Divisional Playoffs Other Games Thread

[mraynrand]

Aw, who the hell cares? Gronk, Alex Smith, that tuck rule QB. Yawn.

[mraynrand]

This one may not remain competetive

[smuggler]

A-Z, the Chiefs are a better team. But, Alex Smith...

[denverYooper]

Each team scored twice. One team is down 8. It's a one score game.

Football is funny like that.

[denverYooper]

A-Z, the Chiefs are a better team. But, Alex Smith...

How many times have the Chiefs edge rushers been just a hair late getting to Brady? It looks like they're getting steered around the outside just enough for Brady to step up. They need to start taking those rushes inside.

Also... it's good to have Gronk.

Kelce is no slouch either. I bet Brady could do a lot more damage with Kelce than Smith can.

[Patler]

A team that punts from the opponents 37 deserves to lose.

[denverYooper]

Woof. Life is tough as a road dog when you give the ball away.

[Cheesehead Craig]

I'm not seeing much that tells me that KC is going to come back in this one. Unless NE gets turnover happy, they win.

[woodbuck27]

No kidding.

[woodbuck27]

In their heads:

B and B aren't losing this game since the day after KC humiliated them so so long ago.

In actuality KC as of that nice series and TD ....are very much in it as the 3rd QTR. nears an end.

[denverYooper]

Gotta hang on to that pick, Peters. The Chiefs' CB dropped a gamechanging INT.

[denverYooper]

Chandler Jones looking a little spicy there on that play.

[George Cumby]

Who is KCs DC?

[red]

this is how you play prevent d

kc needs 2 tds, and the pats let them have like a 8 minute drive

let the other team run out the clock for you

kc time management is terrible

[Cheesehead Craig]

No kidding. That drive was horrible. Took way way way too much time.

[red]

No kidding. That drive was horrible. Took way way way too much time.

and there was no urgency from any chiefs

everyone staying in bounds, not getting the play called before the 2 minute warning

just pathetic. like they didn't want to win, or they thought there was another quarter

[denverYooper]

And Pats get a break when Brady's pass bounces off of a defender and right to Edelman.

KC needed to win the game earlier, so it's not like that was a Seahawks-level bounce. But that was another play that could have turned the game.

Crazy that Brady could have thrown 2 game-changing picks, but the Chiefs just can't hang on to either.

[George Cumby]

I am SO weary of the Patriots.

[pbmax]

That is an Andy Reid special.

Smith missed him twice in the red zone. Of course, he seemed triple covered on one of those.

[esoxx]

Andy Reid take a bow.

[Joemailman]

Alex Smith coached by Andy Reid will be in the playoffs nearly every year. And never threaten to go to the Super bowl.

[Bretsky]

and Hoody Genius watches special teams played the right way

[denverYooper]

Watching the Panthers take it to the Seahags is making me happy.

[denverYooper]

How many games until Wilson gets a rep for throwing lots of picks in the playoffs?

[denverYooper]

Jordan Ross ‏@TheJordanRoss 15m15 minutes ago
Russell Wilson has 4 TD's and 8 INT's in his last 3.5 playoff games.

[Bossman641]

Carolina is just murdering Seattle.

[Striker]

But Wilson is one of the bestest QBs ever.

[Maxie the Taxi]

How many games until Wilson gets a rep for throwing lots of picks in the playoffs?Doesn't he already have one? This success is great for Charlotte, NC. Great city; good people.

[pbmax]

That is what a pass rush will get you.

[Strange Brew]

Feeling a little better about last night watching Seattle getting their ass kicked and a little help from my third IPA.

[Pugger]

That is what a pass rush will get you.

Of course Seattle's O line is bad.

[Rutnstrut]

The Packers wouldn't have had a snowballs chance against the Panthers.

[mraynrand]

The Packers wouldn't have had a snowballs chance against the Panthers.

that's what you said about Arizona

[Strange Brew]

Something tells me Carolina is going to piss this game away.

[Rutnstrut]

that's what you said about Arizona

Actually no it wasn't. I posted in the game thread BEFORE the game, that I had more confidence they would win yesterday than I did last week.

[denverYooper]

A second fake punt in a row would have been bad ass.

watching seattle get destroyed does take the sting off a bit

Every time Greg Olsen makes a play, I wonder how many #Bears fans stick a needle in their Mike Martz' voodoo dolls?


