THE PLAYOFFS and THE SB

[Radagast]

As GB enjoys a well deserved bye/rest, I'll look forward to watching NO take Minnesota apart. Laughing all the way? True as it can ever be. LOL LOL LOL

The two birds (Seahawks/Eagles) will beat each other up in Philadelphia. I see Seattle surviving this heavyweight bought.

Should this all come to pass, SF will again play the Seahawks, but this time in SF for the Divisional Playoff round. SF to win and go on to host the NFC Championship game.

GB will host NO in their divisional round playoff game. IMO, the Saints win this game and will move on to play SF in the NFC Championship game.

NO plays Baltimore in the SB in Miami.

The New Orleans Saints win the Super Bowl game.

[MadScientist]

Isn't it the playoffs and the SO around here?

As painful as it may seem, i guess we have to back rastak and root for the Vikings. Sea / Phi are much better match-up. Ultimate scenario Vikings beat SF too, and GB beats whoever, leading to GB-MN at Lambeau for the NFCC. (And for my remaining 2 wishes...)

[Radagast]

I've expressed my opinion on the NFC Playoffs and my SB prediction as well. As glad as I am that GB has had a great season, I feel that they are still too weak to go all the way this season. NO, IMO, is this seasons most dangerous team. Yes Baltimore and SF and KC have very good teams, but the Saints have put it all together this season.

[texaspackerbacker]

hahahaha Still some non-believers and negativists in here. That Lions game was enough to shake the faith of even an optimist. Just the same, I've seen enough good from the Packers late in the season to expect them to beat the Saints (who I consider overrated) if they are the first opponent. If not the Saints, Seattle should be very beatable too. For those of ya'all rooting for the Vikings, I think I'd prefer the Saints at Lambeau over the third chance for the Vikings, especially if they get Cook back. If it is the Vikings, though, we'll kick their ass too.

Then there's the Niners in San Fran ....... pretty hard to be optimistic about that. If we play D like we did late in the season (minus the Lions game), it could happen, though. And if we ended up in the big game against the Ravens, it would probably be a lot like Super Bowl I - everybody predicting the Ravens - with a similar result? Naw, even I can't predict that, not today anyway hahahaha.

[Radagast]

To make it make it through the AFC or the NFC Playoffs and on to the SB, a team must excel in all areas of the game. Even against Detroit, the leagues worst secondary, GB WRs had trouble getting separation, securing passes that hit their hands, and incurred downfield blocking penalties. Furthermore, Rodgers passes have been falling short of their targets. It's like he has spent more time making commercials/banging Danica Patrick/and buying Malibu Beachfront homes instead of working on his craft.

Rodgers may devote more time now with his WRs/TEs/RBs, but he has not been the QB this season that teams feared so in past seasons. Still Lady Luck could smile on the Packers, but it's always better to better prepared than your opponent.

It's not a matter of being negative or a non-believer, but facing reality. GB earned no style points by barely squeaking past a poor team like the Lions and opponents will see it when they study the game videos. Were I LaFleur I would take advantage of the bye week to add a few plays that no team has seen so far this season from them.

I’d prefer the Vikings, because that means we are in Championship game.

I want Vikings to go 2-1 and Philadelphia to win this weekend and us getting revenge on that game we shoulda won ....and yes, for my other two wishes too.

[HarveyWallbangers]

Here's how I hope the playoffs play out

Green Bay over Philadelphia
Green Bay over Minnesota
Green Bay over Kansas City (my girlfriend is a Chiefs fan)

Whiners whine about reality hahahaha. Reality is 13-3. How we got there is speculation. LUCK does have a helluva lot to do with it, and not just for the Packers, and the same is true in the playoffs. Luck includes injuries and officiating among a lot other things.

[Radagast]

Great Post

Thanks Bretsky, but too many here believe that if they post the truth as well that they will somehow jinx the Packers. I too want to see the Packers succeed, but for them to win against teams like the Saints, 49ers, or (should a mericle occur) the Ravens would be a miracle indeed. They have, with the help of GM Gutekunst and HC LaFleur, greatly improved over last season. A few of the puzzle pieces are not in place yet as of this season. GB needs 1 or 2 high quality WRs as well as a new Right Tackle to replace Bulaga.

