Title: NFL Playoffs!
Post by: crazyivan on January 03, 2011, 04:38:22 PM
Well Sexy Rexy is at it again in NY/NJ. We have a 7-9 team in Seattle playing,  instead of giving someone a bye. AFC Ravens get the Chiefs mmmmm.  AFC is stacked , while NFC New Orleans vs Falcons rematch. That's how I see it discuss.  :banana:

My preseason prediction of Falcons / Pats will come to pass (unless Brady or Ryan get hurt).  I find it tough to root against the Saints, but they've got a LONG row to hoe if they're gonna get back to the SB.

EDIT:  Pats 34/ Falcons 28 (Hoping I'm wrong on the score.)

Both games were decided by 3 points. Both games ended with drives by the Ravens, one for a TD pass with less than a minute to spare, the other with an incomplete pass on 4th down with less than a minute to spare.

Unless New England Flops, it will be New England vs New Orleans in SB45.

Don't know what game you watched, but the Colts were beaten because they could not produce.  Neither team was an offensive powerhouse this year.  No matter, the Pats will stomp the Jets next week.

I wasnt particularly impressed with the Jets offensive game plan as well as the play of Sanchez.

After continually running on first and second down. they were so predictable that The Colts were ripe to get raped by the play action. It was there almost all game but particularly in the 4th quarter. The Jets would also do well to roll Sanchez out a bit more

Sanchez though continually overthrew his receivers all game. Had he not. The Jets could have turned this into a blowout instead of a nail biter


That being said. wouldn't it be hilarious if the Seahawks ended up winning it all?

I'm sure not all Pats fans are cocky, but my ex and her entire family will not stop sending me texts about how bad NE is going to stomp everyone on the way to winning the superbowl. I'd wager a guess that the Pats do in fact make it to the big game; whether or not they win is another thing entirely.

Yeah it was a great weekend of wild card games, some of the best I can remember, I mean just about every game was close until the end, except that Ravens game, but I knew that was gonna be a blow out that's why I bet on them, actually did really good on all the games, I went 4-0 betting this weekend which I really needed after dropping almost $700 over the last 2 weeks of the season, that hurt, but I'm clawing my way back up.

The Bears game I see as being a blow out, I know the Seahawks won the regular season game against us but that was before the bye week, after that the Bears made some changes and turned everything around, there a different team now then the one they played against.  I think the NFC championship game will be Bears Falcons and that's gonna be a good game.
Title: Re: NFL Playoffs!
Post by: cattb on January 10, 2011, 01:26:23 PM
 The Falcons are predicted to win by a small margin. Falcons have a balanced team on offense and a good defense. The Packers have been short on the running game,hopefully Starks can open this problem area up when they play. (hopeful thinking). The Packers are going to have a handful.
 I hope the game is as exciting as the Packer vs Eagle game.

Title: Re: NFL Playoffs!
Post by: trax1 on January 10, 2011, 02:33:47 PM
Yeah right now the Falcons are favored by just 1.5 pts, so it should be a good game, as far as the other games go this one is predicted to be the closest, Sundays games are all predicted to be blow outs, Bears are favored by 10 pts & New England is favored by 9.5 pts.

Same outcome? That's funny... I don't recall the Ravens clinching a spot in the Super Bowl on that record setting Ed Reed interception.

It's all good Junky, I do respect the Ravens. I love the rivalry, Like I said above I'm glad one of us will represent the AFC North in the AFCCG.

What a throw by Ben there on 3rd & long at the end.  It was very surprising for the score to have been that high with such low total offensive yardage by both teams, lot's of mistakes by both teams near their own end zones.

So far this post season I've gone 5-0 as far as bets placed on the 5 games so far, and for the next game I'm taking the Packers at +1, wishing I put the bet in last night when the line was at Packers +3.

Baltimore was just outplayed & outclassed today, the only reason it was even as close as it was today was because of some really bad mistakes by the Stealers in the first half that netted them 14pts, especially that fumble that sat on the ground for awhile when they all thought it was an incomplete pass, that was one of the strangest things I've ever seen in a football game.
Title: Re: NFL Playoffs!
Post by: trax1 on January 15, 2011, 08:41:13 PM
It's looking like I'm gonna go 6-0 for the post season, GB is just playing an unbelievable game right now, Rodgers has only 3 in-completions in the 1st half, if GB keeps playing like this in the 2nd half the Falcons are done.

Looking like a GB Vs. Bears NFC championship game, thats gonna be good.

