I'm listening to Jets call in to WFAN about how they're the greatest team ever and obvious favorites over the Colts and Pats. God Jet fans are annoying. :lol

You sure that wasn't Rex calling in? :D The Jets fans I know are mostly fatalistic whiners. Somehow that shade of crazy didn't rub off on me. I'm usually a realist but I definitely think we will be traveling to Foxborough after Saturday.
 
I've come to the realization i basically hate/don't want to win another SB , everyone in the AFC except the ravens.

my picks:

NO @ SEA - I'm guessing everyone would be surprised if it went any other way

NYJ @ IND - Don't really care much for either of these teams but i'd rather see the jets make it through than the colts

BAL @ KC - See any of the above statements

GB @ PHI - As much as i'd like to see the packers win, gotta choose someone to win at home.

Weren't you emphatically picking them to lose every playoff game last season? Feels like old times and a good luck omen. Thanks for stopping in.
 
NO @ SEA - This game won't even be close.
NYJ @ IND - This is a tough one to call but I think Manning will take it.

BAL @ KC - KC hasn't done anything to really impress me.
GB @ PHI - This will be another close one but I have to go with Vick's drive to win.

Does Vegas have odds on how long before Freeman is put on the too fat to fly list?

Tell you what, I'll allow you to draft Freeman in the trendy hipster fantasy league next season so you can have a taste of what having a young franchise QB feels like. Just like I let you draft Mike Williams this year.

You didn't "let" me. You ran out of money! And I won't take Freeman because his schedule won't be as powder-puff as it was this year.
 
Sat, Jan 8th
NO @ SEA- would be hilarious if the seahawks won but i'll take the saints
NYJ @ IND- hopefully the jets are one and done so i can laugh at all the "super bowl champs" predictions they got before the season, i jelly :lol

Sun, Jan 9th
BAL @ KC - i'm scared of the Ravens if the Pats play them :lol , beat them Matt Cassel :P
GB @ PHI- will be a crazy game

You gotta admit, the dude looks pretty fucking sexy in that picture.

I didn't realize that Rivers only beat Manning by 10 yards. Shocked that he didn't find a way to get those last few to take the title. :lol
 
Ninja Scooter said:
Blaine Gabbart declared for the draft. I have no idea who he is but say hello to your new QB, FMT!
Click to expand...

He was Chase Daniel's caddy before taking over last year. From what I've seen he has a decent arm, and some mobility but he's played out of the shot gun his entire college career and the offense seems to be 1 read and then run.

Like just about every college QB these days he's a project.

Rorschach said:
NO @ SEA - I'll be rooting for Seattle to go all the way, though. My dream matchup for this post season is Pit/Sea.

NYJ @ IND - Indy would have torn through the Ravens or Jets.

BAL @ KC - KC just got dominated by Raiders second stringers at home. So much for that stadium being supernatural!

GB @ PHI - The only thing making this pick difficult is that Rodgers is playing, but I think the defense can overcome that.
Click to expand...

Hmm could an upstart Seahawks team get the benefit of several poor calls against a clearly superior Stealers team?

No in this universe
 
Sat, Jan 8th
NO @ SEA Please please please
NYJ @ IND Manning > Coach Fatass

Sun, Jan 9th
BAL @ KC Chiefs are a fun team to watch
GB @ PHI Fuck philly


This really is more of who I want to win, opposed to who I think will win.
 
NO @ SEA - they dont have a offense, but you dont need one when brees is gonna give you 4 taints minimum
NYJ @ IND - jersey shore clowns got here by beating shitty nfc teams that imploded in their faces and a easy schedule

BAL @ KC - we'll be waiting for you criminals, youre the last stop on the revenge tour
GB @ PHI - like its even a contest, blowout. Michael Vick Power
 
The Jets Vengeance tour 2011. First stop Indy and payback for last years AFC Championship game, a quick mauling in Foxborough avenging the Monday Night beatdown, a lopsided massacre in Baltimore to make up for the zero offense season opener and finally, the big green battle in Dallas as the New Year Jets beat the Green Bay Packers, 90-0.

No, you definitely far from the favorites.
Click to expand...
That's why I said self-proclaimed, since that's what Rex did last year even though we weren't the favorite by a long shot that time either.
 
Wow Andre Johnson finished only 232 yards behind Lloyd but missed 3 complete games and parts of other games due to his ankle.
 
I really thought there was gonna be some foot fetish in the op how could you pass up Ryan's wife taking it in all 3 holes like a dirty whore with 2 inch nipples?

Rex Ryan's vengeance will be laid down upon the people of Indy and the Manningface will hang like a shining beacon in the sky! Saturday can't come soon enough.