The Packers have taken an improved roster, a new HC, and a favorable schedule to a 13-3 reg season record that exceeds my expectations. IMO,they don't need to win any more to declare it a successful season.

[Vincenzo]

IMO,they don't need to win any more to declare it a successful season.
Yikes, I gotta part ways with you LARGE right there. Improvement upon last season yes, but that ends it. Please don’t go any further and declare an improvement as good enough.
You’ll feel pain if they’re dismantled in an embarrassment in the first round. 2011 was a disaster, we went 15-1 and then were punched in the mouth by the Giants in the first round, right in front of our fans. Heck, Patriot fans don’t even want to talk about their 2007 season when they were 18-0 only to lose to the Giants in the Super Bowl......that team was one victory away from perfection.

You and too many others can't see the forest for the trees. This 13-3 GB team is not as good as their record portends. The Defense carried then through the first month of the season. There was a gift of a game as KC was without Mahomes, the Washington Redskins, and the NYGs say much about their 2019 schedule. Then when they faced the 49ers, following the bye week, they were taken to school. The WRs, as poor as they are can point to the short throws from Rodgers that used to be so accurate with. It looks like instead of sharpening his precision with his WRs, he was too busy being a celebrity. Rodgers talent is still there, but it looks like his dedication to his craft has declined.

[Zool]

In your opinion. Others are allowed theirs as well.

[pbmax]

I stopped paying attention when the review of the Detroit game mentioned passes falling short and made no mention of the 16 passes going too long.

[Vincenzo]

I totally get that Zool, just not booking any parades or even declaring any sort of victory. IMO, what happens this upcoming January will be what determines the true success of this 2019 Packer team.

[RashanGary]

Go pack go!

Fuck the odds! But thankfully early in the year I bet on SF and Baltimore getting to the SB at +800 and +1000 respectiveLY. So even if my beloved pack lose, I gotta good chance to win.

hahahahaha You disagreed with about the only part of his post I did agree with. To me, having a great team all season with all the good feeling of victory (unless it's a shit game like against the Lions) outweighs winning the Super Bowl and by far outweighs losing the Super Bowl 13 or 14 or 15 to 1 in happy days. That 15-1 season was great, and if I was a Pats fan, I would have enjoyed the 18-0 also.

What sucks IMO is teams, NFL and other sports, that are boom and bust, tear way down and then maybe rise to the top, then probably back down again. The Niners are an example of that, Falcons too, and probably a lot of others, Astros in baseball for example. We are blessed to not have that situation really in any major Wisconsin sport.

[HarveyWallbangers]

At Kansas City without Mahomes was no slam dunk--just ask the Vikings. Matt Moore is solid and that team has ridiculous weapons. Kansas City is a difficult place to win at. The Chiefs went 2-1 without Mahomes with the one loss being to the Packers.

[HarveyWallbangers]

Some cool stats here:

https://packerswire.usatoday.com/2019/12/30/green-bay-packers-in-the-2010s-a-dominant-decade-by-the-numbers/

Basically, the Packers were the second best franchise in the 2010s behind the Patriots in almost every meaningful category (wins, division titles, playoffs, playoff wins, etc.)

It truly is supposed to be about the journey. Enjoying the season as the weeks go bye in the Fall is what we’re supposed to enjoy.
However, I differ from you in the sense that it all boils down to January for this Packer Backer. Ultimately the season is about positioning yourself for home games after Christmas and the real prize is Championships.

Buffalo over Houston

New England over Tennessee

New Orleans over Minnesota

Seattle over Philadelphia

[Zool]

I think the Philly Seattle game is a toss up.

Rad, is the Buffalo over Houston a gut feeling, or do you have some info that makes you lean Buffalo?

[texaspackerbacker]

I think Houston beats Buffalo - J.J. Watt is coming back, and Buffalo has looked uninspired lately.

Seattle is just plain better than the Eagles.

New England won't stumble against Tennessee.

I'm very tempted to pick Minnesota over New Orleans, but I won't. Saints in a close comeback win against the purple chokers.

[ChicagoSmellsLikeFarts]

Houston might be a dark horse superbowl contender.

