Or some shit like that. Gimme your guesses, and the winner gets a dream date, with kneepads, with Paul Williams. And a baby’s arm holding an apple. 2nd place is a weekend at Dennis’s. 3rd place is a week there.
I know there aren’t too many different options here, but hey, this looks like a great set of games for once. And, I tell ya one thing, it sure is a hell of a lot more fun having the Niners actually involved in the playoffs than watching them for strictly betting purposes. With a bye no less . . .
If you want to read my detailed breakdown of how I think the playoffs go (sure you do), just click the previous thread. I’ve gotten 3 predictions so far. Here’s the schedule of games:
Saturday, Jan. 7th
6.Bengals (9-7) vs. 3.Texans (10-6), 1:30 pm NBC
6.Lions (10-6) vs. 3.Saints (13-3), 5:00 pm NBC
Sunday, Jan. 8th
5.Falcons (10-6) vs. 4.Giants (9-7), 10:00 am FOX
5.Steelers (12-4) vs. 4.Broncos (8-8), 1:30 pm CBS
All times are Pacific Standard times. I have no idea when these games start in the Philippines.
Forty Niners Forever 
NO has to feel good. Now up in points after giving up two turnovers in the first half. I’m not sure the offenses are this good, or the defenses are that crappy. Some of both, I guess….
Payton showed some cojones going for it on 4th and short with the Brees sneak on the NO side of the field. Then they hit the big pass and on into the Ezone right after. That kind of coaching wins PO games…
N.s
Relax Denny, NO Saints are now responding to yer prayers and are stepping on the gas.
Fearless prediction from the philmeister: 38- 31 Niners at the Stick this Saturday. Quote: “Saints ain’t no Lazarus. No rising from the dead after facing 9ers D”
Dbacks for Saints are Krap…
Dbacks for Lions are Krap…
Man among boys…Calvin Johnson total Stud has NO DB.s sniffing his Jock as he blows.by them.
Shit, who was the guy from Slobispo? Ramses? Dude was like 6’5″ 220. And fast. He was drafted a couple years ago in the 3rd round . . .
Ramses Barden 6’6″ – 224 lb. Giants drafted him . . .
Hasn’t done all that much.
Deetroit is tackling for shit . . .
If Deetroit could tackle, they’d be in good shape.
Wow. NO is dodging bullets all over the field.
Heh heh. Cute ad with the non-playoff J-E-T-S. Figures. Only in commercials are the Jets relevant. . .
If NO goes on to win this one, I’m feeling good. No way the Niner rushing D is giving up these long runs, and Niner LBs are so much better on short coverages and tackling, it’s crazy. Niners get a coupla turnovers, I like their chances against NO…
What the HELL was that play by the Lions? Plenty of time left, Stafford throws a duck?…
Yeah, I hear ya, Snarkk. I’ve never seen so many missed tackles sine the last Raider game.
And yeah, not the time to throw the panic deep ball. If you throw that, it HAS to be to Mergatroid.
Ouch. And the wheels fall off the Deetroit wagon.
Wow, Lions played ’em pretty even for 3+ quarters, then implode. That Stafford wounded duck pick was just nonsense, and a morale killer. Harbaugh was right, he focused on prepping for NO. Schwartz can shake his own hand into the offseason…
If the Niners Dbacks play like the Lions’ Dbacks did tonight Fangio will have an aneurysm — after he strangles somebody….
We won’t miss those TOs that Detroit blew. As I said a couple weeks ago, I look for them to handily beat NO..
well, I don’t know about *handily* but I will be happy to watch that unfold next Saturday. New Orleans has to tighten up a lot of shit to play us— our defense is a lot different than the Lions.
I call “handily” 10 points…like Chuckles and I both said, Brees will not get away with a game like tonight against us. 27-17 Niners…
It’s all about getting pressure on Brees. Deetroit didn’t get enough, and he still threw 3-4 balls that should have been picked. Like Snarkk said, the Niners don’t miss those tackles in the run game. Deetroit played flat and scared. Much like their head coach.
And still hung with them for 3 quarters.
Pedal to the metal…Detroit Wheels got 4 blown tires.
Here’s where Del Mar and I gonna part ways: 38-31 Niners and it won’t be that close. Niners advance to Championship Game.
Oh well, the Schwartz wasn’t with them tonight.
Schwartz didn’t even try to run, it was close enough most of the way to do it, just 6 rushes from a RB..
That doesn’t get old . . .
Love it, first time viewer
Phil, if you’re ever in Pinole, (the hometown of the Heisman Trophy Winner, Gino Torretta), please stop by and allow me to buy you a beer so I can can tell you how much his brother was better than that worthless, no good POS).
