Picks so predictable, I copied and pasted someone else's.

I see the pats winning first 2 playoff games, at the very least.

both of your predictions are impossible.

[Cole]

chiefs > colts
patriots > jets

chargers > patriots
ravens > chiefs

chargers > ravens

[DAntae]

both of your predictions are impossible.

what do you mean...if the jets lose they cant play the next week. no sir I think you are mistaken. ahahahah

[smyce]

Damn, I was in a hurry at the public library. Damn internet is down at home.

I edited both.

[DAntae]

smyce for the record I had just taken a hydraco (spelling?) for leg pain...so everything struck me as funny about that time.

[StrideR]

Intercepted!

[StrideR]

What a waste of a golden opportunity.

[The mayor of Albuquerque]

yardage: 255-16; first downs: 15-0. 9 points is all they can get?

[Roarke]

damn you ty law.

[Dead Nigga Storage]

is that 5 playoff picks for law against manning? that must be a record.

[Mayor Quimby]

Late picks I know sue me.

Chiefs over Colts
Pats over Jets

Ravens over Pats
Chargers over Chiefs

Ravens over Chargers

[StrideR]

You're still picking the Chiefs over the Colts?

[Mayor Quimby]

I'm either holding out hope, or just admitting thats who I had before the game started.

[StrideR]

Actually, if the offense keeps up their performance from the most recent drive and the defense maintains theirs, they might just be able to beat Manning & co. in the 4th.

Yeah... captain obvious... I know.

[Green_Peaness]

Wow...that was boring.

Rushing ATT YDS AVG LG TD
Larry Johnson 13 32 2.5 6 0

[-AW-]

Manning wins, what an easy game for him :P

[pat]

i really underestimated the colts today, especially the defense. figured the colts' horrible rushing defense plus the chiefs having larry johnson in the backfield would be enough for the chiefs to pull off the upset.

[StrideR]

Any coach with half a brain would have prepared a defense specifically for Larry Johnson, especially the colts knowing their own weakness. A half decent passing game for the Chiefs would have been enough for said upset.

[nathaniel]

colts fumble their punt, chiefs takeover
green sacked
green sacked
couple lame screen passes
pushed over the first down line by colts
green sacked; fumbles

maybe the worst 5 minutes of football ive ever watched right there

and the worst playoff game ive seen in a long time

[Spartan]

http://i.cnn.net/si/si_online/covers/images/2005/1017_large.jpg

that means six straight postseason losses for KC is a new record.

do da heisman.

[thecapecoddah]

and the chargers' reward after their bye week is the new england patriots, wooooohoooooo

bring it on, LT & company

[doyle]

pennington was impressive today. they just couldn't get things done in the red zone, and that backward pass was a huge turning point.
pats can't have sluggish second and third quarters like they had in this one next week, though.

[-AW-]

lol, I'll be honest, the NFC was more fun to watch, but it'll be interesting to see the old Baltimore team take on the new one :)

[Timothy]

Is anyone else really excited about the two AFC matchups next week?


Indy v. Balt

Offense v. Defense


New England v. San Diego

Two very good teams with tons of subplots.


Should be two awesome games; by contrast, neither of the NFC games seem that appealing. Seattle-Chicago, blech.

Especially looking forward to the New England game. I think they come out on top: Offensively, I think they'll be able to run the ball effectively enough to take some pressure off the passing game, and they'll be able to put up enough points to win.

The defensive side is the more interesting matchup (isn't is always with the Patriots?) IMO. New England's D-line/front seven did a great job of getting into the backfield yesterday, completely shutting down the Jets' running attack and harassing Pennington all game. Seymour seemed especially disruptive - he was all over the fucking place. You have to believe that they'll be able to limit - if not shut down completely - LT and force Rivers to win it through the air. And therein, I feel, lies the rub - how effective can Rivers be against New England's secondary? I think that will be the key battle of the game, and if the Patriots had their secondary at full strength, I'd say they would win.

Another interesting thing to watch will be how the Chargers respond if they go down early. I know they had amazing comebacks against Cincy and Denver, but one could argue that that was before they had become such overpowering favorites, before all of the pressure was on them, before everyone started "crowning their ass", so to speak, and that they might act differently this time around.

During the Pats/Jets game today, they ran a stat that said that "The Pats' defense has allowed 0 points on opening-game drives in the playoffs under Bellichek". I wonder how Rivers/Marty react if the Pats lead early: will Rivers regress ala Rothlisberger in his first playoffs? Will Marty wrestle control of the plays from his coordinators? Will Rivers/Marty choke under the pressure? It's going to be a great game, for sure.

