Giants O is just straight mediocre. Dominate first half only to get 2 field goals, could have been a very different game if they had 2 TDs instead.

Domination is what the Steelers showed in their first three drives today. Unless I've missed something, the Giants only got twice into field goal range despite having the ball six times.

The domination is in comparison to the anemic Packers O until the hail mary.

4-0 for me!

It was a pretty obvious week though. NY@GB was the only tough game to pick. Turned out to be a blowout anyway.

Looking at the playoff spreadsheet as Rol updates. Gotta feel bad for TheGoldenBoy and sethnintendo. Both went 4-0 and lost.

Oh well, guess there's next year.

Also who do I send my picks to since I'm facing Rol this week?

Man, hard to remember a worse WC weekend in the NFL playoffs. Only game remotely interesting imho was Miami/Pitt, but Miami kept shooting themselves in the foot once they got in scoring range.

Divisional round on paper looks better, except the Pats basically get a second bye week.

So Oakland fired its OC after two seasons and the 6th best offense by yards this season. I'd call this a stupid decision, but after seeing the play calling in the Wild Card game...I'm honestly not that surprised by it.

I'd still call it a stupid decision. Getting rid of continuity because the team lost with a third string QB at the helm, that's just too reactionary.

wow that is pretty pathetic. But, I guess it depends on plays, structure he's directing vs what Carr is doing in-game to win. Maybe he was an obstical and Carr/others wanted him out.

From what I've read, it was a situation similar to Jim Harbaugh and the 49ers a few years back; except there were tensions between the OC and the HC instead of the HC and the GM. Soon as they found an excuse to get rid of him, they went with it.

Picks are in.

It seems like it was painful for the refs to call that penalty on Seattle.
