The Road to SuperBowl XLIV: The Official 2010 NFL Playoffs Thread

[Jimbo]

Vikes took 6-7 minutes off the clock and scored, then the Saints took about 3-4 to do the same.
If this continues, can the Vikes keep up ?

So...all this crap about resting their players might comeback to haunt them was all hot win.
Great year for JETS... a very young team and more likely to be the favorites to win the AFC east.

yep. this is the first time in awhile where the top seeds are playing as expected except for the bolts who obviously faced a better team in the jets.

So yeah, I've dozed off twice, I blame Joe Buck. Hate these announcers, Joe Buck makes football seem so boring.

Jimbo,

NEVER said I wanted the JETS fans here. I said that it would funny that the JETS TEAM that lost twice to the Dolphins would be play in the home of the hated J-E-T-S ....JETS, JETS, JETS.

 

[salsadancer7]

Ooooppss...sorry home of the hated Dolphins. Typing from a blackberry.

The decade has now concluded for the AFC, and the Patriots (4), Steelers (2) and Colts (2) have won 8 of the 10 conference titles.

The other two AFC champions of the 00's were the Ravens (2000) and Raiders (2002).

Favre getting so beat up, win or lose this has to be his last season.

 

[BillD1984]

Could we be going to OT in the NFCCG, ala Atlanta-Minnesota in '98?

 

[Jimbo]

Saint lost this game with the miss of a tackle on Barrian on a 3rd and 8, he was stopped short and the guy missed the tackle and now the Vikes move into FG position to win it.
They had the ball coming back with a stop at the Vikes 38 yard line.

 

[Jimbo]

Then :
When the Vikes needed about 5-10 yards for said FG, Favre threw a pick.

 

[BillD1984]

Oh my Gawd!!!!

I thought that was gonna be a pick six!!!

 

[Jimbo]

Could we be going to OT in the NFCCG, ala Atlanta-Minnesota in '98?

And due to the previous situation, we WILL go to OT !

 

[Jimbo]

Oh my Gawd!!!!

I thought that was gonna be a pick six!!!

I was hoping he'd get another 20 yards or so good enough for a FG to win the OTHER way !

 

[Jimbo]

What the h*ll happen to the chains ?
They marked that ball a foot or two shorter than it should have been.

 

[BillD1984]

This is a HUGE play coming up!

 

[BillD1984]

IMO, the Vikings just got robbed on that spot!

 

[Jimbo]

This is a HUGE play coming up!

The 4th down call ?
or the review to see if he got it.

I think he had it, but they showed he lost control of the ball (helmet) hung on to it and I would bet they are going to say because of it he didn't get it.

 

[Jimbo]

I don't agree with your call on the spot, but the Saints got a break on the PI call, it was no way catchable.

 

[Jimbo]

Now the SAINT's are in FG range .....

edit: If they decide this was a catch .....

I'm really getting tired of the NFL and thier stupid catch rules.

If it doesn't touch the ground and you have it in your possession, it should be a catch.

Movement, WTF , so you can't move the ball once you catch it ?

The NFL has to go back to the way they use to call it.

Even if he bobbles it as long as he doesn't DROP it, it should be GOOD.

 

[BillD1984]

This kicker scares me if I'm the saints
