Wild Card Weekend TakeAways.

If You Were Hoping, Prepared To Get A Fresh Round Of Unique Matchups, With Several Possibly Once The Playoffs started, Then don't Look At The First Round of The NFL Playoffs. Only Two Team In This Year's Playoff Won't Face An Opponent They've Played At Some Point This Season. Those are The Two Number One Seeds Who Each Have A Bye. Otherwise, Bill-Dolphins, Jags-Bolts, Cincinnati-Baltimore, Bucs-Cowboys, Vikings-Giants, San Fransisco-Seattle Have All Played At least Once This Season(Obviously Division Foes) Play Twice. What's more, Only Two Of These matchups Happened In September. The Bengals Just Played The Ravens A Week Ago, So That Sense Of Knowing A Team Has Already Set Into The Neuron Like Clay Statue.

Nevertheless, Football Will Bring "Entertainment" Regardless, and I'll Have To Watch Regardless Unless I Think Kang The Conquerer Offer Me A shot At "Retrograding" My Last Three Years. Reboots Are Usually, If Not Always, A Lesser Product. The NFL, The Kings Of Content, doesn't have the power to author New laws On Viewership. Unless Something Unseen Happens, And The Unpredictable Never Happens In Sports, Right? 

Nevertheless, We'll Remember As If We Forgot Everything That Transpired. "The Regular Season, It's Over. Mike Evans Said To Them, "Now We Start Over 0-0."

Bucs Vs. Cowboys

The Season 2000 And … Where Are We Now 2022-23 Has Mark A Lot Of First Ignominious Milestones In Brady's Career. His First Season was Below 10 Or More Wins, and His First Season Finished With Losing As The Full Time Starter. He's Never Thrown So Many Passes And Had So Many Failed Attempts. 

He'd Never Lost To the Cowboys Until Today. During Some Of The Wildcard Weekend Games Run Extended, This One Couldn't End Sooner. Unless You're A Cowboys Fan. If You Are, That's Exactly What You Wanted To See. The Cowboys Shook Off A Slow Start And Rounded Into Focus Running Off Three Touchdown Drives Before Half, Including A Two Minute Drill That Put The Bolt Lock in The Door Before The Half Going Up 24-0 On A Bucs Team Struggling To Score. "it's Tough. In the Blink Of An Eye, It Was Like 12-0." Bucs Running Back Rachaad White Said To Reporters After The Game. 

That's How the Game felt. Two Gruff Drives Or So To Start The Game Then Takeoff(🕊). The Cowboys Threw Out A Couple Of Feelers, Maybe To Take Note Of How The Bucs Wanted To Play Things. A Veteran Laden Defense Such As Tampa's Lead By Spearheading Head Coach Like Todd Bowles, With Familiarity With The Team He Face, had Something A Card To Play. The Buccaneers Played More Man On The Back and Heavier Fronts To Clog The Cowboy's run, Lane. The Strategy Worked, For A While, The Cowboys Averaged Just 3.7 A Rush. Eventually, You Know Tony Pollard Would Find The Edge Of an Outside Zone Run And Collect 5.1 Per Rush Himself. Dak And Zeke Held The Running Game Back, But Dak Had His Arm Working Much Better. At Times Dak Used Both. 

After A Quick Buccaneers Punt, The Cowboys Went Into The Two Minute Drill And Caught The Bucs Napping. Down In The End Zone Dak Scrambles For Over Six Second Before Snapping a Pass Into The Back Of The end Zone To Dalton Shultz. That's A Five Man Route Concept The Vikings Might Want To Take A Look At For Future reference. 

Shultz Hit The Corner

The Cowboys Won The Game Within The game. The Mirco Adjustments, The Game-plan, Then Just Out Performing The Bucs Players. As Next Gen Stats Pointed Out, The Cowboys Attack The Bucs Downfield whenever The Bucs' Secondary Dropped Into Cover Deep zone. Tight End Dalton Shultz Hit The DB With A Double Move, Then Climbed Toward The Back Of The Endzone And Dak Found His Tight End. Shultz Finished With Two Scores. 

