Wild Card Winner Week-End ?

[montrealer]

Jets,Pats,Eagles and Packers..............Jets-Bengals will be down to the wire.

[fredgmuggs]

Wild card weekend is generally the best football weekend of the NFL play-offs.

It's suppose to be cold this weekend. Throw another log on the fire and watch some football. Life is pretty good.

[eaganmafia]

Bengals, Cards, Dallas & Patriots.

Hey!........and your picks are?

[fredgmuggs]

Hey!........and your picks are?

OK - Bengals, Cowboys, Patriots, Cardinals

I don't know what the point spread is, so I'm just picking who wins without worrying about the point spread.

[fredgmuggs]

I'm also anticipating the Cardinal-Packer game will be the best one of the weekend.

[johnnyyankee]

Jets, Packers, Cowboys, Pats.

It will be a shootout. Last one with the ball wins.

[Maynerd]

Bengals - Packers - Patriots - Cowboys

[I hope I'm wrong about the Cowboys. I'd really like to see the Eagles embarass them.]

[RYMASTER or Ryan_Yankees]

Jets, Cardinals, Patriots, Cowboys (all close games).

[YanksFan1992]

Jets, Packers, Eagles and Patriots

[NYYRules#1]

Jets, Cowboys, Patriots, Cardinals.

(OK, so I'm a wee bit biased on the first one. But I did pick the Pats, whom I hate immeasurably!)

Should be a great weekend. All these games are so close that they could easily go either way. Jets-Bengals should be a real defensive show, and IMO, one of two things will decide that game - how much Sanchez's presence can be minimized by the Jets relying on the running game (I love Sanchez but he's still a rookie, as he's shown so often this season), and whether Revis et. al. completely succeed in shutting down Ochocinco and the rest of the Bengals' passing game. From watching this team all season, there's no doubt in my mind that the Jets running game and defense more than make up for the presence of a rookie QB still learning on the job though. (On that note, it's unrelated the this year's playoffs, but this will be a real powerful team once Sanchez gains some more experience and the passing game improves, IMO.)

I think both Romo and McNabb are overrated, but I'd take Romo over McNabb at this point, so that played a large part in me taking the Boys in that matchup. Plus, Dallas wasn't their normal horrific selves this December, which could bode good things for them.

I think the Pats can withstand the Welker injury against the Ravens (though I think they'll be promptly bounced in the divisional round - that injury is just way too big to expect them to win in spite of it against better teams than Baltimore), though that will be a lot closer than anyone would've thought before Welker went down. The Pats, overall, are a head-and-shoulders better team than the Ravens though, enough so that losing Welker still doesn't make Baltimore the better team.

The Cards-Packers matchup can really go either way. I really like the Cards this year, but that Packers defense is just insane, and there's no doubt in my mind that they can shut down the Cards' offense. But as long as Boldin can play, I think the Cards can take this one.

So I guess this is our game thread for this week?

Go Jets!

So to my fellow Giants fans, are you rooting for Philly, Dallas or neither? I'll be rooting for Philly (albeit only slightly), as it would be nice to see the Cowboys fail to win a playoff game yet again.

[YanksFan1992]

Here we go!

[BroadwayBomber55]

I say Jets, Patriots, Eagles and Packers.

[YanksFan1992]

Oh...

[NYYRules#1]

Yikes.

[Panamaniac42]

Gettin my picks in late: Bengals, Cowboys, Ravens, Packers

[dabomb2045]

I'll say Bengals, Eagles, Pats, Cards

Rooting for the Jets though. Eagles-Cowboys..two even teams and its VERY hard to beat a team like 3 times in one season.

I actually hope Dallas embarrasses Philly.

[YanksFan1992]

I guess Coles thinks he still plays for the Jets.

[dabomb2045]

Thats def a fumble....meanwhile NBC apparently wants to set a record for most commercials shown during an NFL game in history. Good grief.

They also want to set a record for most unbearable broadcast team. Hammond, Gibbs, and Theismann? Jesus. They should have gotten Pam Ward in there, too.

[YanksFan1992]

Snow + NFL Playoffs = Awesome.

[26 and counting]

Bengals, Cowboys, Patriots, Packers

I hear ya. Its bad enough I have to deal w/Hammond during Notre Dame games....ugh

[CptCrunch]

These announcers make me want to kill myself.

[b_joseph]

Not good..late read on the play.

[dabomb2045]

So far....the Jets cant stop Benson and their blitzes arent getting to Palmer.

[Mark19]

Gave up way too many yards on the KR and PR

[YanksFan1992]

That was dangerous.

[Panamaniac42]

I hear ya. Its bad enough I have to deal w/Hammond during Notre Dame games....ugh

Wow just realized loser Tiki is working the sidelines...when it rains it pours!

[dabomb2045]

Keller has to make that catch. Right in his chest.

[YanksFan1992]

He was in.

[dabomb2045]

Thats a catch...you could see the rubber stuff from the turf pop up when he dragged the 2nd foot

[YanksFan1992]

The Bengals are out of challenges. Rah roh.

[NYYRules#1]

Good job completely blowing your challenges, Cincy.

[dabomb2045]

Wow...Bengals have no more challenges the rest of the game. Could be huge.

[YanksFan1992]

The Jets receivers are killing them right now.

[NYYRules#1]

Damn Edwards. That's just inexcuable.

[CptCrunch]

Wow, have to make that catch.

[dabomb2045]

Thats two huge drops already for the Jets....Keller now Edwards

[b_joseph]

Good punt instead...

Get some good field position here, defense.

[CptCrunch]

Pretty damn good punt by Feely.

[b_joseph]

Good D...Great response after a quality punt from Feely.

[dabomb2045]

Gotta take advantage of good field position here

[YanksFan1992]

Greene!!!!!!!!!!

[b_joseph]

Great play...fake out the defense and go the other way.

All set up by the defense standing firm.

[frostdude1]

Niiiiiiiice TD

[CptCrunch]

Greene for the TD! Untouched for 40 yards.
