If Detroit loses this all those fans who appeared in the pre game piece talking about the Super Bowl will be personal non grata in Detroit. I couldn’t believe they even had that in their first round, talk about a jinx

Dang - usually a back and forth game is due to sloppy nonsense but these guys are making epic plays.
First month my YouTube TV was worth the $83

Lions simply have no defense left with all the injuries. Really want them to win the NFC and play Buffalo, so we get a new Super Bowl winner (Minn-Buff would've been even better for that).

Washington with Daniels
Philly with Saquon

NFC East could be becoming a becoming a brutal division - with Giants as the ho on the block

IDK. Daniels is the real deal to be sure. Saquon is on the HOF track, but NFL RB's get old in a hurry. Not at all sold on how Prime's act would play in the NFL.

Giants may find their Daniels in April. You never know.

Dallas? Dak's contract is an albatross.. no coach. Unsure what kind of offense they can field. Maybe they should go heavy on D and running the ball.

A thing about Sanders is that he knows Jones very well (played for him) and vice versa.
Sanders wont be Jones valet being allowed to drive the car
I cant predict anything but Sanders vs McCarthy - I'm taking Sanders
I still think Sanders wants to go where Shedeur goes - not that that's wise

Players like Daniels come around once or twice a decade. He's only the 6th rookie QB to lead their team to the championship game. All other 5 previous to him, lost. The team around him isn't that great, but their schemes actually account for the strengths of their personnel and they maximize their abilities. Plus, they don't shoot themselves in the foot with turnovers and screw ups.

Everybody is focusing on how the Lions and previous teams blew it against Washington. Maybe it's more about the other team putting themselves into a better position to win by totally buying into the program. What an amazing run by Washington, a team that was run like straight trash for almost 3 decades. And yes, I'm writing this from the heart of those 3 decades.

Not entirely true. Washington had 5 turnovers in their loss to Philly. As much as you praised him, I actually don't think you're giving Daniels enough credit. This is about 90% him.

I can agree with this. However, this is the first game in forever where he didn't have to lead them on some game winning drive that was solely based on his magic. For once, the rest of the team stood up in very difficult conditions to put the game out of reach despite the weapons that Detroit has.

The defense was opportunistic and put just enough pressure on Goff so he would screw up. It's tough to believe that this defense was the worst one in the NFL last year that forced them to trade 2 of their best players before free agency. It's scary to think what Washington would look like if they actually had the talent of the top tier teams. This is all coaching, desire and Jayden Daniels!

Remember how much fun it was when the Giants beat Washington last year (and then NE and then GB)?
Oh man - all the Tommy Devito memes and chicken cuttlets.
Did you know he lived with his parents next to the stadium?

Who needs a potentially generational QB for a decade when you can make funny Italian hand signals for a couple weeks?

Daniels been outstanding, but the same / more credit is due to Kingsbury. It's a very different story if JD was playing in NY or NE or wherever.
