Tua not looking good for Miami-Buffalo.

Lamar not looking good for Baltimore-Cincinnati.

I wouldn’t give either of these underdogs much chance of winning if they were healthy. It should be easy wins for Buffalo and Cincinnati either way.

Dallas really should beat Tampa Bay, but Washington last week gave them a beating. If Dallas loses, it will be because of Dak.

Tua is out, officially. That’s a damn shame.

I would like to make fun of the Cowboys for their pathetic play-off success since 1995 but then I remembered I'm a Steelers fan with no room to taunt anyone, not even really the browns...

...

I hope everyone has fun and enjoys the play-offs!

Sure you can. I'm not a Stillers fan, but from 1996, the Stillers have 17 playoff wins to Jerry's 4. Embrace the hate, feel it course through you. It's OK, because it's the Cowgirls.

Was discussing this over the holidays...sure Jerry and Jimmy was a massive clash of egos, but if Jerry could've channeled an inner Bob Kraft and let Jimmy have his glory while Jerry displayed the trophies, those Pokes teams were loaded and set for a decade of dominance just like the Stillers of the 70s. But since Jerry can't allow anyone to outshine Jerry, the Cowgirls are where they are. And that's just fine with me.

The Steelers have won two Super Bowls since the Cowboys last won a Super Bowl, in 1995. There’s no comparison. You can’t even taunt the Browns? You’re not trying.

The video I just tried to post is so disgusting the NFL won't even allow it on this website. Never seen that before. Wish I never saw the play in question.

Lamar did not practice yesterday, something like his 16th straight missed practice. If he doesn’t practice today, I wouldn’t think he will play. The Ravens are worthless without him.

Edit: Lamar did not practice today. No way he goes.

@LionJim , our former dean, Dr. Williams, is a big 49ers fan. And has informed me that there has been a change in this Saturday's pairings. Instead of the 49ers vs Seahawks, there are going to be 2 games ... 49ers vs TCU and Seattle vs Georgia.

Lamar is definitely out and did not practice. Its a knee issue but thats all I've heard.
Many don't like Lamar but he IS the Ravens offense. He has no WR's, a sometimes healthy RB, a good TE and Ronnie Stanley on the OL. Thats it.
I'm kind of indifferent to The Ravens, I don't dislike them like I did when Ray Lewis was there but IMO Lamar takes way too much crap for an offense that is not that talented and an OC (Greg Roman) thats probably on his way out.

I have no idea whats going on with Dallas and I don't care what Jerr said but if Dallas loses Mike McCarthy should be very worried.
That loss against Washington was BAD.

Strange thing about Lamar’s injury: I can’t find anything about the Ravens ruling him out. It’s Lamar himself saying he won’t play. I’m glad he’s not playing; I had flashbacks to RG3.

Oh, it’s been decided that a possible Buffalo-Kansas City playoff game would be played in Atlanta.

Edit: Tom scooped me. #bringbackthedeletebutton

Keyshawn was saying that the reason Dallas did so well with Cooper Rush was because they kept things simple and relied on the running game. With Dak back, they’re acting as if he’s Patrick Mahomes. Coaching.

Not playoff news but Washington is telling their OC interviewees that Howell will be the starting QB in 2023.

I gotta wonder how those candidates feel that, if they do take the job, such decisions have already been made without their input.

Definitely not a ravens fan but you are right about Lamar. Without him that team is not very good. I’m guessing that he’s done for the year unless they can somehow get to the AFC championship game and even then it might not happen. And then they’ll probably have to franchise him because they don’t want to give him a long-term contract especially now with this injury. my guess is that he’s playing for somebody else if not next year definitely the year after
