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.