I went to HS (Salesian) and watched the elder Torretta play.
Gino? He was a mook and went to a public school like PVS.
Only the true Catholics, like Geoff and myself went to Salesian. 😀
The Torretta’s still own the Antlers Tavern. Their watering hole has, and will continue to be a staple of my life…but I digress…
Digress? No. I mean this from the bottom of my heart…if any of you Mooks ever happen to come by Pinole, I’d love to buy ya beer at the Antlers.
One of these days Denny I’m gonna make the trek over there again prolly with the wife n kid in tow but we’ll be sure to look you up and collect that beer my friend. Be happy to get you one in return. Maybe we can stop in and see the Bergermeister, try a little George Bricknell or sumptin’. You game?
By then the Niners will be gunning for Super Bowl win number X (10). In addition to being HC Harbaugh will be running his World Famous Handshaking School and Psych Job Institute. Long waiting list I’m thinking?
Opening line…Saints -3 1/2 with an O/U of 47 and 1/2.
Needless to say, I find both of those numbers not only low, but insulting.
If Chuckles allows you to troll all week, I’ll be ruining your jokes all week.
At least I tell jokes that you can attempt to ruin.You? Your tales are worse than fingernails across a chalkboard.
You think a dead relative stabbing Alex is a joke.
Let’s get the PBA ball rolling…Brees threw for 466 last night. That’s 2 and 1/2 good games for Alex. Retort?
As I said, if Chuckles allows your trolling, it will be a very unpleasant week on the blog. Your question? What Brees did last night is utterly irrelevant..however, against our defense he would have 3 interceptions so Brees throws for 400, Alex 200, Alex wins 27-17..
You’re telling the that Drew Brees and his Saints will only score 17 pts?
“You old ignorant fish-eyed fool.” —Aunt Esther
That one TD less than their average against ALL teams away from home. Our defense isn’t average, Wet Brain.
What’s the proper etiquette when you see a former girlfriend of yours in the obits?
Flowers? Carnations? White? White carnations in an arrangement that reads, “This is what you get for breaking my heart, you soulless bitch. I hope you rot in hell.”
Too much?
From you, perfect. You could add that you wish you could have offed her yourself. That would be especially effective in a card to her loved ones…
How many pts will it take for the Niners to win next week? And don’t crack wise by saying, “one more than the Saints get.”
I’m thinking 27, 28 minimum. Mum? Maybe I should send my dead ex-girlfriend some chrysanthemums? Reminds me of the joke if Obama took over for St. Peter at the Pearly Gates…
A White guy and a Black guy both die in a car accident and arrive at the gates of Heaven to be judged. Obama tells them “God believes in affirmative action and wants to give Blacks equal opportunity to get into Heaven as Whites. There are many beautiful flowers in Heaven, and in order to enter Heaven, all you have to do is be able to spell the flower that I ask you to spell.”
Obama turns to the black guy and says “Spell rose, Tyrone.”
Tyrone replies “Uhhh, R-O-Z-E”.
“Not quite. Try again, Tyrone.” Then Obama silently mouths the letter S.
“Oh, yeah, exclaims Tyrone. R-O-S-E!”
“Very good, Tyrone. Welcome to Heaven.”
Obama then turns to the white man and says “Spell chrysanthemum.”
Just make your pick and shut the pie hole you pretend to shove food into.
So the black guy can’t spell “rose”? Good joke for alcoholic racist pigs….
You’re telling me to make my pick on Sunday for a game that won’t be played until next Saturday? I might not be the best prognosticator in the world, but even I know better than that. I learned long ago that “good things come to those who wait.”
As for you wanting my pick now…you can just anticipate. Like the makers from Heinz.
Next week you might try the gerbil, a rat, a cockroach…Frank hasn’t done well for you, DTD..
Hey Dennis….How to you get a nun pregnant?
Ans……..Dress her up as an alter boy…
How are the picks going?
I’m 1-1
Kat 1-1
Death Threat 0-2 ( plus the regular season 4-12 on the 49ers)
Phil: 2-0
Nip 2-0
Chuckles 1-1
Flav 1-1
Excuse you? I’m 0-2? You better run those numbers through you Blogculicator 2012 PRO Model again.
And if you actually thought that I thought the 49ers would lose each time I picked against them…well, you missed out on yet another joke.
Was it as good as the black man who can’t spell “rose”?
There you go again, twisting things around. The joke and punchline was actually against the WHITE guy. The denigration of the black guy was what we in the industry call the “set up.” But you wouldn’t know about that. You’re NOT funny.
