Seattle may not be my city, but being up here in the northwest, Portland adopts all the pro sports teams they have that we don't. I'm not deeply invested, but I'm sure as hell rooting for them through the playoffs.
However, while I may loosely be a Seattle fan, I hate the Cowboys with a passion the fires of hell don't burn with. The Hawks can lose 56 to 0 next game, I'll shrug, but seeing Dallas lose the way they did fills me with great joy. There was a lot of yelling and high fives going on at my place over all those pyscho last half plays. I would of rather TO botched the game, but anyone in a Cowboy uniform failing in such a grand manner is okay by me. |
I swear the Chiefs game was near-scandalous...I mean, they must've been trying to lose. That's fine...Let's see Peyton throw some interceptions next week. Chris McAlister and Ed Reed will both be glad to take 'em to the house! Colts die next week...
Poor Romo...People in the Northeast hate Dallas too, but I was pulling for them just because they were underdogs VS last year's NFC champs. I won't shed a tear for them, but I was staring in disbelief well after the game ended. I mean, the game was OVER! Dallas had WON! And they LOST! Crazy shit... |
If the Patriots win Sunday, things are looking bright for the Ravens. We're playing a team notorious for playoff chokes at home with the possibility of having the Pats topple the Chargers so we won't have to travel to San Diego.
Superbowl prediction: Ravens 31 - Saints 3 |
God.....that Cowboys game literally broke my spirit. I was supposed to go to the club and shit after that and I just....went home and went to sleep, it was so damn depressing.
The only thing I can say is.....maybe Romo comes back next year with some hair on his balls. He's for all intents and purposes a rookie QB. They make mistakes....even ones of epic proportions like this. |
Wow that was some ending in Seattle. Botched snaps seem to be the way teams are going out.. It costed the Bengals a potential playoff spot, the Giants a win a few years back and now the Cowboys.

Asante Samuel got another INT for a TD. Sass and I LOLed.

Eagles beat Giants 23 - 20...believe it or not...another Football game this year, dependent on a field goal

It's worth noting that, when setting up my bracket, I changed my mind about the Eagles-Giants and gave it to for the Eagles. So, after a regular season where the underdogs won 55% of the time, none of them win in the first round of the playoffs. Gamblers must be breathing a little easier, even if two of the games came down to field goals (one that was botched and one that was made). I feel bad for Tony Romo after watching that fuck-up, but then he should've tried a little harder to elude tacklers. I'm not sold on the Colts just yet. They're going to Baltimore (where it's expected to be unseasonably warm but shitty weather) and the entire team has been heating up (including Jamal Lewis). Of course, I can't sell myself on the Ravens either (MCNAIR :(). We'll have to see what the conditions are. The only game I'm worried about is Patriots @ Chargers. I'll buy experience over n00bs and a shitty coach most days, but the Pats have been beaten by the run and, in case you hadn't heard, the Chargers have a record-breaking MVP running back in his prime itching to take his game to prime time. |
What's wrong with McNair? The guy's done nothing but win since coming to Baltimore. I have as much confidence in him as I would Brady or Manning (okay, REGULAR season Manning!). It's not like we need to put up 6 TD's per game...He gets the job done, even if his numbers aren't sparkling. Remember: He has a win over the Chargers this year.

McNair has at least gotten to a superbowl, more than Manning can say to this point. If Manning throws 3 interceptions again, or makes too many mistakes, he won't be fortunate enough to be playing Trent Green who decided to play it too safe and avoid his receivers all day (granted, there were drops, but that doesn't excuse his performance). McNair has plenty of playoff experience, and he doesn't have to put it all on his shoulders. It'll be a tight game, but I like the Ravens in this one.

Man that game was too close for me. I knew it was going to be close though because Eagles Giants games are always dogfights. Next up we got a huge challenge on our hands. It won't be easy. It is the Eagles vs the world in this game. Everyone is pulling for NO because of katrina and because of the cinderella story.