Dak Completed Another Just Incredible Pass To Micheal Gallop In The Back Of The End. The Ball Grazed The Hands Of Bucs Carlton Davis Before Micheal Gallop Secured the Pass And The Thorough Obliteration Of the Bucs. DAk Finished 25/33, 9.2 Per Throw, 4 Passing Touchdowns, And One On The Ground. Not Especially Known For His Legs, Dak's Mobility, He's Ability to Extend Plays Proved The Difference. He Picked Up A Crucial First Down With His Legs To Extend The Drive Before The Half. 

Ahead of The Game, Cowboys Star Wide Receiver Comment That This Team Has All The Ingredients. Riches At "Playmaker," The Team Just Has To Play Up To Their Ability, And Then A Rout Would Come On, On Monday The Cowboys Proved Him Right.  

Elsewhere A 45 Year Old Tom Brady Didn't Share Any Of The Mobile Qualities Of His Counterpart. He completed Just 53 percent of 66 pass attempts and 351 Yards. Brady Threw A Lame Duck Of An Interception On The First Trip To Red Zone That Most Set The Tone For The Passing Day. He'd never Thrown An Red Zone Interception Pick As A Buc Until A Miscommunication and A Missed Opportunity In The Back Of The End Zone, And He Nearly Dodges A Bullet Throwing Away A Dart In The Direction Of Cameron Brate. Whoever designs The Bucs Offense Should Get Jail Time For Calling Two Man Route Combinations Like That Near The End zone. The Bucs Were The First Team, To My Knowledge, To Run More Play Calls Than the Cowboys and Still Lose. I Don't Think The Bucs Lost Because Of Brady Or Got Dismantle In This Because Of Some Perceived Ineffectiveness. The Bucs Wide Receivers Probe Again Not Sure Handed. Each starter Recording Multiple Drops. Mike Evans AGain Couldn't Haul In A Gimme Touchdown At The End Of The Game. Julio Jones, Dropped Tom Brady's Final Pass, Of The Season, Perhaps. None Of The Bucs Off-season Moves On Offense Worked Out. Russell Gage Left With An Injury After Accomplishing Virtually Nothing For The Bucs.

Somehow The Bucs Showed Signs Of A Running game Against A Cowboys Run That's Usually Vulnerable. "it put a lot of pressure on us, and we couldn't make enough plays. It's how we played all year. Brady Said, "[We] weren't efficient in the passing game and not very good in the run game. It's hard to beat a good team like that." This Bucs Team, Organization Has Fallen To the Wayside Since The Abrupt Departure Of One Antonio brown, In My Opinion. The Quarterback, The Play Calling, The Over Heads, They're Not Moving In One Accord. The Brady Bucs Union Ended Way Before This season Ended and Off Season Started. Reflecting On The Bucs Season, A Season That Never Hit The Breaks on The Mudslide Of Disappointment. 

One More Trek On To Embarrassment Gassed Up On Some Glimmer Of Optimism That Never Came Through Full Swing, Bucs Coach Todd Bowles Had This To Say; "Obviously Not Good Enough Because It's Not Where We Want To Be….Like The Courage Like The Fight But We Have To Get Better In A Lot Of Areas."

 No Cowboys Victory, No Matter How Convincing, Passes Through Cyberspace Without Some Ignominious Kicker Bill Maher FAmously And Comically Missing 4/5 Extra Points. Dak Accounting For Five Touchdowns, But The Cowboys Registering Only 31 Points Looked So Awkward. in Some Plausibility, The Buccaneers Drew The Game Down To One Possession. Maybe Brady's Future Gets Discussed A Week Later. 

Dolphins Vs. Bills

Jerry Seinfeld: Well, here's your chance to try the opposite. Instead of tuna salad and being intimidated by women, chicken salad and going right up to them.

George Costanza: Yeah, I should do the opposite; I should.

Jerry Seinfeld: If every instinct you have is wrong, then the opposite would have to be correct. Could The Secret To The Dolphins Pulling Off The Grandest Upset Of The Playoff Weekend, Securing Their First Playoff Win In Over A Decade, All Come Down To An Innocuous Line In Of histrionic Advice. The Dolphins Don't Need T OnFollow Their Script, Just Go Against The Grain, Like Salmon. 

