Well, this could easily be in the OGT: other games thread, but for some reason I just think the playoffs are a little too significant to not have its own thread.

I'm going with Seattle, Jacksonville, NY, and SD in the Wild Card round.

I really hope Washington don't beat Seattle, they are soooo friggin' boring.

Playoffs?! Don't talk to me about playoffs. Are you kidding me? Playoffs?

Holy crap!

I'm picking the Skins, Jags, Giants and Chargers.

I'd like to see a Superbowl that doesn't bore the shit out of me this year.

Packers-Pats is what I'm thinkin'.

Hell, I wouldn't mind Packers-Colts either.

I like typing like this.

You know, at least those games would be entertaining. I really wouldn't mind seeing the Packers win it all and Favre retiring on top. Unfortunately, if they win it all he'd probably think he still had a lot left in the tank and he'd want to come back and try to do it again (please, don't!)

The Redskins and Buccs put on the worst football game I ever saw in the '05 Wild Card Round, so I want them both to lose.

I'm going with the Redskins over Seahawks, and Buccaneers over Giants in the NFC...

Jaguars over Steelers and Chargers over Titans in the AFC WC Round

I almost want to take the Steelers though...

I'll be flipping like a mad man tomorrow night

Steelers/Jags and Pistons/Celtics on at the same time.

Ok, tomorrow I think the Seahawks are going to take it in OT over Washington 23-20.

I expect a damn good game between the Steelers and Jaguars. As much as I like Jacksonville's team, with the two headed running attack, and how well Garrard has played...I'm now going to go with Pittsburgh, even with all of their injuries, 14-7.

By the way, and not to brag or anything, the Jaguars have been my second favorite team (even BEFORE this season).

Still, I'm picking Pittsburgh in one of those "I can't explain why I picked them" picks.

This Redskins-Seahawks game was boring as shit until the 4th quarter.

Collins threw a TD to Randle El, the defense got a pick, Collins threw another TD to Santana Moss, and after a fuck up by Seattle on the ensuing kick off Washington have it in the redzone.

14-13 Washington.

I am now officially a Redskins fan for the playoffs, as the Ravens play in Maryland and so do they. :)

'Skins just missed a 30 yard FG....whaaaaaaat?!

Sean Taylor was definitely NOT carrying that one.

Seahawks just returned an INT for a TD, it's 28-14 now...probably over.

And now you are a Seahawks fan.

Yep. How'd you know?

NAJEH PUT THAT RIGHT IN HER CLOSET

7-0, good guys

"good guys"?!?

You're supposed to be objective with your analysis, Glenn.

Hawk Harrelson reference

The good guys tied it.

14-7, MY JAGS ON TOP.

HOW DO YOU LIKE THEM APPLES, GLENN?!

21-7 Jags.

This ain't your daddy's Jacksonville Jaguars squad.

This is MY choice to go to the AFC title game to lose to the Pats!

Rothlisberger with his 3rd pick.

Keep ya head up Glenn.

*open mouth, insert foot*

Steelers in it, plenty of time to go.

Wholly shit!! Steelers are IN it.

WOW, Steelers are about to take the lead.

Jags are about to have a massive collapse.

I wish the Steelers would have made the 2 so we'd have a better chance of going into OT.

C'mon Jags, don't choke it away!!

YES YES GARRARD!

JAGS!!

Sorry Glenn.

That was a helluva 4th down run by the QB late in the 4th.

When do we begin the Official GlennDanzig Suicide Watch????

Still, it was classy to see Rothleschildcheeseburger actually "wait" until Garrand was done with his interview to shake his hand. Most players would've just cut right into the interview.

You stay classy, GlennDanzig.

http://bestuff.com/images/images_of_stuff/210x600/ron-burgundy-3717.jpg

Yeah, that was disappointing, but not altogether unexpected with all the injuries.

Jax deserved to win, the Steelers just aren't good or deep enough this year.

