It’s Enemy Reaction for the playoffs, and what a weekend we just had! Yeah there’s gonna be 49ers and Rams happiness here but you can deal with that for a week, can’t you? When you have four games decided on the final play you gotta recap the drama as much as possible.
In the interest of time and space, I’m gonna focus only on the 4th quarters (and overtime for Chiefs-Bills) of all of these matchups, as that’s where all the craziness was concentrated. Enjoy!

Wow. Some of the comments from the Chiefs and Rams threads (the teams that actually won!) were unbelievable.
We may never get another set of playoff endings like that again. By the way, I don’t remember the thread, but there were a couple of Packers fans on Acme Packing Company wanting Russell Wilson to replace Aaron Rodgers. Makes sense, as Wilson actually knows how to beat the 49ers.
We’ll have Enemy Reaction for the Conference Championship and Super Bowl weekend, and ideally I’m doing one that involves the NFC champion losing again.
Thanks for reading and go ‘Hawks!