That sounds like an avatar bet!

Colts - Jets is gonna be largely dependent on line play. I don't know if Sanchez can keep up with Manning as far as scores go and I suspect we'll hold them under 100 yards rushing. Manning needs better protection to let plays develop, I don't know if we can just dink and dunk our way through with replacement players.

Oh yeah, and hopefully Good Garcon shows up. He put his ankle in it last year, do it again, Pierre!

Are the Eagles being serious about benching Vick if he plays poorly? It's the offensive line that's garbage not the QB, Kolb can't fix that.
Click to expand...
I hope so seeing vick benched for Kolb and getting steam rolled in the wildcard would be amazing!
 
NO @ SEA - Pressure might actually be on the Saints, imagine being the first team to lose to the first ever losing playoff team? But I can't see it happening, the Hawks blow.

NYJ @ IND - Should be a close game, but gotta take Manning's experience here.

BAL @ KC - On paper this looks like a dream match for the Ravens. But I like Bowe against that secondary and the home crowd will be jacked for the playoffs for the first time in like 4 years.

GB @ PHI - Should be game of the week and a close, relatively high scoring game. I get the feeling the Packer O will be just too much for the Eagle D.
 
Almost forgot, Overtime has those rule changes now for the playoffs.


http://www.chicagonow.com/blogs/chicago-bears-huddle/2011/01/2011-nfl-playoffs-overtime-rule-changes-revisited.html

Way back in March of 2010, NFL owners voted to drastically alter the way playoff games which extend into overtime are decided. In the past, every overtime contest was a sudden-death situation. A coin toss determined the course and the first team to score won. Simple as that.

Teams would rarely, if ever, defer in overtime because - well - it would be stupid. If the object is to score first, it only makes sense to put your offense on the field. Since 1994, teams who received the ball first in OT have won 60 percent of the time. With the new overtime rules, which apply only to the playoffs, that could change.

If you're a bit old-school (like me) sudden-death probably never bothered you. Hey, if you don't win the toss, make the stop. Right? With the Bears set to enter the playoffs, we thought it would be a good time to revisit this issue. Here's a brief look:

Playoff Overtime Rules

Scenario 1: If Team A receives the kick and scores a touchdown on either that possession or drive, Team A wins the game. If Team A turns the ball over and Team B scores a touchdown on either that possession or drive, Team B wins the game.

Scenario 2: If Team A receives the kick and scores a field goal on that drive, Team B will be afforded an opportunity to possess. If Team B scores a touchdown, they win. If Team B scores a field goal, the game is extended and traditional sudden-death rules apply. If Team B fails to score, the game is over.

Scenario 3: If Team A performs an onside kick, whether to begin overtime or after scoring a field goal, and legally recovers the ball, Team B has had its opportunity to possess and a scoring drive (field goal or touchdown) by Team A wins the game.

With that said, more than a few questions are certainly raised. Let's face it, if I'm Team A and I lose the coin toss, I'm thinking very hard about trying for an onside kick. Why not? The only thing I have to lose is field position. If I kick downfield, my only shot is to stop Team B or hold them to a field goal. If I recover the onside kick, I could seal the deal with any score.

Or maybe, a team actually decides to defer in overtime. While I doubt it, there might be some strategy involved. Again, if I am Team A and I am confident that my defense can either force Team B to punt or hold them to a field goal, maybe I'm as equally confident in my offense to score. Not to mention, if Team B does get a field goal, I'm now forced to score; effectively, gaining an extra down. Think about it, Team B isn't going for it on fourth down and potentially putting me right in, or outside, field goal range for the win. If I HAVE to score on my drive, I have to go for it on fourth down. For all intents and purposes, I gain an extra down.

A lot of draft scouts are saying that the Missouri QB (Gabbert) who declared today is better than Locker/Mallet/Newton and should go top 7. Really weird that no one's talked about him at all before today and now he's a projected top 10 pick.

I've been talking about hoping getting him in Tennessee but is he all in for football?
 
the QB crew after Luck this year sucks. Everyone else is a complete crap shoot. Could be great, could be another JP Losman or Patrick Ramsey.

Yeah, it's pretty amazing how irked he must be with Manning beating his Ravens all the time and then last year with the Jets. He should hold all that contempt in however as voicing his opinion only seems to rile up people who seemed surprised he's still voicing his opinion.

Sex Ryan said:
"I've seen him many years at the Pro Bowl and I'm like, 'Man ...'" Ryan said. "You know, it's funny, I respect the heck out of the guy, but I'm going to beat him one day. I just hope it's this Saturday."

My God. The balls on this guy. How dare he. How dare he hope.
