NFL 2015 Wild Card Games

Somewhat O/T, but I love those New Era stripped sideline beanies with the pom. It wasn't until I looked high and low at several malls in four cities who were all sold out and discovered that they are going for $69 and up on Ebay. I never thought I would have to buy a used beanie like I would a car.
 
The Ravens got crushed by some team a couple of weeks ago. Forgot who that was. Are the Steelers that bad?
 
I am thinking Dallas and Indy will win today but after that the buck stops



Detroit hasn't won a playoff game since 1991 and it was against Dallas

I got Indy and Dallas today

I think both games are too close to call.

Dallas & Detroit are both playing pretty good football & both are pretty healthy. Last I heard, Suh won his appeal & will be playing. That's going to be a black & blue affair for sure.


Indy & Cincinnati..... I don't really like either team. They're both limping right now. But you never know what's going on with Indy & Luck, none of it makes sense. Same with the Bengals. It all depends on who shows up.
 
Colts' inactives today: OL Hugh Thornton, OL A.Q. Shipley, OL Xavier Nixon, CB Jalil Brown, CB Sheldon Price, DL Zach Kerr, LB Henoc Muamba

Bengals inactives: QB AJ McCarron (coach's decision), WR A.J. Green, (concussion), DB Chris Lewis-Harris (coach's decision), OL Tanner Hawkinson (coach's decision), DT Devon Still (coach's decision), TE Jermaine Gresham (back), WR James Wright (knee)

Well I'm in a bracket tournament so I have to pick someone :-)

Although Indy have holes all over their team I think luck and hilton out score anything Cincy can muster.

Dallas should be too strong for Detroit, but they have to have an hilarious collapse at some stage... Not yet though in my view. I think they'll win the divisional too and lose in the conf final. Hopefully under soul-destroying circumstances.
 
Going back to last nights Panthers game. When Kuechly was drafted I thought he was going to be just like Cushing. Yeah...Kuechly is a stud.
 
I cannot MAKE myself root for Indy

and as much as I dislike the Cowboys, I despise Suh even more
 
Why is it the Colts get away with so much blatant holding. Seriously, JJ isn't the only one they tackle. Is it some special way they hold that officials can't se. It's obvious on TV. Maybe we should hire thier OL Coach, it'd be worth any price for our QB to get an extra second or two every pass play. Hell HWSNBN would have looked like a pretty decent QB with that kind of "protection".

Why do the Colts play us like the 2nd coming of the '72 Dolphins. But when they play everyone else they look like trash.

They didn't look too good against us in Indy. The only reason they won that game was because we couldn't get any offense going with Fitzpatrick or Savage.
 
Bengals defense held for another field goal
23-10

Colts had a TD but illegal block in the back wiped it out
 
I don't understand the Bengals. They have made the playoffs four straight years, won three division titles, yet get destroyed in their playoff games. They have the team to compete but just don't show up when it really matters.

Marvin Lewis and his staff get out coached consistently in the playoffs, the team loses discipline at critical moments. And bad Andy rears his ugly head

Is this on coach Lewis?
 
I remember someone putting a thread on here about the parallels with Kubiak and Lewis in their coaching careers

Kubiak at least won in the playoffs.

Dalton is definitely the main problem. He's 14/26, 116 yards yards passing and it's probably his best game in the playoffs.

For me the only bright side is that I think the Colts have a better chance to beat the Patriots than the Bengals, and I hate the Patriots more than any other team on the planet.

The announcers said that it's going to be Indy at Denver next weekend.
