NFL Playoffs: Conference Round

[bucher34]

I'm not going any further into this argument.

Seems to me like people are nitpicking. Sure, it's annoying...but athletes have so much to be thankful for...Warner simply chooses to express his thankfulness to a higher power to the World.

Nothing wrong with that. It's just like an actor thanking his parents for an Academy Award and his wife and his producer and his next door neighbor and his list maker and his agent and his dog.

It's simply just his way.

I understand what it's all about, it just makes him come off as kind of a douchebag, in my (very frank) opinion. Not just thanking God for a win (though, again, I addressed that point, it makes no logical sense, because there was a loser and all, and what, did God forsake the loser??)...

But praying your way back from injury, or making a claim that you, more or less, are on some sort of blessed mission from God. Without being funny in a Blues Brothers type of way about it...

I really doubt God is picking and choosing athletes and healing their injuries (Kitna prayed his way back from a concussion), or turning guys from grocery store shelf stockers into NFL MVPs.

But I guess I don't understand buying into religion, either, so yeah... I guess I'm through with this conversation too.

[OregonDuck1989]

Like I said it's just his way of doing things.

I'm hoping for a Warner-less Super Bowl for one reason...the wives of the quarterbacks get face time, and I'd rather see someone not as blatantly annoying as Brenda Warner.

Ok, true story. I know a girl who actually dated Kurt for a month or so in their senior year of HS back in NW Iowa (1988). They went to Germany on an all-Iowa basketball trip. They took him down to the red light district and he went all God crazy on them and took off. Later, she was trying to get him into bed and he did the whole pre-marital thingie. Needless to say that her hormones and his didnt match.

Anywho, they all make fun of Brenda to this day as a huge inside joke. I never got it, but so be it.

Ravens/ Phillie.

[Clay Dreslough]

Pitt giving up 38 points?

I don't see it.

They gave up 31 to San Diego in the snow.

Well ... assuming you count the 7 points the refs stole when they overturned the pass to Vincent Jackson...



That was without a doubt the best catch I've ever seen. I'm a Pats fan so I pretty much hate both the Chargers and the Steelers, but I like good football. Nevertheless, it's hard to support a league that calls that an incompletion.

[grasshopper]

I think they said this is the most screwed up playoffs since 1971. If Baltimore knocks off the Steelers, it might be the most officially low seeded championships in Super Bowl history. I think that Baltimore will win 24-16. Phillie beats AZ 21-20.

San Diego IS the second highest scoring offense in the NFL.

Baltimore...isn't.

Good point. Even if you assume Ed Reed will get 7, and the defense tacks on 2 or 3 safeties (haha), that's still a LONG WAY from 38 points.

[grasshopper]

Tell me San Diego fans why an 8-8 team in the worst conference in the NFL should be my favorite?

Any game they win is a craps throw and you know it. If they win it all, I'll probably eat crow and wish I played the odds.

Any given Sunday

Indeed. I see the game being a huge defensive battle..considering the two defenses that will be playing.

Hey grasshopper, are you aware that San Diego lost?