In no way were the Ravens outclassed. Defense knocked Ben dover on his arse more than once. Ravens , offense giving the Steelers presents in the 3rd quarter was the usual butter up. Calling a touchdown back for a shirt tug pfft. But liked said that 3rd quater, they didn't deserve to win.

The Steelers keep shooting themselves in the foot all game, more-so in the first half, & late into the 4th quarter the Ravens had barely 100 yards of offense, they played horribly all game.  I'll give you that they got to Ben a lot, but thats about all they did good.

The Steelers didn't make the Ravens look as bad as GB is making the Falcons look, but it still wasn't good.

Lol, I bet it gets taken off Wiki pretty quick though.

Yeah it's gonna be a hell of a NFC championship game with the Bears Packers in it, look how hard fought the game they played against each other 2 weeks ago was, and the Bears really weren't playing for anything in that game while the Packers were in a must win situation.

The bears were playing to win and get rid of the packers. Thats why they kept their starters in.The packers are a dangerous team.I am surprised they are doing so good despites all the injuries and loss of players they have had. The bears are a good football team. If they meet for the championship game, going to be a very close game as it was before.

What I meant by what I said is that Greenbay "Had to win", and the Bear didn't, so during the game the Packers mentally knew that they absolutely needed to win, which the Bears didn't have, mentally that is, so when your in a situation where it's "win or go home" your gonna be playing that much harder, and during the game the Bears didn't have that "win or go home" mentality.  Sure the Bears would have liked to win, but it wasn't absolutely necessary like it was for the Packers.

You are very correct the Bears did not have anything really to play for. The Packers needed that win to be in the playoffs. From what I read Lovie Smith wanted to be the first team to sweep the division and beat his number one rival.
Onwards and upwards, Bears game starting soon, then Jets and Patriots.

What trax1 said.

I think trax is more of a Northside guy but I grew up on the Northshore in Lake County near the WI stateline.  There are both terrible fan grudges as well as respect in that area and one usually supports the other unless they are playing head-to-head.  The Bears/Greenbay/Minnesota hate-fest has gone on for years.  This game will be no different.  Bears do have home field advantage, but....

My call:  Packers odds:  1.5:1
            Bears Odds:     4:1

Final should be:

Packers 34
Bears    10

Bears are not ready for the Packers.  It could even be uglier...and I am a hard-core Bears fan.   :(

Close score, Yes.

No way Green Bay allows Cutler that much time. I figure Urlacher will get his licks in as well, but the Packers have a recieving corp second to none. Add the fact the managed to find semblance of a running game to boot.

I don't know what game you saw, but I saw Seattle dropping passes left and right, most of which would have been huge gains.
Albeit, our defense played to its 29th ranking and we gave up just as many points as we did to the Saints. Our offensive WRs (literally) couldn't catch crap until the game was out of hand.

I'll take Jets and GB in the Superbowl.

   Just saying parity in the NFL my go beyond what we think it is. Any business that generates that much money, be it the NFL, or American Idol, doesnt live on chance alone. Seeing them come out and play the way they "didnt" after how they played all year has really made me question the integrity of the league. And really it only takes 1-2 individuals on a team to make the difference.

    New England needed a rival in the AFC East, so the NFL has manufactured one. The regular season may be played normally, but when it comes to the playoffs and Superbowl, who knows what influences can be applied by the NFL, and Las Vegas.

Most likely that 45-3 game was setup for the playoffs so the odds were even bigger.

Most likely that 45-3 game was setup for the playoffs so the odds were even bigger.


  I love football, but when I see stuff like this it makes me wonder how long it could have been going on.

Really? Teams come and teams go, Jets are defiantly on the way up, as well as the Chiefs. But teams like Indianapolis are getting old.

NFL is all about the Quarterback and defense.

I still love the passion of College Football so much more, the atmosphere of stadiums from the Big 10 or SEC is just amazing.

I was going to respond to this at work, but my post was getting a little long...

I believe there is some tinkering by the NFL and other inside and outside influences in regular season and post season play. As mentioned by Filth, I do believe Vegas and other major gambling spheres do anything they can to be a part of all major pro and collegiate US sports.

I'm not quite sure about developing a rivalry like Filth Mentioned as rivalries develop naturally, but certain things like rules and officiating are part of the equation if you ask me. Time added to the game clock, commercial & injury time-outs, questionable penalties or no-calls are their tools.

I try to look past it and enjoy the sport of football from the NFL to NCAAF, and remember that its just a game and not the center of my life.

GO STEELERS!

I don't know about any of you, but the Colts have one hell of an Offensive Line.    I've seen the above quote a few times this season directed at the Colts and Manning.    You wanna know why the Colts aren't still in it?   Look at the Running Back position and stop your search.     If you dispute, I'm sorry but you need to study more.

