NFL Playoff Thread

I know Weeden would run downfield to block for bis RB if he could.

Shouldn't be hard even for Weeden given his running back is rarely more than 3.5 yards down field.

[Erie Warrior]

Peyton Manning is the best. Evah.

[Hikohadon]

This BAL-DEN game has the potential to be very entertaining, especially if the Horsie D doesn't wake up.

[British_Pharaoh]

Great first half. I have the Ravens on my accumulator and all my basketball results from last night came in. If the NFL results come in I'm up £315 (that's $57,890)

[Hikohadon]

Somebody replaced Champ Bailey with Eric Wright. That was a pick the second it left Flacco's hands, but Bailey decided for some reason to ignore the ball.

[Hikohadon]

I've seen this playoff game tons of times. Better team makes a bunch of mistakes and blows numerous chances to put the game away, loses game in end.

I'll be very surprised if Denver wins at this point.

i thought a pound was worth about $1.60? your math says a pound is worth $183.78 are you off by a few decimals points?

Whoever #26 is for the Broncos should be cut before he reaches the locker room.

Got caught looking at the short man. Terrible play.

[fairvis]

Man, BAL/DEN has been an absolute joy to watch. I was seriously hoping for a walk-off safety there.

[Lubber]

Peyton Manning is the best. Evah.

Except in crunch time when a pick usually happens

Flacco. 2 down, 2 to go

Don't see it. Not every team is gonna let him get away with those terrible throws.

[justmebd]

I really thought Flacco was going to throw a Pick 6, but I was wrong.

I completely misunderstood just how bad Denver's secondary is. Even if Denver would've pulled this one out, Belichick would've shredded that secondary into tiny little confetti.

[dpdad]

Hey, Tebow won in Denver last year, one of the best games of the season. Take that, Broncos!

[Hikohadon]

I would love to see someone legitimately try to use that as proof that Tebow is better than Manning.

I think that would be a good sign that it was time to disband the internet.

They should of kept Tebow and let Peyton play the 1st 3 quarters and then Tebow in 4th and OT. That team would be unstoppable.

It's this kind of out-of-the-box thinking that the NFL is sorely missing.

Bench one of the best 4th quarter clutch time QB's ever for Tim freakin' Tebow. Why has no one suggested this before?

[FUDU]

Game should have never seen OT, Broncos staff and DBs should find a bridge.

[noles1]

Lot of places to put blame for Denver but #18 certainly shares some.

Those 3rd down checkdowns into runs throughout the game were atrocious. Was like he wanted no part of throwing or having the ball in his hands in that weather.

That's 8 first playoff game exits for Manning in his career. That's a horrible statistic on him.

[FUDU]

Agree

I'm pretty sure Bayless has.

And we all just won another week of watching the NFL collectively fellate a killer. Sweet.

[municipalmutt]

It was sickening to hear Dan Dierdorf slobbering over stabbinkillerman, but then again ole Dan slobbers over pretty much everything.

[leadpipe]

Man, not sure if either team looked any good to me. Much of what Denver got credit for doing well.....again, it's been 3 months since they played a real team.

And Flacco...gotta give him some credit I guess, but he's chasing Eli Mannings record from his first Super Bowl year for "the most completed balls thrown up for grabs."

As far as Peyton goes, this is why he's not the best evah. Again, you just can't have the results he's had in the most important 20 games of your career and be the best.

[fairvis]

Kaepernick continues to make Harbaugh look good. Man, that was a pretty run.

[peeker643]

Colin Kaepernick.... Sigh.

My God.

[bac5665]

How were we the only team to miss on a QB this year? I mean it, how did that happen? It's things like that that make me want to believe in curses.

[fairvis]

Kaepernick was drafted in 2011. And much earlier then I thought he'd be (and everyone else as well). Wouldn't have minded a third-round flyer on him, SF decided to jump on him early in the 2nd. Just like I thought Wilson was drafted early by Seattle.

