NFL Divisional Round

[Ding Dong Johnson]

This makes the Lynch run even better. Watch it!

 

Better yet...

 

Vance's is better.

With the Super Mario Bros? Whatever...

Since 1990, the No. 1 or 2 seed has represented the NFC in the Super Bowl 17 of the 20 years. In the AFC, it's 14 of 20.

 

The NFC's No. 1 seed has only lost in the Divisional round twice since 1990, in 2007 (Giants over Dallas) and 2008 (Philly over Giants) and the No. 2 seed has only lost 5 times. The No. 1 and 2 seed met in the NFC title game 14 out of 20 years.

 

In the AFC, the No. 1 seed has lost eight out of 20 times in the Divisional round and the No. 2 seed has lost six times. Only seven times in the last 20 years have the No. 1 and 2 seeds met in the AFC title game. In each of the past five years at least one of the top two AFC seeds has lost in the Divisional Round.

My favorite is #22, not just for getting pushed around like a rag doll, but for giving up completely on the 22 yard line. What a pathetic show.

Nobody's talking about Hasselbeck's block in the back?

Just for fun, my Divisional round picks

 

Saturday:

Ravens 24 Steelers 21

Packers 21 Falcons 28 (what the hell, everyone is picking the Packers)

 

Sunday:

Bears 24 Seahawks 20

Patriots 36 Jets 27

 

That gives us Ravens @ Patriots and Bears @ Falcons for the Super Bowl. My early gut would be Pats and Falcons meeting in Dallas.

My picks:

 

Patriots 36, Jets 26

Ravens 23, Steelers 20

 

Packers 33, Falcons 28, OT

Bears 27, Seahawks 13

Bears 27, Seahawks 13

 

I'm trying to figure out why your AFC picks are almost exactly like mine lol. But really I'm trying to figure out how one could win by 5 in an OT game. The only way I can see that happening is if the Packers kick a FG on their first possession of OT, then on the Falcons chance to possess the ball they get sacked in the end zone for a safety. Is that what you intended?

Yes, because I thought it'd be funny. Plus, it's the only somewhat feasible way that a team could score twice in OT.

I'll go Pats 45 Jets 13.

 

I don't think the Jets come close.

No, a pick 6 on the Falcons possession is way more feasible than a safety.

I'll take the Jets pulling off the upset.

No, because the second someone picks off the pass, he's kneeling down, because the game's over.

Unless you're Tramon Williams, in which case you pick off the pass, and then dance around for 10 seconds with a live ball.

Well, that was interesting...

Sure, if the pick is deep over the middle. But considering how often pick 6's come off passes in the flat where there is nothing but clear sailing for the defender, you have to think most guys are staying upright and running it in to clinch the game. A safety coming off a possession that starts with a kickoff, instead of a punt deep inside the 5, turnover on downs following a goal line stand or red zone turnover, is highly unlikely.

Counting last year, a 1 or a 2 seed from the NFC has lost in the divisional round three of the last five years. In 2008, neither the 1 or 2 seed made it to the NFC Championship Game.

Yeah, has anyone even seen a safety occur after a kickoff?

it could happen pretty quickly. kickoff returner muffs the kick, ball rolls around the 4 yr line, receiving team recovers.

 

offense steps back in a pass, defense gets a quick inside rush that forces the QB out and the DE chases after him into the end zone for the safety. those are 2 plays that can happen with out any imagination and would lead to a safety in that situation.

 

 

a pick-6 to the flat would probably be more likely, tho.

I don't know I could see it happening in (extremely rare) instances where a short kickoff is mishandled by the returner as it bounces back 15 yards and the returner has to fall on it inside the 5.

I already ran out of the room after the INT and didn't even see what he did until after the game ended. That was just idiotic.

That sounds like a Lions play from a few years ago.