George Costanza: Yes, I will do the opposite. I used to sit here and do nothing and regret it for the rest of the day, so now I will do the opposite and do something! After Months Of Running Up The Score and Blowing By the Team But Struggling To Score Against The Jets, I Think, We're All Waiting For The Dolphins To Do Something Else, Do Something 

"You're Not Tricking Anybody Really. For The Most Part."—Mike McDaniels Understands, Once You're Playing The same Team For Third Few Months, You Recognize The Futility In Any Surprises Here. At Times Even With Dolphins Head Coach Mike McDaniels Standing Right At The Podium Delivering Delivering Notes To The Media, You Can Never Tell What He thinks As He Speaks. It's all Disjointed. Of Course, Everyone, From Politicians To Children, Use Speech As a Form of deception, and Coach Do, Too, But McDaniels, At Times, Seem Innocently Bewildered In His Coach Talk. The Official Transcript Doesn't Log All Of Mcdaniel's Word Verbatim. Uses A lot of "Ugh," "Um," and "But" With A lot Of Pauses And Breaks In Between His Redirect. You Wouldn't Think He, McDaniel Graduated From Ivy League Schools With The Lack Of Cohesion In His Thought. If you hadn't Known Already, You Wouldn't Think He Directed The Tunnel Ways And Highways For One Of The Most Potent offenses For A Stretch Of The Season. The Dolphins Had The Second Most Potent Offense By Success Rate. On Sunday, He Needed an Offensive Game Plan That Could Keep Pace With The Best Team In The League, Perhaps, The Bills. So Despite Entering The Game As Double Figure Underdogs, The Dolphins Played Their Most Complete Game In a Season. Not The Best Game For The Dolphins In Their Year Filled With Massive Comebacks, Big Over rather Top Explosive Plays Like A Bad Boys Movie, and Still Fall Short To A Division Foe. On The Dolphins Final Failed Drive, On A Day Of Incalculable Missed Opportunities: How Did The Dolphins Blow This Chance To Steal This Game? The Bills Started Off On The First Couple Of Drives and Jump Out To A 17-0 Lead That Made Them Look, Smell, And Cover Routes Like The Best Team In The League.

Allen finished with 352 passing yards, 15 Yards Of Air Yard On Average Per Throw, Finishing 23 of 39, 9 Yard Per Attempt. He Weathers A Serious Bruising By The Dolphins Splish And Splash Pass Rush Deliver Wave After Wave Of Pressure. At least Five Dolphins Players Recorded 3 Pressures Of Any Kind On Their way To Sacking Josh Allen Seven Times. Mid-season Transaction Bradley Chubb Almost Shifted The Entire Tide Of The Game With A Sack Fumble On Josh Allen That Never Put This Game In The Bag. For some reason, Catch Rules Are Still Hotly Debated In 2023, And The Bills Had A Number Of Those Right Between The Rules. The Touchdown Over Turned From Dawson Knox Allowed The Dolphins That Resulted In field to stretch For The Dolphins That Welcome Them Back Into The Game. The Bills Went Up 17-0, Stefan Diggs Had 72 Yards On The Bills First Touchdown Drive Alone, and The Dolphins Had Gained Only 14 Yards Of Scrimmage Offense. The Bills Had More Points Than The Dolphins Had Accumulated Scrimmage Yards. The Dolphins Look Soaked On Offense. Jaylin Waddle Couldn't Catch Anything, And The Ball Were In His Grasp. Skylar Thompson Did His Best With Placement On His way To Finishing 18/45 220 4.9 Yard Per Attempt. I've Seen Waddle Come Down With Those More Times Than Not. Then The Dolphins Defense And Jason Saunders's Leg propelled The Dolphins Back Into The Game. Saunders Score nine Unanswered Points For Dolphins. A Jevon Holland Interception, A Ricochet Off Of the Hands The Cole Beasley, Of Set Up The First Dolphins Touchdown On Thompson's Pass To Mike Gesicki.

Junkies, We Some How The Most Unexpected Comeback On Our Hand. Beasley Would Atone For His Drop Bu Securing The Bill's first Touchdown Of The Second Half. The Bills Would Have To Fight Harder Than Expected But Wouldn't Look Back. The Dolphins Stuck To The Man Defense Philosophy Through The Game, Freeing Up Bodies On The Defensive Line. Pro-Bowler Xavien Howard Manage T Contain Stefan Diggs In The Second Half. After The first, Diggs Made Small Drops On Imprints on The Game On His Way To Finishing With 7 Catches 114. I Gave Davis Took Over. The Combination Of He And Josh Allen Couldn't Miss On Opportunities. Diving Catches, Touchdowns To The Back Of The end Zone. He's Heating For Another Big Year Of Playoff Football.

