Seattle is so dirty but yet not a single unsportsmanlike or roughness penalties

I cannot wait for Matt Ryan to light them up, the refs ALWAYS let them skate, tired of it.

[Cville-Raven]

So much home cooking here by the refs. That ball was uncatchable? 

[jboy19]

Anquan Boldin should technically be ejected because of two "unsportsmanlike conduct" penalties. 

[Pats]

booo detroit, neither of these teams deserve to advance

[redlobster]

there is no excuse for Detroit to not stop the run.

 

ngata is being double teamed, Robinson is being double teamed. Should leave plenty of Detroit defenders free

[redlobster]

Jimmy graham is such a fake tough guy

[jboy19]

I feel bad for Detroit. They're being completely outplayed. 

[52520Andrew]

Seattle running all over Detroit

[Pats]

So with this win I can see atlanta going to the NFC title game and the packers/giants upsetting dallas

[DomMcRaven]

GG Lions.

As a whole, yeah. Though I think Stafford actually played better than Wilson in this game, it's just that he didn't get any help from his receivers.

Agreed. Stafford has made some unbelievable throws.

Atlanta was my NFC pick for the Super Bowl regardless. I have Dallas losing in the divisional round.

Ive definitely been impressed with Stafford. The Lions OL has been good too. 

[jboy19]

Hester falling down to make every fair catch is somewhat vindicating.

Yeah I could see dallas being bundled out in the divisionals too. Atlanta actually lucked out with the 2 seed getting the easier matchup in the divs.

Lolz at these refs, horrendous roughing passer call

Personal fouls do not lead to ejection. Only unsportsmanlike conduct fouls do that.

Yeah the refs erred by calling them personal fouls. Striking a player is always unsportsmanlike conduct. 

[LosT_in_TranSlatioN]

That catch shall forever be known as the "Butt catch"

[redlobster]

These gloves players have now are like stickum. 

[jboy19]

Playoff Garbage Time 

[Nge2grads]

Stafford played well but the Lions did not play well enough.  The calls all seemed to go Seattle's way.  

[52520Andrew]

Seattle got just about every bounce tonight

No kidding

[52520Andrew]

It was a good year for the Lions though, not many people thought they would be any good without Calvin Johnson but they make it back to postseason. Have to wonder what might have happened had Stafford not injured his finger. Clearly affected his play

I play streak for the cash and it hurts putting my win streak on the line, picking the Steelers to beat the Dolphins.

Any way the Dolphins make it out with a win?

I think they can win if they do it the way they beat the Steelers earlier, tons of pressure on Ben and Ajayi having a great game. I don't think the chances of it happening are great, but but the chance is there.

How big a streak are you working with?

Not a chance. Even if the Steelers don't get them, the cold will. 

And I think there's something to be said for Pitts experience in playoff games. Hardly any of the dolphins really know what it's like.
