Week 17 Discussion (Other NFL Teams)

Wow

[ratedr]

The kicker forces the fumble. LOL. This one isn't over.

[Inqui]

Patterson making a play for both sides - gets the Vikings great territory and promptly coughs it up.

[DomMcRaven]

MIN is about to be the #6 seed at this rate. 

[ratedr]

Game is about to be tied...

[JO_75]

Well.... that will basically seal it. An Aaron Rodgers interception will give Minnesota the NFC North Title in 2015.

[52520Andrew]

Big stop for the Vikings

[ratedr]

Pack having to burn that timeout was HUGE.

[Purple Nurple]

Fun 2nd half

[52520Andrew]

Real close call there

[JO_75]

Wow.... AP almost gave it all away. 

[ratedr]

I just screamed "OH MY GOD" at that fumble.

[Purple Nurple]

Dodged a bullet

[ratedr]

Vikings defense is good but their offense is hot garbage.

And on the replay...bad throw from Rodgers.

[JO_75]

If this ends up with a failed defense of a hail mary by the Vikings and the Packers win, this will just put a cap to the crazy season we have had.

[JO_75]

Your 2015 NFC North Champs... The Minnesota Vikings.

[ratedr]

Exciting game.

[Bengal Billy]

I'm very excited and I'm going to the game to hopefully see some fights between the team and the fans. It should be a very hostile environment on both fronts.

I'll be at the game too. But hopefully I won't have to witness fights between fans. That's No Bueno. Why would fans be fighting over something they have no control over? But I'm sure somewhere there will be some idiots doing that.

The teams on the other hand,, yeah that will probably get pretty "chippy".

What a game. Packers offense is gonna be deadly. 

[52520Andrew]

Fun game

[ratedr]

Ready for the unexpected. I don't think SEA will blow out MIN again.

My predictions:

PIT > CIN

KC > HOU

SEA > MIN

WAS > GB

[Pats]

The vikings reward for winning the div is a nightmare game against seattle while the packers get the mediocre redskins.

 

Pit over Cincy

Sea over Min

KC over Hou

GB over Wash

I think many people are going to end up under estimating the Redskins in the playoffs. 

 

My predictions:

 

- Steelers over Bengals(Hopefully the Bengals find a way to win)

- Chiefs over Houston

- Seahawks over Vikings

- Redskins over Packers

Agreed. Have to wonder if people have actually been watching them. They have played very good ball lately.

Well the packers usually have one decent game in them for the playoffs and the redskins are a good team for them to shake their lacklustreness off of. I want the vikings and cincy towin but im pretty sure they both wont. Im honestly hoping kansas goes all the way.

Yea nothing physical obviously, but there will probably be a lot more animosity going on between the fans compared to what the environment was like today.

The Redskins game is tricky to call. Both teams have been a unrecognizable of late.

I'm with you on KC. I definitely want them to be the AFC representative. I doubt they'll stand much of a chance against Car or Ari, but they aren't divisional rivals nor are they NE so that makes them acceptable in my book.

[Bengal Billy]

You're probably right. I've been to quite a few Bengals vs Steelers games in Cincy. I have seen a lot of "jawing" back and forth between fans, but not anything physical thank goodness. Emotions will probably be extra charged for a playoff game though.

Closest incident to physicality I witnessed was a few weeks ago at Bengals vs Steelers (the game Dalton/Eifert got hurt).

2 Steelers fans sitting directly in front of us were really intoxicated (not uncommon at a game). Anyway, around 3rd qtr when game was out of hand, those Steelers fans were getting pretty obnoxious. They were walking our of their seats towards the aisle, and one of them intentionally knocked a woman's drink and snacks out of her hands and it spilled all over her (it certainly looked intentional,, but he was very intoxicated). Fans all around them got in their face and demanded that he apologize and pay her for the money wasted on the concessions. Steelers fan was definitely at fault, but it quickly escalated into those two fans being surrounded by a pretty big mob in their face. It was VERY close to being a nasty physical situation when a couple security guys showed up,, thankfully to calm everything down.

I was very glad it didn't get any worse. But, stuff like that takes away from a great "gameday experience" and distracts from the actual game itself.

Thankfully that is the worst I've ever witnessed. Attending hundreds of Cincy games, I've always found courtesy and willingness to get along between Bengals fans and many other team's opposing fans. I've never had any problems at all with visiting Ravens fans. I have sat next to Ravens fans on a few occasions,, we've always gotten along and had a good time.

Cowboys and Steelers fans have been the most obnoxious. But, the above incident is the worst that I've personally witnessed.

I really hope nothing bad happens between fans at this next game that will ruin a playoff atmosphere experience for fans.

The way I see all this happening and I might as well just post my full post season predictions. I see KC beating the Patriots in the divisional round to advance to the Championship game.

 

Wild Card: Steelers over Bengals, Chiefs over Texans; Redskins over Packers, Seahawks over Vikings

 

Divisional Round: Broncos over Steelers, Chiefs over Patriots; Cardinals over Redskins, Seahawks over Panthers

 

Championship: Broncos over Chiefs; Cardinals over Seahawks

[Cville-Raven]

-I've got Cincy actually winning over Pittsburgh 

-Seahawks beat everyone in the NFC and go to their 3rd straight SB

-Chiefs beats Houston (chiefs are the most dangerous team in the AFC)

- slurs over Greenbay (feel awful for even typing that but Greenbay have been absoollutely horrible lately.)