[Radagast]

Houston might be a dark horse superbowl contender.

You may just be right. The Bills beating the Texans goes against the popular view. I'm taking a chance on Buffalo to win. Who would have said the Dolphins could beat the Patriots in Week 17 ?

Any given Sunday (or Saturday ) as the saying goes.

[Cheesehead Craig]

Pats gonna lay an egg on Saturday.

Houston is such a hot/cold team. I think they have one more hot game in them and win as well.

NO and Seattle should take care of business.

[bobblehead]

I'm gonna totally hedge. We are 13-3 and deserve to be. It was a great season even if we lose to the saints (please don't lose to the Vikings!!) First year head coach coming off 6-10 with a ton of roster holes and we went 13-3 and got a bye....great turnaround.

Now the hedge. No reason they CAN'T keep winning. N.O. sucks outside that dome, and especially in chilly GB. The D is legit if not dominant. We run effectively. N.O. and SF both lost 3 games and proved they weren't invincible. We are very healthy for playoffs.

My gut tells me one and done as I believe the saints are a better team with a more effective QB at this point (not to mention TAYSOM HILL!!), but I'm not just hedging. There are multiple reasons to believe in this team.

No personal jibes, but I've heard politicians that were not as good at dancing around and not nailing their point plian. Keep the bark on and leave those hedges alone Sir. You timidally seem to say that GB might make it to the SB if they are lucky.

Being satisfied to be stoned motionless instead of working to better yourself/family is for many why they remain poor. Then comes the rhetoric that others are "keeping you down", when in fact they keep themselves down. Anyone can work a job,day or night, and attend a college or trade school at the same time. I did it myself years ago.

Additionally, migrant farm workers are generally accepted to be at the bottom of the ladder socially/educationally/monetarily/etc. I salute any/all that work hard and elevate themselves to a better life. I can't respect people that live in poverty, yet they can pay hundreds/thousands for drugs or alcohol. It's not racist to reject something that any/all races and cultures suffer with.

Labeling migrant farm workers as strictly Latino omits Aisions, Africans, Eastern Europeans, Pakistanis, and many more. Racist, go find a mirror and take an honest look at yourself before you point a finger in that way ever again.

Cumby, while I salute those that teach, being a migrant farm worker is not the issue. The issue is with those that complain about their lives but do nothing to change it. Migrant farm workers "are" among the bottom of the most poor in America. It's a place from where people should strive to escape. The issue is with those in that group or similar groups that hold partying as a higher priority than higher education or job training. Then they complain that they can't get ahead.

If you beat who is in front of you there can't be anything illegitimate about it. If the Titans run the AFC then they would be the team to beat from the AFC...anyone arguing "doesn't count" because the Ravens aren't good enough to get there is using seriously flawed logic.

those studies were rigged.

Not at all. Just gotta write over it with another sharpie.

Well, let's have some reading material.

So if you're right, you win.

If you're wrong it shows how deep the conspiracy goes so you also win.

Brilliant, really.

But what is really awesome is you have me defending the NFL.

Bravo, Sir, Bravo.

As I said, it's up the nfl, not me. It's fixed regardless of my pick, right or wrong.

It's interesting how you come to your 'logical' conclusion, based on predictions that fail. If it's 'fixed' regardless of what you predict, on what can you possibly base your claim? Are you perhaps paying for psychic readings?

Clefty invested a year's worth of hard-earned money, at $0.65/hour, from the Urinal Scented, on the spiritual readings of Michelle Whitedove, and still only returned 99.65% of investments. That's better than Vegas slots, but it doesn't keep the wife happy when she can't afford her Marie Osmond endorsed Weight Watchers meals.

God, the common man is illiterate. No critical thought what so ever.
Pay attention..predictions that fail have nothing to do with whether games are staged. I'm not saying it's fixed because I got a pick wrong. It's fixes because in real life, there would never be as many down to the wire, fantastic finishes.
It's bases on tv money, not competition.

[RashanGary]

The bright side is, at each teams low point I got in on them to win their conferences.

I have:

Sanfran at +1000
GB at +600
Baltimore at +800
KC at +550

So I have a really good chance at winning some money and coming out more than doubled up like I ALWAYS do

[RashanGary]

I bet on the Packers to win the SB at +1300

So if the Packers beat the Ravens in the SB I had a good year!