LOL. Every time Greg Olsen makes a play against the Seahawks, it's doubly enjoyable: 1.) Because it's against the Seahawks and 2.) Because the Bears let him go.

[Pugger]

It appears Olsen is out with an injury of some sort.

[Pugger]

Carolina has done squat this half. Good lord. If they blow this this will be worse than what we did last year.

[denverYooper]

Well, this has gotten interesting.

Carolina sure reminds me of the 2011 Packers: frontrun to a huge lead and then let the other team trickle back in.

[red]

didn't i hear them say shoulder or arm?

[red]

olsen is a damn fine TE who the panthers got for just a third round pick

oh, what might have been, but we had the super TE finley at the time :roll:

and we don't trade of course

[Maxie the Taxi]

panthers taking a page out of fat mikes book and just trying to run out the clock for the whole second half

this is called taking your foot off the gas

In hoops Russell Wilson would be like 11 for 29 FG with 11 assists, 9 rebounds, 4 steals and 9 turnovers right now.

[denverYooper]

Exactly what I thought... it looks like the Packers playing with a 10+ point lead and giving the ball back to the other team.

[Joemailman]

What are the odds that the Seahawks can recover an onsides kick?

[denverYooper]

Seattle looking for Brandon Bostick.

[Maxie the Taxi]

What are the odds that the Seahawks can recover an onsides kick?
I'd say close to 100%. It is, after all, Seattle.

[red]

fuck you seattle

[denverYooper]

God has abandoned Seattle.

[Maxie the Taxi]

God has abandoned Seattle.

Now if God will abandon the Broncos, I'll be happy.

[denverYooper]

Now if God will abandon the Broncos, I'll be happy.

For gastronomic reasons, I hope the Broncos win.

We know several Broncos fans who are also very good cooks. If they win, I'll be over at their place for the Conference championship dining on some phenomenal homemade hot wings straight out of the deep fryer and stuffed bacon-wrapped jalapenos from the grill.

They also tend to keep a nice bourbon selection on hand.

They tried. Nice first half game plan though.

Is he saying he is Iverson?

[pbmax]

God has abandoned Seattle.

You never hear about the lesson God is sending when he smites you these days. Only that its an obstacle. When you win, God wanted to bask in your glory.

Seems asymmetrically incentivized.

It's always a personal thing between a man and God.

Russell Wilson probably had some impure thoughts.

Cam's hat at halftime of the Denver/Pitt game is ridiculous.

Lessons are being taught

[Rastak]

Broncos are not playing as well as I thought.

Seahags got what their lucky ass deserved.....(yes, I love sour grapes).


Panthers game was nuts in how different the two halves went, all joking aside.

In conclusion, Russ better get moving on scoring points for the afterlife as he's clearly messed up and fallen out of favor.

[denverYooper]

Steelers would seem to have a better shot at beating the Pats, though the game could be a track meet.

An Old Man Bowl of Manning vs Palmer would be fun. Both of those codgers stumbling around and moving the ball on broken plays would be a good time.

[denverYooper]

Pittsburgh finally loses a fumble on the 3rd chance.

[Rastak]

Gonna be a close finish.

[pbmax]

Pittsburgh D has struggled mightily this year. Broncos struggled to take advantage. Seems familiar somehow.

Right now it looks like a mismatch. People thought the Bengals had the best chance.

Broncos D can resist the Patriots O, but I don't know how Denver scores.

[Rastak]

Looks like:
Cards vs Panthers
Patriots vs Broncos

I'll take the Cards vs Pats......

It couldn't have gone down better in the AFC.

Belichick and Brady Vs Peyton Manning and the BRONCO Experiment.

Yeah. Denver's defense will have to score.

[Joemailman]

Arizona vs. New England would be a great Super Bowl. Carolina vs. Denver and I might not watch it.

That and the Steelers have approximately zero chance of pulling off a win at NE next week, and the last thing in the world that we need is another Patriots SB.

[woodbuck27]

Arizona vs. New England would be a great Super Bowl. Carolina vs. Denver and I might not watch it.

It's be New Englad Vs Carolins.

Write it on the Calendar.

Nice.

[Joemailman]

Don't sell Denver short at home. That defense, playing on that field, can make any QB have a bad day.

I laughed hysterically at that commercial when I first saw it. For a guy that has been accused of not being "black enough", its pretty funny they got him linked up with/listening to Macklemore in that ad.
