I like the home teams in the AFC next week and the road teams in the NFC.

Can't believe how poorly Drew Brees played tonight. Saints continue to break the hearts of their fans in the playoffs.

Both team almost had identical passing numbers the Vikings won because the almost had 40 more rushing yards.

Brees didn't play well. Had two turnovers at terrible moments.
I'd say the main problem for their offense was at their line, which I thought was supposed to be good. They were allowing a lot of pressure with few rushers, and creating no holes for the running game, hurting the passing game further.

Taysom Hill had a monster game cause they couldn't predict anything that he'd do. Anyone who even half-seriously believes they'd have been better playing him at QB most of the game, or even Bridgewater, would have to be dumb as a brick.

Vikings are just a really loaded and well coached team. Don't know if Cousins can consistently play that well when needed, but if he can they could threaten anyone.

Good, those 2 dbags deserve each other. 

Did you see Brady play this year? He’s much closer to one year left than three.

Wild Card Prediction Results

Picks

Only one match required a tiebreaker. BTM's confidence in double digit wins by the Saints and Patriots cost him; while hatmoza picked all the same winners, he was far more conservative about the margins of victory. BTM's HFA couldn't bail him out in the end.

As for everyone else, the winner was decided by record before the final game of the weekend even kicked off.

Similar to last year, since we don't have enough contestants for a full second round, the highest performing loser will advance as well. In this case, that's Zakaro, who went 2-2 with a PDT of 23. cycychris was the only other 2-2 player to lose, posting a PDT of 35.

This brings us to the Divisional Round. Note that, like the NFL playoffs, reseeding occurs every round so that the highest seed always plays the lowest seed, second highest vs. second lowest, etc.

ChrisHu and I will send our picks to Rol via PM. Everyone else, make your picks here or PM them to me.

I'd ask if you actually saw what he had to play with this year, but I'm starting to realise nothing you have to say is worth much.

Don't worry though. With the continuing cycle of familiar mediocrity the Broncos keep pumping out, 3 years will probably just blend into 1 for you.

Pretty sure we've dropped like 8 in a row or something at Lambo, so I'm not super pleased about the Saints losing to the Vikings, and making us play out there. 

Well as far as Pete Caroll is concerned, doing "just enough" is his fucking religion. That's why we're pretty much incapable of blowing anybody out, even if it's a trash team. For as long as it's a one score game, Pete is perfectly happy to have the offense keep banging it's head against the wall, stubbornly running for 1.1 yards per carry, waiting until 3rd and long to throw a pass, and ultimately, waiting for the other team to force him into taking the handcuffs off the offense. Of course, only until it's a one score game again, at which point it's ok to go back to doing fuck all.
