Jim Harbaugh 0-2 in the playoffs with Justin Herbert as his QB. Don't talk to me about injuries, see the San Francisco 49ers.

I was a fan of hiring Jim however that record does not help. Good thing the brain trust did not listen to me.
FYI, since 2020, the Matt LaFleur has won ONE playoff game (beating the Cowboys in 2023) in four appearances and they have a QB with 6 years experience and three as a starter.
In other words they have won one playoff game since KOC was hired.
Point being winning in the playoffs is hard PLUS you need some breaks to go your way.

This ^
But some love to overreact or not have perspective. Give me Kevin O'Connell with a decent QB any day of the week and twice on football Sunday.

"Packers now are expected to try to work out a deal in the coming days to keep head coach Matt LaFleur in Green Bay, per sources."
As they should. Packer Nation calling for his firing is just such typical hyper knee jerk stupidity. He's a very good coach.
And oh yeah....so again what to make of this guy? The Jaguars should have won the game against Buffalo, but Lawrence missed the chance to shine:
"On a day when Trevor Lawrence struggled with consistency and went 18-of-30 for 207 yards, three touchdowns and two interceptions"

Agree on LaFleur. It's like the Roman Colosseum. Fans are stupid, they overreact to everything and want blood after every loss.
But speaking of overreaction, Lawrence played well yesterday against the NFL's best pass defense. What's more, he had a helluva season. 4,000 yards, 29 TDs, 12 INT. I think it's time to put to bed the narrative that he can't play in the NFL.
I like what they're doing down in the Ville, despite losing their top pick for the season. But speaking of whom, they need to move Travis Hunter to CB permanently and then draft a WR. I can see them being a serious contender for the next few seasons.

I think what SF pulled off yesterday is absolutely amazing...
One for the ages even. If I was to list off the 49'er players missing from that field? Even b4 Kittle's achilles?
It would boggle the mind.
That said, I think their season ends this week. But what a job by Shanahan!!

Bears (6 losses in a row for the Packers?)
Bills (Jags are fresh to the playoff world)
49ers (Eagles have major issues on offense)
Doing good so far.

Well I'm killing it with the predictions at 1-4 so far. Just need Aaron to win tonight to get up to 2-4 lol.
As for coaches Shanahan proved again yesterday he's maybe the only guy in this league who does more with less. LeFleur melts down every postseason and Kevin O'Childress? Sorry, not going to win any championships with Sean McVay's clipboard holder. Here's a purple towel to cry in
