NFL '26 1st Round Playoff Games thread

The Rams should be wiping their a$$es with Carolina but aren’t.

 

[KingLando]

It's one game--but the Rams don't look like contenders today--if they win the road is about to get way tougher

[KingLando]

Time to really worry if you're a Rams fan

Stafford is really off tonight

 

[KingLando]

Stafford is really off tonight

Definitely not his best game--drops haven't helped
Still shocked Puka dropped the long would have been TD at the end of the first half

 

[psu31trap]

Stafford is not a good QB, he’s a choke artist. If it were not for a late surge by Aaron Donald and Jalen Ramsey in the ‘22 super bowl they’re losing to Cincy.

 

[Knickslions69]

Solid drive there

 

[G3624]

Aptly named, "Wildcard Game."

Saying it twice doesn't make it true lol

Does not look like fun for the fans in the stands, this evening

Ya Super Bowl champ, gaurenteed hall of famer and likely league mvp this year. He’s blows

 

[LionJim]

Big time.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

 

[LionJim]

Perfect pass for the TD.

 

[KingLando]

Perfect pass for the TD.

Yeah, Young couldn't have thrown that any better

 

[bbrown]

Just a very weird game. Rams needed to end them when they had the shot early--now it's going to be a battle to the end

Weird but fun.

 

[Knickslions69]

It’s tough to win nfl games!!

Hit his right hand and index finger on the arm of a pass rusher and he has been off since then.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Perfect pass for the TD.

 

[LionJim]

Dang, that was quite a grab.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

 

[Tom McAndrew]

After the TD, it's 34-31, LA, with 0:38 seconds left.

Certainly an entertaining game.

I hope the last 30 sec. has more drama

 

[Knickslions69]

That was some throw and catch. Lots of time left

 

[KingLando]

Hit his right hand and index finger on the arm of a pass rusher and he has been off since then.

He was perfect on that drive--only the Adams drop slowed them

 

[KingLando]

Panthers knew they had 3 timeouts, right?

 

[KingLando]

Rams survive--probably not good for the rest of the NFC

 

[Tom McAndrew]

wow, what a terrible series by Carolina with the season on the line.

Final: 34-31, LA

He didn't choke today. When it mattered most he was perfect

[Bison13]

Great game

 

[Knickslions69]

Fitting start to the playoffs this year as it’s been wild season. Game two coming up

 

[Grant Green]

Yep. NFL hasn’t been this wide open for years.

 

[troutrus]

Yep. Almost seemed like coach Ruhle was back.

 

[KingLando]

Yep. NFL hasn’t been this wide open for years.

I agree--I do think the AFC is more wide open than the NFC. Buffalo is really the only AFC team people really thought would be in this spot (maybe Denver)..,
I still think the NFC will be the Rams or winner of Niners/Eagles

 

[ApexLion]

Tough loss but played their butts off after a very bad first half. Too jacked or hyper. Plus Dowdle playing with turf toe didn’t help.

 

[Knickslions69]

Last take from first game Greg Olson is really a pleasure to listen to. Wish more were like him
