I still have concerns about Payton and his play calling and clock management but the Donks are well ahead of schedule at least as I saw their trajectory unfolding. Obviously the Bills are a tough draw but that’s self inflicted and at worst this is great experience for the team.

Think I'll be cheering for the Lions this playoff season, but Bengals allegiance aside, Ravens are by far my fave AFC team in the hunt this year

[Jett129]

I’ll be rooting for The Lions as well,unless they’re playing The Chiefs in the Super Bowl.

@mclaincausey I’m with you on Sean Peyton’s decision making and clock management. Feels like watching Hackett coach a lot of the time. Dude is supposed to have tons of experience and be elite. Call the freaking timeout with 20 seconds left in the half on the 15 yard line. WTF!?

[mclaincausey]

Yeah man it’s really weird. I also think he needs to uncork Nix’s arm a bit.

But I didn’t expect a playoff appearance yet so what do I know. There’s no debating the clock management gaffes though.

FYI… Baltimore post season rules currently in place. @Oaktavia and I will not be using the “P” word or the “S” word. We will be referring to these games as Festivus and (God willing) Festivus Maximus.

Happy Festivus everyine.

Seems like y’all are taking on a lot of unnecessary pressure for the outcome there by policing your speech. Seems easier to just bet against your team

[Oaktavia]

@Matt BIG TRUZZ woo woo

[Oaktavia]

@mclaincausey when you lose the AFC championship game last go around you get a little tweaky

[mclaincausey]

@Oaktavia that had a lot more to do with the failures of John Harbaugh’s offensive strategy than anything anyone did on social media. Take it easy on yourself

[Tago Mago]

@mclaincausey I'm pretty sure @Matt said Playoffs or Super Bowl at some point and that’s why the entire season went down the toilet

[Oaktavia]

@mclaincausey yes indeed

[Matt]

@Tago-Mago it’s possible. I’m all business this year.

[Oaktavia]

@Tago-Mago that's funny because I thought he was referring to Pittsburgh and Steelers

[Tago Mago]

@Oaktavia having checked the matchups and knowing the rivalry your interpretation makes more sense

[mclaincausey]

Broncos > Bills > Ravens is what I’m pulling for in the AFC, so I will very possibly be cheering the Ravens again as I did last year.

I struggle between Detroit and Minnesota in the NFC

Bills vs either of them would be amazing because someone would have to finally win. MN would kind of be cool just because of the mutual Super Bowl futility of those two franchises.

[Jett129]

I think The Chargers can beat The Texans,and that there's no pressure on Denver to win/no one expects them to win this game(House Money),and sometimes while it's nice to play at home,there's a lot more pressure on both Buffalo and The Ravens to finally close the deal this year. I don't think The Steelers can beat The Ravens. In the NFC the only team I feel pretty confident in is The Eagles.

[mclaincausey]

Mostly agreed, but I’d say Lions over Eagles with very little confidence.

@Alex Lamar is such a wild card. Been fun to watch Balt this year
