Saturday Wild Card Games

[InPhiltraitor]

You thought Cleveland was standing in any team's way? Their defense is terrible and Flacco isn't digging up any of that 2012 magic where he played wayyyy over his head for that playoff run. He's Eli Manning 2.0.

That was a god awful pass on 1st down in Houston's territory. He just buried their team and lost the game.

It’s a match-up thing. Cleveland did win at M&T stadium this year, and AFC North teams have a tendency to play up/down to the level of AFC North opponents.

CJ Stroud is looking pretty good for the Texans.

 

[Rockport]

Better to stay a backup though. Had enough of the veteran QBs with the Testaverde/Blesdoe days. Prefer we keep them like Aikman years as a high profile backup, with a #3 in development.

Most definitely. They just didn’t have much choice.

 

[Carson]

So is Houston really this good or time and luck run out on Cleveland.

Little bit of both.

Felt Cleveland was a bit overrated and Texans underrated.

Amazing what one year can do

So is Houston really this good or time and luck run out on Cleveland.

The latter. Houston’s runs out of gas next week.

Is there such a thing as a negative qb rating cause flacco shoukd have one

 

[KJJ]

If Flacco can throw another pick-six he could have himself an NFL playoff record.

 

[StylisticS]

CJ Stroud is looking pretty good for the Texans.

He's going to be a good one and I like Ryans. The challenge for both is how they adjust to the league after every coach has 7 months to come up with a way to beat them.

So is Houston really this good or time and luck run out on Cleveland.

Both. Seen Cleveland's defense play much better than this. Houston young, and doesn't know anything about pressure. Even 49ers though, I think only dominant team in league is Baltimore and anyone else is shot to win.

 

[Fmart322]

Both QBs have great QBRs right now.
Flacco 139
Stroud 146

Strouds QBR is at 145
Flacco QBR is at 83.2

I can't believe he threw back to back pick6's

 

[jblaze2004]

Wow Joe looking terrible today after looking like a beast in the Browns playoff run. But what do you expect?

 

[ScipioCowboy]

To think, Cleveland was favored. And now I have nightmares of Love looking like Stroud tomorrow.

 

[StylisticS]

Cleveland has to get 2 scores without reply before the 10 minute mark of the 4th.

 

[StylisticS]

To think, Cleveland was favored. And now I have nightmares of Love looking like Stroud tomorrow.

The threat is there but Houston defense is winning this just as much as Stroud.

 

[Fmart322]

Is there such a thing as a negative qb rating cause flacco shoukd have one

I'm surprised his ratings is at 84

 

[Silverz1972]

Have to take some shots to amari.

 

[nyc-cowboy]

I dont get "the hate" for Flacco - the guy was done a few YEARS ago - was 38 and sitting on his couch - Clev went through what 3-4 QBs, what exactly were you guys expecting...

 

[Shane612]

Flacco was playing well until today.

 

[VaqueroTD]

Have to take some shots to amari.

Looks like H-Town's strategy all night is to double Coop and not let him beat them.

 

[IceStar-D7]

I hope the "other" Texas team score vs their opponent. Is even higher this time tomorrow. in Their favor-let's say 38-10 going into the 4th....
