Official NFL playoff thread

[Shlong]

Smart rebuilding and intelligent managment.

Saints have the best NFL Road record since 2009 - only 6 road losses in last 3 seasons,
plus the one to Seattle last playoff series.
24 -6 over three years.
One road loss in last last two playoff seasons.

They also seem to have issues against NFC West teams on the road. Last year - close game against the 49ers last year on the road, loss against Cardinals last year on the road, loss against Seahawks last year on the road, loss this year against the Rams on the road. Saints are beasts at home, but against the NFC West on the road they seem to have some struggles.

weird seeing the bungles in the playoffs

 

[fustercluck]

Hate ticky-tac pass interference calls, wayyyyyyy too many of those in the NFL (and we just saw one). Can't just give a team 50+ yards every time one of their WRs doesn't catch one.

 

[sao123]

that penalty on the tackle for unnecessary roughness was an absolutely terrible call.

EFFIN TERRIBLE!

Had the receiver taken the requisite steps? No.
Was the hit directly to the receiver's head? Yes.

The end.

The announcer on the Bengals/Texans game has a lisp... great.

 

[MotF Bane]

Bengals #18 is a lazy blocker.

 

[rcpratt]

That's clearly a catch. Simultaneous possession at worst.

Then again, after the Sugar Bowl, I have absolutely no clue what a catch is.

 

[MotF Bane]

Gonna be another wasted challenge.

 

[Shlong]

Bengals out of challenges, might cost them later in the game.

 

[KMFJD]

Go Lions!

 

[KLin]

Best pick 6 EVAR!

Don't ever bet against Detroit!

Roger Goddell? Yes.
Kinder gentler football? Yes.
New NFL = pussy league? Hell yes!

The end.

You're right, just about every time this season that I bet on them to win, they disappoint. That includes the last game of the regular season.

What a craptacular team that is.

 

[Capt Caveman]

Damn, Cincinnati is so bad. It would have been great if they had to go to NE next week but it's not going to happen.

 

[MotF Bane]

Joseph #24 is an idiot. Just bat the ball down, free 20 yards!

 

[Chaotic42]

Well, the Bengals are about done. It kind of looked like the defender's second foot hit the line, but I guess it didn't.

put a fork in them now for sure

 

[MotF Bane]

And the Bungles collapse has been completed.

 

[ghost recon88]

and Cincinnasty is done for

 

[SSSnail]

WOW, didn't realize Bungles is so bunglelicious. Oh well, Sssnail will just have less monies...

 

[hdeck]

woohoo we're gonna win.

 

[zinfamous]

that run by Foster...holy shit. Is that just bad tackling by Cincy dude or pure awesomeness by Foster?

The Cincy CB just watched and did nothing, while the safety after getting stiff-armed, thought he was going out of bounds and stopped trying. Losers.