Nice first year for Mike Tomlin, though.

Cowher doesn't lose this game, imo...cuz he is a bad ass.

I am very impressed by the Jaguars. They didn't play their best game and were able to squeak one out, in Pittsburgh no less (against a team who rallied back and had seemingly taken the momentum).

I was at a buddy's place watching the end of the game. We had a friend sitting on the couch in a Bettis jersey and the rest of us were rooting for the jags. We gave him a hard time the rest of the night. It was great.

Lions aren't playing. Must have a bye the first week of the playoffs.

You didn't hear? The Lions lost on their bye week.

The league gave them a bye decade

Thus far I am 2-1 with my predictions.

Tennessee is about to get bitch slapped by San Diego, so it's a given I will be 3-1.

I'm the only one watching this shitty Titans-Chargers game, right?

I just walked in and am watching it. Is there a night game?

Man, these TDs that they give these guys these days. Gayle Sayers would have never tried this reachy, touchy, feely stuff. Oh well, its an evolving game.

I just walked in and am watching it. Is there a night game?

Nope.

OSU LSU, Pistons, something, anything for Gods sake, put a good sporting event on for me tonight

OSU-LSU is tomorrow. And I'm not going to watch most of that.

I like defense, but not to the tune of a 17-14 game.

Looks like I'm going to go 3-1 for the Wild Card games (not that it really matters or anything, as I'm not betting with anybody or whatever).

Next week is shaping up to have some good games, assuming SD hold on to win. Seattle @ Green Bay, New York @ Dallas, Jacksonville @ NE, and San Diego @ Indy.

I'm actually looking FORWARD to watching more of the playoffs. First time I could say that in a couple years.

Bowling Green at Tulsa tonight.

I hate BA Tressell, now I hate Miles cuz he's a jackass, I'll tune in to see one of them get beat. That'll be my enjoyment.

Its kind of weird how that happens. Its like some years I have to watch every game, then I kind of watch a game or 2. Same thing in Baseball, Basketball.

I'd like to see a playoff in college, but usually EVERY YEAR the bowls top the NFL playoffs imo.

This one is over

Sure is.

Next week's games are going to be really good.

That pass made Garcia look like Jonny Unitas

The only QB Vince Young is better than, honestly, at this point is Vick.

Not saying much either.

My first impression is that...

Seattle will end Farves run and the SS players will be yelling..."You aint seen nothin yet" as they run off the field.

Tough game but Dallas is at home. Dallas.

NE was running out of gas at the end of the year, imo. This is not a gimme.

Indy beats the Bolts

The line on that NE game will be interesting

Jacksonville could probably pose a bigger threat to NE than everyone thought Pittsburgh would earlier this season.

I watched the Redskins-Seahawks game and I gotta say: Seattle is a sleeper. I think their pass rush is pretty sick.Kearney and little brother (Julian Peterson) were getting to big brother (Collins) all game.

But GB have Favre, man. Favre.

Ditka and Merrill Hodge are talking about San Diego vs. NE already, ignoring the fact the Chargers have to go to Indy next week.

I still like Indy's chances the best against NE.

Farve played all season, but he ain't seen nothin yet. Wait till next week.

Jacksonville could probably pose a bigger threat to NE than everyone thought Pittsburgh would earlier this season.
Especially if NE takes them for granted and just assumes an easy win.

Especially since they've shown they can get the big wins on the road and in the bad weather.

I don't think they have enough to beat the Gaytriots though.

Sure as hell won't be a blowout.

The only way the Jags win is if NE overlooks them and comes out unprepared. I don't think it will happen, but its the only way.

My Patriots will handle the Jags, easily.

Brady wears Wrangler and Stetson.

But do you know what he apparently doesn't wear?
Condoms

Cufflinks?

Probably doesn't wear those either. Refer to the white text.

lol Zek.

http://celebsnow.net/wp-content/uploads/2007/10/101307-brady-stetson.jpg

Thread killer.

