How to lose Divisional Round playoff games:

We’re coming off an exciting, dramatic even if at times chaotic Divisional Round weekend. However, one of the overarching themes watching these four games for me was how the losing teams shot themselves in the foot and cost themselves chances to come out on top of those matchups.

So rather than highlighting positives and breaking down great plays of the winners primarily – as we usually do – let me be THAT guy for a day and just vent about some of the decisions and moments that proved costly for the other side!

We have two new superstar quarterbacks

Both the Texans and Packers were entering crucial years, with number two pick C.J. Stroud as the supposed savior in Houston and Jordan Love taking over for a legend Aaron Rodgers in Green Bay.

In the Wildcard Round, they blew out the Browns and Cowboys, shredding what had been two of the best defenses across the NFL, with the two young quarterbacks being the stars of the show in their playoff debuts!

Predicting the full 2023 NFL playoffs:

With Super Wildcard Weekend upon us, it was time for me to give you my full predictions, leading all the way up to Super Bowl LVII. I analyze all 14 teams, break down each matchups schematically and give my reasoning for who I think advances.

Of course the very first thing I saw once I finished recording were the news on Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa already being ruled out for this weekend. So a couple of my thoughts on him are irrelevant for now, but it doesn’t really change anything.
