Proverbs 13:4 NKJV

I’ll say it again. One of the things that makes the playoffs exciting is home field advantage for crappy teams in crappy divisions. It’s fun watching them need to face better opponents at home. More upsets, more unpredictability, more intrigue. It is perfect as is

[Jonathan Jones @jjones9]

The Detroit Lions have proposed a rule change that will "allow Wild Card teams to be seeded higher than Division Champions if the Wild Card team has a better regular season record." More on that below from January

[Matthew Van Ness @Mattvanness1]

Get better defenses or learn to exploit it yourself instead of whining about it

[Adam Schefter @AdamSchefter]

Packers officially are proposing to ban the Tush Push.

@PlutoCooked If Pat gets 8 rings and more playoff wins there is a 0% chance there’s not a goat debate

[Matthew Van Ness @Mattvanness1]

Someone just discovered what sports is for the first time

[Dave Portnoy @stoolpresidente]

If Dalton Kinkade doesn’t drop this it will go down as one of the greatest passes/plays in the history of the NFL. Instead the narrative is 0-4 vs Maholmes. What a cruel twist of fate

[Matthew Van Ness @Mattvanness1]

It’d be difficult to convince me not one molecule of the football is between these lines, but it’s definitely way closer than people are pretending it is

[Matthew Van Ness @Mattvanness1]

Like, I bet throughout the beginning of the Pats dynasty people were thinking “well at least the Cowboys weren’t such and such” and during the early 90s they were thinking “well at least the 49ers weren’t so and so”

[Matthew Van Ness @Mattvanness1]

I suspect this notion is only getting popular because so many zoomers grew up liking the Pats and Brady because they kept winning. Now, with fully developed brains, they see a new dynasty doing exactly the same thing and they hate it the way everyone else did back then

[Dean Straka @DWStraka49]

I speak for every American outside of Kansas City in apologizing to the New England Patriots and their fans.

Your dynasty really wasn’t all that insufferable compared to this.

[Matthew Van Ness @Mattvanness1]

The NFL is so scripted they scripted the least interesting possible Super Bowl matchup

[WyattzWorld @WyattzWorId]

This’ll be the lowest viewed superbowl in NFL history.

But hey, atleast Roger is happy

[Matthew Van Ness @Mattvanness1]

It’s baffling to see people unironically try to say this after 20 years of “The refs are Patriots fans”

[nathansgamingworld @nathansGworld]

@NFL @Chiefs Brady never had refs to help him

[Matthew Van Ness @Mattvanness1]

@SavageSports_ Someone doesn’t remember the Pats

[Matthew Van Ness @Mattvanness1]

The Browns, Dolphins, and Cowboys haven’t been to a championship game since before the Texans existed

[Matthew Van Ness @Mattvanness1]

Brady just owes him for that Super Bowl he gifted him

[NFL @NFL]

Raiders to hire Pete Carroll as head coach. (via @rapsheet & @TomPelissero)

@JamesRoyNFL AFC South: Buns
AFC West: had 3 teams in the playoffs
AFC Division leaders: all made it to the divisional
NFC West: all contending for playoffs at one point (though mid over all), one representative in divisional
NFC South leader: made it to the playoffs and almost advanced

[Matthew Van Ness @Mattvanness1]

@KenWo4LiFe @ZevraDH @NFL_DovKleiman True, but the point is that the outcome of the game can be blamed mostly on the Lions’ failures than the Commander’s success

[Matthew Van Ness @Mattvanness1]

@ZevraDH @NFL_DovKleiman I’d say that’s about right, though the Texans game had more to do with defensive failures, special teams gaffs, O line issues, and red zone stalls than the refs. Even though they had some good drives the blame for losing a winnable game still falls at the Texans feet

[Matthew Van Ness @Mattvanness1]

@BrettM41089 @_MLFootball @tootgail @jkbtjc_53 @lexiosborne @bturner23 @AllChiefdUp @BradHensonPro @ChiefsFocus @theonlydyl_ @chiefs_outsider @chiefshive The fact that Brady is not widely remembered this way currently already disproved this

[Matthew Van Ness @Mattvanness1]

Honestly probably more accurate than the inverse map. Way more normies like winners than people on the internet like to believe

[Barstool KCMO @stoolkansascity]

Who America is rooting for in the AFC Championship:

[Matthew Van Ness @Mattvanness1]

@theABinKC People definitely did say this before the season…

[Matthew Van Ness @Mattvanness1]

People out here pretending this cost the Ravens the game as if Josh Allen didn’t have 1:30 to get the ball into field goal range… High probability of a Bills win regardless

[Ari Meirov @MySportsUpdate]

Feel awful for Mark Andrews.

[IcyVert @IcyVert]

NFL is funny cuz the NFC is two different teams every year and the AFC is just the Bills and Chiefs