The Steelers have given up a lot of sacks this year and 3rd down and 7-9+ ytg will dictate if they advance.    I noticed they dug themselves in "Long 3rds" too often and the well will soon run dry, as your "tendencies" will become exposed.

The Patriots have an excellent O Line as well, but as Rip said "Dropped Passes" have plagued them all year, as did the Seahawks yesterday.    Wes Welker is too "relied upon" and Branch drops too many balls or runs the wrong route.

If GB can play like they did against Atlanta, there isn't a team in the AFC that can match em, nor stop em.

dude. If you think there wasnt a rivalry between NE and the Jets before. You really need to spend more time in the NY area where the two most dispised teams are The Boston Redsox And the NE Patriots.

Yes there are other rivalries as well  such as NY Giants and Eagles. Or Jets and Miami But none compare to the pure hatred that is felt for those two organizations.

 I guess maybe its a one sided rivalry. The Colts,Steelers and Ravens have been our rivals in the past decade. Jets and Bills were about the same emotional energy, with Dolphins just a notch above. Pats really havent had much in the division to play against. Once Indy left, it was still them.

  Im up in NH so I dont live in the Boston area, Im sure you'd get the "JETS SUCK!" out of many Bostonians, but as for us up here, the Jets were just a team we played against during the year.

   Maybe that will change over the next few years. Im sure the NFL and the media will do everything in their power to make it so.

If Bears O line plays up to its potential
If Cutler doesn't try to force passes, and actually gets rid of the ball when pressured
If the Bears D line gets pressure on Rodgers consistently
If they force a few fumbles, and Hester breaks one free
Then its the Bears / Steelers for a Superbowl

if not, its those annoying cheeseheads in the crowd again...

my 2 cents

Growing up, it was always a grudge match between the Dolphins and my beloved Jets. The New England thing started when Mr Hoodie spurned the Jets for the Patriots. There are rivalries elsewhere, however, when there is a New York team involved it becomes more looked at and hyped up. The rest of the country has a hardon for anything New York. Patriots were beaten, Saints looked pitiful, Seattle looked like they didnt belong anyways.

Brother we're usually on the same wavelength but I'd take the Pack or the Bears.  Old school ties and such. 

Packers have the more polished team overall. Like I said in the beginning of the year before they suffered all those injuries "they have that Superbowl look"
they are in the top 3rd in every category offensively and defensively with teh exception of running (24th) and stopping the run (18th)

Bears have a good defense. despite being susceptible to the pass (20th) they have a very good run defense (2nd) And dont allow alot of points(4th)
But they have a mediocre offense (at best). Bottom third in points scored,Yards, Running and passing.  But, The great intangible for the Bears is Hester. His returns can turn a game around in a hurry.

On paper this shoudnt even be close. Packers in a blowout. BUT. These are divisional opponents so it could be much closer then it should be.

I still take Green Bay provided they do not kick the ball to Hester. If the Bears win it will be because of a huge play or two from Hester.

Since 1921 the bears and green bay have been rivals from what I have read. This game is predicted to have record viewers nationaly. Tickets starting I guess about 400 to 500 apiece from what I have read.
The two teams have not been in the playoffs together since 1941. They played a week after pearl harbour was bombed.
Whichever way the game goes its going to be a great game.

Available tickets to the game sold out in 1 minute.

Yeah that interception changed the course of the game big time. I think that QB did lot better than Cutler did. I read couple of articles saying that Cutler being injured is why the Bears lost. I think it was quite the opposite (I was going for the Bears to win) because the last two scores the Bears did was from that 3rd stringer.  I have to wonder if he was put in the game earlier, the outcome might have been different.

As of right now, I think it'll be Packers and Steelers (considering the score is currently 24-3) in the big one. I am rooting for the Steelers if that is the case.

did anyone else notice that Mendenhall dog-humped Rothlisberger on one of the last plays of the game?  Big Ben kneeled down, and Rashaard tackled him and proceeded to hump him, mid-field, on national television.   then i saw Ben crying after the game.    :huh

I can't stand Lovie Smith.

9 times out of 10 I'll praise Jay Cutler.

What happened yesterday was a perfect storm of buffoonery. While the Pack did play well (salute..... I guess), letting the starting QB take the bench in a championship game is inexcusable.

With all the chips on the table, that QB should have rose to the occasion and shown some leadership. He's getting tests done on his "injured" knee today or tomorrow. There had better be some serious damage or he's gonna hang for quitting on his team.