[box elder]

so, i'm 4/4 so far. reeeeeeaaally hope that trend continues and baltimore goes down next week. did i mention my intense hatred for brian billick?

[Dead Nigga Storage]

am i the only one that thinks he looks like john cleese did in the 60s?

[box elder]

haha. i can see that. then there's this:

worst year :(

[DAntae]

so, i'm 4/4 so far. reeeeeeaaally hope that trend continues and baltimore goes down next week. did i mention my intense hatred for brian billick?

trying to steal my billick disgust thunder...well I guess there is plenty to go around. part that pisses me off the most, ravens are good enough to run the table now.

[Mayor Quimby]

I actually think Billick's a brilliant offensive minded coach. He just really hasn't had the same players he had with the Vikings.

I took the Ravens to run the table. I'm fired up about all of the potential Ravens matchups, except in the Super Bowl.

Ravens vs. Peyton Manning
then
Ravens vs. LT
or
Ravens vs. Brady/and Bill Belichek

[DAntae]

billick had success in minnesota...but has never had an offense even close to that in baltimore (number wise). he has had enouh talent to put up better numbers over the years than they have. problem isn't so much if whether he is good or not, its the arrogance the man has in himself.

[:bang:]

just give billick another 7 seasons, then he'll get the players

[box elder]

yeah, no shit. he's the head coach. he's the one who went and got elvis grbac for christ's sake. let's not keep calling him an offensive genius just because he says he's one.

[Mayor Quimby]

I'm not calling him an offensive genius because he said it himself, I'm just saying that Minnesota hasn't come close to replicating the offensive success they had under him. I think that he is no more arrogant than Bill Belichick.

[sacrelicious]

Wow, any of the 4 teams that are left could win the super bowl. Much different than the NFC at the moment.

Still going with the Chargers. LT is the best player in football.

[:bang:]

I'm not calling him an offensive genius because he said it himself, I'm just saying that Minnesota hasn't come close to replicating the offensive success they had under him. I think that he is no more arrogant than Bill Belichick.
uh, culpepper to moss was pretty fucking explosive. dude at 39 td passes in 2004 for fucks sake

[StrideR]

Wait, what's this about Belichick being arrogant?

[Spartan]

couldn't tell from all the espn NFL programming talking about how unfortunate san diego is to play boston, they can't keep up, LT record, 14-2, ten straight wins won't matter, blahblahblah

pats.ravens is apparently the agenda being pushed.

[Burnin']

pats and colts into the next round

[thecapecoddah]

hey football gods, bring me colts vs. pats at indy. k thx


gotta see these two titans collide once again, just like the niners/cowboys in the 90's

[DAntae]

yeah but san fran eventually made good one of those years against them...colts not so much, unless this is the year. I am totally rooting for a ravens loss. other game I am pretty good with whoever wins. would rather see the chargers but whatever.

[chibully]

New England over the Jets
Indianapolis over KC

San Diego over New England
Baltimore over Indianapolis

San Diego over Baltimore


this guy's got it right. well, we know the first round winners lol. although i do think he is right the rest of the way.

they'll both be close. sd over ne 31-27. bal over indy 28-24

[Spartan]

he pulled zero upsets. chalk as hell, and likely ain't gonna happen.

[kevin]

ravens will win this conference. with that defense and a solid, efficient if not spectacular offense, they have got to be the favorites.

[thecapecoddah]

I really don't think there's a favorite among these four teams... maybe chargers slightly based on how great a season they had

these are the top 4 out of 5 or 4 out of 6 teams in football

[StrideR]

I still love how easily people like to bet against NE in the face of superstars.

[Spartan]

you can drop that angle now.

[StrideR]

Ohnoes!

[kevin]

great first half. field goal battle.

[StrideR]

This game needs more touchdown.

[kevin]

no way. awesome game as is.

[StrideR]

Yeah, if you're Adam Vinateri.

This game is over... if Pats win tomorrow, I predict Superbowl No. 4.

[mayo]

what a yawner

[kevin]

if the colts keep playing d like they have in the past two games, i'd take them over whoever they face in the afc title game.

[Spartan]

Yeah, if you're Adam Vinateri.

This game is over... if Pats win tomorrow, I predict Superbowl No. 4.

lol

with maroney going with what? 29 yards? dillon 45?

[Dead Nigga Storage]

yawner indeed. try to spin it if you want, but field goals are boring after a while, and both QBs played like ass.

