Saturday Playoff thread: Football talk.. Dolphin talk.

What do the Saints, Vikings, Ravens, Colts all have in common?

Defensively speaking?

 

Warner is a great player, but he's not going to be able to do anything if the offensive line doesn't pull their head out and start getting him better protection. Saints are wreaking havoc with 4 down linemen.

 

Nothing?

 

4-3 teams, the ravens run a "4-3 hybrid"...

 

That play represents why I want Ginn on punt returns.

 

This game is over. Why is it Reggie Bush is only this dangerous in the playoffs?

If I'm the Cards I bench Warner to prevent him from being injured further. This game is out of reach.

 

REggie Bush is having the game people thought he would have all the time when the Saints drafted him #2 overall.

 

Just about every 3-4 team has a hybrid 4-3 package. That doesn't make them 4-3 teams. Take a peek at this article on NFL.com and you will find several of the teams mentioned do in fact play a 3-4. It also goes on to explain that more and more teams are going to a 3-4.

 

Exactly, he is a weapon use him like one.

 

i just puked in my mouth a little. WHY does Fox keep panning to that gross girlfriend of Bush? She is famous for bangin a B-list rapper, and havin it plastered all over the internet. seriously. its not like meryl streep is in attendance. wtf.

 

Well 4 out of 5 playoff games so far have been blowouts...I'm sure the NFL has to love that.

Luckily the Ravens-Colts game has all the ingredients to be great...but man what a snooze fest so far.

 

Me to. Rooting for Indy though. Not so much because I like Indy as much as I dislike Cam-moron. If not for him I would like to see reed and ray win it.

 

Interesting story about the Foxbot.

Way back when Fox in Australia covered rugby(or cricket) and added a foxbot to the replays of the scoring the Foxbot was such a hit they brought it to the US when they began covering the NHL, that and a colorized neon puck, and it flopped.

They ditched the digitally colorized puck deal, but they did keep the Foxbot..

 

x2

but as long as Joe Gibbs is kept far far away its at least bearable.


Edit: I hate the Foxbot.

 

I've seen it for so long now it is a part of the landscape of a Fox Football game.

This is such a stomping that I have muted the TV...don't care about Reggie Bush's trollop and there is really nothing else to see in this one.

 

May the Jets have a miserable game.

 

Well cards are out think any coaches from the desert camp will be getting new jobs?

 

amen

 

I am now 1-4 ATS in the playoffs.
Really need Ravens, Vikings and Jests to cover.

 

Is it just me, or does this seeding appear cherry picked for the Jets to skip into the Superbowl?
Call it lame destiny, but I see the two toughest teams battling each other tonight, and the two weakest dueling it out tomorrow.
San Diego has been resolute in choking its way out of the post season, and if the Colts outgun the Ravens tonight, I could very easily envision the Jets bringing the house down next week on Paytons glorious passing skills.

 

On top of that if the Ravens and Jests both win the Jests get to play the AFC championship game at home.....

 

we should all be rooting for the Ravens today. Thats the kind of team we will have next year.

 

Nah, the durty byrds are public enemy #4 in dolphins fan land.

Jest
Patsies
JAGS
Durty Byrds

 

Oh geezes they even have an insurance clause built into this?

I think I'd still prefer the obnoxious birds bringing it to NJ.

..If San Diego remains true to its standard.

 

Because Ray Lewis is good for one durrty play a game Deej.

 

If for some ungodly reason the Jets win they would either travel to Indy or play the ravens at home. So ya.... go INDY!

 

well what i meant is that is the type of team we are building. Crazy defense, strong running game, safe but effective passing game. we should be on their level next year with a good offseason. you should root for them to make the AFC Championship because that will mean we will be good enough to compete for the same next year.

As for most hated teams one playoff loss doesnt make them enemy number 4 in my book. Same with the Jags. I would make the rivalries

1) Jests
2) Pasties
3) Jills

all AFC East team come before outside teams

4) Raiders
5) Steelers
6) Cowboys

old rivalries still outshine the one and done rivalries you mentioned

6) Texans - bottom line we still havent beaten this frikkin team. the only modern team that has begun to build a true hatred
7) Jaguars - you got the florida shared address and the one blowout. personally the worst thing about the jags is they gave us jay fiedler.
8) Ravens - most recent loss was to them

 

bills are # 3 on my list

 

D Ellerbe went inside out and jacked up Addai on that 4th down, we do not have a single ILB who could make that play and Ellerbe was either a late round pick or a UDFA.

TD Colts

That is what drives me crazy about the personnel on defense, they really do need an overhaul on that unit.

Akin A would have swatted at air.
