Might as well make a thread for all the other playoff games
NFL scriptwriters sending Tyreek Hill back to Kansas City, Matt Stafford back to Detroit, Packers to Dallas to face off against Mike McCarthy, and Texans to Cleveland to face off against the team they traded Deshaun Watson to all for just the opening round of the playoffs pic.twitter.com/BnWvzgZnd5

That is a pretty incredible list of improbables.
The whole season was fixed?
Isn't Cleveland AT Houston because Houston won the division?
The most important thing the NFL conspired to do was keep the Jacksonville Jaguars out of the playoffs. I can’t blame them. Their fanbase isn’t particularly large, the rest of the nation is ready to change the channel to something else the moment we see the Jaguars are on TV.
Kudos to the NFL for making a Jaguarless playoff schedule happen once again after a brief period of conspiratorial incompetence let the Jaguars sneak in during recent seasons.
You've made BK's best friend Donovan Darius sad. 
Rumor is that Henry kidnapped him and they both ran away to the French Foreign Legion.
Ok, that's some brutal ass weather.
I think Kansas City might have the worst weather in the country. Sweltering heat with stifling humidity all summer. Colder than Chicago or Detroit or Boston with bone-chilling wind in the winter. Plus, tornadoes. https://t.co/FpaZMsBHmN

I read somewhere Tua is something 0-9 in games below 40. And 9-15 in games below 70. 
Chicago espn affiliate has Dave Wanstedt on every thursday and he ran down the matchups. I listen because he's funny, sometimes intentionally, sometimes not.
He picked DAL to go to the SB so he stuck with them and said GB was too young. CLE over HOU, TB over PHI, MIA over KC! He said he didn't know how, just a gut feeling. LAR over DET. He's not much good with picks, FWIW.
They did talk about the CHI/GB game a bit and about Brisker's assessment that they just had to tighten things up vs our receivers. Wanstedt didn't agree that it was that simple, that it would have made CHI more vulnerable at the CB position, etc. He also didn't say much about Love but did say AJ was the best player on the team and that he is what makes that offense go. That that was also true even with AR. He was very complimentary of AJ.
New chart I found.
It’s all a simulation. We live our lives in a big shitty video game.
Or so I’ve been told.

-- The #Lions list TE Sam LaPorta (knee) as questionable vs. the #Rams.
-- The #Cowboys have no starters with game statuses, as Stephon Gilmore (shoulder) will play.
-- #Packers CB Jaire Alexander (shoulder/ankle) and WR Christian Watson (hamstring) are…
Questionable is better than doubtful.
Up to 3 feet of snow expected for Buffalo with 40mph+ winds. "Snowmageddon 2024" I may be heading there Monday to dig out Rusty.
You can monitor the upcoming Apocalypse here:

Mr. Pizza cam. Store across the street had their own sledding hill out front
They sold out of beer. I think they were down to a quart of milk left and a bag of Dorito's when they finally got a delivery.
RUUUUUSSSSSSTTTTTTTTYYYYYYYY!!!!
Buffalo game is going to be interesting. If they truly do get the snow and 40 mph winds expected, will either team be able to actually throw the ball? If not, will Steelers "toughness" prevail?
Allen can throw a ball through a brick wall. Except it it's to another team quite often.

“How much more profit do NFL commissioner Roger Goodell and NBC need to make at the expense of hard working Americans?”
Goodell wants NFL revenues to exceed $25 billion by I think it is 2030.
He wants all the monies.

Can or do players wear wetsuits to keep warm?
Yes

My favorite are the people that are proud they figured out how to watch it: "It's not that hard" (that's not the point!). I understand KC and MIA fans giving in. I'd probably do the same if it was the Packers, but this nonsense goes away if people don't roll over and give in to it. NBC doesn't keep giving the NFL $110 million a year if people don't subscribe to the service. Make*it*fail.
I believe MIA @ KAN is on NBC in their respective markets. It's the rest of us that may or may not see it.