[kuumuus]

this was a great game. i don't care what anyone says. am now rooting for the pats tomorrow so we can see the colts fail once again

[kevin]

jesus guys. DEFENSIVE BATTLES don't mean anything to you? i thought it was a great game.

[StrideR]

lol

with maroney going with what? 29 yards? dillon 45?

And the 15 receivers Brady's going to throw to, yeah.

[Dead Nigga Storage]

jesus guys. DEFENSIVE BATTLES don't mean anything to you? i thought it was a great game.i like defensive battles too, but until the last 7 minutes of the 4th it was equal part shitty offenses and mistakes as it was defensive battling. and defensive battles ARE allowed to have a touchdown or two.

[StrideR]

Marino, Shannon et al must be feeling really sheepish right about... now!

[Roarke]

when did strider become bill simmons?

no matter who wins in san diego, should be a heart attack game next week. looking forward to it.

gee, steve mcnair's first really bad playoff performance comes under the "offensive genius" billick....whoda thunk it?

fuck the ravens.

i dont know if ive ever rooted AGAINST a team so hard, at least not lately

i enjoyed it, but i can see if you didnt have a rooting interest finding it boring

anyway, go teamroarke

[DAntae]

it was hard for me...entire family was rooting for the ravens...however when mcnair through the 2nd int I did let out a wooohooo. come on man, colts stepped up and their defense was just as stout as baltimore. not sure why they didnt run lewis more...billick is mediocre at best, hope this game showed that to people.

colts or chargers winning the afc will make me smile.

[Dead Nigga Storage]

tomlinson is ridiculous.

[thecapecoddah]

this game is ridiculous. holy shit

[kevin]

exceptional four games this weekend. none disappointed.

[thecapecoddah]

the best team in the NFL is gone... jesus christ that was a ridiculously tough game to win



hey indy, are ya ready for a war?!

[Dead Nigga Storage]

i don't know whether to congratulate the patriots or spit on the chargers, because it's hard to say who was more responsible for the pats' win. chargers looked giant-esque with penalties and fumbles.

[StrideR]

:-O

Was that nailbiting or what?
Comedy of errors. That has to be among Brady's worst playoff wins ever.

[doyle]

good lord, what a game.
32 passes for rivers, 23 runs for tomlinson. the chargers balanced their playcalling perfectly throughout, despite the fact that the patriots couldn't stop lt with 12 men and chargers receivers werre dropping passes all over the place. that contributed as much as anything.

great play by troy brown to force that fumble after the interception. a huge turning point.

[Orange-Neck]

Great, we get another week of the media sucking off Tom Brady even though he played like shit. I hope Indy molests them next week.

[mayo]

same could be said for peyton manning.

holy shit, what a game. brady sucked. but he stepped up. good thing the defense was sharp enough to keep the pats in it.

[Dead Nigga Storage]

except the media doesn't fellate peyton, come playoff time. they do, however, consistently keep their mouths planted on brady's cock around now. they both played poorly, but only brady will get his dick sucked over it by ESPN.

[thecapecoddah]

heh, pretty rare to see si.com and espn.com using the same main page headline BTW.

[kevin]

might be crazy, but i like indy. they're at home, and they have everything rolling at th right time. should be a great game, though.

It is hard to say, but I'd rather spit on the Chargers. They looked like the better team throughout the game to me, and if Marty hadn't challenged, I bet they would've won :(

[StrideR]

Tomlinson deserved to win it today. Still it's Pats and Indy next week, and I'm still going to go with Pats, Brady's performance today notwithstanding.

Well, TDs do count for something these days.

[Dead Nigga Storage]

wins count more.

other than that, they both had roughly the same performance this week, and the same result: a win with a shitty game from the QB. brady also threw more INTs, if you want to make this a shallow battle of stats, though. point being NEITHER deserves a hint of praise for their performances this weekend.

I agree and disagree. Neither of them should be proud of how they played. Brady was jittery and made costly mistakes, ultimately relying on luck, his own team's defensive plays and errors of the opposing team, same as Manning. However, coming from behind to beat San Diego at home is no easy feat, especially when the Chargers defense seemed to have a solution for NE's passing and rushing game from the get go.

[Dead Nigga Storage]

but the comeback had little to nothing to do with what BRADY did, which is why i hate the media's reaction to every win he got. if the man was 2-2 in career post season appearances or something to that effect, there wouldn't be a person discussing brady getting a win today. it would be STRICTLY about the chargers blowing the game. brady needed second chances or charger miscues ALL game to get the results he got. the espn article about today's game is almost all about brady stepping up in the clutch and doing what matters, with the caption below his photo noting only the 280 yard, 2TD performance, and not the 3 costly interceptions, or inability to ever hit his stride.

