Saturday Games Thread

Up first 4:30, Carolina at Tampa for the NFC South Championship.

At 8:00, Seattle at SF for the NFC West crown and #1 seed.

Carolina has been up and down all year, Tampa in an outright tailspin. Rather see the Panthers take this.

Hard to root for either Seattle or San Fran, but if I had to pick, I don't trust Darnold as much as I do Purdy.

Tampa can win, but still miss the playoffs. They need to win and Atlanta to lose tomorrow.

Even with that in mind, ESPN should've had Tampa Bay vs. Carolina and Pittsburgh vs. Baltimore as a "win and you're in" Saturday event.

I like Baker so I hope TB pulls it out, but Carolina has been playing well lately

I've walked for miles and miles in a dead man's shoes
You can walk, you can run, but can't hide from the blues
And I've felt the pain of the world falling down on me
Well, all I need is a little cool rain to set me free

 

[Lunar]

Tampa settles for 3.

Thanks. Even more reason to root for Carolina.

Picked off.

I want Baker to succeed as much as possible. Love seeing him do well.
I hope Browns fans are a bit sadder because of it

Baker plays with heart. I like players that give a damn…

How are the Bucs 7-9? At the start of the season they looked like one of the best teams in the league and Baker was playing at an MVP level.

Officiating I this league is atrocious. I am not saying that they are throwing games, but it just sucks.

Well it that one officials last game after 30 years.

 

[Lunar]

That was an ugly play

Time for the main event of the weekend. This should've been the SNF game.

 

[Lunar]

I can't decide if I do or don't like the 49ers uni's

 

[bermudasteel]

The thing lady singing the national anthem was a bad choice...

 

[SteelerFan448]

The problem with making this game Sunday night was Atlanta v Saints being earlier could have made this game meaningless, and resulted in Carolina resting starters for the playoffs.

Why? The winner of this game gets the #1 seed in the NFC. Nothing to do with Falcons-Saints.

Sorry, I thought you were talking Tampa Carolina.

 

[Lunar]

Should have kicked the FG.

Wild how many college and NFL coaches are just passing up points early in games over the past couple of weeks.

Darnold missed a wide open Charbonnet early for a TD when he took the sack ....

Darnold mistake and they try to compensate for it and lose out ..........

 

[slashsteel]

Couldn’t Mustoppa Charbonnet, TD!

 

[Paul G]

Purdy better have another awesome game for the 49s ....... cause Seattle can run on these guys all night long
