Yeah, the Niners are out of it, but for football fans, these next two weekends are quite simply the best. Four games that should be barnburners.
Saturday we have:
Houston Texans (9-7) vs. 5 – Kansas City Chiefs (11-5)
1:25 p.m., ESPN/ABC
Cincinnati Bengals (12-4) vs. 6 – Pittsburgh Steelers (10-6)
5:15 p.m., CBS
KC hasn’t won a playoff game since Bush 1 I think. It has been eons. Joe Montana was their QB. Houston is such a non-descript team, so I’m pulling for KC. Go Alex!
KC 28 – Hou 17
The Bengals suffer yet another early playoff exit, unless the curse of Ginger is lifted since AJ McCarron is their QB. Who am I kidding? Cincy’s defense is solid, but Pittsburgh wins a defensive battle.
Pitt 17 – Cincy 12
Sunday is:
Minnesota Vikings (11-5) vs. 6 – Seattle Seahawgs (10-6)
10:05 a.m., NBC
Washington Redskins (9-7) vs. 5 – Green Bay packers (10-6)
1:40 p.m., FOX
Minn vs Seattle? Would love to see Minnesota pull off the upset, but it won’t happen. Even at home. Seattle wins going away.
Seattle 24 – Minn 13
Skins/Packers? Green bay is floundering and Cousins is flying high, but for some reason I don’t think Wash pulls this off. Playoff jitters?
GB 35 – Wash 26
Forty Niners Forever 
Game’s on right now. Espn2.
Baalke’s not gonna for a qb at #1, it’s not his style. How he is still here is unbelievable. Tomsula needed to go but he isn’t the problem, Baalke created it all.
If he doesn’t, he’s completely ignorant to the problems with this team. Especially if Goff is there for him. This team desperately needs to improve on offense. As bad/stupid as the defense looked at times, I think they are in decent enough shape at this point. The offense was as inept as I’ve ever seen it. And that includes the Scott Bull/singing QB days.
Regardless of Kappy’s situation, they need to start developing another QB.
This Wentz guy looks very good today.
Totally agree. Even with a patchwork OL kappy should have done a lot better. It has been long enough. I wish they would make a WR out of him, he is a pretty tough customer.
Wonder if they bring in Rob Chudzinski for the HC spot. They were blocked last year.
I don’t know but if nothing is done pretty soon all the good one’s will be taken and we will be right back to where we were last year.
You guys better quit day dreaming. College QB’s are a poor risk. Baalke knows this and will not draft one especially a high pick.
Im guessing Jackson is our next HC
Hope it works out
My playoff team is KC.
Be funny if Alex Smith wins it all !!!
That would be cools. Unlikely but cool.
Shitty games so far.
This is the NFL of today. Makes you wonder what happened.
Be nice to see Cincy win. Who’s McCarrons backup?
Cincy’s running the ball with 2:20 left down 2 scores.
Ooops. It’s 3rd quarter. How is that not a penalty? Helmet to helmet. That’s a spear. Jesus. The NFL is retarded. Hitting a WR with your shoulder is a penalty but hitting a running back with the crown of your helmet isn’t? The Pittsburgh WR took 3 steps and got hit. Penalty?
Listen to these guys justify it. This fucking game is getting ridiculous.
Shit, if I’m Cincy, I’m going after Rothleisberger.
Chuck I do the Draft homework so you all can save some time.
I stack my own Board to see where it goes.
Aaand there goes big Ben.
I appreciate it, NJ. You do a lot of draft study. My son is getting into it. We watched som eof the ND St. game today. Wentz looked good today,
Here comes Cincy.
Started Draft research with my eldest Son over 30yrs ago Chuck.
Addicting.
But, it taught my kids the game along the way.
I also like ND St LT Joe Haeg too.
My theory, get the impact guy with Pick 1.
This year that might be a Defensive player, ala Aldon.
We’ll see…
This is getting good . . .
Ouch. Can’t fumble there after fighting so hard to get the lead.Big Ben is back
Jesus. Burfixt with a stupid play there.
And it’s getting worse.
Wow. What a stupid ending. The refs fucked this up.
