So sick of the media this week. According to them the Vikings and Redskins should just forfeit rather than play, and we should just have the Seahawks play the Packers right now to determine who will represent the NFC in the Superbowl.

 

[BUTCH1]

Best case scenario: Steelers beat the Bengals, then Steelers beat the Broncos... Texans beat the Chiefs and Patriots beat the Texans. Then Pats get home field advantage for the AFCCG, pleasepleaseplease.

As a Pats fan I hate to admit what I think will happen but our O-line has been a running joke for most of the season. Yea, getting Edeleman and Vollmer back will help but let's be realistic, you can't expect any player to come back after being out for 6-7 weeks and be up to 100%. In the years the Pats won the SB they were playing dominant football in the closing weeks of the regular season, last week the offense managed 20 total yards in the 4th Qtr. This was against a Dolphins D that was ranked 27th in the league. I hope I'm dead wrong but don't think I am.

Yeah, tough break for you guys. As good as the ARI offense is right now I think NE could have been even better. If the Pats don't make the Bowl and ARI does you should feel good about Carson Palmer playing the Tom Brady role this year.

it'll be fun watching it if it snows

0% chance of snow. It will be incredibly bright and sunny when its that cold.

 

[BUTCH1]

Lol Minnesota. Too bad both teams couldn't agree on a warmer neutral site that no one will be using. Texas stadium maybe?

I was surprised that BM decided to shut it down after practicing all week with no reported setbacks. That being said IMPO Wilson is playing the best at the QB position right now, the last 6 weeks has seen him on a tear. If Minnesota decides to go to man coverage expect Wilson to do significant damage running the ball as well.

Just saw on ESPN that the Seattle bench will be in the shade all game long while the Vikings will at least get the sun to help against the bitter cold temps. I still say the Vikings do not have a defense that will challenge Wilson, he really is playing outstanding football at the best possible time.

Yea, I wouldn't mind seeing Palmer winning a ring but he will have to beat a tough defense, (Seattle) and a QB, (Wilson) who is red-hot the last 7 weeks. We'll see, Wilson has in the past been a "streaky" type of QB in where he starts off slow then heats up quickly or just plays a crappy game. What has changed is he has not played that "crappy game" in the whole second half of the season so we may be seeing him mature into the monster no one wants to face.

 

[BUTCH1]

Wow if true. Johnny Manziel Reportedly Partied In A Blond Wig, Fake Mustache And Glasses. Some things never change:

Edit: Wow, that didn't take long, yours now for only $25.99: http://freshbrewedtees-2.myshopify.com/products/the-billy-vegas-t-shirt

That's a young man with serious issues, he was scheduled for treatment by team doctors the next day and he pulled this crap?. The Browns will now most certainly be done with him and I don't think even Jerry Jones would try and handle this loose cannon. What a shame really, because if he got his shit together he could have eventually developed into a decent QB. Now he will end up drunk and broke, sooner rather than later.

 

[BUTCH1]

I actually feel bad for Hoyer at this point, this has to be the worst QB playoff performance of all time. All of the picks are of the "WTF was he thinking variety".

Yeah, it's almost like watching Peyton got destroyed that one time...

BUT I AIN'T SAD!!! HAHAHA :biggrin:

 

[lupi]

Who's your lock, KC?

yep!

Yea, well I don't blame you LOL. Smith played well with the exception of the one pick, but the inept Texan offense didn't even get 3 out of it. Talk about shitty coaching, they run JJ and Wilfork out on the 3 yard line, gee, did you have an idea of what play they were going to run?. A smarter play would have JJ try a short pass to the opposite side of the field Wilfork was lined up on but IDK if JJ can throw. Actually anyone with a gimpy groin is not going to be a very effective power-runner anyway. 30-0 isn't a win, it's a bitch-slap in the face.

 

[Ricochet]

Thank you Texans for starting off the Wildcard weekend with a very boring one-sided game.

 

[BUTCH1]

yep!

The KC defense certainly made a statement tonight but they lost their pro-bowl receiver Jeremy Maclin to a knee injury, hopefully it's not a tear and just a sprain.

 

[BUTCH1]

It's like the opening KO returned for a TD was a punch in the gut that they could not recover from. Kinda reminds me of the debacle in the opening of the SB 2 years ago.

 

[lupi]

that's a bullshit call.

 

[MetalMat]

I picked the Chiefs to win but even I did not expect such a dominating performance. I knew Houston was going nowhere winning a craptastic division with a weak schedule but it's not like the Chiefs played strong opponents either. Maybe I am underestimating how good KC is

 

[MetalMat]

I wonder if the "Fire Marvin Lewis" banners will fly if the Bengals lose. He does have a good excuse.....

 

[BUTCH1]

that's a bullshit call.

Make that 2, I thought the hit on the Pitt receiver was a hard lick but he did not contact his helmet first, he just hit him so hard he slid up his body. The "unspotsman" penalty was a total joke, hey ref's, it's a playoff game featuring 2 teams that hate each other and your gonna call a tiny push at play's end a 15yrd gift?

 

[MetalMat]

Jake Delhomme with the Panthers circa the 2008 season takes that crown, on his birthday no less

 

[Bird222]

That was a crazy catch!!

 

[lupi]

and how the fuck do you not flag that one then.

 

[BUTCH1]

Wow, what a smack, things are getting ugly, the natives are restless.

 

[lupi]

Hopefully they score here and rapistburger stays in the locker room.
