T1B

7-1 so far.

Seattle over SF
Denver over NE

New England - 31
Denver - 28

San Francisco - 23
Seattle - 20

I'm right there with Scott on this game. I think Denver tightens there game up a bit and while it will be close, I just think Manning is due. The thing going for the Pats, beside Brady, is that this is Belicheats best coaching year to date, and anything could happen. Still, that being said:
Broncos 35 Pats 28


As for the NFC game, damn I dislike both of these teams. But if I have to choose, San Francisco simply looks better. Seattle has the talent, but something is a little off with the offense, just as Scott and others have brought up. As the bile rises making this pick:
49'ers 24 Seachickens 17

Seahawks-27 Fortywhiners-17

Omaha-34 NE-28

Seattle's offense is non-existent save for Marshawn Lynch-if Harvin makes it out of the locker room, I'd call it
Seattle 23
Niners 21
if Harvin doesn't make it on the field, I'll say
Niners 24
Seattle 17

Denver's game should have been a bigger win, save for an interception in the endzone and a questionable fumble by Julius Thomas.....but the defense once again showed their vulnerability to being beaten with the pass and New England shows up with a much better pass offense than the Blots.....

I think this game is a shoot-out and who ever has the last possession will likely be the winner......
Denver 38
Patsies-34

You mean except for #5 SF (wildcard) beating #2 Carolina, right?

Sea 27-24
N.E. 28-27

My preseason pick was a Niners/Dongholes Superbowl. Too late to back off that now.

Despite seeding, SF was the betting favorite in that game... probably what $cott meant, I'm sure.

Niners
Patriots

Will these games even be worth watching? I will be out at Torrey Pines trails.

The NFC game will be epcot. There's no love lost between the coaches, players, and cities.

SF was a 1pt favorite in that game

Also despite record, it was clear the 49ers were one of the two best teams in the NFC

Carolina was a lot like KC, they improved in large part by playing a softer schedule

Got it.....but the top four seeds did not move on with SF being the #5. I agree SF is the best team left as far as I am concerned and will win it all.

DEN
SEA

SF +3.5
NE +5.5

NE-DEN It makes sense to go with Denver but I see the Patriots finding a way to keep Manning off the field, and when he's there, they will let them run the ball and then play good red zone D and hold them to FGs. Patriots 34, Broncos 30 another Manning INT late and choke job in playoffs.


SF-SEA People high on San Fran but Kaepernick will get his ass flustered by the noise and Lynch powers his way to a solid game and the Seattle DBs get some key turnovers. Seahawks 23, 49ers 16

Rack!

Tommy got me hooked on GOT last weekend, Scott... 'Bout halfway through Season 2. Can't wait to hook him up with this link!

A stupid take from a stupid bitch.

It's only two of the best QBs to ever play the game squaring up again with a conference championship on the line and in the other game, two of the best defenses in the league with rising stars at QB tearing each other up for the 3rd time this year.

If you like professional football, yes, these games are worth watching. If you are a brainless twat, your mileage may vary.

Funny. The "World-Wide Leader" did a feature on the of Emerald City's "unique tradition" ( 'sup aTm ) of raising the 12th Man flag. Yet loud as that half-roofed, sound-trapping erector set is, it only edged out KC as the loudest venue in the NFL by 0.1 of a decibel point. Poseurs.

Edit for Scott: The boys are already working on wytching an English-language version of your GOT vid. They. Loved. It.

Hate to say, but I've seen this before.

A couple of times.

New England turning in a very Chiefs-like performance. Fuckin' Denver. [/grumble]

Exactly. I thought I was watching a repeat of last weeks game vs the Bolts. Congrats for making the big show to the Broncos & their fans.

Good rule when they get it right. Zebra's flamed that one...

I think the officials are more intimidated by the crowd than the 'Niners are.

Where was the call on James's punt return? The guy hit him in the head and pulled his helmet off by the facemask.
Two incredibly cheap personals went the other way, why was this not called?

KC Scott wrote:I don't think it's a good rule, I think it's a CYA rule that you can thank the lawsuits for

Leading with the crown of your hat on a defenseless receiver is a bad rule?

Mokay.



Think they used to call it "spearing" back when we were kids, Scotty, but if you say so...

Truman wrote:Good rule when they get it right. Zebra's flamed that one...

I'd say overall they're running about 30% to 40%.

Leading with the crown of your head is stupid. Way more dangerous to the spearer than spearee. I say let the dumbfukks try to paralyze themselves if they want.

Running into the kicker?
He almost broke his fucking ankle.

This is supposed to be an "all star" team of officials.
Left Seater could do a better job.

KC Scott wrote:Brilliant take 'holic, except the hits we are talking about were delivered with the shoulder

Oh.

So what was the call or non-call then? Is it now illegal to lead with the shoulder in the Nancy Football League?

Jesus fucking Christ. You almost have to pull a gun on these morons to get a call against the home team.

KC Scott wrote:no question that was grounding on Wilson - WTF is with this officiating crew?

They have to confer to decide if it's obvious enough to get them fired if they fuck it up.

Settle down, fatboy.

Roughing the kicker is the stupidest fukking rule in football. Kickers should receive the same protection as QBs. If it is judged that the rusher had a realistic chance of blocking the ball, contact should be allowed.

Kickers are a lot more exposed than QBs are.

Either you block it or you don't.
He didn't block it therefore he didn't have a realistic chance of blocking it.

its called the defenseless receiver rule

it's a pure judgement call -

It is pure bullshit.

how is the tackler supposed to figure out whether or not the guy is defenseless?

Game over.
Nice job Kap.

Horrible injury.
Another obvious and horrible call by the officials.

I'm a little biased but this is by far the worst called game I have ever seen.

what kind of a shit call was that? it was obviously an int/fumble recovery/whateverthefukk.

the fukking NFL really is becoming unwatchable. who the fukk makes these ridiculous rules?

Seriously this calls for mass firings of incompetent "all star" officials.

geeebus that was a shit throw

seems like kaepernick needs to throw off the wrong foot under huge pressure to be any good.

WTF

Nice play by Sherman.

I hope Petey, the Seahawks and the entire city of Seattle die in a Tiger Balm fire.
