Divisional Round Playoff Games

[JackOfNoTrades]

Derrick Henry!!! Running for all the yards they need, catching passes and even throwing a TD pass.

Go Titans!

Now I don't feel so bad about the Patriots losing to the Titans. I'm officially rooting for them as well. If they can get past KC (I'm assuming the Texans are going to implode as usual), they can hang with any of the NFC teams.

QB's like LJ are always great at first. Everyone will say we've-never-seen-anything-like-this-guy. Then once they've played a year or two, teams learn how to contain their running abilities, and if they aren't a strong pocket passer, they quickly fade away.

i disagree. He just finished his second year and no one has been able to stop him. Even yesterday, despite the interceptions and the fumble, he had 130+ yards rushing. He got better after year one, I see no reason why he can’t get better after year two. The only thing I question with him is is he going to be able to stay healthy playing his style of football? That’s a big question mark.

Damn, that Titan's defense has the Raven's number. I think ultimately Kansas City is dodging a bullet.

With Baltimore's loss, KC looks like the favorite for the AFC. It will be an interesting game today.

You cant really learn to defeat a running QB if can throw the ball as well.
It's the dual threat that makes them tough to beat.
You lose a defender because you always have to keep a spy on them as well. And it's the ability to extend plays that makes them so dangerous.
I dont see how you "learn" to defend that you just have to try to defend it.

Chiefs game could be a mess. Been getting ice all night. Bout a quarter inch so far. Snow is supposed to start at some point and go all day.
The chiefs have a heated field so conditions could be sloppy.

Supposed to be around 38 come game time.
Cold but not overly so.
Though you're right about the heated field,sounds like it could be sloppy.
I really hate games like this,more injuries and you dont get to see the best out of either team.
I think all fields in the NFL should at the very least be roofed so the field doesnt turn into a quagmire. Dont care about the temp just the field condition.

All NFL games should be played outdoors. No more arena football.

The Super Bowl should be an annual event in Green Bay.

To each his own I guess.
Personally I dont care for a game thats decided by some dude slipping in the mud.

 

[Jarlaxle]

Leads to falling down in the mud
A hard surface leads to injuries

Uuuh no.
Slipping when you expect traction is far worse.
I'll take my Fathers word who was a NBA trainer for the Rockets and the head trainer for WSU over your opinion anyday.

OK
Bring him on here and I will listen

He's dead so ya better break out your Ouija board.
Him being the head of the NBA trainers association and in the NBA hall of fame puts his opinion far ahead of some dimwit leftist.

In which way qualifies him as an expert on sloppy field conditions in football?

I don’t care...I like watching a game in the snow or mud over a game indoors

If you dont believe me......
What injuries can result from poor playing field conditions? | Sports Injuries

Don't bother. RW posts nothing worth reading, he is essentially a human spambot with no redeeming qualities.

A well-designed field won't be muddy.

Then there are a lot of poorly designed fields out there.
There been talk about Arrowhead being sloppy today because the heaters in the field melted all the ice. I guess we'll see.

Fine the team $5,000,000 per game with poor field conditions. Each injured player due to said field conditions should double the fine, and cost the team a home game next season. (Three players hurt, that would be $40,000,000 and 11 road games.) Problem solved.

They should just roof the stadiums.
No need to close it in completely just cover the field.

New domed or covered stadiums should be prohibited in the NFL. All new stadiums should be open-air, and retractable roofs on existing stadiums should always be open. There should never be another playoff game in a dome. Either the open-air team gets the home game regardless of seeding, or in the case of two arena-football teams, it goes to a neutral site.

So how would northern teams fare in the 90 degree heat of the South in September?

 

[WinterBorn]

All games should be played in domes.

I want to see what the TEAMS can do. Not what the weather can do.

And bad weather effects some teams worse than others. Cold weather and rain hurts the passing game more than the running game.

The weather should not be a factor in any game.

I can tell you how. How many athletes have died due to cold weather? I can't think of any. Heat? Humidity? It kills some every year. Not "effects their play". It kills them graveyard dead.

Thats my take on it as well.
I hate it when field conditions dictate the winner.

They seem to manage in Miami. And Jacksonville. And Tampa. And San Diego. And LA. And Tennessee.

So...you must, then, be in favor of requiring all MLB teams to play in climate-controlled domes, then?