Tom ain't that cute anyway, he's got a butt chin.

Stetson nullifies butt chins.

I was going to edit that picture to have him saying "When doing supermodels, wrap your tool, don't be a fool", but I'm too lazy and I have to go to class in a few minutes.

Some dude who works for Scouts (I think) went on ESPN and picked the Jaguars to beat the Patriots.

As much as I like Garrard and Jacksonville as a team...um, no.

Jeremy Green, and he's obviously just trying to make a name for himself.

Marcellus Wiley has come out and said the Jags will beat the Pats.

WHAT DOES MARCELLUS WILEY LOOK LIKE?

Does he look like a bitch?

Green Bay over Seattle (I'd be rooting against America if I don't pick Favre)

New England over Jacksonville

Colts over Chargers

Cowboys over Giants

I like this Gerrard QB. Does he have good fantasy numbers?

Rivers is making a believer out of me. San Diego is making a believer out of me too.

this should have been rivers coming out party and he decides to make himself the clown by jawing at the fans all game. if belichik didnt already have his game plan to be fuck with rivers mentally, it will be now. what a dumbass.

Crap.

There goes the best chance for NE to lose.

I think we have a good chance the rest of the way. SD will be no easy game. 'we'

Rivers is an idiot. I agree with you, b-diddy. His image is awful, and anyone that says image isn't important in professional sports is retarded. He looks like an immature pre-pubescent boy.

That said, I love San Diego and I would like to see them win. Heal up quick Gates, Tomlinson, and little-boy-Rivers.

I think we have a good chance the rest of the way. SD will be no easy game. 'we'

Love it.

Rivers is a douche. I really like SD's team overall though.

Go Packers!

Dallas has some work to do if they're going to pull this out.

UxKa is now glad he didn't get that Tony Romo jersey.

I'd like to post my thoughts on the game but not right now. Watching Tony Romo's presser has me a lil verclept right now.

If I heard him right he just said..."I might go to Vegas and go drink for a couple of days. You know, just get away from people"

Hellooooooooooooooo, dumbass...Vegas is NOT where you go to get away from people.

Being a Romosexual is a sin.

Please don't tell me that Rivers is a bigger douche than Romo. I don't know anything about Rivers but Romo is the biggest douche to come along in the NFL in a long long time.

Romo and that chick announcer from NY, tied in doucheness, imo.

Rivers is a way bigger asshole than Romo is.

I don't know jack about him, cept that he was hurt forever or something. And he was in that QB controversy for a while.

I'll take your word for it. That fuckin Rivers is a jerk.

But you know who isn't an asshole/douche?

http://www.squibkick.com/wp-content/uploads/2006/12/brett-favre-mouth-open.bmp

But you know who isn't an asshole/douche?



Brian Billick?

Favre, man.

Do you like Brain Billick?

Brian Balllick? Yeah.

Now that he's not coaching.

pwnt


Also, Brian is one of the most arrogant sons of bitches I've ever met...even though I never technically met him.

But you know who isn't an asshole/douche?
I'm going to go ahead and guess that lovely man that coaches the Patriots. He just seems so happy and kind-hearted.

DID THE PIC OF BRETT FAVRE NOT SHOW UP?

Not for me

Strahan: "I hope T.O. got his popcorn ready. Maybe he and Crayton can eat it in his movie theater when they watch next week." (or something like that)

PWNT!!!

UxKa is now glad he didn't get that Tony Romo jersey.

They're Romocycling to save the Dallas environment.

Igor Olshansky, fellow Ukie, has come out and talked trash about the Pats.

Great, now you guys are going to lose 52-14.

Hearing Plaschke on ATH say that Favre could be the one to "take down Tom Brady" and end the Patriots dynasty got me SO pumped!

Every time a national television talking head praises favre, his stubble intensifies. I think that's what fuels his rocketarm.