[StrideR]

Eh... the drive that ended the first half, the long pass to Caldwell in the 4th and that 2 pt. conversion. Those were clutch plays. You can also argue that NE made the most of the slim pickin's they were afforded by the Chargers.

I do agree articles so far have underplayed the contribution of SD's penalties and errors to the win. Even less mention has been made of the offensive line that pretty much removed Merriman from the picture.

[Dead Nigga Storage]

fuck merriman. he never got enough shit for the steroids, and he's already back to being glamorized.

the two point conversion wasn't brady's, though. and the touchdown he got to tie the game was the result of being given the ball back off a charger fumble. but i've given up on objective sports media.

[StrideR]

He orchestrated that extra point play and did his part by faking the high snap.

I agree with you that final touchdown drive was off the SD fumble and in little way attributed to Brady's prowess as a QB.

[Spartan]

He orchestrated that extra point play and did his part by faking the high snap.

everyone's been taught to sell that, whether it be a fake or direct snap, since junior high.

[StrideR]

Your point is?

[Dead Nigga Storage]

the play was not something to give any credit to brady for. faulk made sure not to move a second to soon, saw the outside wasn't open, found his opening up the middle, and made the play. i think that was his point.

[StrideR]

Fine, I'll concede then, brilliant play by Faulk, the snapper, the offensive line and everyone else except Tom Brady.

[Dead Nigga Storage]

hahahaha. hardly the point. it just merely wasn't an example of anything brady did right. if the chargers could hold onto the ball, you were looking at a 1TD, 3INT day. as is, he ends up with something like a 54 rating which very well reflects his state of play. the articles written for the game don't match what happened IN the game. i think that's all anyone here meant.

[thecapecoddah]

with the caption below his photo noting only the 280 yard, 2TD performance, and not the 3 costly interceptions, or inability to ever hit his stride.

from a journalism point of view, a caption below a smiling brady mentioning 3 picks and his below average performance would be pretty damn laughable and confuse the reader.

I would love to see an article you would write about the game, because even if you focus on the chargers choking you still, no matter what, need to give the winning team & its star(s) their due in the beginning of the article.

[Orange-Neck]

I think Manning and Brady will continue to play like ass next week. It will probably come down to who doesn't fuck it up at the end for their team.

[:bang:]

brady sux lol

[StrideR]

I think Manning and Brady will continue to play like ass next week. It will probably come down to who doesn't fuck it up at the end for their team.

I dunno. Colts are playing at home, while Brady has never lost in a dome. It really comes down to how much pressure each defense can mount against the quarterbacks. As good as the Colts' D has been lately, I don't think they can pulverize the Pats offensive line. The Pats are likely going to play to keep Manning off the field as long as possible and the defense is going to be less focused on the colts running game than it was with the Chargers, so Addai might have some room to breathe in this game.

and yeah, you can write about the winning team in the article (and should), but it's a lot of bull to pretend the game wasn't 75% charger-choke, 25% patriots doing something about charger-choke.

[Cole]

chris berman has a raging boner right now. i'm interested to see how the colts d performs (given their playoff improvements) and if the patriots will rely again on brady's arm or attempt a more aggressive running attack.

i guess i'm rooting for the patriots, even though i did want to see the chargers win the afc.

[DAntae]

I am pulling for the colts...would love to see manning get his shot at the big game. dungey as well, pats annoy me even more. jesus just interecept the pass and get down...then the chargers win. dammit get down after the int.

you're so horrible.

[doyle]

what are you basing this on? i don't see any reason why this shouldn't be a shootout.

[kevin]

i'm rooting for the colts here. mainly because i don't want to face the pats in the superbowl, but also because i like peyton and i'm tired of new england dominance.

[Spartan]

a good as time as any...

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v109/thespartan117/rivers.jpg

[Cole]

peyton has caused my teams trouble since his college days. brady cost my college team a bowl win and ended my nfl team's playoff hopes once (i believe). he's the lesser of two evils. the saints are the only remaining team i care for at all. the pats have won too much and i'm on the fence about chicago.

a sick part of me loves it when peyton is referred to as a "numbers quarterback" and i enjoy making douchetastic statements like "atleast marino went to a super bowl.

