NFL Wild Card Weekend

[Boris13c]

Buffalo Bills @ Houston Texans : I think this is the most balanced matchup of the weekend with both teams having equal opportunity to win.

Tennessee Titans @ New England Patriots : Patriots showing large chinks in their armor and I think Tennessee could pull this off

Minnesota Vikings @ New Orleans Saints : I think this will be the blowout game of the weekend. Saints in a romp.

Seattle Seahawks @ Philadelphia Eagles : Carson Wentz has had to work magic with a group of second tier skill players, and may go into this game with even newer faces in the huddle. He should be commended for the season he has had with so little help, but this would be a huge upset if the Eagles win this.


So who ya got?

[MoFugger]

Cheering for the Bills. Watson is way overrated. But my money would be on the Texans. Refs will make sure of that.

I would love to see the Titans rupture Brady's spleen. I would bet on them to upset.

Saints should be up 50 mid 4th quarter.

Eagles and Seahawks are going to need a lot of medical staff on hand. This one is a pick 'em.

[The Marshall Plan]

I picked Bills, Patriots, Saints and Seahawks.

Bills - I get a vibe from them that this is their year to do something more. The whole JJ Watt circus irritates the shit out of me too.

Patriots - I pick the GOAT until he loses. Brady is the best ever to me.

Saints - I don't see how this game is close. The Saints should also be really hungry because of the way their last playoff run ended.

Seahawks - Going with Russell Wilson and Pete Carroll. I think their experience and ability makes the difference.

deshaun deserves better

Ahhhh. Brady can bathe in a tub of Tony Romos tears

Well I'm 0-2 so far but wow were those games fun.

Today's games definitely have a lot to live up to.
As a football fan it was great to see two evenly-matched games. When you don't have a horse in the race you don't want to sit and watch a blowout.

unless it's Goon Bay

I would sit and watch every wonderful second of the Packers getting blown out ... especially if it is in Goon Bay

they got their act together in the second half, largely because of Deshaun Watson ... so that was nice

Ahhhh. Brady can bathe in a tub of Tony Romos tears

when Tennehill threw that idiot interception into no mans land, I thought "well shit ... here we go with another Brady comeback" ... but the Titans defense stepped up

the Brady pick 6 clincher may very well have been his last NFL pass

LOL well don't hold your breath. I don't think the league would ever allow that. All of a sudden, linemen with little history of holding or hands to the face calls would get lit up like a Christmas tree with the flags advancing GB down the field and turning 3rd downs into 1st downs. Legitimate hits would be called roughing the passer or interference turning the tide of the game.

Unfortunately it doesn't seem like playing GB puts someone on a level playing field because apparently it is desired for a little town of 100K people to have this team win all the time.

My hatred of the Packers means I do have a horse in that race.

[Bears Whiskey Nut]

Fucking Viqueens are probably going to beat the Saints. What the actual hell is up with that??

If they win, it goes along with the saying, "Defense wins.............."

Helps to have a RUN GAME also.

[Bears Whiskey Nut]

Fucking Saints.

[Otis Day]

Last chance. What effed up way are the Saints going to lose? If they lose. I have a feeling Brees can get them in FG range.

Tayson HIll has been a fucking beast today.

[Otis Day]

What a throw and catch, Cousins to Thielen, OMG!!!

[Otis Day]

There has been some great games this weekend.

[Bears Whiskey Nut]

Fucking Vikings. I hate the NFC North.

[The Marshall Plan]

What an amazing weekend of football. I almost don't care how the Seahawks v Eagles game goes. Three amazing games.

This all but guarantees the Packers in the NFC Championship Game but I think the refs were gonna do that anyway.

[MoFugger]

Two overtime games and all three games so far have come down to the last play.
Damn good wildcard weekend and I wouldn't be too confident if I were any of the bye week teams.

[Otis Day]

Rooting for the Seahawks for some reason. I think they have a better chance of beating the Pack . Right now just cheering on teams that can knock the Pack out. I will be rooting for the 9ers as well next week.

[The Marshall Plan]

Agreed with the Seahawks. They got 11 wins despite playing in a really tough division.

[Otis Day]

They are pretty damn banged up as well. On their 4th and 5th RBs. Heard this a.m. that their OL is banged up as well, couple guys missing todays game.

[MoFugger]

Watch Josh McCown throw for 118 yards and be the only 40+ quarterback to win this weekend.

[Otis Day]

He is not looking too bad at the moment.

[MoFugger]

I honestly cannot remember the last time all four games of wild card weekend were this much fun to watch.
It pains me to say it, but go Seahawks! It does not hurt so much because I have a thing for Marshawn Lynch. and as much as I've hated the Seahawks over the years, it's hard to cheer against for Russell Wilson.
At the end of the day, I'm still cheering for a San Francisco verse Baltimore super Bowl.

[wab]

Yeah, SF vs Baltimore is my hope. Lamar Jackson is so fun to watch.

[MoFugger]

No shit. Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens are going to change the way half the league plays defense next year.
It kind of reminds me of when Michael Vick came into the league.
I am not comparing him to Michael Vick so much as I am comparing that particular season to this particular season.
