Washington Wins a Thriller, Eagles and Bills Advance - NFL Wild Card Postgame Reactions

[@walkermorgan1710]

Love him or hate him Mikes passion for sports runs deep. You could run the biggest hedge fund in the world sell your shares and cash out. You’d be bored the next day. Mike has discovered the treasure we all would love to have. Being passionate about what we do.

AJ's book was "Inner Excellence".

[@yotoober1]

They were talking about ex Giant Phil mcconkey, the DB on Buffalo on Denver's first drive reminded me of old Giants DB #43 Elvis Patterson, his nickname was "Toast" he was always getting burned 😆

AJ did talk about the book after the game, but the book is a bad look. Watch him have a great game next week.

[@justinjoseph6966]

The prototype for the mobile QB is not Jackson, Daniels and Allen, it’s Michael Vick. He’s the QB this current generation of mobile QB’s are emulating. He won’t get his due from many if not most due to his criminal past that took years off of his career, but that aside, he should still get that recognition.

[@ander7018]

Michael Vick is just a modern version of Randall Cunningham. Jackson is a current year version of Michael Vick.

[@justinjoseph6966]

@ Oh, I don’t dispute that at all, but Vick was the QB this current crop of QB’s watched growing up.

[@adverseinperpetuity]

Most guys under 30 don’t remember watching Vick play in his prime.

[@ColonialImpactWrestling83]

Bowles turned what should have been a 13-4 NFC Championship game team into a 10-7 one and done with his garbage clock management and outdated defense. Commanders stepped up and Tampa hit their heads on the ceiling. I’m starting to get why the Jets canned this guy

[@johneichmann1028]

I remember Mike way back when suggesting that Michael Vick would revolutionize the game. He didn't quite live up to the hype, but Vick's game is the prototype now. Mike is not always right (none of us are), but I wonder if he remembers himself saying that.

How bout how much the ground game is looking more and more like rugby in between the tackles. We went from the tush push to what looks like a scrum in all short yardage runs. Deon dawkins picked up cook and basically collared him for an additio al five yards.

He really is. Team is winning a playoff game and he's pouting cause he didnt get his looks. Philly would be so smart to trade his ass in the offseason and any team that takes him in would be foolish too. Players like that dont belong in the league.

[@BELCAN57]

Mike, how do you like the "Spring Football" League ? Personally, I just can't get into it.

[@stephenstaedtler6902]

[@colinvsgravity]

Outside of Redskins vs Buccaneers the games this weekend were awful.

[@michaell8002]

Doink to Detroit. Lets go!

[@khawarsiddiqui341]

I am probably in the minority here but I find all the QB runs and scrambles to be boring and cheap. Footballs equivalent to a bunt. I don’t find watching a guy run against the wind with ball in hand to be exciting. Season after season of new rules to produce a passing game and what do we end up with? QBs running through empty valleys while every defender on the field has his back turned and running the other way. It’s boring. Football is returning to its rugby roots or at least that’s what it is looking more and more like.

[@steves9964]

I agree with you; it's the football equivalent of watching guys jack up threes in basketball. I do like watching the running game, but from a more traditional perspective. Let's face it, they've basically made it impossible to play defense - at least against the top quarterbacks - because even when they're stopped out come the flags. I think the league wants offense, and not necessarily passing; they want these big name QBs to be involved on every play. They want the ball moving, the defense on its heels and points to be scored. The quarterback scrambling is a residue of any tweaks they've made to the passing game because as you said there are gaping running lanes for him once there's a four count and he's survived on his feet with the ball. I find Allen's game more cheap because it reminds me of backyard football. He just slides around back there until someone finally comes open, or he tucks it and runs for first downs. Even the one time Denver stopped Buffalo down deep there was a bad hold downfield that Allen complained about but didn't get. How are these guys supposed to cover for that long? I'd rather bring the house and make him beat me over the top than sit back and give up 10-12 yards a pop, then hope to dig in and stop him in the red zone.

[@didgruntleddansnyderfan]

Well, rugby is a well-balanced team sport. Football is just not. Way too much emphasis on the QB since the forward pass change. It'd be one thing if it was even possible to find 32 young men who were able to play the position at a high level, but that has never and will never be the case. It's too difficult/takes too long to learn. So you're stuck in a situation where 20+ teams are making do until they find their unicorn in the draft and about ten teams compete for the title at any given time. And one of them probablly has a guy who is better than the other QBs anyway. Used to be Brady, now it's Mahomes. That guy is winning ca 75% of the titles until he retires, and then his team is probably rejoining the peasants in waiting for the next unicorn. This is just not good design of a team sport, and I don't care what anybody says. You'd be lucky if it was like rugby.

[@khawarsiddiqui341]

@didgruntleddansnyderfan Fair point, too much emphasis on the QB and less on the team until you get deep into the playoffs and good QB's have to play other good QB's. Than the strength of the roster gets to shine.

[@DionysianDialectics]

He's missed on WFAN. I don't know what's become of that station now. I do like Evan R. but I can't listen to the station anymore. At 45 I guess my brand of sports talk is simply no longer relevant. But the days of Joe & Evan in the morning followed by Mike & Dog or when it was just Mike are sorely sorely missed. Thank god for Mike's KZbin videos.

[@jeffsmith9651]

Agree with Mike’s editorial on AJ. However some of his facts wrong. AJ was pretty open in the postgame. Said the right things but still a bad look.

[@Badtown1988]

I wish the NFL playoffs weren’t just a contest to see who will have the right to lose to KC in the SB.

[@didgruntleddansnyderfan]

So you want a participation trophy? Play better and beat them, problem solved.

Hilarious Eagles best defense in league make packers look bad and Mike says packers defense is sensational like three times lol The hate is great

[@steves9964]

The Packers being a legit contender was his narrative so he can't let go without a qualifier. He disrespected Minnesota again and again, meanwhile they won 14 games and swept Green Bay. Green Bay was a solid team, but they beat no one this year. Any step up in class, they went down. Now 0-6 with two losses apiece to Detroit, Philadelphia and Minnesota. That's about as open and shut as it gets.

[@Chalk89]

The GB defense had a million times harder challenge in front of them. IMO, Jordan Love is not a good QB and they don't have any legitimate receivers. If I was to tell you before the game that Philly would win the turnover battle 4-0, you would have predicted 30+ points, a massive win. The defense played it's balls off.

[@robertkallenbrun4656]

Go Redskins!

[@CraigKearns]

The rules are no longer fair. Or make sense to me. If a quarterback is beyond the line of scrimmage running the ball he should be treated as a runner and the soft roughing the passer calls should be eliminated. At that point he is a running back. Period.

[@gatsby456]

A run first QB hasn't won since maybe Russell Wilson. Arguably Zero before that. Remains to be seen

[@nymike06]

These running QB's is tedious. Makes the league appear like University of Nebraska of the 1980s, As a result, the RB position is almost extinct with the exception of a few teams.

[@philb.1502]

The game has evolved because of the speed and athleticism of the defense. In today's NFL, you have some linebackers and defensive ends who are 6' 4 260 and run 4.5 for the 40 yard dash. The Quarterbacks have to be mobile and elusive to avoid the fast pass rushers.

[@brando7266]

One rb had 2k yds, and the other had over 1900, has that ever happened?

@@philb.1502 True, I agree but another thing is the defenses are extremely limited. Virtually impossible for a defensive player to dominate as many did in the 70s, 80s, 90s and early 2000s. Therefore the offenses have tremendous advantages.

Detroit isn't some unbeatable juggernaut dynasty. They still have a losers mentality as an organization as a whole, and yes, they should win this game, but Washington isn't going there just to play.
