Saturday NFL Playoff Thread (and BBQ/Beverage, if you prefer)
Mates,
The Cincy/Tennessee game just kicked off on CBS. San Francisco @ Green Bay at 8:15 on Fox.
Curious to see the impact of Derrick Henry coming back for the Titans and the injury condition of the 49'ers who lost a few people last week.
Snow up north, pretty windy, you know, winter. BBQ will be some venison back strap.
Go Blue, have a fine Saturday evening

I want to see Buffalo beat Cincinnati in AFC CHAMPIONSHIP GAME.
January 22nd, 2022 at 5:52 PM ^
A classic Tecmo Super Bowl era matchup
January 22nd, 2022 at 7:53 PM ^
You're going to get your wish.
January 22nd, 2022 at 8:58 PM ^
As a Bills fan, I fully endorse this.
January 22nd, 2022 at 4:52 PM ^
Date night with the wife. Hitting a new local BBQ place then a brewery that has board games & live music.
January 22nd, 2022 at 5:33 PM ^
Sounds like a great night
January 22nd, 2022 at 4:53 PM ^
Pulling for the 49ers and Bengals today.
January 22nd, 2022 at 5:00 PM ^
This games been a little painful to watch so far
January 22nd, 2022 at 5:04 PM ^
Tacos el Cunado in Grand Rapids will be fixin' dinner tonight. White cheddar CheezIts until then. Traverse City Whiskey for sipping, water for drinking. Go Pack Go!
January 22nd, 2022 at 5:11 PM ^
OL play is rough in this game.
January 22nd, 2022 at 5:39 PM ^
Cincy's OL is going to get Burrow injured. No doubt what they'll be concentrating on in the draft
January 22nd, 2022 at 6:10 PM ^
They need to quit drafting OL from Ohio State, Prince is dogshit on his best days. Don’t get me started on Price or Jordan.
January 22nd, 2022 at 6:10 PM ^
A draft of nothing but O-linemen is arguably in order.
January 22nd, 2022 at 5:12 PM ^
XM, and you too.
January 22nd, 2022 at 5:16 PM ^
Cheering for Cincinnati & 49ers.. I really like chase, his speed is next level & and really dis like Green Bay.. Chili is on the menu today, pretty cold and dry here in central Indiana.
side note, not sure how far north you are but Headed to Paradise, Michigan in a few days for 5 days of fun in the snow. Seen -16 for a low next Tuesday. bur

Bells Best Brown
January 22nd, 2022 at 5:31 PM ^
Is that one of those seasonal releases?
January 22nd, 2022 at 5:57 PM ^
Yes, part of the fall lineup. An excellent beer?.
Started with a PBR, now sipping on some Blanton's. Grilling burgers and the Mgowife made her famous German potato salad ?
January 24th, 2022 at 10:18 AM ^
It is, XM. The interesting piece is that they have had it in the lineup for 25 or more years and chose to not brew it this year. After a robust moan, they changed course and late brewing commenced. It will be interesting to see how the future of the brewery proceeds with the latest sale.
January 22nd, 2022 at 5:38 PM ^
Joe Burrow is the best QB to ever be on an Ohio State roster.
January 22nd, 2022 at 5:40 PM ^
Funny.
Bengals got lucky on that fumble
January 22nd, 2022 at 5:41 PM ^
Jamar Chase. Right place, right time.
January 22nd, 2022 at 11:45 PM ^
Burrow and Chase on the same college roster at LSU. Throw in Justin Jefferson and Edwards-Helaire...and Joe Brady calling the plays. No wonder they were among the best college offenses ever.
January 22nd, 2022 at 5:46 PM ^
big sack
January 22nd, 2022 at 5:49 PM ^
Even if they win this game, which I think is possible because Tannehill is kinda bad, the Bengals OL is prohibitive at the moment. I don't think they can make it past the AFC championship and def cant win a super bowl without massive improvement at literally every position.