There are a couple Illuminati refs who affect outcomes. It serves the purpose of keeping people interested and establishing the reality that the system rules and whatever they call we just have to accept it. Mind control

If it were staged like WWF, people would know it. So its more subtle and done by a few refs and it's for a different reason

I just watched approx 120 out of 150 games in the first 10 weeks of the season. Can you name me obvious instances this year?

The refs calling hands to the face on Flowers on two 3rd down plays and the trippings against Dallas are the two blatant ones this year.

My mind control idea is as believable as your entertsinment one.

Subtly keeping it close is happening too. I wait for the untimely holds when a team has the lead. I expect it. So keeping interest so that the mind control audience is bigger works too

[RashanGary]

Sharpcheddar, I do believe there are a couple Illuminati refs. I've seen things that can't be coincidence for years.

[RashanGary]

But it's shitty to come here and call people common and idiots. They see things and are intuitive in ways you and I are not. I don't doubt your ability to spot patterns at a high level. I question the way you piece together what it means. But I respect the hell out of the people's here various individual gifts the same way I respect yours

[MadtownPacker]

It probably won’t help Sharpie and Rash that I defend them. Probably worst things in fact. But the truth is out there...

I don’t think winners have been decided in advance. Don’t think the NFL cares too much who wins. What I do question is how things happen that allow teams to get back in games late. The NFL does care about the marketing and revenue which is brought in from viewers. When the game is a blowout it seems like calls are made to balance the scales enough to keep us tuned in. If it isn’t the Packers and gets lopsided I will change that shit or shut it off.

Let’s dedicate a song to both these two wild and crazy guys.

When does the pre-determining finalize?

The shampoo commercial was shot in the year prior to the Super Bowl. But when are final decisions made on a game? It has to be flexible, right?

If Jimmy catches the jimmies from his girlfriend and is out for 8 weeks, changes the plan, doesn't it?

Do they just radio into the refs Saturday night?

[MadtownPacker]

It doesn't matter. Either GB or seattle will go to SF and lose.GB ok I can see since it has happened this season but Seattle won in SF which you know right? I believe Seahawks have won 3 of the last 4 games at Levi. So it wouldn’t exactly be an upset.

But it doesnt matter cuz Seattle is going home this week. My friend Roger G said so.

This troll is likely 43 years old and living with his mother. I see him stocking shelves at a grocery store and cleaning up the mess in isle 4. Elevates his depressed life by looking at internet porn and trolling in this and other forums. Not funny really , but sad.

[RashanGary]

I don't believe this at all. I like your views on fear and how to control people with it! That seems obvious to me. But the entertainment of football is the competition. They dont have to make a fake competition.

It feels awfully conspiracy oriented with the refs though. But my theory is the refs are occasionally given random changes in emphasis where we get upset becaude the rules change. But it's really a way of reinforcing fear of punishment on a mass audience and also teaching blind obedience. The refs decide the penalties and we have to accept them. It's conditioning to accept a bullshit society whether we like it or not.

So do I smell a conspiracy with the refs.... Absolutely. Do I think it has anything to do with fake competition? Nope. The audience comes for real competition. That is the entertainment. And then the mass audience is subjected to psychological conditioning to blindly accept rules. The Illuminati can't miss the opportunity to use an audience that large

I think Mad has to change the Rat names. Won’t let me save the change.

Wait . . . so if I want my new screen name to be "Richard Cheese," I'll have to create a brand-new Rat account?

If I ended up with two accounts, I could argue with myself.

So I just saw a Snickers commercial from several years ago, the one where a football player appears as Betty White and then morphs back into himself later on. What I realized watching the ad is mind blowing!

I'm telling you, there is a clear indication from our overlords that the Ravens, yes the Ravens, will be Super Bowl champions this season. They will meet the 49ers in the SB and prevail. It's pretty clear to see. Follow me here.

First, in the video you can clearly see at one point a large black bird fly by in the background of the scene. That bird? A RAVEN!

Second, the main character in the football scene, Betty White. Clear tell signs around her name. The first letter of her name = B. What other team is still in the playoffs that has a B starting their name? BALTIMORE duh.