Hearing Plaschke on ATH say that Favre could be the one to "take down Tom Brady" and end the Patriots dynasty got me SO pumped!

Tom Brady is overrated anyway. He's not even the highest rated passer on his own team!*





















*minimum one pass attempt.

Fucking ESPN is blowing up these comments by Igor Olshansky.

Seriously, it's not a big deal.

Per the usual for ESPN though.

Norv Turner is really pumped up for this weekend.

http://electricityandlust.files.wordpress.com/2007/10/al-gore.jpg

For some reason, when I look at that picture of Norv, I feel as though I should be working to help the environment. I'm not sure why.

http://assets.espn.go.com/photo/2008/0116/nfl_cold_weather_412.jpg

Betting against Farve is like raping blind women. It's just wrong.

For some reason, when I look at that picture of Norv, I feel as though I should be working to help the environment. I'm not sure why.

You can help the environment by denouncing your not so tenuous connection to the shithole that is Cleveland.

I'll gladly denounce my non-existant connection, just for you Karl.

I hate it when ESPN has Breaking News and come to find out, the news isn't big at all.

However, they just reported that Rivers will not play vs. NE probably.

SD, you're REALLY fucked now.

Partially torn ACL, along with a strained MCL.

Sorry Glenn, but if SD can somehow win in Indy and then in NE with Billy Volek leading the way, it is WAY more impressive than your Steelers in '05.

I'll be pulling for my Chargers to pull it out over my Patriots.

And vice versa.

I think both teams will be extremely focused on winning.

Betting against Farve is like raping blind women. It's just wrong.

So I should change my target audience to deaf mutes without hands?

That's generally the most acceptable target, imho.

Four football fans--

a Colts fan, a Seahawks fan, a Chargers

fan, and a Patriots fan--

are climbing a mountain and arguing

about who loves his team more.

The Indianapolis fan insists he is the most loyal. 'This is

for the Colts!' he yells, and jumps off the side of the mountain.

Not to be outdone, the Seattle fan shouts, 'This is for the

Seahawks!' and throws himself off the mountain.

The San Diego fan is next to profess his love for his team.

He yells, 'This is for everyone!' and pushes the Patriot fan off the
mountain.

Then Brett Favre decends from the heavens and throws him off, too.

My predictions:

SD: 17
NE: 41

NYG: 12
GB: 20

Brady vs. Favre would be utterly orgasmic.

Oh it will be.

The Favre part that is.

Here is the weather forcast for Green Bay today:

Currently: -13F
Feels like: -32F

Game:
Mostly Sunny.
High: 5F
Low: -6F

Partly cloudy. Dangerous wind chills may approach -30F. High near 5F. Winds W at 10 to 20 mph.



Fuck that. Have fun watching that game, Green Bay Fan. I bet you the Packers almost wish Dallas had won.

Fuck that. Have fun watching that game, Green Bay Fan.

I will!

GO PACKERS

I am so sick of Chris Berman. Every time the fucking guy talks...

Unfortunately I think GB will win today and the injuries will catch up with SD.

^ GB winning is unfortunate?

HOW??

Cuz Bret Favre is a communist.

No, YOU are for not liking Favruh/America.

Favruh is soooooo passe'.

Ring Ring...who is it? The 90's calling.

Ring ring...your Lions suck.

Favre is timeless.

I'm a Pats fan, 2nd team in the AFC is SD. I like the NY Giants too and sometimes pull for GB cuz they're in our division.

I'm not questioning your fanhood, man. I KNOW you're dedicated.

I just think any negative comments about Favre are out of line. Hell, even GLENN agrees with me. And he's an arrogant SOB.

Liking what I see out of the SD defense.

Brady throws a pick!

Brady throws a pick!

Thats weird. I mean for a guy from UofM to throw a pick.

CBS seems to be more shameless in their self promotion than other networks, but thats OT, and I DON'T DERAIL THREADS.

Thats weird. I mean for a guy from UofM to throw a pick.

