NFL playoff time, who is your bet?

[Sluggo42]

We just have to put on a light windbreaker.

Lol, that's what I have to do when it gets below 60* down here in SoCal...

[RookieBlue7]

I'm finally catching up on this thread. Geez I had to hit up Google out of curiosity after reading this commemt.

 

I know the Xbox thing was on his instagram, but when did Wilson declare them in the Superbowl cause I can't find it anywhere?

I saw it shared from a Seahawks page on FB

[RookieBlue7]

Russell Wilson NEVER would say anything like that. He is a robot when standing in front of the mic, and is always politically correct. Always compliments the other team, always spreads the love to every player/coach, on both teams.

 

He is the most boring interview available, and it love the guy...

It came from a Seahawks page, so take it FWIW. Just because you're a fan/nuthugger doesn't mean your players can't say stupid stuff. Just ask Matt Hassleback "we want the ball and we're gonna win".

 

And I've now decided that I hope Brees gets his revenge for a few years ago. I hate the Saints too. But Seahawks fans in the last few days have gotten on my nerves. That and the Saints fan taking being spit on in Philadelphia and whipping a duds butt just because he was at the game. Here's to them drilling your Hawks in the mouth then hopefully losing the following week. These new Seahawks fans are more and more obnoxious as the days go by .

[RookieBlue7]

They have several pages Richard. If I get time I'll track it down

[revkev]

I've gotta say that the commercial with the Seahawks fan is great. That was the best wild card round ever. Usually it's the next round that produces those kind of games. Could luck or Wilson emerge as that guy?

 

Great stuff. Just so everyone knows I like st Ben on the football field. I like Rodgers too and didn't give it a second thought. I'm watching because of the football. I don't watch tiger because I think he's a great guy I watch him because he's a great golfer. I'm intrigued by his quest to take down my man jack.

[Sluggo42]

I will enjoy the seahawks winning ever so much more now! Thanks RP and Rookie!

[MattF]

Who said my 9ers can't handle cold weather??

[JohnBarry]

Well, have to amend my prediction:

 

Denver vs New Orleans

 

winner: Manning!

[Sluggo42]

If the niners make it, they will have accomplished a severe task to go on the road to beat 3 very good teams. That would be a tremendous run against the odds. I am hopeful that the hawks beat the saints! and the 49ers beat Carolina, so the NFC championship game comes to the Clink in Seattle. Culminating in a drubbing of the 49ers of course, followed by a trip to nYork for a drubbing of the "forehead"

When is the last time that the number 1 seed won the Super Bowl?

My family demands I go with the Patriots

[Sluggo42]

That's right RP, Best record means squat from now on. Who is hot, TODAY, moves on. You can tell the hits are a little bit harder now with a higher number of injuries per game now. Every play has more meaning.

 

The last drive of the packer game was one inch away from a game ending interception! and a few inches away from a blocked field goal. One could say the niners were very lucky to get that win, but so far, each came has come down to an inch or two/ one play or two, that would have swung the balance the other way.

 

This is not the time to be thinking you're special, it's the time to actually BE special, and to make that pick, or block that kick.cuz if you don't, your season is probably over. Don't be the one and done!

[revkev]

I think part if the injury thing is that the regular rules appear to be suspended.

[GolfSpy WD]

Very wise. I'll root for the Pats, but they really have to hope the cold weather will affect Manning. They've been decimated by injuries, first half of the game, and murder. The Pats can certainly beat any of the teams out there, but any of the AFC games can go either way.

 

The NFC seems a bit tougher with the Seahawks the clear favorites.

[GolfSpy WD]

I really like how they're far more conservative about calling penalties during the playoffs. The teams can finally play ball.

[JBones]

It's been an epic start to the playoffs so far.  Can't wait to see whats in store for next weekend.

[JohnBarry]

Yes, play let them play "tackle" football!!

[Sluggo42]

Well, it appears that a certain little fellah will be a full go for the Hawks on Saturday. I haven't really seen him much as he has been injured all year, but they say he is pretty decent player.

 

Percy Harvin, ever heard of him?

[Paul S]

What Randall Cobb has become for Green Bay reminds me of Harvin. They're great players.

[Sluggo42]

Man I can't stand waiting for this game, but it's supposed to rain, 100%, as well as 20-30 mph winds.... Gahhhhhhh.

But I doubt Brees is really thrilled about that weather report either...

 

Beastmode time...

[HighFade]

Indy @NE

This is tough one. It could go either way. I have to give a very slight edge to NE. 28-24 NE

 

NO @ Seattle

Depends on how well NO defense will hold up. It won't.

34-21 Seattle

 

SF @ Carolina

SF defense will contain Newton.

21-10 SF

 

SD @ Denver

Manning gets revenge. SD keeps up, until 4th quarter.

34-24 Denver

Got the first two! Good job...

[HighFade]

3 for 4, and Denver's looking good.

[Sluggo42]

Ok, next week won't be quite so easy, what ya got?

 

Finals

Seattle vs patriots

[HighFade]

Challenge Accepted

 

NE @ Den

A shootout, but most drives end with field goals

27-23 Denver

 

SF @ Seattle

A blowout. C Kaep tosses 3+ picks

41-16 Seattle

Wish I didn't agree with you.

 

I'm going to ignore my gut though and say 31 - 28 Pats. I also really hope SF wins in this scenario.

[MattF]

9ers, the Quest for Six continues!

[JohnBarry]

Denver in a close one, with a ton of running in the windy cold 24-21

 

Seahawk's corners are too much for the super taleted 49ers recieving core, and Lynch is the difference with both QB's tossing 2 picks. Hawks  17-13

[GolfSpy Barbajo]

Have learned the hard way never to count the Pats out this year.  31-29 Pats - last second field goal.  

 

Seattle over SF in a nail-biter - 34 -14

[RookieBlue7]

Pats 42-30. Denver's starting corner Harris tears his ACL? Yeah, Brady is gonna shred that D. Manning lives up to his choke artist legacy and Brady moves to 11-4 overall and 3-1 in the playoffs head to head.

 

Don't care who wins between the Niners and Seachickens. I'll take the Seachickens because Marshawn Lynch is the better back. Right about now is when the 9ers could use Lattimore's power running. Not sure if I'm more annoyed by Harbaugh and the thug Crapernick they have at QB or the new Seachickens fans that are popping up. Did find it funny the Seachicks won't sell tickets to anyone with a Cali zip code.
