NFL Playoffs

Thank God the Steelers lost.

I'm a 49er fan, the 49ers-Saints game is going to look a lot different then the game last night in the dome. Close, close game.

I think the Super Bowl is a rematch of the Harbowl.

The 49ers will lose to the Saints badly. Why? Because your QB is Alex Smith.

[amat]

The 49ers are last (or second to last) in passing attempts and still only lost 3 games. The 49ers need Alex Smith like the Buccaneers needed Brad Johnson or the Baltimore Ravens needed Trent Dilfer. Alex is actually having a good year, but he just doesn't have to do much. He had the second lowest interception percentage in NFL history, the 49ers haven't turned the ball over since Thanksgiving. They allow 13 points a game. They run the ball on you, they control the clock, they have the best special teams in the NFL which means they have the best average starting field position and the best opponent starting field position in the league.

Defense, run the ball, control the clock. The 49ers formula for winning is completely different then the Patriots, Packers, Saints and Lions. It's actually more similar to Denver's philosophy. Denver plays awesome defense and runs the ball primarily on offense. The 49ers are a better team then Denver obviously, but there is more then 1 way to win in the NFL.

The Saints are a completely different team on the road too. 9-0 at home, 5-3 on the road. In the 5 games they have played outside of a dome this year, they average 25 points a game. That's not exactly prolific. Especially when you consider that they faced the Packers (awful defense), Buccaneers (awful defense), Titans (actually a good defense), Jaguars (decent defense) and Panthers (not so good) and they could only muster up a 25 point average.

But that's OK, it's a really close game but it's not just about the quarterbacks.

Thank God the Steelers lost.

Damn! Tebow-mania is REALLY gonna take off, now. Nice kid and all, but I'm rooting for the Patriots next week.

Anyway... I don't dislike the Browns just 'cause I'm a Steeler fan. But i DO dislike teams like: the Cowboys, Ravens, and..... can't think of any others right now.

[superheavyrhun]

Minnesota Vikes fan since I got to go and watch them play a few years ago. We didn't quite make it to the #1 pick next year, but still a dreadful year.

Due to my love of steaks, I've decided to adopt the Broncos and Tebow-n as my team for the playoffs. Meaning I can stop watching next week!

That was an insane finish good game and glad the 9ers took it. Now for pats and denver, hope denver makes it intresting at least

While as a Seahawks fan I am programmed to dislike the 49'ers, that was a great game and part of me was happy to see them win.

[armin]

Huh what hapened denver fumble I step out to smoke n denver is in ne redzone

[CFH]

[kingfrnk]

That 9ers game was fukkin crazy. I think they go all the way and probably win it. Unless raven thrash that ass again.

Who are you

[amat]

I say we occasionally. Here's my theory. Take baseball. I watch at least 150 giants games a year and probably more then that. Let's say I watch 3 hours of each game. That's 450 hours of giants baseball I watch a year. Add probably 5 hours a week I spend reading and watching tv about my team. Then say I talk for another 5 hours a week about the giants outside of me watching the game. That's 730 hours a year I dedicate to just my favorite team. This doesn't include the offseason and all these estimates are conservative. That's 30 days every year I dedicate to just the giants. If I dedicated that amount of time to a minimum wage job every year, I would have an extra 6 grand a year.

So I don't mind saying 'we', without me and people like me there would be no professional sports.

The Pats - Bronco's game looks like it could be over early.

Denver is going to need a miracle (I just couldn't help myself).

That's because you are not from this area. You have to live in Northeastern Ohio and Western Pennsylvania in order to truly understand the rivalry.