Vikings Vs. Giants

The Results Of The Game Are Finalized, But No Matter How The Year End, We All Have To Put Some Respect On Brian Daboll And This New York Giants' Team Name. Coming Into A Year With A First Head Coach, A Quarterback With Everything To Prove, and Two Of Your Highlighted Pass Catchers From A Year Ago Either Never Played For The Team This Season(Kadavius Tooney) Or Played Sparingly(Kenny Galloday) For The Giants This Season. Still, The Giants Marching On The Power Of A Two Man Run Game With Their Quarterback And A "Making My Way Downtown" Passing Attack. The Giants Are Run Team First And Strong Start To The Season By Saquon The Giants started Season 4-1, A Bright Start That Made Them Media Darling Of The Sorts. "Could The Giants Turn The Tide This Season On One Of The Longest Playoff Droughts? Then Brian Daboll's Squad Continued To Surge But Hit a Slumped and Another Slump. They Won Most Of Their Close Games Early. Still, In The Second Half Of The Season, they Could Only Register Victories Over Their Weakest Opponents On The Remaining Schedule(Commanders, Texans, And Colts), Finishing A Robust 3-6 In Th Second Half Of The Season. The Giants Didn't Use Saquon Much In Their First MatchUp, with Only 14 Carries. In His First Playoff Experience, Maybe The Former Number 2 Wants To Make His Presence Felt. Speaking On His Physical Health, "I Feel Good." said Saquon

According To Brian Daboll, Playoff Experience Doesn't Count For Much, But Neither Of These Coaches Has Much A Head Coach(Vikings Head Coach Kevin O'CLOCK Served As OC For The Rams' Super Bowl Run Last Year, Brian Daboll Lead The Bills' Offense). The Vikings Have To Win This Game Because They're The Team With The Expectations. Call Them Lucky, Over The Top, "Inscrutable" the Vikings Are A Team to Watch In This NFC Playoffs. They've Played As Average As Any Team But Never To The Best Of Their Own Ability. "Consistency How Snaps in A Row Can You Put It Together." Kevin O'Connell Said:

A Check Down, What An Appropriate and Poetic Way For The Vikings Labyrinthine Season To Come To Its End. The Vikings Were Consistent With Themselves In This One. 

It's Hard To Beat A NFL Team Twice, The Saying Goes, But So Far, The Playoff Of Reboots Haven't Proved That True. Every Other Game Of Wild Card Weekend Went Odds Predicted, But If Any Team Looked Like A Shoo-in To Have Their Higher Seeded Position usurped, The Vikings Had All The Identifiers Of a Team Waiting.  

From Seasons End, The Vikings Stock Continued To Trend Downward. 

The Giants Seemed to Have Two Fights On Their Hand, One With The Vikings and One Against The Grain. The Forces The Play Into The The Demand For Daniel Jones, Saquon Barkley, And Anyone Active. With Every Off Target Ball(very), You Got The Sense The Underdog Giants Would Slip Off The Fast Track. Even After Daniel Jones Lead The Drive For The Giants to Take A Ten(10) Point Lead, They Were Playing Right Into The Vikings Territory. Nevertheless, The Vikings Offense Again Couldn't Scheme Their Wide Receivers Open Consistently. The Tacticians For The Vikings Had Nothing Against The Will Of The Giants. Justin Jefferson Caught Seven Pass, Three On The Vikings First Touchdown Drive For 30 Yards And What Boils Down To A Hockey Assist On A Kirk Cousins Touchdown. The Rest Over The Way, He Caught 4 Passes Over The Next Seven Vikings Drives For 17 Yards. Those Four Passes Were The Only Ones Giants Corner Adoree Jackson Recalled After Game." I Think He Had Four Catches." Jackson Said, The Giants Put An Emphasis And A Lock Pad On Justin Jefferson Just As The Pack Did. Keeping a Body Or Two Next To The Star Receiver At All Times. The Vikings Scheme Never adjusted. Unsurprisingly Kevin O'Connell's Offense Couldn't Get Dalvin Cook Running, With All The Issues On The Offensive Line. TJ Hockenson Stepped Up Big In The Light Of All The Offensive "Dissonance." The Vikings Trade Deadline Acquisition Took 10 Passes 129, Including The Fatal Check Down. 

