Wait, what? Cincinnati made it in? WHAT?!

Shocked

by Sparkz47 Sun Jan 01, 2012 11:58 pm

Ugh, my Titans didn't make it. But, they made a valiant last-minute effort. We'll get 'em next year.

As for the teams that ARE in the playoffs, I guess I'll be pulling for the Lions. They've been the laughing stock of the league for so long now, and it's refreshing to see them do well. That, and Matthew Stafford's no slouch in the QB position.

I know, scary isn't it?

I'll be hoping for a Baltimore - Detroit Super Bowl. But frankly, so long as the Patriots and Steelers don't make it, I'll be happy

Unfortunately New Orleans will wipe the floor with Detroit.

My gut says I have to agree with you. But, this is the first time since 1999 that Detroit has been in this position. So, I'm not going to say anything until it's over.

I think they said that about the Saints-Seahawks game, and we all know what happened.

I hope the Steelers get healthy before the next game.

DETROIT
and Falcons are going to WIN What a Face

by Blake Camphausen Mon Jan 02, 2012 12:21 pm

I generally have no one to pull for, however, I do like TT, so I guess I'll be pulling for Denver this time in the Playoffs, although they have no shot against the Steelers, that defense will kill poor Timmy.

^Ditto

And I am also shocked that the Bengals made it this far, considering how much turmoil has been going on with Carson Palmer and the Bengals and the team losing some players last year. I'm amazed the 49ers have been as good as they've been this year. Being that I grew up near the NJ/NY area, I'm going to pull for the Giants, even though they might not have the best shot of making it to the Super Bowl, but we all knew what happened on the year the Giants won it all in '08.

I sure hope Timmy has no shot.

v, why do you hate Tim Tebow? He led the Broncos to the playoffs!

I love the kid, but he stands no shot against that defense.

I'm assuming I'm the only person on here who's super excited about a 6-10 record.

by JMac525 Fri Jan 06, 2012 6:02 pm

Go Broncos! It's highly unlikely they'll win, but I'd love it as a fan.

by RealRacer4 Sat Jan 07, 2012 4:38 pm

Post-season has officially started. Bengals and Texans playing now, Lions and Saints play later. Should be interesting.

by Sparkz47 Sat Jan 07, 2012 4:57 pm

Let's go Cincinnati Bagels!

1st half is over. I think it's been a pretty good game so far between the 2 teams.

by RealRacer4 Sat Jan 07, 2012 7:37 pm

Bengels are out. Lions and Saints play next.

by Chives2112 Sat Jan 07, 2012 7:53 pm

My freaking Texans! Very Happy

by RealRacer4 Sat Jan 07, 2012 8:09 pm

Glad to see them win their 1st playoff game in franchise history. I was concerned about them being that they had trouble keeping their QBs heathly. Seems like they really don't need one to play good. I'd like to see the Lions win this game, but Saints might win this one. Then again, we all know what happened when the Saints played the Seahawks last year.

by RealRacer4 Sat Jan 07, 2012 10:50 pm

I know beating the Saints is not an easy to do, but just the way the Lions have been playing is just pathetic.

by FlashRod4 Sun Jan 08, 2012 11:09 am

Damn it Dalton

Detriots secondary gave up the second half. They were looking like the cowboys out there Razz

by RealRacer4 Sun Jan 08, 2012 1:19 pm

Giants-Falcons game is underway. I hope Giants pull this one off.

They've been playing well so far, aside from that one safety. But, honestly, there really wasn't much Manning could do about that.

by racingfreak1999 Sun Jan 08, 2012 4:10 pm

GIANTS WIN!!!!!

by RealRacer4 Sun Jan 08, 2012 4:33 pm

That was an awesome game. I'm curious to see how the G-Men will do against the Packers next week. That and the Saints-49ers game should be really good. Time for the Steelers-Broncos game to start!

by navycook75 Sun Jan 08, 2012 8:10 pm

How about them Dever Broncos?

by **antknee** Sun Jan 08, 2012 8:11 pm

The Tebows win!

by RealRacer4 Sun Jan 08, 2012 8:13 pm

Trolololololololololol!!!! So much for those complicated overtime rules! That was hilarious!

by FlashRod4 Sun Jan 08, 2012 8:15 pm

TIM TEBOW!! Laughing

All the haters can sit down!

by day500champ1 Sun Jan 08, 2012 8:17 pm

As much as I think Denver is going to get knocked down a peg vs New England, they played a great game today.

by Sparkz47 Sun Jan 08, 2012 8:38 pm

So, according to the stats, Tebow accumulated 316 yards overall against the Steelers today. Laughing

by AntmanB Sun Jan 08, 2012 8:45 pm

my Hate for TIm Tebow is almost as much as my Hate for JImmie JOhnson. 'Tis true.

I honestly think the Steelers didn't have much of a chance to win, being they had a lot of injured players to deal with. Not to mention, I was pulling for the Broncos to win this one. Also, the fact that the Broncos keep on trolling and fans keep hating with a huge passion is hilarious.

Well, I was actually getting at something completely unrelated to his performance.

I bet ESPN has the biggest Teboner right now Laughing

To ESPN, Tim Tebow is the Danica Patrick of the NFL.

This weekend's schedule:

Saturday:
4:30 P.M. Eastern Time - New Orleans Saints VS. San Francisco 49ers (FOX)
8:00 P.M. Eastern - Denver Broncos VS. New England Patriots (CBS)

Sunday:
1:00 P.M. Eastern Time - Houston Texans VS. Baltimore Ravens (CBS)
4:30 P.M. Eastern - New York Giants VS. Green Bay Packers (FOX)

1st game - I'd like to see the 49ers win and I think they can pull it off at home.
2nd game - Screw the Patriots. I'd like to see the "God of Football" win this one, especially since I hate the Patriots.
3rd game - I think Baltimore will win this one but who knows what might happen.
4th game - You know who I'll be rooting for. Giants all the way. They came really close to beating the Packers in the regular season and I feel like they got a legitimate shot at it.

by **antknee** Thu Jan 12, 2012 10:22 pm

I think this week will go according to expectations.

New Orleans 34 - San Fran 24
Denver 13 - New England 27
Houston 21 - Baltimore 24
New York 20 - Green Bay 31

Houston-Baltimore should be the closest game and could go either way.
