Playoff stuff - Let the trash talk begin

[Hector]

Here's my honest take on the Niners vs Packers game without trash talking:

IMO Green Bay ain't gonna win, their defense is mediocre...Niners defense is simply superior, and will beat them for the fourth straight time.

Rodgers IMO is the best QB in the league, but I don't think he's 100%, and that cold arse weather is going to affect him as much as Kap, remember, Rodgers is a Bay Area native, he don't like cold weather either. The difference in this game is which team has the superior defense (defense dominates in cold weather), and clearly the Niners have the advantage there. I also think Kap could potentionally have the better game than Rodgers, simply because he's the much better runner (which suits a scrambling QB better in cold weather situations). Had this game been held in nice weather, I'd be a lot more worried, Rodgers would unleashed his arial attack more effectively, but I'm afraid the chill factor might, as unbelievable as it sounds, effect the Packers more than the Niners in this instance.

Niners 24, Packers 17

^^ depends on who you were rooting for. Wow.

Saints up 20-7. Well, this one is over. No team can overcome such a huge deficit in a playoff game...

[jwyblejr]

Saints won at the last minute.

[steelcouch]

Yes they did.

Delirious here in Colts land today! Awesome comeback by Luck and the Colts!! If Cincy wins today, Colts will play Broncos - that will be bitter sweet for me. But at least either my Colts or Manning would be guaranteed to be in the AFC Championship. Gonna be fun to watch how everything plays out.

With Yesterday's 2 comebacks will SD be able to stave off the high powered Cinn offense... SD has the ball with less than 5 mins and the ball on their side of mid field???

Hats off to Rodgers, he's a bad man... He certainly kept his team in the end.

But Niners defense was better, and as I said before, Kap's running ability would come into play in that frozen tundra.

The Panthers are next, and that's gonna be one a tough one for the Niners.

I thought the games so far have been fun to watch. Maybe next year the Dolphins will actually be one of those teams, but in the meantime I hope the games continue to be interesting to watch.

That was a nail biter for sure, I may try and go to NC for the game there, its only three hours away. Kinda depends on the temp. this week. Its always a better view on tv .

Colts and Broncos fan here. Obviously like the Broncos for Manning. I want him to get one more before he's done. These playoffs are wide open this year though, you could argue points for every team. Gonna be fun!!

I'm in the exact same boat regarding the Colts, Broncos and Peyton Manning. Must be pretty common for us Hoosier NFL football fans.

The Chargers won, so we're all right for now... lol

^^^Three of the games were interesting. The Bengals do not EVER need to be televised again. Unlike my two brothers-in-law who've have season tickets since 1990, I have no emotional attachment to the local semi-pro team so I'm an unbiased observer. They absolutely embarrassed themselves and the city with that effort. They were the worst 11-5 team in NFL history and looked like they didn't bother to practice this week. Dalton's failures arent nearly as funny as other QB's because very few people were ever under the impression he was good. At least he gets another playoff participant ribbon to put on his fridge.

Now the playoffs get good...

All the teams that played this weekend seemed to be matched up fairly well. The wins came down to only a few points difference.