I'm Several Sentences Deep, And I Haven't Touch Much on The Great Game Daniel Jones Finished Offensively. He Didn't Look Like A Four Year Starter With Who Entered The Season With Questions About His Long Term Viability As a starter. He Looked Like The Draft Profile That Cajoled The Giants To draft Him Top Ten All Those Years ago. Instead, I've Focused On what The Vikings Didn't Achieve. How Does Minnesota’s Offense Fail To Push The Ball "vertical" On The Final Play Of The Game Despite the Situation Calling For A Deep Pass. Kirk Cousins just checked off and Switch Back To His Check From His Days With Mike Zimmer At Coach Rather Than The Swahblucking Downfield The Field Artisan . "I want Kirk Free To Make Those Decisions." Coach O'Connell Said. I'm sure O’connell has All The Confidence In The World in His quarterback and Every Coach Wants To Trust Their Quarterback To Make “Those” decisions In Those Moment. Kirk Rather Has To Make A Better Decisions In That Moments. O’Connell Therefore HAs To Take Away The Right Decision and Leave Only The Best Ones. O”connell Share The Blame For This “Minnesota Manic Move.”

Cousins Said He Felt The Pressure, Pressuure Both From The Giants Rush and The Pressure To Put The Ball In Play. The Giants Pass Rush hit Him Eleven Times, No Sacks Thank To A quick Release, But That Quick Pull Betrayed Him As Cousins Didnt Feel Confident Enough In The Coverage He Saw To Fling One Deep. "I Had Thrown Short Of The Sticks Going Back A Few Games. I Just Felt Like Throwing Short Of The Stick Isn't The End Of The World." Cousins said, Obviously, He Was Wrong. KJ Osbourn Ran A Pretty Good Shallow Post But I Guess Kirk Lost Confidence In His Target The Play Before. Why O'Connell Didn't Call For A Five Man Route Combination Also Beckons An Answer. Dalvin Cook Also Stayed In The Back Field And Run Into The flat Instead Of Joining The Fray Down Field On A Delayed Release. Why Have Dalvin In The GAme Anyway, Wouldn’t Anoyther Receiver Like One Of The Jalens Make More Sense. If Dalvins The Checkdown, Why Does Hockenson Run Shallow Route. Playoff Experience Counted Where No One Cared To looked, With Coaches and Playcalling, Not The Players’s Performance(Despite Disappointment With There As Well).

"There's Always A Play [Call] That Could Be Better For Your Guys." one Plays Doesn't Make Up The Entire Game, But One Play Can Change everything. Why Plug a Check Down Into A Play Call Like That Anyway. Both Teams Mentioned Playoff Experience, and Cousins Show His Inexperience. He Played The Last Passing As If He Believed another set Of Downs Would Come Next Week To Prove Otherwise. 

One Team Looked as Though They'd Had Playoff Scenarios Running Through Their Minds All Season; The Other Looked Up, Waiting For A Favor From The gods Or The Other Team To Throw The Game Away. We Talk A lot About Playoff Experience, whether Time aspen On The Opposite Side Of The Regular Season Has weight When The Name Changes and adverbs Get Extra. The Dolphins Could Have Used Some. The Vikings and Giants mark Off Any Discussion Of The Like As Point On The Peripherals. Neither Team had A wealth Of The Nebulous Gooey Substance, But One Team Had That Playoff Environment Understood, Integrated.  

