Or were those games this weekend boring???

My wife and I both lost interest and even turned off the Eagles/Giants game.

Not sure how much the Rams not being in it contributed, some I’m sure but, there just wasn’t any fire.

I missed the Chiefs game but the other games were not exciting at all.

Normally the Divisional Round is one of the best. This year was pretty ho-hum.

It's just you! Only you!! You Freak.

Also thought they were mostly average games to watch. Right now, about 50% of my football attention is on the Playoffs; and the other 50% is on the Rams' Off-Season.

For a fanbase who hates Morris' bend but don't break defense, how could the SF/Dallas game not be enjoyable?

(Besides SF winning of course)

Of course I was disappointed in Travon Diggs letting Kittle get away un-hit on that circus catch!

Had to watch the Fox NFC games on iPad…not the best experience.

Local FOX affiliate is off air while negotiating with Directv.

Jags-Chiefs was the best game, I thought.
 
Divisional weekend is usually the best. But the NFC was uniquely weak this year. Plus last year may have spoiled us. That was the best weekend of football ever.

I can watch an entire football game, and do all the time. Not baseball though. Baseball sucks for the most part. It has its moments, but generally sucks!

it was too obvious the losing teams were bad. getting lucky sure helps but teams that did win deserve to. I'm going with burrows and the 9ers with the niners winning it all. I hate the niners but that's the toughest team I've seen so far. eagles prove me wrong! go eagles. go rams.

In last year's divisional round, all four games literally went down to the final play, with some crazy endings. That probably contributed to the perception of this year's divisional round, although the games weren't that great in general. Jacksonville was an upstart and didn't have much of a chance against the Chiefs, making it closer than it should have been. The Giants were completely outclassed by Philly. Dallas and Buffalo both choked.

I enjoy all the rounds. The SB is usually anti-climatic for me (except when it involves the Rams). And considering the exciting SBs (18 or 19) have occurred much less often than the duds, the playoffs are usually more exciting year in and year out. Hell, the Rams have played in 3 of the most exciting Superbowls, 4 if you count '79 (and I do).

The first "exciting SB" was V. But there were 11 turnovers in that game and 14 penalties, so it was more a clusterfook than exciting. IIRC, it was the first one played on artificial turf. You'd have to go 8 years before there was another exciting SB. Everybody remembers the pass from Staubach to Jackie Smith that he dropped, forcing Dallas to settle for the FG. That was in the 3rd quarter and would have tied the game. Dallas lost 35-31. The next year it was exciting for 3 quarters until Pittsburgh pulled away from the Rams. The next two exciting SBs were SF vs Cincy in 81 and 88. So not such a great record......3 or 4 out of the first 23. "Wide right" in 90 then a long string of one sided games until 99. However, 11 of the last 21 were exciting, so it's improved. The cap and free agency?

You've got some years idnee the belt lol. Those sound like some classics. For some reason I always feel like divisional weekend is the best, maybe because there's 4 total games and all are usually good teams. Superbowls are usually pretty good but I feel like they tend to be a tail of two halves or different huge swings of momentum. Like Chiefs/49ers was just different stretches of dominance from both teams despite the close score.

This will be my first full year watching baseball. It's definitely hard to watch. It's slow and scoring has been low. I believe there was more strikeouts this year than any other season as well. Or less runs scored. Whatever the stat was, it wasn't good for ratings lol. Luckily I like pitching so I can watch a low scoring game but I can see how others would not.

Sure, its less interesting with the Rams not in it.
But last years Rams would have a tough time beating all of the 4 teams left. They are all really good and I expect a great Championship Weekend.
Rams barely beat Cincy last year and the Bengals are better this year. Burrow has a look in his eye, on a misssion. Humble and cocky at the same time. Always liked the kid, remeinds me of Montana. And I hated that guy until he retired.(which hit was better, Burts or Marshall?)
I say its the Bengals and Eaglels in the big game and while the big cats are my favorite AFC team Philly is very tough.
Look dominate to me.

Really hoping for better games next week although I will be disappojj in need of the 9ers don’t get taken out in Philly.

I didn’t expect the Bengals to get passed the Bills and was hoping for a repeat of Chiefs v Bills. Now with Mahomes fighting a high ankle sprain it could mean an easier Bengals win.

Sure would have been sweet to have a rematch of last year’s SB.
