Hmm, I have nothing against Monte Kiffin but since Jerrah was the one who hired him it automatically means that it was a bad move.

So was Jones, and he schooled Browner.
A lot of people do. If you get off press against Browner he's subpar.
I don't know if this has been posted yet or not, but...I'd just like to express my condolences to Kave and the rest of Browns-GAF on the hiring of their new head coach. Yes, I know absolutely nothing about the guy, but I do know this:
Never can I imagine a future where we look back in the NFL annals and are able to say that a man named "Chudzinski" was one of the era's best coaches. I mean...Chudzinski.
I can picture the fan-made "Chodezinski" signs showing up in the stadium already.

If Seattle wins, they better hope San Fran wins as well. Easier to beat a division opponent, little travel, plus the Packers would be highly motivated to get their win back which was taken away earlier in the season.
Seattle would also have to take another long road trip. Don't see them surviving a third.
If Seattle travels to DC, then Atlanta, and then GB while winning all three games that would probably be the most impressive playoff run in years. If not history. Of course it would only be truly impressive if they cap it off with the title. Otherwise it is just an interesting foot note.

Chiggins/Falcons is the most interesting matchup of the weekend for me.
You can't fool Wilson with coverage b/c he doesn't read defenses. Watch on their passing plays. He takes one look at his first read and then tries to get out of the pocket. At that point, it's not timing throws to routes that beat coverage, it's WRs altering their routes and looking for soft spots.
He has no fear of throwing jump balls into double coverage, and all of his WRs are accomplished at drawing DPI and/or catching those outright. It's kind of shocking he doesn't have more INTs. Like that INT Griffin threw last week, people were acting like it was some fluke thing that he couldn't step into his throw. He had thrown deep into coverage all year and been pretty fortunate that they weren't picked off more often. Luck also had about 900 dropped INTs on his deep passes, so maybe Xenu just loves rookies
Can say the same thing about Sherman, probably an average CB, smarter player though.
I have such a good feeling about this game. Mile High is going to be insane! Last year was awesome with the Tebow 80 yd throw, but damn, the excitement for this game and season is beyond words.
Reading that actually makes me feel better. :jnc
So bitter
It really is. Was listening to 104.3 today, and the United in Orange thing is everywhere. I can honestly say that this is the most excited I've been since the Superbowl runs. 2005 was close, but there was always a little bit of doubt lurking in the back of my mind.

mmm
Except all the times we've comeback after playing like shit early in the game this year...
Those weren't playoff games.
Well I'm bitter Bustford never gets away with it. But Luck has benefited immensely so it evens out.
And I'm on-board with Wilson being a franchise QB. Reading coverages is so 2000s-ish. Only 5 or 6 guys do it well anyway. College game is coming

So did Tony Romo this year until it was an elimination game.....and Romo has a better playoff resume than Matty Lukewarm.

trying to convince my boys to go to the nfc title game in san fran if seattle wins but they're still butt hurt about alex -_-
i would actually like my wife to ask me to miss any sunday during football season (let alone playoffs) because in that brief moment when her sentence ends and im thinking about a response i would be giddy with excitement on how creative i could get on the shut down. maybe i'll start thinking of it now just incase she ever does pull that on me.
although i told her long ago, even when we were just friends, that there is a less than zero % chance i would ever miss a niners game

Kurharsky perfectly analyzes Milquetoast Kubiak http://espn.go.com/blog/afcsouth/post/_/id/46122/texans-need-to-throw-into-the-end-zone
The first two questions Gary Kubiak fielded at his Monday news conference were about the teams red zone offense.
In each answer, he mentioned checking the ball down.
First: "We had a lot of second-and-nines down there from that standpoint, but we got to make the small plays whether you check a ball down on a three or four-yard pass. Youve got to do that so youre giving yourself a legitimate chance."
A chance at what? A closer field goal?
Second: "We got played the other day in a bunch of quarters defense, people sitting on the goal line makes it tough to get behind people, those types of things. If people are going to play you that way, you got to run the ball efficiently. Youve got to check the ball down efficiently."

Gary KubiakKirby Lee/Image of Sport/USA TODAY SportsHouston QB Matt Schaub and coach Gary Kubiak will each need to be aggressive in order to defeat New England on Sunday.
If you're already in field goal range, what's the benefit of super-efficient checking down, exactly? To prove to a defense you know how to answer the coverage they are calling to keep you out of the end zone by calling plays that keep you out of the end zone?
I'm confused.
I encountered way too many fans who were upset with Kubiak for not being more aggressive in the win over the Bengals. He coached a winning game, and I thought he called some plays intended to protect a quarterback in Matt Schaub who came into the game lacking confidence. I've got no issues with that.
But to talk about throwing short stuff in the red zone as if its the solution strikes me as crazily conservative.
Checking down isnt going to get the Texans in the end zone. Andre Johnson catching a ball just inside the goal line he had to stretch to reach but let go off his fingertips, that would have produced a touchdown. A better throw from Schaub on that late second-quarter play, that would have produced a touchdown.
Here, I get the fans' frustrations.
I just re-watched all 15 plays the Texans ran from the Bengals 20-yard line or closer on Saturday. The Texans ran it eight times and threw it seven times. And one of those throws -- one -- was actually into the end zone. Two of those seven throws -- including the one into the end zone -- were thrown far enough to gain a first down.
Thats way too conservative overall.
I dont care what kind of coverage anyone is playing. You have Andre Johnson who can beat virtually any coverage to get free and catch a pass in the end zone. You've got Owen Daniels and Arian Foster who can win, too. Youre already in field goal range. Your quarterback has to be able to make throws that are either touchdowns or incompletions.
Dont let the coverage dictate everything. Do some dictating.
Say: If we run Andre Johnson on this route, protect well enough and make an accurate throw, there is no way you hold us to three points on this trip.
Im sure New Englands going to play coverages that tell you not to throw into the end zone when youre in the red zone Sunday.
If you dont throw into the end zone, you wont be able to win.

i figure tix to the NFC championship game would be about $500-700 for mediocre seats. i don't actually know for certain though!
If 49ers lose to Green Bay Packers.
I would blame on Colin Kaepernick and his zero playoff experience...
Alex Smith himself should be enough to beat entire Green Bay Packers.
Come at me GB Fans.
Love New Belgium!

they can't come at you. alex already beat the packers.
i also find it funny listening to NFLN and they're talking about charles woodson being back.... as if he didn't play against us in week 1. "WELP PACKERS GOT WOODSON BACK! LOOK OUT! NINERS AINT NEVER SEEN NOTHING LIKE WOODSON!"

How many home playoff wins does Kaepernick have? As many as Matt Ryan?
There's a ZombieU demo out there. You can play it and tell me how much you hate it.

You should play either MGS2 or Jak II.
They are the industry's crowning achievements and have yet to be topped.
Ryan is a good fit on the Rams IMO
500 wouldn't be too bad, but fuck nosebleeds for 500.

I played it last night. It seems really, really well done. I like that when I died I came back as someone else. It did cool stuff with the controller too. It's just too scary for me.
Angry Birds Star Wars is great!

Do what I'm doing: play your backlog in order of worst reviewed to best reviewed. Currently playing Darkness II.
Civilization 5. Crack on a disc.
Why would Jeff Fischer hire Rob Ryan to run a 3-4 when Fischer is a 4-3 guy anyway?
I'll never understand the infatuation with 3-4 defenses. Four d-lineman is the way to go, always.
Keapernick still have better record than Matt Ryan because he have zero loss.less than alex
Everything you say is dumb. I am thinking of playing some Civ IV though.