He's not a true Michigan man.

NE's about to score here. Rivers is too hobbled to do anything, so the Pats are about to open it up me thinks.

Fuck these games are so hard for me to watch with all the commercials.

XBL>NFL

Tahoe, did you know you're #5 now?

NE's about to score here. Rivers is too hobbled to do anything, so the Pats are about to open it up me thinks.

Wrong.

Tahoe, did you know you're #5 now?

#5 what? Sorry, I'm friggin hung over as hell. My brain isn't awake yet.

#5 all time!

ALL TIME WHAT?

If SD was healthy, this could have been the end of NE.

You're like 34 behind Codename V.

You should get it now.

Ya ya ya ya ya... I gotcha now.

So you are saying I'm in WTF's 5. I am both humbled and honored.

omfg pats are about to punt for the third time

They're going to hang around and win it at the end.

I think we need a "Philip Rivers...Courageous" thread going.

Get a long drive going and a 2 pt lead at least going into half...

This is a mess. LT has played only one series. If SD can somehow win this game...

Damn bad time for a pick

God damnit Chambers.

Hold them to 3.

^quit prognosticating

Seriously, where in the fuck is LT?

This is getting ugly. Fuck.

C"mon San Diego Super Chargers!

14-9...blah. Should be at least 14-13.

I thought NE was going to make it 21-6 so going in 14-9 is kind of a good thing.

INT!!!

LOVING SD's D.

Get a fucking TD.

Their inability to score a goddamn TD is going to cost them. It's inevitable.

God, I hate fucking Maroney.

Cromartie!!

Imagine i just posted a pic of the players holding up 4 fingers, as in the 4th quarter. I'm too lazy to go find one. SD players that is.

Did LT play in the 3rd?

Brady has played like ass and the Pats are going to win because of that bitch Maroney and the fact SD couldn't score a fucking TD.

Did LT play in the 3rd?

Nope.

Game over. Fucking bullshit.

SD's D looks defeated.

Well it'll be up to Bret Favrahrahrah to fuck up NE's 'pursuit of perfection'

Time for Rivers to throw more balls into the ground.

Man I envy you, if you've honestly never had a beer right now.

Time for Rivers to throw more balls into the ground.

Holy shit, your powers are amazing

good news for SD: they only need a FG, then they'll be within 6. :rolleyes:

Man I envy you, if you've honestly never had a beer right now.

I don't drink unfortunately. A beer sounds good to avoid dealing with more Pats talk though.

I don't drink fortunately. A beer sounds good to avoid dealing with more Pats talk though.

I honestly think I'll pull for Favre in the Super Bowl. And I don't pull for the cheeseheads, ever.

The fuck are they punting for?

I honestly think I'll pull for Favre in the Super Bowl. And I don't pull for the cheeseheads, ever.

Knowing my luck, the fucking Giants will go in and beat GB.

I'm hoping for a good one. I haven't heard about the weather yet.

Weather.com has Green Bay at 0F, feels like -18f. I love it.

ME too. I'm watching and not playing. :)

Man, that's gotta suck for LT.

This is fucking gay.

If Favre loses today and cheats us out of the best superbowl matchup in years, I'm never eating cheese again.

God damn this is hard to watch. I mean one fucking play and back to ridiculous fucking commercials. At least play for 3 straight minutes or something. Its bad enough having to listen to their on-air commercials interupting the game, but then we take long breaks playing the same commercials over and over, every minute and half.


FUCK!

Anybody catch that Subway commercial with the ref talking about "blowing that last call"?

It's brilliant.

Oh, and I don't care about this game anymore, I'm just imagining Pam Oliver's nipples right about now.

I bet she could cut glass with those puppies.

Anybody catch that Subway commercial with the ref talking about "blowing that last call"?

It's brilliant.

As commcercials go, it was good, but FUCK commercials.

