Wild Card Weekend Thread

[PhillyPhreak54]

So who do you guys got this weekend?

Colts vs Chiefs
Bengals vs Chargers
Packers vs 49ers

Andy usually has his teams ready for the first round. I can see them taking out Indy. If the Chiefs lose it will likely be because they had Alex Smith throw it 45 times. Reading Chiefs fans reactions should be fun if that happens.

I like Philip Rivers so I hope SD knocks off Cincy.

Can SF play in that icy cold? That is the key because I think Rodgers will move the ball against the 49ers. In normal temps I would be taking SF here but I wonder how Kaepernick can run the offense while his nuts are hiding out in his chest.

[QB Eagles]

Colts and 49ers easy. When the Colts are motivated they are as good a team as there is in the league, and at home in the playoffs I like them against a Chiefs team I don't totally buy into. In the other game, you have Rodgers, the weather, and the luck of Lambeau against a far superior team and coach. Not sure the weather actually works in Green Bay's favor here, as the freakier it gets, the more it plays into the hands of the better gameday coach. McCarthy is essentially mid-career Andy Reid if Andy had a Hall of Fame QB instead of an Eagles Ring of Honor QB.

I keep changing my mind about the other game as I think both teams are a bit underrated. Hard to call the Chargers underrated after that turd they left on the field against the Chiefs last week, but if you look at their schedule, they've scalped some pretty good teams and the only game they ever let get away from them was the fluky super-late night game against the Raiders. On the other side, you have a talented, under-the-radar Bengals offense that has similarly racked up some impressive wins: NE (albeit before Belichick turned things around), Packers w/ Rodgers, a demolition of Indy, and at the Chargers just a few weeks ago. But we're talking about the Bengals in the playoffs here, with Marvin Lewis and those uniforms and a scary ginger QB. Guess I'll go with the Chargers.

Agreed on McCarthy...isn't he a yinzer? He makes some head scratching in game decisions.

I just don't trust Kaepernick in that weather. We know SF's D is legit but I think he makes enough plays against them compared to Kaepernick against the Cheez-Its.

SD has laid some eggs for sure...and Marvelous Marv Lewis hasn't won a playoff game (Bengals last post season W? 1990).

Colts can be world beaters (SF, SEA, etc) but then get streaky and not be able to move the ball and get lit against the deep ball.

colts
eagles
chargers
49ers

the chargers thing seems so obvious. they have no business being in the playoffs...looked like shtein in week 17...bengals havent lost at home...of course theyll win outright

[ice grillin you]

chiefs - a little to a little.....something like 14-13
eagles - tampa bay part II written all over it
chargers - dalton is going to suffocate on his own puke
green bay - vaginal left coasters wont score more than 9 pts

[PhillyPhreak54]

So you got the Eagles but think its 2002 Part Two?

[SD]

Chiefs, Bengals, Niners is who I have. Not sure about the Birds.

[QB Eagles]

If Jimmy Graham receives for less than 150 yards the Eagles will win. So I'm calling it a win for the Saints.

[SD]

I hope they stick Cary Williams on Graham. When Williams is aggressive he holds his own against anyone. He's a dirty shtein talker who can neutralize a guy like Graham with minor holds and incidental contact.

[Diomedes]

Colts better team than a lot of people give them credit for, Chiefs something like 2-5 last seven games (yes, counting the game they sat starters)...but no matter what I say, this is a hater pick.  I want Andy to lose and Chiefs fans to stfu about how great he is.
Bengals end fairy tale Rivers year with interceptions
49ers aren't going to lose in the wild card round

[PhillyPhreak54]

Jamaal Charles knocked outta the game early and being evaluated for a concussion

Somewhat of a shootout...I expected KC to get after Indy in the passing game but Luck reciprocated and marched Indy right down to score too.

Andy did not run once on the first series with goal to go

This time he runs the rollout to the short side (HATE!) and then Knile Davis up the gut twice...stuffed...which means no more runs the rest of the day

and then Knile Davis up the gut twice...stuffed...which means no more runs the rest of the day

This is so true.

Alex Smith, using his third eye, steps up in time to make a nice throw to a wide open Avery.

[PhillyPhreak54]

Colts are doneski....Trent Richardson fumbled...KC got it

peace out Indy

[PhillyPhreak54]

BTW...Richardson was running a sweep! Why are they running that sloth outside? He can barely get yards straight ahead!

Pep Hamilton needs to be fired.

And Ryan Grigson got worked by Joe B on that trade
