Championship Round Discussion (Other NFL Teams)

[Mt. Crushmore]

The defense is great but it doesn't have a thing on the 85 bears or 00 ravens. Their offense outside of lynch is nothing intimidating though.

 

Agree.  The Pats need to contain Wilson as a runner.  Once he started running today, the Seattle offense as much better.

 At least from what I've seen, the Ravens that year never left the field defensively. They would've gone undefeated had they had a real offense haha. I agree. 

 

Think Seattle wins this one. Not rooting for either team. Stopped caring when the ravens were eliminated. Outside of the Steelers I make it a point not to hate any team.

He has good legs an okay hail mary but the rest of him I don't see him being nearly as good as flacco.

Yeah I get that it's really tough to continue to wanna watch the playoffs when your team is out. You need real emotion for a team to watch a game intensely and enjoy it.

Wow, a Pats fan who didn't try to incite  a fist fight with me. Bravo haha. You're being classy. Props. Any man who loves American Psycho is a friend of mine. 

 

Best of luck to your Pats. But equal luck to the seahawks . Should be a good game...

Pats has been around here for a while now.  Good guy.

I'm an advocate for a good game. You better not disappoint

[LosT_in_TranSlatioN]

Also an advocate for good discussion... Noted.

For what it's worth, Pats can easily win this game too. Brady, overrated as he is in my eyes, is still a future hall of famer and all time great, and he has good rushers and dlinemen. 

[Pats]

I gotta get work off to watch it on monday the 3rd of feb, 3rd times the charm for me to see us finally win it (started watching football in 06)

[K-Dog]

You think seattle fans will get big heads? Also I shudder to hear the love fest for wilson and the defense.

I REALLY dont mean any disrespect but I love the irony in this post.

At least it isn't the Giants

[DomMcRaven]

They try too much for the big play. I never thought their offense was efficient at moving the chains (that is if Lynch doesn't get going).

[Pats]

Curse you, I can't believe that that 1980s christmas sweater model beat us twice and now he is garbage 

[Inqui]

Pats has been around here for a while now.  Good guy.

One of the few blokes out there that makes me feel bad about rooting against the Patriots or saying anything bad about their fanbase.

[PurpleCity5]

This was all B.S lol

You all hear about this?

Breaking: A league source tells me the NFL is investigating the possibility the Patriots deflated footballs Sunday night. More to come.

 

Bob Kravitz ‏@bkravitz  20m20 minutes ago

I'm told at one point the officials took a ball out of play and weighed it. Should hear more tomorrow on this subject.

 

Bob Kravitz ‏@bkravitz  17m17 minutes ago

Told if a league investigation confirms deflated footballs it will result in lost draft picks. Stay tuned.

What do Packer and Ravens Fans have in common?? Too much optimism and very hard disappointment.  We all saw that     A dead team comes to life and scores 15 points in less than a minute.  Insane.  Jeff Bostic #86 must be completely islolated and despondent  He will need a therapist.   Ball bounces off his helmut.  Coach Belick analyized his role and #86 was to a be a first layer defender and let hands men like Nelson secure the ball and game.  One of best friends of all time is a Packers fan.  I feel for him . Even moreso now.  We are now despondent souls in the NFL brotherhood,

 

In other exciting news, we have our old friends the Colts, getting head slapped and kicked in the ribs by the notorious Pats.  We played great against them and put the Pats to the brink. The Colts died and consider 45-7, a crush.  Well another Super Bowl where I have little interest.  I'll root for the Hawks  as they remind  me of Ravens teams especially that 011 team,        Hey wear Purple

I thought Evans/Cundiff was bad but that was the worst playoff meltdown I've ever seen. Recover the onside and the game is literally over  Painful for Packers fans, and I feel awful for Bostick, who is likely getting death threats.

[ratedr]

Packers fans should really blame McCarthy, who was way too conservative.

 

Or Burnett, who inexplicably took a knee after Wilson's 4th INT.

[stampedehero]

Today, I met a Pittsburgh Steeler fan and we made eye contact.  First thing we both said  "Best Rivalry"  The conversation was a love fest for our games and teams with typical fan hate placed to the side.  I know that the true appreciation we shared is about the rivalry, intense play in our battles and Respect.  When it comes to the Pats I cannot feel that way  The Steeler and Ravens fans have one other parameter to share             Our mutual hate of the Pats team

Yeah.  That 011 AFC game still lingers in the recess of my mind.  This game was as bad as it gets  I thoughy we were the only ones that needed group therapy. 

[stampedehero]

We should start a condolence center and send our messages to the Packer site

Lost Draft picks  How about a real hard schedule for a decade and an expulsion of the staff that did that.

That final 4 minutes was a twist. Burnett wanted no fumble and obviously Bostick never believed his hands and helmut would be his enemy. With that point, I can indicate that one play as the reason for failure and not necessarily the head coach.

After the Detroit/Dallas, Green Bay/Dallas, and Ravens/Pats, there was a lot about "one play doesn't change the game" talk just about everywhere, but with those games and what happened today in Seattle, it leaves one wondering a bit.

It was so stunning that the leaning tower of Pisa righted itself straight. I never saw a swing like that since Pats/ Ravens 2011.  This was worse

[Pats]

I'm not even gonna comment on that ridiculous indy writer accusing us of deflating balls. This is just getting sad now and they are really reaching. I could pull up all the reasons why this is bunk and how unreliable the guy is and the fact that the refs are in control of all the balls among another litany of questions but it's not worth the time.

[Cville-Raven]

Indy are on a level slightly above Cincy. Still have zero confidence they will ever do anything special in the postseason.