I have denied that the old Bret Favre has really returned, cuz the media keeps telling us he has and then they go 6-10 or something. So this time I wasn't going to believe it, but it looks like the old man still has it.

johnnycomelatelyiknow

That was a huge score for the Giants right there. GB gets a score that was hugely helped by a penalty and the NY Football Giants respond with 7 of their own.

WTF? Interception by the Giants and they fumble it back to GB for the first down.

Its like its inevitable that Favre is going to the Super Bowl this year.

I don't remember what the Giants gave up for the first pick to get Eli, but at the time they took some heat. I think they're justified in their trade. He seems to be getting better every year and gets better later in the season...where the Lions typically fold.

They drafted Rivers, then traded him for Eli.

Just straight up?

Yeah. Eli pulled a John Elway and didn't want to play in SD.

Btw, Favre time.

Oh fuck, America may be dealt a huge blow.

If there wouldn't have been a penalty? Yes.

OT to decide the NFC Champion? Hm, sure, I'll take it. With college OT rules of course!

Oh fuck! Eli just may do it!

Shit!

Eli will have more titles than Peyton when both are done.

Knowing my luck, the fucking Giants will go in and beat GB.

NO GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LOL

America has a chance

FAVRE IS STILL IN IT!!

HE VANERJAGTED IT!

GREEN BAY WANTS THE BALL AND THEY'RE GONNA SCORE!

I hope BF throws a pick for a TD

FAVRE BLEW IT!

Crap!

The Giants FG kicker can't hit shit right now, I wouldn't be worried if I were a Packer fan.

He's gonna make it.

Here comes NE's 4th championship.

Weren't the Giants and Lions both tied at 6-6 or something?

That's unfrigginbelievable. Eli Manning? Taking his team to a SB?

Props to the Giants. They turned it over, missed fgs and it seems gave GB every chance to win this thing, but they couldn't.

WTF, the game just ended and ESPN still has fucking Tom Brady on.

2 weeks of NE/Brady love on ESPN.

3 road wins by the Giants? Damn, they deserve it.

Finally we get to see Pam

Well, good thing I'm not a Packers fan. I wouldn't have been able to take this one.

2 weeks of NE/Brady love on ESPN.

Yeah, pretty much.

NY shouldn't even show up to Media Day.

Well, I guess an under control Manning could be a better matchup for Brady than a bad throw making Brett Favre.

Even though he seems like a dick, I kind've feel good for Coughlin.

Giants can stop the run but not sure about their pass D. ??? And that'll be more important.

Manning done unfroze the fronzen tundra

Not trying to mean or anything like that, but I bet if you asked Eli "Quick, whats 2 plus 2?"

He might pause for a lil while

My cousin plays for NY. Go Giants!

Crap, nvm...he plays for Pittsburgh now.

My cousin was in NY once. Go Giants!

Whats his name, T. Mailman?

Matt Lentz

Oh, you aren't kidding? Right on

No joke.

He played for the Wolverines too!

No fucking way.

(insert pic of Mark Dantonio)

No joke.


Matt Lentz (born November 19, 1982 in Ortonville, Michigan) is an American football guard and tackle for the Pittsburgh Steelers of the National Football League. He was originally signed by the New York Giants as an undrafted free agent in 2006. He played college football at Michigan.

Thats pretty cool.

YOU, my friend, are NOT a walmart Wolverine fan.

They drafted Rivers, then traded him for Eli.

The Chargers also got two picks that ended being Shawne Merriman and Nate Kaeding.

I have denied that the old Bret Favre has really returned, cuz the media keeps telling us he has and then they go 6-10 or something. So this time I wasn't going to believe it, but it looks like the old man still has it.

johnnycomelatelyiknow
Turning point in the game, RIGHT there.

The Chargers also got two picks that ended being Shawne Merriman and Nate Kaeding.
I'd say that deal worked out pretty well for them then.


And Karl, your connection to UM is NOT tenuous, at best.

IT's just tenuous.
