Holy shit, did this weekend's first two games make up for the shit fest of the first weekend of NFL playoff games. Both #1 seeds play and both #1 seeds go down, in dramatic fashion. First we had Cincy v's Tennessee, both offense's didn't look great. Which sounds funny tp say considering Joe Burrow threw for almost 400 yards. But Burrow throwing for 400 yards is incredible, especially the fact that he had no time to throw the ball and got sacked like 9 times. Joe Burrow showed all of his toughness in this game, in fact this fucking guy might be one of the toughest mother fuckers in the league who plays under center. On the other side of the ball Ryan Tannehill didn't seem to get going at any point in the game. Tannehill threw for just over 200 yards and 3 picks, including a ridiculous pick from Bengals corner Mike Hilton who came on a corner blitz to tip the ball to himself and pick it off. But in the 4th quarter the Titans have the ball, all squared 16-16 and Tannehill throws yet another back breaking interception(this one wasn't on him). The Bengals go down the field to line up an 52 yard field for the rookie kicker Evan McPherson. The son of a bitch was warming up on the sideline when Joe Burrow overheard him say "well I guess we're going to the AFC championship".....the absolute balls on this kid. He literally is the embodiment of the Randy Marsh meme of him carrying his balls in a wheelbarrow around town. Then the kid comes in and drills the 52 yard field goal to walk out of Tennessee with the win and put Cincy in the AFC title game. Burrow, McPherson......balls, man......balls. How the Packers find a way to screw shit up year after year after year is just amazing to me at this point. They were the #1 seed in the NFC again, it seemed like Aaron Rodgers was on a complete "eff you" tour this entire season. Then once again the playoffs hit andddd they suck again. The fact the 49ers were even in this game was a complete miracle. Their offense couldn't get anything at all going and to be honest it seemed liked the packers were going to absolutely shit pump them from the opening whistle. But then the 49ers defense settled in and it became a game of great defense (or real bad offenses). San Francisco didn't even have an offensive touchdown, which is an embarrassing look for the Pack. The only touchdown the 49ers had was on a blocked punt recovery. The Packers had a field goal blocked and a punt blocked, the put it lightly it was a real shit show of a special teams performance for Green Bay. Once again though, it was a kicker with enormous balls that shined the brightest in this game. We should have known how awesome Robbie Gould was when he was practicing kicks, during the Packers team introductions. I mean, right there.....the Packers players were right there when Gould was booting 50 yarders in their faces. Again, with no time left for a walk off 49ers win, Gould lines up and absolutely drills a 45 yard field to send the Niners into the NFC championship game. Then the audio comes out of Jimmy G hugging Gould while yelling "Fuck the Packers". Not sure what's going to happen to Aaron Rodgers now, but this could be the story of his career....the guy that couldn't get it done in the playoffs.
