*Kitna named Superbowl MVP!* Official NFL 2013 Postseason thread

No one actually believed in Andy Dalton did they?

Philip Rivers is doing the Eli Manning thing when the Giants won 2 super bowls. Just keep winning when it counts.

 

[MetalMat]

Lol Bengals

 

[smackababy]

And it's over!

I don't know if SD is looking good or Cinci is just awful.

2 fumbles and interception, SD defense played real good.

 

[akugami]

Same old Bungles. I was, once again, duped into thinking they might do something. Especially considering how they ended the season strong. Marvin Lewis needs to be fired. This is getting old. It's been 10 years and Lewis hasn't done much with the team. A big fat zero in the postseason win column for Lewis over his decade long stint as the Bengals coach shows me they need new blood.

We must have been watching a different game, because from what I saw SD only caused one fumble. The rest appear to be caused by Dalton.

I hope he gets better. I really like Dalton and want to see him become great

This D...smh

I meant that in addition to the 2 fumbles & interception, SD defense played good and held CIN back for the entire 2nd half, putting even more pressure on Dalton

 

[Kyle]

This D...smh

yeah you'd think Crabtree would be the one guy they'd really make sure was covered since they went to him so often during that drive...but no- wide open. I haven't watched GB too much this year but D def. didnt look great that first drive

I'm not thinking it was a problem with the coaching as much as poor decision making by the QB, if your on your own 25 and a blitz is going to bury you just get down and take the loss and punt it, just hurling it in the general direction of a receiver who was double-covered is a horrible idea, gives SD a 1st and goal, Dalton has to be coached as to take the sack, yes, SD would get good field position out of it but at least give your defense a chance of stopping them from their own 45 vs your own 3.

 

[akugami]

You said it yourself Butch1, Dalton has to be coached better. The problem is Lewis has had some talent on his teams but the teams have done zero in the playoffs. Lewis has had this team for the last 10 years and they're 0-5 in the playoffs. Lewis has the Bengals slightly above average but they've never been able to leave the level by much. You never felt they were legitimate playoff contenders. If you're a Bengals fan, which I'm not, this has got to get tiring after a decade.

Man, looks like the only thing GB is doing right is goal line defensr.

If getting away with receiver molestation is good goal line defense than yes

 

[RPD]

Well the passing game WAS looking good...

 

[BUTCH1]

Pick by the Pack, they need some kind of spark, they have a total of 6 yards of offense so far and zero 1st downs, total ownage by the SF defense so far..

 

[akugami]

Nice INT by GB and a free hit on Kaep.

 

[manly]

Green Bay's defense has been poor for 3 seasons already, but particularly bad this year when Matthews is out.

No flag on Kaep for leading with the helmet on the tackle?

Not thrilled with McCarthy's play calling so far. It's almost impossible to run it down the throats of the Niners.

The secret to success...

IMHO they just need to win one playoff game and that will get the "monkey" off their back but they've got to teach Dalton how to handle the QB position differently, they weren't getting blown out, no need at all for that horrific pass attempt that gifted SD a TD.
