NFL Playoffs

[GatorJ]

I can't believe we don't have a thread on this. To start off, I love the fact that the Giants got spanked by the Packers. Aaron Rodgers is the best QB not named Brady.

My beloved Dolphins got their asses spanked. One and done. But at least they got in?

Is Moore alive?

I loved that end of the half TD for the Packers. The Giants did the same thing to the Packers years ago in the playoffs, so payback was great. Of course Cobb gave the defender a bit of a push, but eh. Odell dropped a few passes. The cold must have gotten to him.

I think for the first time in history all the teams won over the weekend that I was cheering for. Sorry Fish fans! However, it will probably not go so well this coming weekend. I'll be cheering for the Chiefs, Texans, Hawks and Packers.
Chiefs (my team) play the Steelers (wife's team) for a showdown at the house on Sunday. We're hoping the winner of that game plays the Hawks (my Son's team) in the SB.

No way that the Oilers beat the Pats. That's right. I refuse to call them the Texans.

I had Bell, Rothlisberger, and Brown on my FF football team. The Steelers basically rested everybody for the last two weeks of the season. So I was wiped out in the first round of playoffs.

Rodgers has hit 3 consecutive hail Mary tries...that's gotta be a record

Do you call the Ravens the Browns? That could get tricky.

I thought he pushed off somebody's back when I first saw it, but relooking at it, it appears the defender in front of Cobb was facing him and Cobb pushed him in the chest to get separation. If he had pushed off the back, then I could see a penalty, but I think it's kind of a gray area when he gets separation by pushing off the front.

There is so much of that on Hail Mary's. I think Buck and Aikman said they stuff never gets called.

I used to be Oilers fan back when they had Pastorini, White Shoes, Burroughs, Carpenter and Earl Campbell. Hated the Steelers and dropped them when they moved to TN.

Technically, the Titans are the old Oilers and the Texans are an expansion team. Just sayin...

Sorry J, that's typical Pittsburgh..once they make it they have always rested players...

No. In the spirit of keeping original names, I call them the Colts.

Yeah. It was a short sighted plan. Basically dominate the season and then crap in the playoffs.

But, shouldn't you be calling them the Seahawks?

Seems like the Oakland-Houston game reinforced the importance of having a quality quarterback. (Same story for the Dolphins...to a lesser extent). Even though the Raiders were the better team throughout the season they were sunk once they had to go to their third string QB. Connor Cook is no Derek Carr.

I believe this issue is at the root of the Gators' struggles over the last few years, overshadowing coaching, play calling, recruiting, etc. If and when a game-chaning QB once again lines up behind center.....brighter days will follow.

 

[Gator Fever]

Go Cowboys. I am definitely nervous about them playing the Packers with Rodgers playing well now. I hope Prescott can keep having good games. Both sides are wide open especially the NFC and I could see the Pittsburgh/Kansas City winner beating New England.
