Former member Posted January 4, 2015 Author Share #101 Posted January 4, 2015 The Ravens won there two years ago for the AFC Championship. They'll be back again next week.but the Ravens are not nearly as good as they were 2 years ago and the Patriots are far better than back then.

I'm going 1 out of 4 this weekend -- barring a shutout if Romo does his normal choking. Meh, I can live with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randomguy Posted January 5, 2015 Share #114 Posted January 5, 2015 It's close now. Ok, I predicted the Panthers beating the Cards, although that was not exactly going out on a limb considering the quarterback situation. It was actually nice to see the Cowboys take the win, although I usually like to see the cowboys lose. I didn't see the Lions taking a two-touchdown lead, but then I didn't think the Cowboys could realistically expect to come back from that to win. Surprise, surprise, surprise.

jsharr ★ Posted January 5, 2015 Share #117 Posted January 5, 2015 I said it before, but I'll say it again. It's fun to watch Dallas implode. This is the difference this year. They looked like shit for two quarters then they came back and did not implode, put together a drive when needed, overcame stupid penalties and won the game. The refs screwed up with the interference call / non call / pick up shit. That marred this win, but the whole game was called sloppily. Tons of missed calls, like the face mask by Detroit on the pick up interference call, or the non call on running into our kicker, or the non call on Detroit hitting our return man when he signalled fair catc, or not calling Dez Bryant for being an asshat on the interfence call. All of them were borderline, none were called and all could have effected the game. A game does not come down to one call, one play, etc. It is the sum off all the parts. Dallas won.

Nice try though, comparing Romo to possibly the most overrated QB ever. On first glance, I would have agreed that Namath was overrated. When you think about it, though, that was back in the day when a pass wasn't a dink and dunk play, a good receiver averaged 20 yards a catch and most teams had a guy that could do that 40 times a year. I don't think most quarterbacks put a ball in the air over 20 yards more than a few times a game these days, just trying to minimize interceptions. Namath also played at a time when it wasn't unusual for a QB to throw as many interceptions as touchdowns, and a 55% completion percentage was pretty god-like. Also, when the Jets won that superbowl, they were still the interlopers on the old school scene, and winning against the big boys took talent and some swagger, tough conditions and all that.

Road Runner Posted January 5, 2015 Share #126 Posted January 5, 2015 It's tough to beat the Cowboys and the zebras too. I sometimes think the players and the coaches ramp up the foul play (holding, etc) during the playoffs because they know the officials and the league tend to look the other way and let the players "play". It seems that the officials would rather be guilty of a no call than to make a tough call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dottleshead ★ Posted January 5, 2015 Share #130 Posted January 5, 2015 I'm the proud owner of a $2 million dollar debt to the mob. I was 1-3 in predictions last weekend. I might be able to prolong it by making more bets on the upcoming Divisional games. So here's my next four games: 1) Green Bay over Dallas (but I'm hedging my bet) 2) Seattle over Carolina 3) New England over Baltimore (Baltimore gives 'em trouble though) 4) Denver over Dolts I know, I know. I've picked all the number one seeds. The only one I feel real confident in is probably Denver and probably my home team Seattle. The Seahawks have beaten the Panthers 3 years in a row at their house. Now they have to travel all the way across country and come up to Seattle and face us in the playoffs. Good luck with that. But from my high horse seat, the Panthers play ugly -- real ugly -- and that often translates into wins. In what is sure to be a grinder, I think we get it done. In the end, though, I predict all the number 1 seeds go through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