Reporter: "Defensively, Kevin, Do You Think This Was An Issue With Scheme Or Talent?" Of Course, O'Connell Would Take a Great Car To Hurdle The Dangerous Trenches Of Running Both His Defense And Defensive Staff under The Bus. "Across The Board, We'll Take a Look At Everything." Kevin O'Connell. Coach Speak Sounds Great In The Press Release, But O'Connell's Words Can't Hide What Everyone's Eyes Saw. Giants Receivers Running Across The Field Open. Saquon Barkley Running UnConcerned With A Threat of a Contain. Daniel Jones sneaking Over The Line On Fourth And One Time After Time. I Could Hear Ed Donatel's Heartbeat As The Giants Line Up To Face 4 And One On Their Penultimate Offensive Drive Of The Game. I'm sure He Expected The Offense To Response On Their Behalf, But The Offense Had Its Own Problems On Fourth Down. The Giants Picked Up 28 First Downs(Two Fourth Down Conversions), Nearly Dominated Time Of Possession. The Giants Just had The Answers Through Miss Targets, Sacks The Giants Just Kept Churning. "Just Like Last Time. It[The Game] Came Down To A Few Plays, And We Made More Than They Did." Brian Daboll said. He added The Bit On The Vikings Defense, Even If He Didn't Address Them Directly, "What We Did Was What We Wanted To Do." Statements Like Those, Aggressive Game Plans Like The One The Giants Employ Unfold Greatly When Daniel Jones Has A Manhattan Project size Game. Daniel Jones Clear 301 Yards Passing Two Touchdowns 114.1 Rating In His First Playoff Action. The Fourth Year Starter Also Rushes For 78 Yards On 17 Carries. He accounted for or Generated 88% Of The Giant's Offense And Delivered The Giants Out Of The Wilderness. 

"I think what you make out of it is the experience is probably overrated, to be honest with you," Daboll said Monday. "It's how you prepare, practices, and ultimately play the game and coach it on whatever day." The Giants We're Better to Prepare. They Prove Why They're A Top Ten Passing, As Bizarre As That May Seem For A Team That Has Ran The Ball As Much as They Did This Season.  

Bengals Vs. Ravens 

Credit The Ravens For Surviving The Prolonged Exposure To That Less Than Superstar Quarterback Play. Jon Harbaugh Group Didn't Fold Like Last Season Group Instead, They Made Good On Heavy Favorable Playoff Odds. The Ravens Made Good On Getting On An Early Start Lamar Jackson Set Them

off On. the Former MVP Will Sit Out This playoff For the Ravens. He Sat the Game Again. The Bengals Completely Out The Crows Nest Following Knee Rehab. He Didn't looks Great Going Out, Either. He Started The Season With 10 Touchdown In His First Three Games, But Only Managed 7 In His Next 9 Full Games Before Injury. The Raven Have Only Gouge Your Eyes sour Worse On OffenseThen, Scavenging Late On Lesser Opponents(Broncos, Split-Pittsburgh, Falcons). It's Nothing Like What They'll See from This Bengals Team They Just Played A Week Ago, I Know. The Ravens Have A Top 10 Defense Anywhere Defensive Rating Are Found. What Bengals Have In Return, Something Ratings Can't Cover, That's "Confidence." They Just Keep Coming, And They Won In The End, Even When Confidence Couldn't Covert Third Downs. The Ravens Defense Held Burrow To An Average Game. Burrow Obviously Found Great Success In The First Playoff Games In His Career Back On That Trail; he Had an Average Game of Just 23/32 For 209 Passing Yards and one Touchdown. The Ravens Again Found Points Difficult To Pull Out Of The Ground. In A Twist Of Fate Of Sort, The Bengals Defense Made The Play Of The Game. Sam Hubbard scoop And Score After The Bengals' D-Line Dislodged The Ball From Tyler Huntley On The Quarterback Sneak. Just When The Ravens Looked As If They'd Take The Lead One Or The Other touchdown Or Field Goal, The Most Off Wall Play Took Place. Instead Tied 17 All After The Most Mural-Worthy Play Of The Tyler Huntley Era In Ravens' Football, 41 Yard Pass To Demarcus Robinson. Hard To Believe The Bengals Nearly Lost This game Considering All The Adversity Facing This Ravens Team Without Lamar Jackson. At The Goal, The Ravens Are In The Most Lamar Jackson-required-To-Advance Circumstance. After Working Their Way To The Goal Line, Tyler Huntley Fumbles Truing To Reach Over The Goal Line. The Successes Of Daniel Jones Blinded Their Approach. Maybe Everybody What The Ravens Had Plan Because of How The Y Aligned In Backfield. To Make Matters Worse, The Raven Had A 9 Play 80 Drive Going, Maybe Their Best Drive Of The Game. Alas, Instead Of A conversion, Defensive End Sam Hubbard Picks Up The Ball And Runs 17 Miles Per Hour The Opposite way For 98 Yard And Ultimately A 24-17 Win And Advance For The Bengals. Nobody On The Ravens Had Enough Speed To Make A DK Metcalf Run On Hubbard. Mark Andrews Tried, But she Took A Bad Angle And Met The Bengals Caravan Instead. The Ending Will All be Envisioned When The NFL Announced The Game. The Bengals Played a Similarly Drawn Out Matchup With The Raiders Last Postseason. Cincinnati Sowed The Seeds To Their Super Bowl Run In That Wild Card Matchup. Of Course, That was last year, but The Defense Secured The First Win Of The Bengals Run, Then And The Hand Of Favor Turned away Again. Even With More Than 11 Mins Remaining, The ravens Wouldn't Scratch The Red Zone Again In The Quarter. The most Shocking Play Of The Weekend Seems To Have Left Them "Shook" Despite The Lose, The Raven Should find Solace In How They Played. The Bengals Offense Only Produced 234 Yards.  

