Bengals just aren't a good team. You shut down green and you shut their offense down.But green is a beast.

Texans are going to be a force for years to come. This season was their coming out party. Just imagine if  schaub and Mario weren't injured.

^ Yeah, they got smashed. I haven't watched the Texans much recently but I figured Dalton would outperform a 3rd stringer.

Dalton probably would have been 3rd stringer on Houston.

I'm not sold on stafford as an elite qb. Calvin Johnson can make any qb look elite, he's insane. You can throw to him in double, triple coverage and he still comes away with the catch almost always.

Drew brees and this saints offense is fucking nuts. If it wasn't for the two fumbles they had this game would be a complete blowout. They are scary good right now.

Well so much for my bold pick. Should probably just rely on conventional wisdom from now on.

The Lions had their chances on defense they just didn't finish. They had a 6 with that fumble but the stupid reffed fucked it up. They also dropped a sure fire pick on Brees later in the game. This game should have been within 3 points. There were actually a few balls by Brees that the Lions secondary should have grabbed. I'm not sold on the Saints to go into Green Bay or even SF and walk through eithyer of those Ds. Fuck what GB's total D numbers are. They average 9.6 points per fist half in games where they started everyone (not counting week 17), and Capers is a great adjuster. Saints might go to town on the Niners if Smith and co throwaway the ball and keep the D on the field all day and get tired, but Brees better pray the Pack gets upset next week because in Green Bay the Saints are fucked.

Take Brees out of the dome, granted he's still awesome. But he won't beat the Packers in -13 degree weather, with winds & possibly snow lol.

I might have to take the Steelers on the moneyline. I swore I'd never bet with Tebow in a game. But this HAS to be a lock.

What a poor playcall by the falcons. You've been stuffed once on a 4th down qb sneak so for the second one you call an empty backfield qb sneak with a longer distance to go?! Wow.

Wow. The Falcons suck. 2 points?

Matt Ryan, another supposed elite qb is now going to be 0-2 in the playoffs and played like shit both times. And he just seems to suck outside of the dome in general.

Too many qbs get labelled elite based off stats but can't do shit and fold up when the games matter the most.Nevermind qbs stats are so inflated because of all the ridiculous rules that have been implemented.

^ I feel bad for Ryan today. His OL protection has been horrendous. Not many QB's (if any at all) would be able to do anything today. The Giants front 4 are ALL OVER HIM. And if you can't pick up 1 yard on 3rd down consistently in the run game, good luck.

The Texans played well to no surprise. First ever playoff game and make it at home, they were fired up. They'll lose next week.

The Saints offense was insane but the Lions D was worse. Saints should beat the 49ers next week too.

I'm glad the Giants won though. Giants--Packers will be a GREAT game, Pack would have rolled over the Falcons.

I expect the Steelers to dominate. Broncos will be lucky to score 10 pts and I predict Tebow turns it over 3 times. Dude is garbage, I never bought the hype.

If the Broncos find a way to beat the Steelers I will have no choice but to become a fan.

Probably going to cry over the Steelers if they lose lmao.

With so many huge plays given up you gotta wonder how much not having Ryan Clark hurt the steelers.

This pisses me off, I wanted to see steelers vs pats. The broncos are going to get destroyed by the patriots.
Title: Re: NFL wild card discussion thread
Post by: Lunatic on January 08, 2012, 05:15:42 PM
^ It may be closer than some think. The Pats D is HORRENDOUS, the Broncos will put up points. Now the Pats offense looks unstoppable but the Broncos have a heck of a defense.

 8) 8) A Steelers loss is always a beautiful thing.

I think it'll be closer than the Steelers with no Mendenhall and a beat Ben would keep it. If Tebow can throw the ball with the same timing and precision he did tonight then we could see a real upset, but that might be a big if to expect him to throw it like that twice in a row and now on the road in NE. I hope Denver wins though.

Lmao @ precision. The guy was 10 of 21. Has he even had a game where he's been 50 %?
Title: Re: NFL wild card discussion thread
Post by: OG Jaydc on January 08, 2012, 10:26:06 PM
My mistake about Matt Ryan, he's now 0-3 in the post season and looked terrible every time.
Title: Re: NFL wild card discussion thread
Post by: Chamillitary Click on January 09, 2012, 12:28:03 AM
New England is going to wash them. Big Ben turned the ball over like he knew he'd have a chance to win.

Give me Mendenhall, Kiesel & Clark & it's not even close. With that being said, Redman had a good game.

The deep balls he threw were precise. Laugh your ass off all you want. Tebow has a lot of trouble throwing the quick mid-range passes and he needs to work heavily on those but his deep ball was as good last night as anyone else's in the league. Watch the throws, not the numbers. They were good balls down the field and LeBeau had no reason to think Tebow could make that many of them in one game. Take just one of them away and Pitt wins the game.

^ LeBeau is definitely in shock. Old football mind, stubborn hard nosed attitude. Definitely didn't believe whatsoever Tebow could beat them like that.

If the Broncos knock out my two least favorite teams they will be my new favorite team. Ok, not really, I'll be happy though.

Did anyone believe that Tebow could beat anyone like that? I mean these weren't completely wide open guys down the field. I don't know if you can ask any QB to make that many accurate long balls in one game. You just get lucky sometimes (or God intervenes). Lightning doesn't strike twice, but I really hope it does next week.

Exactly

Highly doubt he'll ever be capable of that consistently

As much as I enjoy the sheer shock value of Tebow I hate how christians are tied to his nutsack by default.