That they meet San Fran is gleaned from her last name, first letter = W. Any W football team names still in the playoffs? No, but here's where you can't be a dunce and must think a little outside the box. What is the common nickname that football fans, you know, those dummies wasting away 3 hours of their life following dumb jocks, have for the 49ers? The 40 Whiners, eg..the Whiners. Hence W.

B altimore etty
W hiners hite

Not enough proof yet you say? My god man open your fricken eyes!

Betty White's character, when she morphs back into the actual player, is then seen wearing a "65" jersey. That number is another significant tell sign for the Ravens winning the Super Bowl! Who is Lamar Jackson's favorite passing target? Answer: Mark Andrews. And here's where it gets spooky. Mark Andrews height is...wait for it....6'5"! 6 5 Don't you get it??? It can't be any more clear than that!

Instead of just having your head up your ass maybe you idiotic stupid pee pants dummies can just apply one iota of critical thought and wake the fuck up to what is happening all around you. You people sicken me.

Bobble, I need you to lay a wager for me!

I should have known that Snickers ad was way too obvious and was just a head fake pointing to the Ravens.

Now if you'll excuse me, I have a 2017 Campbell's Chunky soup commercial to review.

Came up empty on the Campbell's ads, but have a lead that the 2020 Super Bowl Champion was indicated by tell signs in the movie Ace Ventura: Pet Detective.

Best scene ever is the one at the end where they go to get the keys. "Hey we can go back in time from the future and put the keys there!" They then recover the keys they need that their future selves put just where they needed them. "Hey we better remember to put those keys there in the future." "Why?" "Allright!"

If there's one thing the nfl enjoys doing. It's helping black QBS fail in big games. Mahomes has more than the nfc to compete with.

Maybe this has been mentioned but I don’t recall. If SB is Pack-Titans, M4 May have an advantage given he spent all of ‘18 w/ the Titans

Lol that's my point ..2 in 50 years is bullshit. If the sport were real, more black QBS would have reached and won.a SB.
Doug wasn't even a starter that year. Maybe 3 games. It's so you don't really remember him. No prominent stats.

Whether you think you pay attention to skin color is irrelevant. Let's be blunt. Cities like green bay and new england have never and will never have long term Black QBS. Meanwhile Philadelphia has had 2 long term Black starters. The nfl knows it's fan base race/ethnic population in each city and works accordingly.

First a word to "sharpchedder". Independent expression is not encouraged in this or other sports forums. Beating your head against a wall serves no purpose but to foster retaliation from the majority posters. It's like , you can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink. The more you post your opinions, the more they will be contested, until it leads to personal attacks and/or possibly worse. I recommend very short post like.

Yes I agree. No Patriots, Steelers, Giants, or Seahawks is refreshing. A GB/KC Super Bowl would have had a great media build up, but GB was not ready to play the Chiefs with Mahomes starting at QB. SF/KC should be very competitive.

Both KC and SF are strong in all aspects, but at this point I give the edge to Mahomes and the Chiefs. Based conditionally on the current list of uninjured or sick players.

Problem is people think there is some switch that is flipped and everything changes. Nothing but household electricity works like that. No one player, no one rule will do that.

Change comes slowly. Its good that its happened and happening. Its not complete yet.

And part of it just the hidebound nature of the NFL. It took the recognition of the severe shortage of 6' 5" programmable automatons with rocket arms and mobility, the ever increasing (seemingly) need to pass and the myriad options available in college, plus some analytics to finally push coaches to adjust away from Craig Morton ball.

As GB enjoys a well deserved bye/rest, I'll look forward to watching NO take Minnesota apart. Laughing all the way? True as it can ever be. LOL LOL LOL

The two birds (Seahawks/Eagles) will beat each other up in Philadelphia. I see Seattle surviving this heavyweight bought.

Should this all come to pass, SF will again play the Seahawks, but this time in SF for the Divisional Playoff round. SF to win and go on to host the NFC Championship game.

GB will host NO in their divisional round playoff game. IMO, the Saints win this game and will move on to play SF in the NFC Championship game.

NO plays Baltimore in the SB in Miami.

The New Orleans Saints win the Super Bowl game.
