NFL Picks: AFC/NFC Championship Games

[Army of GOD]

Wow, just watched the Saints/Titans highlights. Locker made such a rookie mistake on that last play by not throwing it, but it seems like he played well. Good for him and Yates.

[oVo]

Sounds like Chicago blew it a towards the end of regulation,
going out of bounds and leaving time on the clock. Next week
the Pats visit the Mile High Tebow Zone.

The Skins gave the Pats all they could handle... including a Santana Moss
give away at the finish to make Rex's stats look bad on the day.

A rookie QB's first NFL start ends well for the Texans with a last second TD,
but the same scenario yields a different result for the Titans.
Yates: 300 yards, 2 TDs and an INT

A missed face mask penalty saves a Lions' take away and win.

Packers are 13-0 with Chiefs, Bears, and Lions left. 16-0? Or do they rest their starters so they don't get hurt.

Example: Colts are 14-0, rest their starters, lose last 2 games. Have a 1st round bye, and lost in the divisional.
Example: Patriots are 14-0, play to win the entire thing, lose in the superbowl.

What to do, what to do...

I would definitely keep going if I were the Packers. Team is young so they don't really need the rest and I bet they really want to run the table.

I don't think David Tyree caught a ball with his helmet because the Patriots didn't rest their starters. He did that because... how in the hell did that happen?

Every time I see Eli's helmet close up, I can't help but laugh. He looks like a 5 year old playing tackle football for the first time.

[Army of GOD]

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Cowboys need a field goal to tie it with 6 seconds left. Giants call a time-out right before the kick.

Oh lawdy, this can get funny.

[Army of GOD]

blocked


AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[pancakemix]

You lose a bet, AOG?

[Army of GOD]

You lose a bet, AOG?

no?

I just find it incredibly coincidental that the Cowboys lost again due to a late field goal after being iced.

The Giants are lucky Hicks didn't make that incredible catch in the endzone at the end or else Romo would've had a lot more time to operate.

I bet oVo is hitting his head off a wall right now.

[pimpdave]

What a game.

[pancakemix]

I meant the Brady.

And it's not really icing if it gets blocked.

Oh. No. I'm trying to curse the Pats for next week.

And YES IT IS. THEY ICED THE LINEMEN

Giants are also lucky Romo overthrew Austin on that third down play.

Seriously, I thought the Ryan's knew how to coach a defense. 12 point lead with 5 minutes left?

To be fair, I think the lockout effected defenses the hardest, which helps explain why there have been so many records set and broken in offense league wide this year.

Another way to look at it is that this was a division game (and a big rivalry) and the Giants never quit. Also, Romo has historically sucked not just in December but also in 4th quarters. He's the opposite of Tim Tebow or Joe Montana.

The most memorable photo of the last 10 years in football:





I feel bad for him. He tries hard and is pretty skilled...he just seems to choke when it matters.

[pancakemix]

Keep in mind also, the Giants drove to take the lead last week too.

Then the Pack was like "Naw, just kiddin'. We're gonna pound you."

The Packers' drive was unbelievable. During the last drive, I looked at my computer for a few seconds and then realized they gained 40 yards.

I know the Packers' defense is great at creating turnovers, but they do give up a lot of yards (and points, in some games). Imagine if they had a Ravens-type defense. That would be an automatic loss.

Romo has historically sucked in 4th quarters.

Actually Romo has the highest 4th Quarter rating of all active QBs in the NFL.
That's Rodgers, Brees, Manning, Rivers et all.
Of course if he hits Austin on that 3rd down it wouldn't have come down to a kick
to extend the game. So it goes... a great day of football. Argh!!!! x2

Cowboys and Giants meet to finish the season in January.

18/24 only looks good if you don't go 3/16 beforehand.

And he'd probably just run it anyway.

The only thing that really matters at this point is the W
as the Broncos still lead the AFC West.

There were about 6 drops during the 3/16 stretch, so it's not so much Tebow's fault. He did miss a few throws though.

[mviola]

I almost feel bad for Romo. You would think Ryan and Garrett would have learned how to run the clock out by now...
