2008 NFL Playoff Thread

IMO, now that Atlanta is history, Philly is the only team standing between a Panthers-Giants NFC Championship Game.

Last year, everyone felt San Diego was all standing between an epic Patriots/Colts AFC Championship Game. How did that end up?

Be careful- sometimes, what you say can haunt you.

Keep standing up for the underdog, sooner or later you'll be right !

We play a drinking game when Detroit has the ball. Complete a pass, take a shot. I've been sober all season.

ROFLMAO

The Cardinals and Chargers should be glad that the NFL has playoffs and not the BCS. Otherwise they would be marooned to the Liberty Bowl and the Super Bowl would be Cowboys-Steelers because the media loves them and they have giant fan bases.

HOW LUCKY CAN THOSE DAMN COLTS GET?!

Colts have only 46 rushing yards.

If they go to Pittsburgh or Nashville, that is NOT going to cut it.

Manning can't cover up all the weaknesses, no matter how good he is.

 

[anders5189]

Of course they already won in Pittsburgh and are more than capable of beating the Titans.

 

[Mets82]

Why didn't Rivers just hand the Colts the ball? Oh, wait, he did.

 

[Mets82]

I think the Colts are as a hot as a firecracker right now. I think they could beat Pitts. or Tenn. especially if Big Ben isn't playing.

i don't understand why pass on 3rd and 2? run it and take a little more time off the clock even if you didn't get the 1st down. pin them deeper down the field. they had no t/o left.

what a game . . . two great games today!

 

[cjwct]

there goes 50 year anniversary of colts/giants and more importantly, a manning bowl . . . oh well . . . i am liking this more now as a Giants fan!

 

[Rey]

by by colts. see ya! I bet ya sabres is throwing a party as we speak

 

[SabresRule]

Well, so much for that "hottest team in the NFL" crap about Indy.

Two things:

1. Mets82's playoff scenarios are shot to hell

2. Colts lost because they couldn't run a lick

 

[Jimbo]

Ticky tack calls give the Chargers opportunity they need to win game.
Refs do thier part again.
Last drive in OT gives SD 2 first downs.

Ticky tack . . . i don't know about that!

No offense, Jimbo, but maybe if Indy had done a few things different- convert a 4th and 1, make some 3rd down stops, or RUN THE BALL- this wouldn't have happened.

Colts were too one-dimensional, and the lack of a running game, as I predicted, KILLED THEIR CHANCES.

Sorry, Jimbo- I shed no tears for the Colts. They are just not as good as previous years.

Ticky tack . . . i don't know about that!

Well the pass interferance/ holding could have been not called, the face mask was no big deal the play was already done and the facemask was not used to make the tackle.