Oh well, baseball season is right around the corner.......

What is certain is that the Broncos got the better deal in the QB trade between the Bears and Broncos....
Cutler is nothing but a big hairy cat. :)

Not so fast. I still think that Jay has the potential, he just hasn't realized it fully yet.

(He sure did look like a big hairy cat sitting on the sidelines though.  :mad: )

I'm going to withhold judgment before I completely decide on Cutler but I do seem to recall Emmit Smith fighting through a separated shoulder against the Giants in a playoff game.  Say what you want to about the Cowboys but the triplets were warriors on the field at least.

Cutler has a level 2 (partial tear) Sprain MCL.

Yes you can walk on it but you do not have stability to make cuts and planting your foot.

Even though I am a Green Bay fan that lives in Chicago, I feel really Sorry for Cutler.

I don't. What happened to REAL football players that played with broken bones and blown out knees? The ones who played for the game and not the money?

Really.... I take you have had a Partial torn MCL before?  So you can tell me how well you move around on it.  Come on give me your expert medical knowledge.

I had a Partially torn MCL before.   I can tell you when walking on the leg it feels like the knee is going to fall off the tib/fib.  Feels like you have no support on that leg.

Also it wasn't his choice to be pulled from the game.  Team Doctors told the coach he should not be playing.   Lovie put him in a series after the half and then pulled him.  He did not say "I can play keep me in."  Lovie said "your hurt and I am taking you out."

And you question his toughness... I have yet to see him complained about how many times he has been sacked over the 2 years he has played for the
Bears.  Some of the sacks he was almost killed in.

Why I am sticking up for the Bears.  The Bears did no service for him what so ever by saying he is questionable for the rest of the game he should have been listed as OUT.  They should have put him in the training room, or had him change to street cloths.

The only broken bones players actually played with were toes/foot/hand/fingers. Any other bones and your out, same with a MCL tare. This isn't some petty injury, it is a potentially career ending one if you push it too much.


You have to remember this is their career, yes it is a game but this is how they make a living. When you have a injury at work and it has the potential to end your career, you do NOT just stand back up and ignore your doctor.

Give me a break. No support? Then how was that limp wrist weak boy standing up? Walking around? Riding that bike? Unless you have a Phd in sports medicine shut it.

Im with most of the NFL players on this one that complained about him that had the SAME EXACT INJURY before. He cost his team the game by being a weakbait over paid sissy boy. Boot the tard.

If Cutler could not plant and throw, he was not going to help the team any longer. The guy should get credit, took numerous sacks throughout the season, took the team to the playoffs, and also by the way he is class 1 diabetic. It was a coaching decision and he was pulled from the game.

So if you physically can't go in the game how about getting off your keester and helping out the third stringer who had to take your place?

No I don't have a Phd.  I guess my Paramedic license working on a fire department, and also working as an ER paramedic means nothing. OR the fact I  volunteer my time at my old high school in the training room does not account for anything.  I seen a few of these injuries.

Like I said you can walk on the leg but you feel very unstable.  Same how I felt when I had the same injury.  Yes I could walk, my rehad did have me riding a bike.  If you asked me to push off the leg or make and quick move I could not do it.

Gotta go with jebus on this one.  If you can't plant or move laterally in that position you are a liability to the team. And yes I've had that injury.  It's not much fun.  I'm not ready to anoint Cutler as a 'great' qb but, based on the information that came out today, I'm not going to brand him as a gutless wonder either.  That said I do think he could have been more actively involved in helping the other qb's with advice.  But we don't know the internal dynamics of how the team is run.  Coaches in Chi might have told him to stay out of the mix and let the coaches coach.

I agree with you totally dichotomy.  I am not going to say Culter is the greatest, but he is a tough player.

The bears made a lot of mistakes during the game with Cutler injury.
1) during the game saying he could "possibly" return.  They should have said he was out.
2) keeping him in uniform.  They should have put him in the training room or street cloths like Pitt did with there player.  Would have made it less confusing for fans and showed he was really hurt.
3) Lovie during his press conference today saying it was a sprain.  People think sprains they think an ankle or shoulder I can play with that.  A MCL is totally different animal.

Heinne was on a local sports talk show today and he said he watched the broadcast.  What he said about Culter helping was he did a lot more than what the TV showed.  He was talking to him on the radio when the plays were called.  Culter also sat and helped him on the side lines it just was never shown on TV.

Of course this is what Heinne said.

Once again I support the Packers because of blood. I have no idea why I am sticking up for Cutler...maybe its because people just do not get it.
