2016 NFL Playoffs - Divisional Round

Saturday:
KC @ NE (-5)
GB @ ARI (-7)

Sunday:
SEA @ CAR (-3)
PIT @ DEN (-6.5)

wildcard: road wins
divisional: home wins

chiefs, cardinals, panthers, broncos

tough to pick against Brady & co in the playoffs vs an inexperienced squad (especially with Edelman coming back) but KC feels like the one AFC team that can give them trouble

tough but fair tbh

one of them will be moved to the nfc west apparently

make the rams switch for rub ins

“@HBalzer721: Hearing Stan Kroenke told owners this morning not to cross him; believes there would be collusion if chose Carson with Chargers-Raiders.”

lol what a dick

sounds like chargers / rams now

two teams are moving to la?

yep

and the raiders are getting a consolation prize of $$$$$$

so after having 20 years of zero teams theyre gonna have two and two other cities are gonna have none this plan seems poor

howre los angeles residents gonna decide who to root for its too much for them to handle pretty sure

tho it is kinda interesting that all three teams have played in LA before

move em all there i say start a new league where they just play each other

oakland makes the most sense to move since the bay already has a team thats the most sensitive approach imo

howre los angeles residents gonna decide who to root for its too much for them to handle pretty sure

They're going to keep rooting for the Raiders, the only team anyone there cares about.

oakland makes the most sense to move since the bay already has a team thats the most sensitive approach imo

lol good luck getting anyone in oakland to root for the niners

just have to wait for anyone alive now to die off

everyone in sf is moving here anyway so it might work out in the end

this sounds like a very bad idea

It is like the Dodgers/Angels but both teams are the Angels

lol at everyone playing in the coliseum for three years

based on the edward jones dome, that's 15% of an nfl stadium's feasible lifetime

Browns finally hire a head coach who has some previous head coaching experience.

just barely...

i think it's a reasonable hire tho, i hope he does well

Damn.

holy shit

that is one of the saddest stories ever told right there, the life of lawrence phillips

damn

whats the over/under on people getting viciously attacked at LA coliseum games? +/- 5?

the seat rows there are comically huge.. too easy for drunk people bumping into each other to start beef imo

my dad saw some dude get thrown down a flight of stairs at a raiders game in the 80s.

that is one of the saddest stories ever told right there, the life of lawrence phillips

i disagree?

well sadder for a lot of the people around him and his destruction was self inflicted but i think it's always sad to see such a relentless unstoppable accelerated decline to oblivion.

yesterday a judge found that there was enough evidence to try phillips for his cellmate's murder so i guess he figured that was that.

thought this was a pretty good interview

chip kelly = new 49ers HC

(was about to say condolences to spottie & other niners fans but tbh sure he might be decent for that team, long as they keep him away from GM decisions?)

how did the 9rs become the worst org in the nfl, sas

this is going to be great for everyone who isn't a 49ers fan

:/

that interview is good!

seems like chip is a fine coach but just messed everything up by trying to be GM at the same time

yeah it COULD work honestly. they'll be better than last year!

chip gotta get back to college man

did nantz or simms just fart? according to my twitter i'm not the only one who heard what sounded very much like a fart

i can confirm fart noise

"peyton manning knew he wasn't touched"

steelers have good depth @ wr/te

pittsburgh players must have plans next weekend

sacre bleu

No one wants to win this game

peyton totally went the throw-to-jesus rule on that one lol

*route

peyton wears the jacket peyton doesn't wear the jacket

that roethlisberger sack was p glorious

2015 broncos still the luckiest team i've ever seen.

can confirm via watching every broncos game this year that they shdve lost them all

this was an incredible moment

it's completely crazy that the broncos won that game otoh the pats are going to blow them off the earth

tbh this was prob the worst thing that could happen to the broncos longterm if it in anyway convinces them to bring peyton back next year

the broncos at this point are basically like that ravens team that won the super bowl with trent dilfer at qb

i don't think edging a beat-up 6-seed at home and getting blown off the earth by the patritos is gonna convince them to bring peyty back

dilfer won a super bowl; peyton just won a quarterfinal

apparently peyton has only thrown 1 td at home this season

How many did his receivers drop tho

almost all the drops were horrible throws tho

you can't drop a pass that's not catchable

yeah I disagree with that, some of the throws sailed a bit but by and large they were right in the receivers hands

really just rooting for either team on the NFC side, love Cam, love Fitz, kinda want to see Carson get one just because of how crazy that sounds

better play better than he has the last couple games

peyton was throwing balls at guys' knees and shoulders all day, those passes are technically catchable sure but drops are what happen when you throw balls like that

several of those dropped passes were plenty catchable

anything not spinning would be a total knuckler in that wind

Looked to me that Manning had a bit more zip on some of his passes than earlier this year. I think NE will probably stack in close and maybe try to force him to throw deep.

I think even as is, Denver has a better shot than KC did. Broncos got a better pass rush and skills guys. Got to figure Me is favorite but I could believe Denver could win.

the mile high stadium too

just realized all the games were within one score

tho a couple did finish up w onside kicks so not thaat close

no wait three of them finished w onside kicks kinda crazy

and all three were won by 7

the other game was won by six but wldve been seven if they had kicked the pat

yeah he was throwing tons of wobblers that were "catchable" but increased the difficulty curve for the receiver.

I was impressed with Ben though, given the grade of horse tranquilizers he was probably on

all credit goes to Denver's defense but seriously, I've never seen them give up so many 20+ yard plays on totally uncovered guys all this season

felt like in both den-pit & az-gb the better qb should have won the game but mysterious forces (tipped passes, dropped INTs, bad fumbles) swung the game away from them

they cldnt get a rush all those long passes he had forever to stand around which w a qb of his skill is you know xp

my friend was literally praying for a turnover the play before pitt fumbled

ive been watching denver games w a crew of broncos die hards all season and next weekend is the apocalypse

need to find an ally

the regular season game was bad enough, my presence was triggering lol

you should probably leave the state

tru

felt like in both den-pit & az-gb the better qb should have won the game but mysterious forces (tipped passes, dropped INTs, bad fumbles) swung the game away from them

Arizona's touchdown drive that ate up most of the 4th quarter was one of the most painful I've ever had to watch as a Packer fan - I counted two picks that were dropped, two 3rd downs picked up by less than an inch, a bunch of missed offensive holding calls, and a touchdown thrown off a lineman's helmet. GB's had some real frustrating playoff losses since the SB win.

the missed calls were v bad.

giving up that 75 yard play in the OT game-winning drive was also v bad.

on the other hand, FIIIITZZZ!!!
