Re: NFL Playoffs Week Two!!!!

I'm hoping that the bye week is a negative factor for the Broncos, that Manning will be a bit rusty. If the Colts can get off to a good start, and if the o-line plays as well as they did last week, they have a chance to win.They cannot afford to make mistakes and give Manning any gifts. I'm also a bit concerned about Anderson; can they stop him? Getting pressure on Manning, and keeping the ball away from him would work.

The Baltimore-New England game should be good. The Ravens have enough talent to pull out a win.

The upset of the weekend would be Carolina beating Seattle. I don't see that happening.

I have no idea what to expect between Dallas and Green Bay. That game is a toss-up and could go either way.

I'm in the Green Bay TV market and every station is finding some way to tie this game to the original Ice Bowl. They'll find someone who was thirteen at the time and climbed over the fence to watch the game to interview. Although this week has been incredibly cold, it looks like it will warm up and be about twenty degrees for the game.

Re: NFL Playoffs Week Two!!!!

Brady looked a bit rusty in that first quarter while the Ravens came out smoking. Then Brady remembered he had Gronkowski in the second quarter and those two evened things up a bit. At this moment the Ravens are up by three, but I've got a feeling whoever has the ball last will win. This game has that kind of a feel to it. It's a good game to watch though.

Rooting for the Broncos or Colts next week. Would love to see the Broncos play the Pats next week.

Re: NFL Playoffs Week Two!!!!

That was an entertaining game! The Ravens came so close, but it wasn't to be. Flacco had a lot of time to throw the ball, but those interceptions really hurt them. Somehow the Patriots found a way to win. Never underestimate Brady; he has come back from deficits so many times. Baltimore played a great game, though! So, congrats to New England (it's hard for me to say that), and congrats to Baltimore for giving the Patriots all they could handle.

I don't think the Carolina-Seattle game will be as close.

Re: NFL Playoffs Week Two!!!!

What other player do you know who could go up to a ref, bump him with his helmet, scream in his face, and not get a penalty? Brady is a great player, but I have no respect for him at all as a person. Several weeks back, for two weeks straight, you could see him screaming the "f" word three times. From now on, any player should be allowed to go up to a ref and scream in his face and not be penalized. I was pulling for the Ravens. I don't really know who I want to win the game that is on now. I don't live that far from Charlotte, NC. Russell Wilson was a Wolfpack player and grad before he went to Wisconsin to finish his graduate degree. From watching both teams, I know that Russell will make fewer mistakes than Cam.

Re: NFL Playoffs Week Two!!!!

As a colt fan I am heartbroken. I know they probably won't beat Denver but the possibility of having the championship game at home was fun to think about.
