Meaningful NFL playoff games today - StickierBuns - 01-03-2026
Love it, Carolina at Tampa for the NFCS and Seattle vs San Fran for division title and the NFC's top seed. Good stuff. Not bad for a Saturday NFL lineup.

That the Vikings/Packers game has the same relevance as a preseason game is a major letdown.

I honestly couldn't care less about the NFCS...I'll be rooting for Sammy tonight though - and I'm a closet 49'er fan.
There would be another great game today if the Vikings didnt give-up that kick-off return to the Bears and won the damn game.

Niner's fan only because of my bro, time with the Vanguard (Santa Clara) and that they continually kick the crap out of the Packers in the playoffs.

This is exactly when Sammy/Vikes fell apart last year. At Detroit and their 3rd string defense (last reg season game) and then at LAR in playoffs. Took about 20 sacks those two games.
Will be interesting to watch him the rest of the way

Time to see if darnold has grown.
He's in the identical situation as at Detroit last year
KOC made the mistake of trying to push the ball to the deep third of the field, in the playoffs those plays aren't there, everything is a step faster.
If Seahawks adjust and pick their shots I think they win.
Edit Sammy looked solid but SF was missing Williams and perceval , SF was never in it

Yep, decent performance for Uncle Sammy but SF shit the bed. Ugly game actually.

Darnold played very well and I am excited for him. He deserves all the success.
The difference to me was this time he had great Oline and a fantastic running game. He did not have to do anything extra but play within the confines of the game. He made the plays he had to make and kept them on schedule. Congrats to him and Klint.
Also he benefited from a great defensive (which he did not have at last year’s game) that allowed him to play within the lead and not chase the game.
Seattle is definitely the NFC fav.

Watching OL play and seeing it make all the difference. Seattle was without their starting LT and they kept on rolling
RE: Meaningful NFL playoff games today - purplefaithful - 01-04-2026
Injuries and this long of a season almost ruin the game for me.
SF was a shell with so many key players missing. They were still in it into the 4th Qtr, but the outcome was really never in doubt.
Sammie throws a beautiful ball and he found a good home, happy for him. Sea won last night old skool; Defense and Running Game