Struggling In A Game everyone Expected The Bengals To Brisk over An Opponent Doesn't Bode for Zach Taylors Team, But ultimately Playing The Toughest Defense They'll See In The AFC Might Serve As The Warm Up, Reality Check The Bengals. 

Niners Vs. Seahawks

Niners Coach Kyle Shanahan Has Made His The Crown Jewel Of NFC West For Most zig his six-year tenure in the Bay. He's Owned The Rams NFC West Division Since He Joined The Niners. The Cardinals Have Given Him some Trouble, But They've Coming Around Nicely. He, Shanahan, Developed A Near Belichick-ian Command Over His Division As Such, Except The Seahawks, Again Until This Season. By All Accounts, The Seahawks Have Improved On Their Lot By Trading Away Russell Wilson, Except In The Area Of Beating On Kyle Shanahan. Shanahan, And the Niners, are The Only Place Russ Has The Seahawks Baat Before The DangerRuss Jetted To The Mile he Pasted The Niners For an 8-2 With Shanahan Coaching(Shanahan Faced Russ With The Broncos And Lost in Week 3). The Seahawks Have Missed Russ If For Matchup. The Niners Have Left Them Sore in Matchup. Even Head Coach Pete Carroll Understands There's Little To Say When You're Something of Upshot Going To Face The Heavyweight Champion Of The World. Unfortunately, we're playing the Niners," he said with a chuckle, "They're loaded and healthy and on a roll and as hot as you could possibly get." The Niners Finished The Year On A Ten Win Streak Nd Wrapped Up The League Highest Point Differential, 173, Forty Points Higher Than The Eagles in Third Place, 133. None Of Than The Point Differential In Division 141-66.

The Niners Have Scored 30 Or More 6 Times Of Those Ten; this Breathe Fire and Has The Most Potent Concoction. The Niners Have One Vulnerability(Perhaps) Rookie Quarterback Brock Purdy. Mr. Irrelevant(s) Rarely Perform Like The Best Quarterbacks In Their Class. The Last Pick In The Drafts are Rarely Quarterbacks, and They Rarely Play; that's Brock Purdy. He's Played Well, Stepping In For Garropolo. He's Undefeated and Undeterred, But Now He's In The Playoffs; there are No Games Next Week If The Niners Lose. 

The Seahawks Are Built For The Future, This Season Transpired That The Future crossed With The Present. Their Young Secondary Didn't Show Up In This One. A lot Of Rookie On Rookie Violence. Seattle Rookie Tariq Wholen and Coby Bryant Are Celebrated For Their spirited Play as Rookies As The Seahawks Defense Lean On The Team Future. The Two Young Guys Are Still Learning The Minutia Of Covering crossing Routes. "just Think Of How Good These Young Guys Will Be NEXT Year." Fox Commentator Noted. 

