NFL fans were treated to the wildest playoff weekend of all-time in the divisional round, and I can imagine that the words “scripted”, “fake”, and “rigged” were said more times than at a production of Peter Pan. Perhaps the most unique of the four games was the Los Angeles Rams’ 30-27 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, in the sense that not only did it have Tom Brady down by 24 points at home (rare), a 24-point comeback (rare), but also one of the longest passes in postseason history by a winning team in the final two minutes (extremely rare).
Matthew Stafford’s 66 yards to Cooper Kupp on two passes with less than :40 seconds on the clock setup a game-winning field goal by Matt Gay against his former team and the Rams are going to the NFC Championship game for the second time in four years.
Rams fans went on a wilder ride than anticipated, thinking that the game was straight out of Disneyland’s A Bug’s Life for three quarters and then suddenly winding up on X2 at Six Flags. Thankfully, nobody died. Not even Tom Brady. But L.A. won and will face the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday afternoon at SoFi Stadium.
Given the last game between these two teams at SoFi... pull down that lap bar and hold on to your cell phone.
Earlier this season I asked Rams fans to rec their favorite comments in the game threads and we of course had a ton of action at Turf Show Times on Sunday. Back by popular demand is another edition of YOUR top comments, what you liked, what you hated, and what you said during L.A.’s insane 30-27 win over Brady. Is the game afoot? Fixed? If it is, sign me up for another Rams win just like that one...
So long as the Rams win.
Here is what you said on Sunday.
First Quarter, 0-0
