Are You Ready for some Football - Playoffs Week Two

Ming · January 11, 2003, 12:59

Two great match ups today. The only problem I have is that they don't start until much later this afternoon.

Does Pitt have anything left in reserve after last week.
Will McNabb be back in form...

Are you ready for some Football...

FOOTBALL!!

Chris 62 · January 11, 2003, 13:11

I'm still bumbed over the G-men blowing the lead last week.

Won't feel better till kick-off.

Ming · January 11, 2003, 13:14

Im just pissed the games start so late. I have stuff to do tonight... and NOTHING to do this afternoon... sigh.

Imran Siddiqui · January 11, 2003, 13:16

It's TV, Ming. As an Ad person, you should know that

.

Ming · January 11, 2003, 14:40

I know... the later in the day, the larger the available audience... sigh... but it still sucks

Inverse Icarus · January 11, 2003, 15:12

re the thread title: no, no i am not.

Chris 62 · January 11, 2003, 15:17

Only about an hour now.

JohnT · January 11, 2003, 15:21

Go Falcons!!!!! All the way to Vicktory!!!!!

Chris 62 · January 11, 2003, 15:24

Falcs have a shot, only Dan Reeves can hold them back.

Ming · January 11, 2003, 16:03

The Falcons have their work cut out for them. Green Bay had no real receivers thanks to all their injuries, and played a lack luster game. I think the Eagles will provide them with a much better test

Chris 62 · January 11, 2003, 16:18

Almost kickoff time, I thought it would never come.

Ming · January 11, 2003, 16:37

Yes about time... Pitts throws the interception, and the Titans are on the march...

SlowwHand · January 11, 2003, 18:19

Maybe next year, Titans.

H Tower · January 11, 2003, 19:09

football shootball, Illinois had a basketball this afternoon

Berzerker · January 11, 2003, 20:20

Crap, Pitt covers, not a good start to the weekend

Berzerker · January 11, 2003, 20:21

GO $ THE TD DAMNIT!!!

Berzerker · January 11, 2003, 20:21

DAMN!!!

I really thought Atlanta can win. I know I predicted them to win in another thread. I was wrong

. Philly's defense was just to good.

And of course I predicted Tennessee to win. I didn't think they would stuggle so much doing so. You have to give it to Bill Cower keeping his team in the game. I really didn't think he was that good a coach until the last two weeks.

Chris 62 · January 12, 2003, 10:36

Another questionable call in overtime, that running into the kicker was bull.
It was incedental at best, to give the Titans another kick in OT was rediculous, as was the refs ignoring Cower trying to call time before the kick.

I expect to see the same monky shines from Tagliabue this week, more appologies, followed by "vows" to clean up the game.

The Eagles were to much for Dan Reeves, McNabb looked pretty good after the long layoff.

Dis · January 12, 2003, 13:37

I don't think they should be able to call timeout that late anyways. They called it half a second before the snap. They had already snapped and kicked. I think that is bullshit.

Bucs defense comes through again. Field goal for SF. And like I predicted the Bucs offense can score with Brad Jonhnson at the helm. Esp. against a not so good SF defense.

Chris 62 · January 12, 2003, 13:39

Good SF defense?

Didn't the G-men score 38 on them last week?

Dis · January 12, 2003, 13:40

not so good.

Ming · January 12, 2003, 13:40

It looks like the making of a good game. Too bad SF had to settle for the Field Goal... At least the game started at a reasonable time. A great afternoon to just veg on the coach and watch football.

Dis · January 12, 2003, 13:41

I can't help it if you live too far East ming. The games were on at a perfect time for me

mactbone · January 12, 2003, 13:53

The Tennessee/Pitt game was pretty good. I turned it on when Pitt was getting blown out in the first and I figured that the Titans had too much momentum - but turnovers really made a difference and kept the game close. Speaking of turnovers - I had the sound off during the game so I never heard the announcers it explain it, but did Eddie George lose conciousness on his second fumble? Right after the hit you could see him go completely limp, but when the trainers got to him, he was able to sit up and go back in the game later. I wonder if there are any rules concerning severely injured players while a play is still going on - say a guy lacerates his arm and blood is shooting out, can the trainers come on the field? What are the protocols for serious injuries while a play is in motion? Especially injuries where time is a factor.

reismark · January 12, 2003, 14:33

Gruden better be saying to the boys in there: "Don't be like the Giants!"

Ming · January 12, 2003, 14:37

Really... SF looks dazed and confused. I hope the second half is more interesting. The game started good, and then SF just gagged

Joseph · January 12, 2003, 14:45

Now if you guys live out here Calif., the game started just right. 10:00 AM. Can't see the TV from the computer room so I will now leave.

Chris some very good post in the Churchill story.

I'm still stunned they are in the playoffs at all. Goes to show how much I was following football this year.
