Here we are on the brink of another wild weekend of football. This means so much more now that we are back in the playoffs after a 5 year absence. Here’s the schedule:
Saturday, Jan. 11
No. 6 Vikings at No. 1 49ers, 1:35 p.m. PT (NBC, stream on fuboTV here)
No. 6 Titans at No. 1 Ravens, 5:15 p.m. ET (CBS, stream on CBS All Access here)
Sunday, Jan. 12
No. 4 Texans at No. 2 Chiefs, 12:05 p.m. PT (CBS, stream on CBS All Access here)
No. 5 Seahawks at No. 2 Packers, 3:40 p.m. PT (Fox, stream on fuboTV here)
Minnesota gets the shortest end of the stick as they played last Sunday, have only 5 days to get ready, and they fly west to kill most of a day. They also have the disadvantage of being a dome team playing outside. Minn was 4-4 on the road, but all 4 losses came outdoors. They beat the Giants, Deetroit, Dallas, and the Chargers. 2 outdoor teams (NYG, Bolts) with a combined record of 9-23. So, there’s that.
The rest? We’ll see. Seattle I think is the class of the rest of the NFC. Maybe it’s just the way we kicked their ass, but I don’t see them taking Seattle. Rodgers looks skittish when pressure, and they can go south in a hurry. Hawks 24 – GB 17.
Ravens and Chiefs should roll. Balt 31 – Tenn 14 . . . . . . . . Chiefs 35 – Texans 20.
Does Balt whine on every play?
I’m really digging the 4th down stuffs.
That was something! Henry to Davis!!!
Yeah just before the snap I see Tannehill on the sidelines and they pan back to the snap and their is Henry in the shotgun, I thought he was going to run it like a wildcat, but nooo jump pass!!
Didn’t see this coming, I was talking to a buddy who wanted to know what was up with Tannehill. I said he was a good QB on a horrible Dolphin team. He’s now taking advantage of a good situation.
Didn’t think he would be this good though.
Shit, this ain’t over.
Now it’s over.
Titans opened some eyes tonight…
Tennessee!,
Baltimore right now, tonight is San Francisco, January 9, 1988.
Lot of stunned fans.
Yup. Balt wasn’t rusty. Tenn isn’t a battle-tested perennial playoff team. They just beat the shit out of the Ravens.
Now it is. Funny thing is, there was so much talk about the Vikings beating the Niners, but nothing about Tenn beating the Ravens.
My two biggest worries in these playoffs were New Orleans, Balt, and Seattle. Two down, one to go.
Russel Wilson has such a history with us that no matter what the situation is I get worried.
Glad Balt. got beat hopefully the Titans exposed Jackson’s game. But I think it was more the injuries to Ingram and their TE. Don’t really give a fuck but I am glad that we won’t see Balt in the SB just in case we get there.
Yup. I’m with you there. It would be wholly satisfying to stomp them here, but then again, the path of lesser resistance would be Green Bay. RW just scares the shit out of me. As MVPs go, the guy most important to the state of his team is Russell Wilson in a landslide. They would be 4-12 without him.
New thread is up.
