2013-14 NFL Wild Card Weekend: The Philip Rivers Spectacular

[archibaldcrane]

Denver and Seattle repeated their #1 and #2 DVOA ranking this year. Guess who else repeated their DVOA rankings? Dallas, at #16, and Detroit, at #17. The two most average teams in the league for two years in a row.

[archibaldcrane]

Green Bay is the only team in the playoffs who has not beaten another playoff team. The Bengals have beaten all 4 they played. The Chargers have the most wins vs. playoff teams with 5.

Dalton (Bengals) can't beat good teams.

[archibaldcrane]

Brees has surpassed Rodgers in career completion %. They are both right on Chad Pennington's tail, at 66%, 65.9%, and 65.8%.

Strangely, Brees's home completion % is lower than Rodgers, while his road completion % is higher.

The comments.

Expected wind chill for 49ers/Packers kickoff is -30.

holy shit

I don't even understand how you can be outside in football gear in that, even with sleeves. Wind cuts right through all of that, noone will be able to feel their fingers or toes, don't care how much time you spend under heaters on the sidelines.

[Mertron]

the duck dynasty comparison was lol worthy

[archibaldcrane]

It's actually not too dissimilar from the Duck Dynasty scenario, other than that the Vikings aren't saying he was cut because of his comments.

Chiefs

Chargers
Packers

There is a God

[Mertron]

fun stat: there were only 3 shutouts all year

the dolphins against the bills
and the giants twice (panthers Seahawks)

[Dimmauk]

I dreamt that the Eagles and Chiefs were in Superbowl. It was. 0-0 in the 4th cause both kickers missed all the FGs. Then Chip unleashed his double QB formation. Foles throws it to Vick, who throws to Desean who is running along the sideline. As Jackson is about to score, Andy steps in his way causing Desean to fumble on the 1 yard line.

Then I woke up.

Please God let this happen.

[Mertron]

if that happens i would take it

as long as the refs gave the eagles the touchdown

[Azull]

In the radio interview he did on the Dan Lebatard show he did come off as someone who wants to blame others for his career ending. I don't doubt that what he said happened did happen as far as his coach was concerned just as I don't doubt he got cut because they got someone who can do what he does for less then half the price.

Already making excuses

[Adajer]

Are suicide gifs frowned upon?


Clearly the Bears have money to throw into the Trashcan...I'll get my satisfaction when Cutlet's diabetes and annual injury come in to play around week 4-7. I hope they saved some money for the defense....


Anyhoo. Know you guys dont care but im calling a Super Bowl Rematch Pats vs Seahawks or Panthers. Pats will win out either way.
