2015 NFL Playoffs

Aaron Rodgers you have been discount double checked! Enjoy the offseason.

That was a crazy game yesterday. By far the worst I've seen the Seahawks offense and Russell Wilson look for 3.5 quarters of football. Put their defense in horrible position the whole first half with turnovers. Could have easily been 30-0 at halftime, but the defense had some big stops.

Despite that shitty play Russell Wilson still nutted up and made the plays in the end to win and send Aaron Rodgers and Green Bay into the offseason.

Jesus, that second game was a let down.

Pats versus Seahawks. It will be nice to be the underdog again as the media slobbers all over Brady for the next two weeks.

Seattle was installed as 2.5 point favorites for what it's worth, though I expect it to end up basically even. Granted, that's not forecasting the winner of the game.

I think Seattle will end up favored by most pundits to be honest.

I'm taking Seattle... The bad game is an aberration, not the norm for Wilson. Seattle, as bad as they may have looked, has 2 weeks to make the corrections. Not worried about Seattle based off yesterday's game at all, personally.

I think Pats destroy Seahawks. They went up against a weak Packers team with a banged up Aaron Rodgers and barely scraped by... at home with their "twelfth man". Sure it was an off game for them, but the Pats have really turned it on lately. They are not the Packers or last year's Broncos.

I love it, fuck Seattle.

Lol! Seattle got the last laugh.

Knew the Seahawks would win when Green Bay got that interception with 5 minutes to go and instead of returning it at least 30 yards and maybe for a touchdown (all that was in front of him was the oline and Wilson), the corner decided to fall on the ball like Marlon Jackson in the 2006 AFC title game. Way too much time left.

All yesterday showed was how hurt Peyton had to be last week. Teams with above average quarterbacks destroyed the Colts all year. Be interesting to see what comes of the deflating the football thing. If they did, I think you have to suspend Bellicheck for a few games next year because at this point, given the history, nothing will deter him from trying this stuff

Royals · Post by **Royals** » Mon Jan 19, 2015 9:36 pm

To paraphrase Boomer Esiason, Colts fans are just butthurt they got their asses handed to them. The ball deflation reports are a non-issue.
Still waiting on the suspensions and fines for the Colts piping noise into the RCA dome...

Royals · Post by **Royals** » Mon Jan 19, 2015 9:44 pm

The Superbowl should make for a great game this year. I don't expect Wilson to implode again, but if there's a coach and team capable of making it happen, it's BB and the Pats. New England is a better team in every phase of the game than the Packers team that Seattle faced on Sunday. At home. Not to mention they'll be facing arguably the best NFL coach of all time instead of Mike McCarthy... Yeesh. Aaron Rodgers and GB Packers fans really deserve a better coach than McCarthy.

Astros · Post by **Astros** » Mon Jan 19, 2015 10:09 pm

I never once said it had an impact on the game, but breaking the rules is breaking the rules. Yep, we totally piped noise into the RCA Dome. We kept doing it at Lucas Oil too. Then we just hit the mute button when we're on offense

Royals · Post by **Royals** » Mon Jan 19, 2015 10:43 pm

So that sly Bill Belichick, he expected the officials, who handle every ball before it goes into play, to not notice? Riiiight...

This is just more Colts butthurt. And really, what it all comes down to is that you think Brady and Belichick stood in the way of you guys getting some titles. That the Patriots dynasty could have been you.
Well, you're almost right, the Pats did stand in your way, but no underinflated balls, absurd spying scandal or any other such nonsense contributed. Even if any of that had resulted in the Pats winning even one game more (which no rational person believes) you're forgetting the #1 hurdle. That hurdle is the losingest QB in playoff history. A guy who again and again proved he not only didn't have what it takes, but that he was going to selfishly grab every last buck and hamper his organization from bringing in the necessary tools to actually win. The guy who somehow (perhaps some deal with Satan, or at least ESPN) maintained a squeaky clean 'image' while insulting and blaming his teammates for losses, committing sexual assault, defying a gag order regarding that case, and slandering and ruining the victim's professional career. The guy who had the first three of nine career one and done's before he even faced the Patriots in the playoffs... The redoubtable Peyton Manning!
Yup, the Pats shoved in Manning's stupid face twice in the playoffs (yup, only twice) which means some other team had that pleasure eleven times. From crappy Jets teams to top of the line Seahawks team. The Patriots weren't your problem Colts fans... Your quarterback was. Manning got the shit kicked out of him 13 glorious times for one simple reason. He's a walking, talking, phoney-ass choke-job of a QB.

I am not a Pats fan but had to share this update:

The NFL has confirmed investigation into alleged “rain augmentation” in Patriots-Colts game. NFL spokesman Michael Signora confirms the NFL is looking into whether additional water was somehow pumped into the stadium to create “deluge conditions” during the game.

The report states that an unnamed person complained to an NFL official that “it was raining a lot harder on our side of the field than the Patriots side”. The complaint was received at the conclusion of the third quarter of Sunday night’s AFC Championship game. A review of the tapes at NFL headquarters in New York on Monday morning show what appears to be significant rain on the Colts offense and defense units during the 3rd quarter and in some instances following just the Colts ball carrier. Those same tapes show little to no rain on the Patriots side of the ball during the 21 point beatdown of the Colts that effectively ended their season.

The NFL is consulting with meteorologists, plumbers and the Vatican to determine the validity of the Colts claims of “rain augmentation” or possible “weather control”. The NFL rule book states “a team found guilty of shenanigans during a game will lose all benches, toilet paper and eyeblack for the remaining games in the current NFL season.” A spokesman for the Patriots denied any and all accusations and stated the Patriots will cooperate fully with any NFL investigation.

