using the clock to your advantage is critical...plus it helps your D get some rest
I think our current team, as ugly as it has been at moments, does this. It's why we beat the 'queens..( along with Cook making them one dimensional)

The idea that you can control how fast you score is an interesting one. Literally the inverse of the experience of most of the games.

Teams struggle to score period. How fast is a luxury.

PB, the power running game may be a result of Defenses being built to stop the prevalence of the passing game? Lighter faster D ends who can't take 4 quarters of punishment?

Agree. Not saying one can build a team to do this but it's a concept or philosophy I guess. Being able to control the tempo, flow whatever the word would be the ultimate. Burn off 3, 4, 5, 6 minutes at a time? Priceless.........but I realize you take what the D or scheme gives you...plus your personnel vs oppositions personnel....

Texans were 29th in the NFL this season in first quarter scoring. 14 pts in the first 5 minutes.

Oh absolutely. Teams are finding ways to run against lighter personnel and lighter boxes. Not just power running, but also the Packers current variety.

It was inevitable and good to see the adjustments.

You only get so many games against Andy Reid in the playoffs.

That guy is snakebite and walking proof that McCarthy isn't completely wrong that scheme isn't the only thing you need.

Did I see a graphic that said that the Chiefs have lost 8 of their last 9 playoff games at home. That's unbelievable.

Three TD lead in the first quarter for the Texans.

My brother is a Texans fan. I imagine he's sporting a huge boner right about now.

AFC is completely turned upside down these playoffs.

[beveaux1]

So far, two out of three teams with a first round bye have struggled out of the gate.

Missed the first 9 minutes. Score was 14-0 when I turned the game on. What happened?

Yeah I was thinking about this when I heard Hunter (Vikes DE) goes 255? I thought he was at least like Dr. Z...275 range.....anyway imagine having to tackle D Henry for four quarters when he's your same size/weight....no thanks....but this stuff is cyclical I guess...the schemes they run...

I don't picture my brother with a boner, but hey, whatever works in your family.

Two BAD special teams mistakes for 14 points.
