NFL GDT: 2021 NFC Wild Card Round: (4) Washington Football Team vs (5) Tampa Bay Buccaneers - TB wins 31-23

[Hockeyholic]

It won’t change anything. During his HOF speech, no one will remember that over his 6 rings and 9 Super Bowl appearances. His biggest lost will always remain Super Bowl 2007 against NYG

Which brings up a question:

Is the imperfect 18-1 season a footnote on his career because he won three SB's after this?

For instance, TB losing to Columbus last year doesn't hurt as much after winning.

Heinicke didn't look terrible when he came in for Haskins.

 

[Tryamw]

Well Probably get good money if you bet on Washington to win and they do.
But even so I won't take it I expect this one to be ugly...

Washington had no chance to win to begin with given smith looked like absolute trash on sunday.

Now they absolutely have no chance

One thing Washington does have going for them- recent playoff teams that finish without a winning record (.500 or worse) have always managed to avoid going one and done (04 Rams/Vikings, 08 Chargers, 2010 Seahawks, 2011 Broncos, 2014 Panthers).

last time 8-8 or worse actually entered the playoffs and failed to win at least one playoff game- 1999-00 (Lions, Cowboys).

This game will come down to turnovers and who can capitalize offensively on short fields.

 

[GKJ]

Oh ok we're going right into it

Washington has the players upfront to get to Brady. I think they'll need at least two Turnovers to win.

Unfortunately I don't know if their offense can do...anything.

 

[BKIslandersFan]

I can kick back and watch Washington United get kicked the living crap out of em.

No need to worry about Giants winning the Superbowl, thank you Doug.

Heinicke didn't look terrible when he came in for Haskins.

He's legitimately just as good if not better, he just didn't have the benefit of being a high draft pick.

Their best shot to win this was to have Alex Smith somewhat ready to go as he showed he can definitely get that team moving if he's healthy.

With how brutal he looked Sunday night against the Eagles (shouldn't have even been in there. Dude couldn't move) because of the calf injury they pretty much had no shot.

 

[GKJ]

Make the play, man

 

[Hockeyholic]

Let's say Washington wins this game.

That would have to rank up there as one of the biggest upsets in NFL history. No?

I can't get Arians obsession with Fournette.

 

[Spring in Fialta]

Let's say Washington wins this game.

That would have to rank up there as one of the biggest upsets in NFL history. No?

I honestly don't know if it beats Rams-Seahawks today especially when you consider the in-game injuries the Rams had.

 

[EpochLink]

Washington playing defense so far

 

[Hoverhand]

Let's say Washington wins this game.

That would have to rank up there as one of the biggest upsets in NFL history. No?

the difference in QB play is huge but it's not *that* much different than when a backup QB surrounded by a 1 seed roster won the superbowl against Bill Belichick.

 

[GKJ]

Suh is in the playoffs with his 4th different team. Wonder how many guys have done that

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Heinception.

 

[GKJ]

That would've been another good throw.

 

[Filthy Dangles]

Game.