Eagles played solid...The Ravens killed the Saints pretty badly even with their "home field advantage", so that looks about dead even to me, much like Eagles vs Giants were. I'll pick...:cow: ...Saints by a field goal. Have to hand it to the Eagles for not throwing in the towel with McNabb gone. That'll be interesting to sort out in the off-season...Congrats if they make it to the Finals or better. Best weekend of football: Coming next week! The worst game will probably be Seattle vs Bears and that's last year's NFC champs vs a 13-3 team still. That's Grossman's game to win or loss. I'm feeling upset there. Oh, and I like Pats over Chargers. Give that one...Hmm, Pats by a TD and a field goal. |
I can't imagine the Seahawks beating the Bears. It'd be like the Chargers losing to the Raiders.
(P.S.: Don't get me wrong; I want the Colts to lose. Colts vs. Patriots in AFC Championship = 7 days of "WAAAAAAAH MANNING VERSUS PATRIOTS AND HIMSELF WILL HE BREAK THROUGH?????") |
I can imagine the Seahawks making it a close game, thanks to Rex being a fuckwad and throwing 3+ intercepts again, some returned for TDs. Seattle should really try giving their defense a little more time on the field and take the lead, then just rush with Alexander or throw to Branch for some big plays.
I hope that Peyton gets his ass handed to him by the Baltimore defense. Enough said. McNair is just doing too damn good this year (well, except the game he lost vs the Broncos :) ). Perhaps Peyton will make a new commercial after he loses, quoting "I suck" instead of "D-fence". Eagles vs Saints ... I'm rooting for both teams because I want Garcia to have the best playoff game of his life, but I also want Drew Brees to have a good game as well. They'll probably set up Bush to be the decoy on the field a couple times and try throwing to Horn or screen to McCallister. I'd have to say that with LT, the Chargers can win at any time in the game. Let's face it - LT has won several games by himself single-handedly. However, Brady being the veteran 3-time Superbowl winner, the Patriots will give the Chargers a run for their money. Oh yeah, remember that its Bill Bellachick vs Marty Schottenheimer. Marty KNOWS how to screw up playoff games like he's done in the past, but his players are still too damn good to allow the Patriots to take the lead late game by a field goal. |
Both of the AFC match ups have me excited for the weekend. Colts v. Ravens and Patriots v. Chargers should both be good games.
NFC...not so much. I don't care for the Seattle/Chicago or New Orleans/Philly one. Maybe the latter a bit, but I'm not as excited to watch those two like the two AFC games. On that note, I'm pretty sure it's the AFC coming away with the SB win again this year. |
Ooooh, if the Pats have to kick a late clutch field goal, there are going to be a lot of heart attacks in Patriots Nation. Gostkowski is not nearly as reliable as #4 was.

Ryuu, the AFC games have me pumped as well. I'm looking forward to the Ravens D vs. Manning matchup. Should be extremely fun to watch. The Chargers/Pats should be interesting, particularly because Rivers will be making his first playoff start which could mean trouble for the Chargers. |

Pretty cool video of some guy who was at the Eagles/Giants game in the stands recording Akers' game winning kick. |
Apparently both the San Diego Chargers and the Chicago Bears are hoping to achieve MAXIMUM HOME-FIELD ADVANTAGE++ by limiting ticket sales to their respective divisional playoff games to people within a certain area surrounding the stadium.

Anyway, it's a cute idea, since home-field advantage is really only limited to your fans and the noise level they can produce. Since there's an ton of Patriots fans out there, it probably won't impact the game too much. It really ultimately shows that the team isn't worried if they don't have enough fans to fill the stadium and make it look like someone cares the Chargers are in the playoffs, just as long as they keep the other team from benefiting from it. |
Some douche predicts a Baltimore-New Orleans Super snorefest.
Here's what I predict as the order of most to least appealing Super Bowl matchups, BTW:
I got bored with the last 7. I'm obviously not interested in seeing the Seahawks in the Super Bowl, and Philadelphia is not that exciting a team without Donovan McNabb. |

Some of my family say they are going to Miami if they go the Super Bowl hehe. Oh he is cousin by the way on my moms side. Only 1 year older then me =p I am happy he got 60,000 extra dollars for the two playoff games so far. Insane. |
Ridiculous defensive game in Baltimore today. 6 TOs. 4 by Baltimore (though that last fumble by McNair really wasn't big in my mind as McNair acted/knew the game was over), and 2 by the Colts (Manning INTs again).
Vinatieri was best described by Dungy - "Money." 5 FGs. |
Wow Manning actually made it past the second round of the playoffs?