Way to ignore the actual thing we're talking about dipshit. Do you know what deflated balls allow for? A better grip. Since teams supply their own balls, that means that IF IT HAPPENED, the Pats were operating at an advantage, an advantage that is unfair and against the rules. The NFL conveniently destroyed all the Spygate tapes. Wonder why? Goodell is such a fine, upstanding guy, surely he wasn't trying to hide anything. I find it hilarious that you're holier than thou when it comes to PED use in baseball, yet you'll certainly overlook your favorite team getting caught cheating in the NFL and dismiss that as not a big deal. Then again you had no problems with the 3 World Series that David Ortiz juiced to win either so why should I be shocked?

Brady and Manning are 2-2 against one another in the playoffs. Guess what? Tom Brady lost to Mark Sanchez one week after Peyton did and had a far worse game than Peyton did. Guess what? Brady is around a .500 quarterback in the playoffs after Spygate. Guess what? From 2007-2012, Peyton's defense blew a 4th quarter lead in every playoff game he lost (a special teams tackle against the Jets in 2010 wins it but Cromarte returns it to midfield, Raheem Moore not being an idiot in 2012, there's 2 games right there that were lost in the waning seconds that should never have been lost). When in the world did Peyton commit sexual assualt? Are you referring to, when he was a 20 year old college kid, putting his butt in a woman's face in the trainer's room as a poor practical joke? Did you know that your quarterback, the ever so great Tom Brady, had bodyguards SHOOT at photographers at his wedding?

Look at playoff stats Bren. Actually look at them. Don't just talk out of your ass like you do with everything else in your life. You realize that football is a TEAM GAME right? It isn't all RINGZ and QB WINZ. Speaking of chokers, I have a DVD of the 2006 AFC championship game. I believe Peyton Manning was losing that game by 18 points and came back and beat Tom Brady. Seem to remember that choker blew an 18 point lead throwing a game ending interception when he had a chance to drive down and win the game. Man he's such a piece of shit. He must really suck, you have to to blow an 18 point lead in the playoffs, then to choke like he does on all those dicks he has in his mouth all the time and throw an interception to seal the game for the Colts. See, I can argue like an ass clown too

You mean Deflategate? Where the Pats give all the balls to the officials at the start of the game for inspection and then they remain in the custody of the officials and are checked by the officials before they're put in play? I gave it one sentence, which is one sentence more than the subject deserves. I know your boys got their asses kicked in epic fashion, but you really need to get over being so butthurt.

Sitting on a female trainer's face, balls and all, isn't a practical joke. Do you have a sister? Girlfriend? How about I drop trow and rub my ass and sack on her face. We'll have ourselves a good old laugh afterwards right? It's sexual assault. How about his slander in his book? More boyhood antics? Defying the court gag order on the case? That's a great prank right? Manning is an entitled d-bag who has had the NCAA, NFL and ESPN covering for him because of who he is and who his father was. A couple of thicknecked no-brained bodyguards shot at photographers who were trespassing at Tom and Gisele's wedding? If it had been Manning's wedding you'd be saying what a shame it was that they missed.

Congratulations, you figured out that Football is a team game. Maybe you can tell your buddy Peyday that the next time you're salivating over his balls. If he wasn't so busy grabbing every last buck on the table he might have realized that and his team might have been able to afford a decent defense. But Peyday isn't a team guy, he's all about himself. He collapses in the playoffs and there isn't enough of a team around him to pick up the pieces when he does. How was Manning's performance in those fourth quarters you're whingeing about? How'd Manning do in that Superbowl last year? Choke!

As for Spygate... To quote Coach Cowher on the subject, "Get over it." It was only a big deal because everyone hated the Pats and the media got their teeth into it (something the NFL would never let happen with their golden boy Peyton Manning). Like the steroid issue, it wasn't just one team that was doing it, there was only one team that got caught and the weasel himself never thought it would turn into such a big deal because it wasn't a big deal. Unlike steroids, no rational individual believed it made a difference. The Pats winning% went UP after Spygate and they could easily be on their way to their fifth or sixth NFL title right now. They are without question the best team of the last 15 years and Tom Brady is the beat quarterback of that era, I'll let history debate whether he ends up being the best ever. You're just butthurt you got saddled with this generation's Dan Marino.

Bren, your advertisement point is shot to hell. Brady was a spokesmodel for Uggs and the worst smelling cologne of all time. I'd rather rub a piece of Papa John's on my face than wear Stetson cologne.

I have zero clue why there has to be a winner in the Brady/Manning argument. Manning is the best regular season QB of all time, has some of the best post-season stats of all time, and has a Super Bowl. People seem to conveniently forget that. Brady has the rings, and, for the most part, has statistically only been a step behind from a regular season perspective. They have both done there fair share of damage off the field.

You can model an argument for either of these guys without being wrong. Obviously you each have ties to one of them, which blurs your judgment. As a fan of the brother of one of them, and a fan of the person who beat one in their last two head-to-head Super Bowls, I feel confident saying that Eli Manning is the best of the 3.

More following through on how terrible Stetson smells.

Either way, once your guy models Uggs and Stetson, you have no say in calling someone else a me-first money-whore.

Ho boy... You really missed the boat here Z.

I didn't say anything about advertising, I'm talking straight up salary. Cap money that Peyday took to become the highest paid player of all time that inhibited the Colts' ability to retain or acquire better players around him (like maybe on defense). Brady on the other hand has on several occasions reworked his contract so that the Team could bring in better players so they could win, because Brady puts winning first, while Manning puts himself first.

Cologne is nasty, but I'd rather wear cologne than eat that shit from Papa John's.

I feel confident saying that Eli Manning is the best of the 3.

All I'll say to that is I know you're a salesman, but stay away from the coke dude...
