2016 NFL Playoff thread

[Sainters7]

Overhearing some of the chatter here at the pub is making me laugh. Amazing how many people here don't realize it's -2 FAHRENHEIT, not Celsius.

Lots of "-2 and you're cold? That's pathetic" talk. This isn't the CFL playoffs, guys. Do you see any Baconators??

[Senator Clay Davis]

A half to forget in clock management from both coaches.

[TheAlpineOracle]

Seattle is looking pretty terrible on offence so far.

[GirlySports]

Should have punted. Even from the 30

[Senator Clay Davis]

Really this game so far is the turnover on the punt. Neither team doing anything much on offense.

Disagree. You go for it, but you cant throw the ball short of the sticks.

[GirlySports]

It's too cold to throw it that far

[M*A*S*H 4077]

I dislike PI on underthrown passes. I'd change that rule

[Senator Clay Davis]

Might as well go for it again here.

[M*A*S*H 4077]

Wilson put ay too much air on that pass. TD if better thrown

[Sainters7]

Now up to 22 points scored in the 3 first halfs combined. Basically in 11 of the 12 quarters, absolutely nothing has happened. And then in 1 of the quarters, everything happened.

[GirlySports]

Well its cold.

The late game later will be high scoring

I was saying the same thing, until they showed the replay and dude never got his head around. Gotta at least pretend to look for the ball. But agreed, I hate PIs on under thrown balls unless it's really blatant

That second Pac Man flag seemed a bit over the top because of that, unless there's something I missed (I hear a line judge may have been shoved or something?). Porter probably should've gotten a flag anyway.

Porter looks to be part of the group of coaching staff that went out to check on and take Brown off the field after the attempted murder . . . er . . . sorry, targeted head shot.

4:30 mark in the video he's walking off the field with Brown and rest of the staff. He's trailing though and get separated by Burfict and then Gilberry (#95) sees him and speeds up, purposely physically bumps him from behind. Then you see the rest below.



Porter is already backing up with hands completely down and idle, literally keeping his mouth. Smiling almost. Bengals themselves do the rest; Pacman surges in and pushes the officials.

It would be ridiculous to try to blame any opposing player for the penalties at the end of the game, it's all on the Bengals.

The altercation that you mention wasn't on the field at all, it was deep on the Pittsburgh sideline. Doesn't excuse it but it's not like he's running on the field of play to pull his hair like you are claiming and Mike Munchak correctly got a penalty for it. Probably facing a fine too.




Back to today's games!

[corporatejay]

Nice catch.

[Senator Clay Davis]

Seahawks needed that catch for field position if nothing else.

[JiriHrdina]

Is it just me or is the amount of unreal catches way up this year?

[Senator Clay Davis]

Bad play calling today from Seattle. And just catastrophic clock management, just take the penalty and punt.

[corporatejay]

Wilson is going to have to run himself. This is a disaster.

[GirlySports]

thats just awful, take the delay of game penalty and punt