January 22nd, 2022 at 6:13 PM ^
I was so happy when they took Chase over Sewell, but yeah, probably just better draft/sign 6 or 7 new OL this off-season.
January 22nd, 2022 at 8:32 PM ^
I didn't watch the game, but the box score has nine (9) sacks of Burrow. Despite that he still had a better game than Tannehill. I don't see how they beat either the Bills or the Chiefs (unless the winner of that game has to start its backup, anyway).
January 22nd, 2022 at 5:56 PM ^
No bbq, just double mushroom pasta for my daughter before she heads back to school tomorrow. Rooting interests: San Francisco and Cincinnati.
January 22nd, 2022 at 6:01 PM ^
His body was possessed by Tyler Ecker
January 22nd, 2022 at 6:25 PM ^
TD bengals. outside zone right, cut back, and into the end zone.
January 22nd, 2022 at 6:27 PM ^
That was an impressive change of direction by Mixon on the TD.
January 22nd, 2022 at 6:30 PM ^
Holy shit, Hilton!
January 22nd, 2022 at 6:32 PM ^
but how about tannehill, chased him down instantly. i thought that would be a pick 6 and he didn't get 10 yds before tannehill had him by the neck.
January 22nd, 2022 at 6:37 PM ^
That was an impressive recovery by Tannehil.
January 22nd, 2022 at 6:34 PM ^
Ah XM! It’s good to see you REALLY back! The classic “Mates, What ya drinkin” thread…
Since you (kinda) asked, Bacardi and Coke Zero with lime. Or a Cuba Libre if you prefer.
Sitting in a hotel lobby bar for the last time before flying back to the USA. Covid testing complete. So I have no legit excuse to extend my stay in the sunshine any longer.
Whoever said “There’s no place like home” hadn’t spent a winter in the north! (No, Kansas isn’t a northern state!)
January 22nd, 2022 at 6:38 PM ^
football on in the lobby? what country are you in? we can alert homeland security....
January 22nd, 2022 at 6:42 PM ^
If they have Coke Zero in the bars, I don't trust their security.
January 22nd, 2022 at 7:11 PM ^
I never said the game was on! It’s actually tennis on the TV. Haven’t been watching. No futbol tonight in the DR.
As for Coke Zero (next comment) it SHOULD be Diet Pepsi because that’s a deal with Marriott (long back story). But none of the local stores have DP either? WTF? Saw it in an All-Inclusive I toured earlier today so I know it exists!
January 22nd, 2022 at 6:36 PM ^
Talk about a momentum killer for Tennessee. About to get back within one score and just like that a tipped ball goes for a pick.
They ought to consider themselves really fortunate that wasn’t returned to the house.
January 22nd, 2022 at 6:46 PM ^
Chris Evans, really solid return there.
January 22nd, 2022 at 6:47 PM ^
Chris Evans (YTCE) making an impact for Cincy!
January 22nd, 2022 at 6:49 PM ^
This is clearly a pick
January 22nd, 2022 at 6:49 PM ^
I think that is not a catch per the rule.
January 22nd, 2022 at 6:53 PM ^
i think that there was not quite enough to overrule the ruling on the field.
lewan false start, but there you go, titans tie it up.
January 22nd, 2022 at 6:51 PM ^
I dunno, I would have called that incomplete. Bookies in Vegas were on the call with NFL officials. ?
January 22nd, 2022 at 6:55 PM ^
What a sloppy game. Anyone doubt a turnover decides the game?
January 22nd, 2022 at 6:56 PM ^
Lol ? Trent Green crediting Tannehill for his ball placement before recognizing the amazing catch by AJ Brown backpedaling into the end zone. QB bias is strong with this one.
January 22nd, 2022 at 6:57 PM ^
That clearly was not an interception, he grabbed it off the ground.
January 22nd, 2022 at 7:02 PM ^
I'm not doing anything like that. I'm just thinking seriously about dropping everything and going into cattle breeding.
January 22nd, 2022 at 7:10 PM ^
You can't impregnate cattle.