This is why I'm not a NFL personnel guy, and also why I hope the new Browns GM is the guy from San Fran.

Yes, that's right. It's hard to keep track of all the new QBs in the league. My bad.

[pup]

Before we all get crazy upset about Colin. Remember, Pat would have him under center for 98% of the plays and dumping balls to the backup TE on 3rd and 12.

[peeker643]

Fairvis and Pup are both right. Went higher than most thought and he'd have been neutered here. But good organizations recognize special talent. And then they develop it, nurture it and trust it.

Just like this new and improved org is about to do with their new head coach.

[fairvis]

I think that'll be the dagger. Team record for yards in a playoff game. And SF's been in a lot of those.

[jerryroche]

Four of the best the NFL has to offer on display today ... and the games look like the Arena Football League.

New NFL motto: "We don't need no stinkin' defense!"

[Lubber]

The better QB lost in both games today. Don't be surprised when it happens at least once tomorrow.

A lot of the credit in SF goes to Greg Roman for utilizing his players in the best way possible and maximizing the talent on offense

[OldDawg]

I am sick of Ray Lewis hamming up, over-dramatizing and writing his own farewell song. I don't mean how he's playing. Its everything else. Playing it all up. The ultimate punk of a human being. He is begging us to adore and idolize him. On the ground, crying after the game. Give me a break.

invoking God just is a step over the line, and classless.

"God was here for me tonight". Really Ray? God was there to help you win a dumb football game? There's better places for the good lord to be than on a football field, like I don't know, a war zone?

I realize that we as fans would kill for someone like that on our roster, warts and all, and it sure as hell doesn't help that the guy happens to play for a team that pretty much anyone with any ties to NEOhio happens to hate. But, it still amazes me that someone can be thought of as this amazing person after what this guy did.

I think more companies should get a new owner, change basically nothing about their methods and products, and call it "new and improved".

Ray walking around free and a multi millionaire might be an evidence point that if there is a god, he/she/they aren't paying attention.

Not sure what the point is Lub.

Did Manning lose cause Ray Rice went wild?

Rogers lost cause the opposing QB did. (And the opposing QB was better)

Now, I'm all ears if you got an argument for defense and running, cause they can jerk-off Ray Lewis all they want, we can talk about how good the Niners defense is (and they are), but at the end of the day, the QB wins these things.

Brady will lose today - if he gets outplayed by Schaub.

Not sure who the better QB in the Falcons/Seahawks game is - but the one who plays best - I'll go with that team.

Am I missing something?

[leadpipe]

And kinda like how the government should have better things to do than pay attention to gays getting married or baseball players using steroids...this God I'm sure has better things to do than give a shit about a bunch of guys running around a field bashing into each other in pursuit of a crooked ball.

Lotta wars and shit going on that he better be paying mind to.

[OldDawg]

Translation of every word Ray Lewis says: "Look at me... Aren't I great." Every word. He wants to write his own legacy. I can't stand listening to him.
Self-indulgent, self-promoting, self-invoking, self-centered, self-proclaimed, self-absorbed, self-serving, self-righteous.
I hope he self-destructs in the next game and is the goat.
Then maybe self-immolation.
Where will Ray go in the misconduct pool? Are draftee's "points" retroactive?

[noles1]

Is this for real with Fox? We don't get Gus Johnson, instean Brenneman and Billick?

This sucks.

[FUDU]

Atl looks like they're starting to claw the monkey off their back. Sometimes it just takes one game like this, then look out.

We'll see, but they've had the potential to be the best most dangerous for two years now.

[FUDU]

It's hard not to like this Seattle team.

You gotta a game now Atlanta.

[noles1]

44 seconds left, seattle has 3 and 5 at the ~30 yard line.

Billick actually said they could kick a FG and then get the onsides kick...

It is shocking how stupid that was and he wants to be a HC? Philly, really?

I agree PC has this young Seattle team playing very aggressive and they will be a force to reckon with for the next few years