[StrideR]

Don't worry. In about 10 years or so, when Brady/Belichick retires, you can have your superbowl back.

For a sixth round draft pick that no one gave a hope of getting anywhere, playing for a team that was written off, Brady deserves every ring he can get.

[Spartan]

few franchises are ever written off...they were AFC champs within a spitting distance from 2000. hardly forgotten. wonder what that would have made indy in 1998.

but he was pretty meh at michigan, considering he was just more or less a system QB.

[StrideR]

Eh... let me rephrase that as a team that was cursed with mediocrity.

all this in the span of about 10-15 minutes. outstanding

i haven't been this excited watching a game between two teams i don't care either way about in a long time. incredible game

YAY COLTS, taking the lead! the superbowl should be incredibly tense.

I completely agree. That was fun.

[StrideR]

Good comeback for a well deserved win.

[Cole]

great game. colts v. bears should be an exciting super bowl.

[doyle]

what a game. i haven't been this crushed in years.
lots of things just didn't go right at critical times. troy brown pass interference. pats playing prevent just before halftime. getting the ball back with three minutes left and calling three passes. big plays to dwight clark. lack of pass rush.
pats just couldn't hold them in that second half and indy deserved it.

go bears. should be a good game.

[Andy]

Yeah, that was probably the most exciting AFC playoff game I've ever seen (possible exclusion: Music City Miracle).

SEE YOU IN FLORIDA, INDY

also pretty neat that the last time these two teams played in the RCA dome, the patriots won 38-34. a role reversal here.

i haven't been this excited watching a game between two teams i don't care either way about in a long time. incredible game

agreed. i was shaking a little bit at the end, something that only happens when i'm watching the seahawks. such an incredible game. these playoffs have been awesome.

congrats to peyton and the colts. well earned win, and hate to say - they deserved it

now i'm going to avoid watching espn for the next two weeks.

[the 'house always wins]

crazy game. nice to see peyton prove he's not worthless.

did anyone else find it amusing when Sterling Sharpe remarked that if Peyton lost he should get a house in A-Rod's neighborhood, because he has all the stats and no championships...with Marino sitting right there :LOL:

"We have word from Indy. It's official, the Patriots dynasty died at 10:25 pm eastern time, some 30 minutes ago."

where's my new signature, spartan. bring it

[Roarke]

what a game. i haven't been this crushed in years.
lots of things just didn't go right at critical times. troy brown pass interference. pats playing prevent just before halftime. getting the ball back with three minutes left and calling three passes. big plays to dwight clark. lack of pass rush.
pats just couldn't hold them in that second half and indy deserved it.

go bears. should be a good game.

dallas clark.

i had five heart attacks over that game. omigod.

[:bang:]

good game, nice to see peyton win this one

laser, rocket arm and all

hey boomer, who's gonna join a-rod? http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v109/thespartan117/colts_pats_03.jpg
big words coming from a quarterback with an all time three winning seasons. i would say that prediction choked.

hey pats. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v109/thespartan117/brady_belichick.jpg
have fun.
hey, do your best manning face, brady.

thanks bro.

that peyton manning. what a fucking chokejob of a leader. and the colts, i mean good lord. how many opportunities could they ever get. i have no idea what espn will do with themselves this week, with the patriots...beat...for the third straight time by those backwards colts. i wonder if the colts owning pats angle will ever be used. or maybe...could peyton ever win a BIG game?

nah. just the biggest championship game comeback...you know...ever.

but at least new england lost in this year's super bowl. chicago is just an extra point.

[Spartan]

oh, eric.

why? at worst it'll just be a good game good game good game, see you next year.

[kuumuus]

if spartan's last two posts aren't reason enough for this entire forum to root against the colts, i don't know what is.

[kevin]

wow. and spartan routinely yells at me for over-celebrating.

[Sniper Squirrel]

I'm just glad to see both teams at the top of their game, not like the Bears/Saints blow-out

[Cole]

spartan's post made me throw up a little bit in my mouth. i've changed my mind. go bears.

[IdRathaHavaBeer]

Yeah, that was probably the most exciting AFC playoff game I've ever seen (possible exclusion: Music City Miracle).

:(

[doyle]

pats and their fans have no class.

[Spartan]

:-$

[Roarke]

for what it's worth, i don't by any means consider this an 'extra-point' like my lovable co-fan. grossman and our kwazy run defense just about cancel each other out.

i will probably go celebration overboard danno-style if the colts pull it off, however. no fault can be found there, i think.

you mean the post game? didn't watch that.
