Wild card/ playoff games this week

[Phicinfan]

I will disagree with some here.

I am going Pats in a win, KC beating Pittsburgh(Big Ben will be beat to death in this game), Dallas beating the Pack(man I wanted to see them play the Giants again ), and I will go Atlanta over Seahawks

Falcons throttle the SeaBirds and the Pats dump a feisty Texan squad who really needs a QB.

Yes, we do.

It's weird. In talking to my friends (other Pats homers) we were all during the game (and after somewhat). They looked like a team that was rusty and believed that they just had to show up to roll Houston. And yet they still put up 34 points. And did a good job on Defense considering how long the Texans had the ball and how many times they got it deep in NE territory on TOs.

Seattle: OVERHYPED AND GONE
Dallass: OVERHYPED AND GONE

Now I can enjoy the rest of the playoffs

Dallas gave them a heck of a run though and it might well be the best game of the entire playoffs.

 

[JScott]

Could be a very good sign of things to come for DAL. Getting to this spot with a rookie QB and RB, and going toe to toe with a hot Rodgers lead Packer team.

KC gave the Steeler offense fits but the 6 FG's were enough as the Steelers sneak by the Chiefs.

E-Factor is perfect thus far.

No wonder he hangs out in Vegas.

 

[mudloggerone]

Using that logic it's easy to see why I'll never go there.

Just once a year. All I can handle any more. Would have been awesome to watch the games at the Cesar's Palace sports book. Cushy chairs. Great cocktail waitresses.

Pitt/KC was the toughest call so far. Ben just not good on the road or it would have been a blow out. 6 FGs? Are you kidding me.

What an amazing game in Dallas. Hated for it to end. So well played and exciting. Dallas is in a great position with a A QB like Prescott that they don't have to pay for 3 years. Will be interesting to see if they take advantage of it.

Patriots handle the Steelers

I like Atlanta over GB also.

NE looked vulnerable vs Hou so I'm reaching with Pitt for the win.

 

[mudloggerone]

Anybody but the Packers so I'm taking the Dirty Birds at home for the win.

Big Ben on the road vs the Pats? I think not. Patriots headed Bowling again.

Woke up to the story about AB posting a video of Tomlin's locker room post-game, in which he's ripping the Pats but telling his team to be quiet on social media this week so as not to provide bulletin board material

I can see some knucklehead 2nd teamer doing this but AB?

I really like Atlanta giving the 5 points this week. GB secondary is beat up. As great as Aaron has played, I don't see them keeping up with Atlanta. I wouldn't be surprised if the Falcons punter never sees the field on Sunday.

Gotta agree here, other key is GB may be without Jordy and Adams, if both are gone the passing game will be much more easy to cover.

Kind of thing I just shake my head in wonder about. What could possibley make him think that this was OK to do? Christ.

One of the first things I taught my kids when they were very young. Think twice before you act.

HotLanta burns the cheese and the Falcons advance to the Super Bowl. Thank goodness.

 

[Phicinfan]

Falcons vs. Patriots, I am hoping beyond hope we get a huge offensive game. Would love to see a 45 to 44 type game.

Would also love to see Atlanta win it.

 

[efactor]

Atlanta offense is rolling. Will be interesting to see what NE can dial up defensively.

Atlanta 34-31
