NFL Week #19 Divisional Weekend - Page 3

While our defense has given up a stack of yards people do forget a few things. Our turnover margin and points against are amongst the best in the league. You can run up yards all you want but if you don't score points it doesn't really mean a damn thing and that's where we've come up big.

Shutting down Marshawn Lynch will be tough. Really tough. Ryan is also good at running down the clock. Seattle is a great team but I think the combination of a capitalistic defense and a powerful offense will be too much for Wilson & co.

At least I hope.

Could very well be... The Seahawks were #1 for points on Defense. That's going against some pretty good offenses too. So we're well aware of yards vs. points.

Wilson has been good at not making many mistakes (more of missed opportunities) as of late. We are a very young team and while the experience in Washington was valuable, this is going to be another level.

I'd have to look but I don't know that Atlanta has gone up against this type of physical defense either. Should be a good game!

Here's how I see it:
Atlanta over Seattle - It'll be a very close game, it might even go to OT, but I think the home team pulls it out.
Denver over Baltimore - sorry, Ray Lewis's farewell tour doesn't end with a ring, but with a dismantling by Peyton Manning & Co.
Green Bay over SF - I feel like GB is getting hot at the right time and will be a serious contender for the Superbowl.

And as much as it pains me to say...

NE over Houston

I would love love love to be proven wrong and see the Texans win, but I just don't see it happening unless the Texans win the turnover battle, Schaub doesn't screw up, and Arian Foster runs like the dickens. That's a lot of "ifs." I have no doubt Arian will do well, but the other two...

The State Journal, and now I, stand corrected. 1300 hospitalized with flu.

Ravens Broncos

Great game so far. I wonder if the refs will feel like calling pass interference against the Ravens defense in the second half. They seemed most unwilling in the first.

Also, if the Broncos D don't start putting a little pressure on Flacco, Champ Bailey is headed for one of his most regrettable games.

In other news, the Ravens' defense is preparing cement shoes for their special teams coach

Dr Stankface · #48 01-12-2013, 06:50 PM

GOT 'EM!!! What a game...

electracoyote · #49 01-12-2013, 06:50 PM

Ugh.

One of the sloppiest games the Broncos played all year. And one of the sloppiest referee'd games I've ever seen. When they showed the replay and even the commentators called it right in favor of Denver, almost every time the refs ruled it in favor of the Ravens. Many times.

Horrible.

Oh well. Refs trump the 12th Man. The Curse of the Bye Week. Call it what you will. It's history now. Congrats to the Ravens. Good luck in the AFC Championship game.

That was a game for the ages, but I saw the GB-SF game being like that...and it is starting to look like it. Maybe the Superbowl will be a Harbaugh battle.

Kinda funny, in the end, Manning didn't get any further than Tebow, well, the OT, I suppose.

Tebow at least won one playoff game.

Yeah, combined with the streak that got him to the playoffs, it almost makes you believe in miracles. Just don't try to tell that to the Jets or their fans.

In the end, Manning did the unthinkable. He turned it over. In overtime. In sudden death. In his own territory.

Aye! You got me there!

I was completely disappointed by the Broncos, but the 49ers are more than making up for it.

*snort* The Jets. I can't believe I actually UNDERestimated how badly they'd handle Tebow. Friggin' idiots.

I can't imagine a worse way to use him, unless they tried him as a kicker, or punt returner..... Maybe.

GregC · #60 01-12-2013, 10:12 PM

If someone told me this morning that Peyton Manning would be spotted 14 points by a returner and Aaron Rodgers would be spotted 7 by the defense, and both of them would lose, I'd tell him he's nuts. Crazy day.
