NFL Divisional Playoff Thread

[cubweiser03]

The Cowboys were a house of fire early in the year. As time went on, it went up in smoke.

The Colts have excuses for their loss today. The Cowboys on the otherhand dont have any.

[OleMissCub]

Giants will beat Green Bay.

 

 

What he said

 

I don't think so. One of the guys on ATH said that Eli is like 80%+ winning in games where the temp is over 70 or something. He's crap in cold weather.

[erik316wttn]

The NFC goes through Lambeau \:D/

 

HELLZ YEAH, BIATCHES!!!!!

 

God damn does it feel good to see Tony [expletive] crash and burn for the second year in a row.

 

HOW BOUT DEM COWBOYS!!

[Coach C]

so, green bay vs. new england in the super bowl?

 

lame.

 

I disagree. Green Bay's defense has a good chance of knocking off New England.

That's going to be fun to watch.

 

I enjoyed watching GB not want to take the field against the Bears, we'll see if Farve wants to be out there.

 

This will be a running game.

 

Go Giants.

Green Bay's defense would get ripped to shreds by New England.

i want to see a screen shot of jerry jones' face after romo threw that pick... priceless :lol:

I hate it when that SOB is the sidelines, especially right next to the HC.

Now for a serious post....

 

Yeah, I don't know exactly what it was that brought the Cowboys back down to earth, but they didn't look impressive at all the last few weeks, starting with the Detroit game in which they scored in the final minute. After that, they looked very beatable.

 

I'm not a football "expert", I can't dissect a play or a team like I can in baseball, but maybe one of the more football-savvy NSBB'ers can explain why.

Yeah.

Defense has nothing to do with beating NE, you gotta put up 40.

The Packers have played in cold weather before. Brett is awesome in cold weather in Lambeau.

Dude, I hate the packers, but this is a false comment. Packers are stacked in the secondary. And their front seven is incredibly fast. With that said, they wont beat the Patriots. If they do, I will never go home.

the packers secondary will get flagged for more pass interference penalties in super bowl history if that's the matchup.

I was going to post the same thing. The Packers secondary is very good, but they won't get away with all that contact against Brady's team.

Yeah, you do know we scored 42 yesterday right? Not counting the Bears game, we put up over 30 or close to 30 points in every game in the 2nd half of the season. Offense isn't a problem for us.

Amen, brotha!

 

My hatred of Green Bay and everything that is the packers knows no bounds. Actually, I don't mind the packers much. It's their fans I can't stand. They have got to be--without a doubt--the most obnoxious breed of sports fan around. They are incapable of any rational thought when it comes to their team. They get diarrhea just thinking about how "great" their football team is. Want to know how I know this? Green Bay is the toilet paper capital of the world.

 

Look it up!

You mean Favre had ONE bad game in conditions that he said (prior to the game) were the worst conditions he had ever played in!?!??!??!

 

HOLY CRAP STOP THE PRESSES. Did you happen to see the conditions yesterday afternoon? It was like a white-out at one point. They did okay.

11th best in the NFL in overall defense, 14th best in rushing defense and 12th best in passing defense.

 

Some comparable passing defenses and what Brady did against them:

 

NY Giants (11th, 3.1 ypg fewer allowed), 32-42, 356 yards, 2TD, 116.8 passer rating

Dallas (13th, 2.7 more), 31-46, 388 yards, 5 TD, 0 INT, 129.6 passer rating.

San Diego (14th, 2.9 more), 25-31, 279 yards, 3 TD, 1 INT, 123.0 passer rating

Jacksonville (15th, 3.1 more), 26-28, 262 yards, 3 TD, 0 INT, 141.4 passer rating

Washington (16th, 3.6 more), 29-38, 306 yards, 3 TD, 0 INT, 125.6 passer rating

 

The game is going to be played in Phoenix so the weather is going to be nice. Green Bay wouldn't stand a chance defensively. The only chance they would have is if they scored 35 points, which is possible, but that wasn't the point. Green Bay's defense would get torn apart by Brady and the Pats offense..