No One Knows Of Next Year, But The Niners Were Ready Now. Brandon Aiyuk, Deebo Samuel, and George Kittle All Highlighted Weapons Galloping And Riding Their Way On Crossing Routes Through The Field Open Consistently. Some Route Weren't even Miscommunications Seattle Corners Got Drilled Over The Middle. Brock Purdy, Who Had An Outstanding Game, Even Turned Down A Few Often They Came Open. Immediate Routes Ruled The Day, None Greater Than Deebo Samuel Catch And Run For 74 Yards And A Touchdown. According To Next Gen Stats, 120 Yards Of Deebo Samuels's 133 Yards Came On Crossing Routes, Most Of Which Came In The Second Half. I Can't Imagine Any Less Of Brandon Aiyuk's Three Catches 73 and George Kittle's Two Catches 37 Yards Also Accumulated By Way Of Crossing Routes Whether. Playing in Trail Coverage In Man Coverage Or Failing To Match In Zone, The Backend Of Seattle's Defense Had No Near Niners at The Point Of Catch. Even Seattle Pressure Unit Had Trouble Keeping Stride With Brock Purdy. Purdy Finished The Year With A Solid p2s%(The Number Of Pressures Turned Into Sacks)Rate, and He Showed His Wheels, Escaping pressure, Extending Plays. "we Chased Him All Over The Place, And He's Not The Greatest Scrambler." (In Pete's Opinion)" Said Seahawks Head Coach "Pete Carroll said. "He Stays alive. He's Resourceful."

Sometimes Purdy Just Put The Ball In The Dirt When the Pressure Shot Up His Face. He's A Very Astute Football Player, And From His First Touchdown To His Fourth, He Proved A Master Of Just Working The Mechanics Of The Pocket. An Impressive Night Of Football For The Rookie, 18/30, 332 Yards, 11.1 Average, Three Passing Touchdowns, 131.5 Passer Rating, Generating 3.63 In Time To Throw. His Number Across The Boards Are Just astonishing, He Rushed For One Touchdown. In A Game, The Seahawks Expected Defeat They Held Something That Felt Like Momentum Or At Least Containment Of the NinersFire. After Falling down Two scores, The Seahawks Put Up 17 points in the Second Quarter, Starting With A Fourteen Play Drive That Epitomized The Seattle Offense. Kenneth Walker Hard Driving Runs Geno Smith Connecting With His Wideouts From The Shot Gun. Geno Struggled To Stay On Timing With His Receivers, But By the Time The Seahawks Went Up 14-13, He Started Connecting Deep. DK Metcalf Caught The Niners Off Guard Along The Sideline For Fifty Yards. The Niners looked Ready To Force A Field Goal. Come the Second Half, Missed Opportunities and Penalties Would Unravel All Of Their Poise. The Niners Took The Lead On The First Possession Out Of The Half, All Credit To A 12 Play 75 Yard Drive. The Seahawks Start A Drive In Response, Marching All The way To The Niners Red Zone. After Nearly Converting A first On A Seven-Yard Pass From Geno Smith To Tyler Lockett. Seahawks Offensive Lineman Damien Lewis Gets Flagged For Ineligible Man Down Field. The Silly Penalty(Why Are You Pass Blocking Four Yards Down Field Anyway). The Penalty Pushes Seattle Back Five Yards. 

After One DK Metcalf Concentration "Drop," Geno Gets Sacked, Nick Bosa Recovers. The Seahawks Converted A Long Third Down Earlier, also The Product Of A Offensive Line Penalty. "We Got Down to The end Zone But Couldn't Sustain Drives Because Of Penalties." DK Metcalf Said After The Game. 

DK Catches A Nice Fade Route Along The Sideline Against Chardavius Ward, The Other Time He Stumbles. The Niners Offenses Would Score 24 Unanswered In Four Drives To Close Out The Game. The Niners Ran 64 Plays and 505 Yards Of Total Offense. The Seahawks Suffered Two Turnover In The Second Half, Could Barely Keep The Run Game Component Of Their Offense Viable. Although final Seahawks Have A Solid Future. The Young Have To Build On What They've Achieved This Off-season. The Seahawks Have nothing But Optimism Going Forward. The Loss, However, Does Bring An End To A Poetic Season For Geno Smith. 

He's Expected Back In Seattle; on A Contract and should Have Two Year Heavy Signing Bonus With Maybe A Three Year Option of Around 56 Million, 35-40 Million Guaranteed Over The First Two Season.
