Post yer comments here.

Four games this week-end:
Baltimore at Denver, 4:30 Saturday
Green Bay at San Francisco, 8:00 Saturday
Seattle at Atlanta, 1:00 Sunday
Houston at New England, 4:30 Sunday

Reading a link from the Packers game discussion, http://www.grantland.com/story/_/id/...-playoff-games, I found out something that made me smirk - Chris Johnson, the speedster that we carried on the roster for two years, was signed by Baltimore in November and will be starting against the Broncos. Peyton's gota be happy about that!

McGahee is back, but will not play against Ravens. I like watching this guy run; gifted, natural runner, with good vision, suddeness, power, and pad level, something we really haven't seen in GB since Ahman Green.

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. – He was hard to find at first.

But there, in the black, number-less jersey, was Willis McGahee, making his return to Broncos' practice for the first time since injuring his knee in a game on Nov. 18.

The Broncos used their injured reserve exemption on McGahee, and he was cleared to practice this week. He is not eligible to return to the active roster or play in a game until at least next week, should the Broncos advance to the AFC Championship Game by beating the Ravens on Saturday.

McGahee went through individual drills with his teammates during the portion of practice that was open to the media. His black jersey was a sign that he would do some work on the scout team later in the practice.

McGahee is the Broncos' leading rusher, with 731 yards and four touchdowns, but he hasn't played since he was injured in the first half against San Diego. He suffered a strained MCL and also a compound fracture in his lower leg but did not need surgery.

The only Broncos player held out of practice Wednesday was cornerback Tracy Porter, who hasn't practiced since suffering a concussion in the first quarter of a game against Cleveland on Dec. 23. That was his only action since symptoms of a seizure reoccurred in mid-October.

"He's worked very hard. Our trainer and his staff, and Willis have worked hard, and he had a good first day," Broncos coach John Fox said.

I agree there, though McGahee's fumble rate this year has been higher than his historical average, much to the ire of Devner radioland's callers.

NE crushes HOU.
DEN handles BALT.
SEA settles Matty Ice's hash.

Great link Guiness. That Grantland posts some good articles.
NE and Den should roll. I think Sea may beat atlanta, but I would way rather face atlanta than Sea.

[Pugger]

I don't want the chickens of the SEA anywhere near the NFC Championship game.

I really don't care who wins the SEA-ATL game but I'd like to see Browner beaten on a little bit.

i'll be rooting against sea because they are a bunch shit heads.

Probably not the way the Ravens wanted to open. Aborted first drive (though couple of nice runs) and then punt return for TD.

what the hell are the ravens doing?

i hope san fran is sniffing some of that same glue

Well, their coaches are brothers...

It just got real quiet in Mile High.

[red]

surprised flacco's arm didn't shatter on that throw

[denverYooper]

No Miller on that rush. Williams tried to loop instead and he got stoned.
