NFL Playoffs Week Three!!!!

gardenman — Fri, 16 Jan 2015 15:44:17 GMT

And we've got two good games this week. I really want to see a Colts/Packers Super Bowl, but I'm afraid that's not going to happen.

Our first game on Sunday is Green Bay at Seattle. Even with a healthy Aaron Rodgers the Packers would have a challenge beating the Seahawks in Seattle. With a banged up Aaron Rodgers their chances don't look good. I really, really want the Packers to win, but that Seattle defense is pretty nearly unstoppable. If Green Bay can negate the Seattle run game and make Russell Wilson beat them throwing the ball (and not running) then they have a shot. Containing Russell Wilson is a huge problem though. Clay Matthews will have to have the game of his life to win this game. He's got the speed to match up with Wilson, but in the middle linebacker spot he's a bit more limited in his ability to chase Wilson down. I'm picking Seattle to win, possibly easily, but I really want the Packers to win.

Next up Indy goes to New England. I think this is a better game to watch as these two teams match up pretty well. Andrew Luck is relatively healthy and has some decent weapons. Tom Brady makes the best of whatever he has. I expect this to be a bit of a shootout. I expect Coby Fleener for the Colts and Rob Gronkowski of the Patriots to be featured quite a bit. I wouldn't be shocked to see this game come down to the final possession and be decided on a last second field goal. I'm picking the Patriots, but I want the Colts to win.

It should be a good day of football.

Goooo Colts and Packers.

But, I think the Pats and Hawks will be in the SB. If that is the case...Goooo Seahawks.

I really want the Packers to win, but it is not going to be easy. Aaron's calf is definitely going to be a factor in this game.

I have more confidence than I did before. After seeing how well the Colts have played the past two weeks, I think that they can really beat New England. It needs a good game plan, and no mistakes or penalties by the Colts which give the Patriots a chance. After the trick play Belichick pulled against Baltimore, I think that Pagano and the other coaches will be prepared for anything. It might come down to whoever has the ball last. Would be nice if the game was decided on a winning field goal by Vinatieri. I'm not worrying about who they would face in the Superbowl just yet.

I want Green Bay to win, but think that Seattle will take the game. Maybe Seattle will be overconfident and not play as well. Not probable, but it could happen.

Going to be hard for me to watch the GB game knowing how winnable last week was for my boys, (and I am not referring to "that" one play). The disappointment runs deep, but no Woe Is Me. This playoff week 3 thread doesn't include my team, so I'll say

GOOD LUCK PACKERS, GOOD LUCK COLTS.

And the Bears have a new coach in John Fox. It'll be interesting to see how that affects Jay Cutler. I'm pretty sure those two spent some time together in Denver.

It's almost impossible to beat us in our own house

Trent Richardson didn't accompany the Colts to New England for "personal reasons". The team is not saying what those reasons are, only that they're not injury-related. Something is going on, and it's not good. We'll probably learn more after the game; right now the Colts are concentrating on Sunday. I kind of feel bad for Richardson because I was so excited when the Colts first got him from Cleveland. I expected that he would make a big difference. It hasn't worked out, so I can understand that the Colts have to do what's best for the team. It's just too bad that it happened this way. I don't expect Richardson to stay much longer with the Colts.

I'm ready for the game tomorrow. I Have to work, but get off at 2:30, so I'll be home in time to see both games. I have my Colts gear ready.

There, there sunshine. We'll be OK. Maybe we too can find some obscure rule to use. At least now the Colts know what to look for. That Belichek is very clever and sneaky.

I'd like to see Colts / Packers, but then who would I pick? I like them both.

Well my HEART says GO PACK GO, and GO COLTS!!!!!!

But what I think will actually happen is Seahawks and Pats advance....Rodgers was painful to watch against the Cowboys although he did appear to be a tad more mobile in the second half, and the Hawks D is playing fabulously right now---Rodgers can't get away with that calf injury and tear. Russell will keep the Hawk's offense moving and Clay Matthews will be the key to shutting them down.....

As for the Pats....they have always been a tad sneaky even before Beli came to coach them.....anyone remember the infamous snow plow game..... For those that don't heavy snowfall was in progress and the Pat's coach noticed a snow plow and cleared a path for his field goal kicker.....but with the Pat's way of thinking, well there was nothing in the NFL rule book about snow plows.... And so it goes....from Spygate to Non-Eligble players....they are SNEAKY!!!! One thing the Pats do that I like they always game plan and play to their player's strength instead of forcing players to play in a coaches system even though the players abilities don't fit.....The Colts have been playing well, especially the defense the last couple weeks and then there is Andrew Luck...what can one say....a talented player whose star continues to rise.....should be a good game, and might be closer than the "experts" predict......

Hey GARDENMAN and don't ya know that was probably one of the factors that got Fox the job the fact that Cutler with his contract isn't going anywhere and they probably wanted someone that could work with Cutler....at least Fox can help rebuild the Bear's defense....................
