NFL Divisional Round: Uncharted Territory

[Tyche]

WTF, Tyree is tackling on special teams?

[Tajin]

All the flying thingies are getting shot out of the picture, next MIN and Jets?

[Headspace]

Lethargic sure, but "uninspired"? niggas were in the got damn playoffs

[Tajin]

R.I.P. lawl

[Tekki]

Nail in coffin

[Vobent]

Getting hurt is worth it for a catch like that.


Almost.

[Tekki]

God i wanted tickets so bad this year... and AFC champ tickets... just couldn't pull it together this year to get em.

I want a Playoff rematch with the Chargers for the AFC championship.

Should be an exciting day tomorrow.

Almost.

I wouldn't be happy if I were a Colts fan, with the game pretty much decided.. Bethea being a really good safety and all.

[Ryany]

The Jets most certainly won't be in the rear-view mirror for the Colts (like the announcers said) if they play them next week.

[Sol-Blackguy]

Looks like the Ravens would rather beat themselves than lose to Manning Penalties seems to be their one weakness this year.

[Akiyama]

They were also at home and didn't score a single TD.

Didn't score a single TD and still only lost by TWO points. Yeah.. your point?

[Tyche]

That the Ravens are mediocre...I think I've said that about 15 times already.

[Sol-Blackguy]

This is the correct response. Why can't he ever just fucking make a normal INT. As a head coach, that would make me want to bench him. Even though this time wasn't because of something he did really (Garcon was amazing), he needs to calm his ass down with trying to be a hero, for real.

W/e though, Gogo Manning.

Raven's defense actually has several tip/lateral drills for returning interceptions and fumbles. Saw them practicing during pre-season the last time I went to Baltimore. All those times you see a players lateral to each other are fully planned ahead of time.

I know hindsight is 20/20 and all, but I can't see how the potential payoff for a lateral after an INT can outweigh the bad that could happen. I would imagine the emotional swing after a turnover would be enough. NFL is just too full of amazing athletic people to try something like that.

But with all that said, it makes watching exciting.

And just to clarify, not talking about tonight in particular. That was just Garcon in beastmode after seeing someone else catch that pass.

Edit: Fucking love that avatar. That face is gold.

[tommygunnz]

Too fucking easy, bring on the Chargers.

[Tekki]

i want a gif of Garcon chasing that dude down after the missed pass

If you had a 2nd year QB that thinks Derrick Mason is Larry Fitzgerald wouldn't try to make your defense capable of scoring off of picks?

[Plow]

I completely forgot to fix my terrible gridiron challenge team, fortunately I can still just pick all the Chargers.

[Nyx]

Awesome. I'm unbanned just in time for the games today.

[Chun Liroy]

Bout fucking time. Anyways Predictions:
Indy - Poor Flacco
Cardinals - Poor Kurt Warner
Dallas - I wouldn't be surprised if Dallas blows them out, wins it close, or Minnesota wins it close, but I would be surprised if Minnesota blows out Dallas. If we win, we are going to do it through the air and with pitch tosses to Felix because honestly, Barber is going to be a non-factor with a banged up knee and having to run at the williams wall. Last time Romo completely fucked it up for them was in week 2, remember, and we still nearly won even with a retarded Int off Wittens foot. Only thing I'm worried about is Sidney rice because we've been struggling with slot/3rd WRs and that is our main weakness.
