NFL Wild Card Weekend LD

[The 1-2-3 Killam]

ALright, no more work from now until Monday. I am now free to watch all of this weekends football. How's the Bengals/Texans game going? I hear not well for either team.

 

[The Brain]

Hey guys, does anyone know what needs to happen in order to get a Denver/Indianapolis game?

 

[Megatron]

The defenses are playing their part, but both QBs are shaky at best. Cincy still isn't putting the ball in the hands of their best playmaker, and Houston keeps settling for FGs in Cincy territory.

EDIT: Brain, an Indy win (obv.) and Houston win would set up Denver/Indy and NE/Houston.

 

[The Brain]

Thanks Megatron. Now pulling for Houston to have a chance at that match up.

 

[The 1-2-3 Killam]

Good fake.

 

[The 1-2-3 Killam]

Hey look at that, the Bengals are in positive passing numbers. Only took them to the 3rd quarter, but

 

[Megatron]

No Ponder for the Vikings. Webb hasn't thrown a pass all season. However, I remember him from last year being absolutely scary running the ball. If I was Minny I'd try some read options with him and Peterson and the Packers must absolutely keep contain.

I know this might sound silly to say, but don't count out the Vikings with Webb. This may even be good for them, as they should try to control the ball and Webb can run well.

And finally some AJ Green viewing. 3 catches on the drive and they're in the red zone. Surprising how that works.

 

[Megatron]

Solid challenge but I think that call stands. Arm looked like it was going forward.

That, and Green Bay has been prepping for Ponder for two weeks now. They know the 2012/13 Vikings, and after the loss last week you know they're going to have come up with plenty of things to counter them. Throw a wrench into the system though, and it might fall apart. Tonight's game could go either way, but it's the one I'm looking forward to most in the wild card round. Still steamed that the Pack fucked up and landed themselves here though.

 

[Papa Pillman]

Bengals now have as many 4th down conversions as 3rd down conversions(and the only 3rd down conversion came on a penalty). Yikes.

 

[The 1-2-3 Killam]

Somehow this game is only within 6 points for the Bengals, who have been playing like garbage. I wish I had taken the Texans defense in the playoff challenge...

 

[Tattooed Jesus]

Yeah this Texans vs Bengals game has been all kinds of unexciting. I almost fell asleep a few minutes into the 3rd quarter.

 

[Papa Pillman]

Make it 8,036 Days and counting...

 

[The 1-2-3 Killam]

This is my game, right here.

 

[The 1-2-3 Killam]

Ugh. These playoff music videos ruin football for me. The NFL and NBC ****e themselves out so much. It's bad enough that an NFL game is 80% ads and 15% replays as it is... Do we really need a shitty song that sucks the dick of NBC and its affiliates?

 

[Megatron]

Oh boy Joe Webb getting it going early with the read option. Love it.

 

[Megatron]

That's what the Pack are gonna have to do. Make him throw. Anytime it's 3rd and 5 or less I wouldn't be surprised to see Minny run it. Minny still gets the lead, so I'd consider it a win right now for them.

 

[The 1-2-3 Killam]

Keeping MN to a field goal. I can live with that. Webb is going to be tricky in this game, I can tell.

 

[The 1-2-3 Killam]

Dear Joe Webb,

Please throw the ball straight up in the air from now on.

Sincerely,
Packers fans

 

[The 1-2-3 Killam]

Did the Packers just time travel from the second quarter, back to the first quarter? I swear I went to take a piss, and they were going to the second quarter. Come back and it's 0:28 left in the first.

The magic of Aaron Rodgers.

 

[Megatron]

Joe Webb cannot throw. They should just run run and run some more. Stop with this silly 'passing' game.

 

[KettleFace]

Poor old Webb.

 

[The Crock]

It's been a disastrous game for the Vikings.

 

[Slyfox696]

It's a shame Ponder got injured. This could have been a great game.

 

[Ty Burna]

Sigh.
