  1. The refs are letting ‘em play. I hope they give us the same treatment tomorrow night!🐻🔽

  8. denver is way quieter than when they’re on offense than when we are fuck😭

  9. I’ve always wondered, in a playoff game in OT, the game can’t end in a tie… so why bother with a clock at all? Who cares how much time is “left” because they’re going to keep playing until someone scores.

  10. I think we win a low scoring game, lose a high scoring game. I’m cautiously optimistic our defense can get stops and turnovers, more than what we showed for long stretches against the Lions 49ers and Packers recently. I’m choosing to believe in strength of JJ Kyler Wright CJGJ Byard and Brisker with both JJ and Kyler taking another step this week. I think we win in under fashion.

  11. Pass interference in the end zone in the final secs of the 4th by the Broncos was “just good football” with tugs on the jersey and pulling down his arm. Then they call that FOR the Broncos. I want the Broncos to win but fuck, the Buffalo fans will have something to bitch about.

    Edit: I want the Broncos to win solely for gambling/$$.

    2nd Edit: I meant the first DPI in that final drive, not the second one at the 4 yard line.

  12. Romo after calling Josh Allen “Mahomes”: Patrick could have thrown and caught the ball with his eyes closed. #JoshMahomes

  13. I know people say the Bears are a lucky team but I genuinely believe the Broncos are lucky as fuck lol they get every call **late** in games.

  14. I don’t understand why teams opt to kick in overtime. And this is exactly why. The advantage you gain on the first set of possessions turns into a much more negative factor because you are now conceding an extra chance to your opponent

  18. Don’t we all just love the “chuck it up deep and hope for PI” two plays in a row to decide a playoff game? That’s the football we know and love.

  20. I’m not even a bills fan and I’m gutted. Josh Allen is my fav qb I like to root for when my bears aren’t playing. Penalties were brutal

  21. I’m grateful the Chiefs and Eagles are out of it, but man, we really need a Bears-Texans Super Bowl cause the league has been bloated with Seahawks-Broncos-49ers-Rams-Patriots Super Bowls for the last 13 years.

  22. Denver was chosen by the refs this season, might as well pack it up, games don’t matter anymore.

  24. I was rooting hard for bills. That play was way too close to not look at in depth. Idk how that wasnt a catch. Also bs that refs decided to start callin penalties on last drive when all game they let em play. That being said. 6 turnovers aint gonna cut it. We cannot make mistakes tomorrow like bills. It was theirs to take

  26. Better buckle the fuck up tmw for what could happen after watching that OT w/Bills/Broncos. Seeing what Denver did on that last drive just chucking up balls for possible DPI’s stresses me out if we’re on D trying to hold off the Rams from a game winning drive.

  29. After watching all these playoff games. Theres one thing that really stood out to me. Our defense sucks. lol

  30. Everyonecomplaining about the refs but that second one was definitely DPI. It sucks that’s how the game was decided but you have to call it

  32. It’s wild to think the Bears will be playing one of these teams next weekend in the NFC championship game.

  35. For the upcoming Divisional Playoff game on Sunday, January 18, 2026, the NFL has assigned Shawn Hochuli as the head referee for the Los Angeles Rams vs. Chicago Bears game at Soldier Field, leading a crew that includes Umpire Bryan Neale, Down Judge Patrick Holt, and Line Judge Brian Perry, with Hochuli’s crew known for calling more penalties than average.

    Could be a penalty fest.

  38. Y’all see this is what playing at home with noise does to the away team. We need to start fast, execute well and watch the crowd go wild

  42. I sometimes wonder if people in our game threads are regular contributors to the sub or if they just show up for the games. Idc either way but I’ve always been curious.

  43. San Fran’s only chance looks like it might be Darnold’s oblique acting up or he just crumbles under the playoff pressure again this year

  46. If we win tomorrow, this Seattle team is terrifying and the home field there is easily top 3 in the NFL
