Are You Ready For Some Football - Play Offs

[-Jrabbit]

Can't believe I talked myself into picking Denver. They looked awfully Bear-like out there...
Completely ineffectual.

Cool. Looks like the Eagles have a shot at going 15-1 next year.

Stuie, the Eagles are good but let's be realistic - the only way they could go 15-1 is if they play Atlanta every game next year. The way we kicked Atlanta's butt regular season this year and in the playoffs last year was just a shame. I wish we were facing Vick this Sunday instead of Favre. Unfortunately, the only thing Vick will be facing this weekend is the TV set.

What are the Packers chances for winning on Sunday? Slim.

Favre's stats for the Packers 17-14 loss to the Eagles in Novermber: 14/22 for 109 yards td, int ...Packers 68 net yards passing.

Ahman Green ran for 192 yards and they still couldn't beat the Eagles.

Packers had greater time of possession and total yards than Eagles and still couldn't win. O n Monday night. At Lambeau.

Goodnight, Packers...

Um... you do know that in the regular season this year, you were playing a team without Vick, right?

My guess is you wouldn't want to play the Falcons every game next year. With Vick, a fancy new defense (well some parts, and probably Lovie Smith leading them, you'd want to watch out .

Actually it's very good. Like you said the Eagles beat the Packers 17-14 in November. That ain't a blowout by any means. And Farve has been playing out of his mind the last few weeks. Philly better not take the Pack lightly or they'll escape with a win.

Most unintentionally funny moment of the weekend: The entire Denver Broncos defense standing around and comparing hair-care notes while Marvin Harrison got up and ran into the end zone untouched.



Honorable mention: The look on Hasselbeck's face after he threw the interception...

Somehow I find it hard to get worried about a team led by a man named "Lovie". Lovie will have a "fancy" defense, you say? Sure, they'll be dressed in lace and ribbons and block like ballerinas. Yeah, they'll be hungry for sacks all right -- nutsacks, that is .... Lovie...

Even though Philly one in regular season, I think Wild Card week proved regular season results mean absoltely nothing going into a play-off game

Go ahead and think that way. I'm sure people thought the same thing about a coach who cried and said I love you to his players (ie, **** Vermeil)... then watch them steamroll over you .

But Indy nuked Denver with Portis, by a bigger scoreline than in the regular season.

Quite frankly, I think Dungy knew that the Colts were likely to play Denver again in the playoffs, and used the regular season game as a "trial run". Denver couldn't do that, they needed the win. Indianapolis did to a much much lesser extent, and could afford to try out new things.

no

I think that's silly as well. Indy was fighting for a division title. They wouldn't have treated the game as a 'trial run'.

ixnay is awful silent about his packers. Perhaps due to lack of confidence? But why would he lack confidence about his team? After all, they are a team of "destiny" this year ...

[-Jrabbit]

You misspelled that, bfg. It's "Green Bay Packers -- Team of Density."

...and yeah, the lack of ixnay's crowing is oddly unsettling.

[Brundlefly]

Wanted to make an avatar out of this, but don't know how to....

[Zopperoni]

I doubt Ixnay will help you with that.

[Ming]

It doesn't look like he needed Ixnay's help after all

[badams52]

Well, I made it avatar size...53x80, but I'm not good enough to shrink the size down to <10k. Someone else will have to do that one.
