O'Club NFL Playoff Picks

[Sixpence]

Didn't catch the early game(congrats seahawks), but the jags-steelers was a great game to watch. I was impressed by the way the steelers hung in there and came back to take the lead.

But the two point conversion was a poor play and executed terribly. It seems like they don't practice that situation enough. And then to play not to lose, the kiss of death. A QB run play on 3rd and 7? You need to get a first down and win the game, run some plays you have in the back of the playbook, but don't just lay down and give them the ball back. Once the Jags returned the punt to the fifty, I knew they gave the game back.

Good job by the Jags, they made the plays when it counted, congrats

Jeesh, I didn't say it didn't happen, only that you don't need to be "on the payroll" to poorly officiate a game.

I misinterpreted this last night to twee too many martoonis. My apologies!



And, my apologies to Nefarious for slamming the Steelers, as much as I hate them sometimes I cannot help it when I'm tipsy.

Sorry to see your Steelers out of it. They gave it a tough go last night 2nd half.

Go Bucs!!!

I really liked the "quiet.  Ben is working" sign they put up on the mega board.

Was it just me or did Ben Rothlesburger seem extra slow in the pocket last night?  The guy never did have lightning moves, but last night he was like a freaking turtle.

The Steelers are the kings of comebacks.

Just this season alone we have had several, not always for wins, but enough to make it not look like a pathetic loss. Both games against the Jags were decided in the 4th quarter.

Overall, I am pleased with the Steelers performance this season. To go to the Post season with a rookie head coach, the tremendous turn around of Big Ben and the #1 ranked Defense in the league. I think we had one helluva season.

The worst aspect of the season was our O-line, Ben lead the league in sacks and while its his responsibility to avoid them, he can't do it all by himself. Alan Faneca may be the best Guard in Football, but he didn't play worth a poop this whole season, I'm glad the Steelers didn't negotiate a new contract with him. Like many overrated Steelers before him, he can go somewhere else with his ridiculous demands.

None of these games mean a thing. It's gonna be Pats vs either Cowgurls or Green Gay, both of whom will lose to the Pats.

I'll take 3 out of 4 correct. I was only a 4th down and 2 yards to go from being correct about the Stealers/Jags game.

[Nefarious]

2 for 4.

Super Bowl winner will be...... Jacksonville. Just because.

I'm just happy Pats lost there first 3 draft picks!

Just a question, who do those picks go to? The first 3 teams in the draft?

I'm much better at predicting last week's games. If time ever starts running backwards I'm set.
