NFL Playoffs are here!

I knew the Seahawks would win, even when they were down16. Pats have to win. If not I will be in a deep depression, I will need Miles to comfort me.

Yea Hawks defense will keep giving them a chance to win. They don't give up much points especially in the second half. The Offense kept the fans on the edge of their seats. Russel threw 4 INT and may have been concussed from the helmet to helmet hit from the first quarter. RW is a winner though and winners find ways to win. 15 points in 44 seconds. Down 19-7 in under 4 minutes. Packers thought they had this game but Hawk's wheels just keep turning, like everything was always under control. Lynch with 25 carries had over 150 yards and that is from a team down 16-0 all the way to mid 3rd quarter.

Not sure which NFC Championship Win was better this year or last years. Nah def this one is better

So ya had a bad day!

I saw several ways to win.
The pack last offensive drive..was horendous play calling. They went conservative..soft and tried to run the ball with the defense prepared to stuff the line...STOOPID!

They didnt call the plays like they had a real defence to run against...its like they were hoping for the best.

No way should they have loss other than Seattle never quitting- kudos to them...but some bad play calling if you ask me, that the Packers could've hung on if Holmgren was there..

Congrats to Seattle they played 60 minutes of ball-what champions do...

To borrow an often-used phrase by commentators: Brandon Bostick's got to be the sickest man in America!


Brandon Bostick: “The whole world is on my back about this thing” | ProFootballTalk


I feel bad for the guy.... it was a monumental mistake.
But the article was too kind in their description.
He didn't "jump up and tipped it", as the article said.
The damn ball clean bounced off his facemask after going right through his outstretched hands, and into the waiting arms of a Seahawks player.

Nasty stuff.
He'll be hearing about that one for awhile.

Poor guy, people are just looking for somebody to blame. Even if Bostick tried to block Matthew doesn't mean Nelson would of caught the ball. Bostick and Matthew was closer to the ball landing than Nelson, it could of bounce away from Nelson or Nelson running into Bostick.

I think the blame should go on the Packers OFfense they needed to get those 1st downs but couldn't in the second half and kept giving the Hawks Offense another shot.

What does everybody think about "Deflategate"?

To me it's just another excuse to dump on Brady and the Patriots. What's a Super Bowl without its obligatory controversial story line? It makes me want the Pats to win even more. F*ck it. I'm assuming they all played with the same ball, so what's the problem? Besides... if it's cold and rainy, I'd rather have a football the player can grip than one with the characteristics of a wet bar of soap. Big, f*cking deal. In any case, I hope public opinion builds against New England. All the more motivation for the Pats to win.

Each team provide their own football and they practice with them before the game. The footballs the Colts brought were not deflated and were in the allowed psig range.

I like Tom Brady and the Patriots, they were always the second team in Madden. But it is hard to imagine, for a veteran like Tom Brady to not notice a deflated ball. They showed former players on espn easily picking out the deflated ball out of 3 footballs.

The benefit of deflated balls are you can grip the ball better as a runner and as a qb/passer. You can catch it better and throw it further by being able to easily grip and better grip in one hand.

It's interesting how this is going to unfold.

If what you say is true then the NFL might have to change the rules. It's easy enough to deflate regulation balls. I'm surprised there aren't more strict controls already in place to prevent this sort of tampering. Nevertheless, it won't be an issue in Arizona, where temperature is a non-factor.

Texture of the football is much more important than than a small amount of psi let's face it, the game was a blow out. The patriots would have won if they were using a pillow. They had a good ground game. The refs touched the ball after every play. I see it as a non issue

After all of the fuck up by the OFfense and special team by the Seahawks, the Packers was only able to put together 1 touchdown and they were given great field position by the Hawks all day. The Hawks defense only allowed 16 in the first and 6 in the second half. The Hawks don't lose if you can't put up 27+ points on that defense. The Packers had many opportunities to but the Hawks defense would not allow it.

Hawks actually ended up out running and put up more passing yards. I am a Hawks fan but the better team did win because if the Hawks didn't have those balls bounce to the Packers, the Packers would had never had the lead.
