NFL 2015 Divisional Games
- Thread starter Playoffs
- Start date
I'm looking forward to all of these games. The divisional round always tends to have some great match-ups.
First time the Cowboys have played at Green Bay for a playoff game since the infamous Ice Bowl in 1967.

I have confidence going into Foxboro and winning a close game.
It might come down to coaching decisions (i.e. pre-game planning and adjustments during the game).
I was shocked by the game a few weeks ago against the Texans. Romeo Crennel straight up out-coached Kubiak, something we have been on the receiving end when Kubiak was Texans HC. It was nice to finally be on the other side of that.
And I expect that kind of chess match mentality this week from Belichick.
Yep. Kubiak better study the Patriots or else he's going to have problems with their defense.
I'm hoping for a Patriots/Green Bay Super Bowl though, but if the Ravens win, then I'm rooting for them to win it all.

I cannot recall a year when four playoff games in one weekend were being played in outdoor stadiums located in the north.
And what luck that all four games are going to have decent weather with the exception of the cold!

I was hoping for at least one blizzard game.
Me, too! I love seeing football played in crappy weather. Reminds me of our youth and watching football in the '70's.

Not sure about Kub's getting outcoached....I blame that loss the Texans Defense just crushing the Ravens offense and rattling Flacco....
HOU-TEX
Ah, Football!
Key words "seeing" and "watching". lol
I despised playing in cold weather. That was even Texas' cold weather. I couldn't imagine playing in teen temps with will chills into the single digits.
As a defensive guy, I loved playing in the rain/mud.

Interesting. Wade Philips thinks cold and/or wet benefit the offensive lines over the defensive lines. Says D can't dig in, can't get off as quickly -- that anytime you can slow down the DL it gives OL an advantage.

Ah, Football!
Considering I was an undersized DE (6'5" 230), speed off the line was my biggest asset. I may've slowed a little in the mud, but not as much as the OT.
I reckon it might be a personal thing. I will say, along with injuries, my struggles stopping the run are the primary reasons I didn't last but one year. I just couldn't handle the strength and size of the OTs
I still love watching the trenches. My focus is there more than the ball while watching games

Whose the offensive coach of the Raven's again?
Not sure why you think that an Oline's poor performance allowing your QB to get rattled by getting hit consdtantly is a coaches fault?
Coaches coach, players play....I haven't seen any examples this year where Kub's was stubborn in his play calling....

I could see wet giving an advantage to the Offense but not cold....

I'm thinking Luck can pull it out too. However, Denver simply has a better overall team around Manning. That has me thinking Denver wins this one despite Luck looking like the better QB of the two right now.
Every game this week is a toss-up to me except for the Seattle/Carolina game. The one upset I'm rolling with: Dallas over GB. Dallas' offense can put up 30 points on just about anyone and with Rodgers dealing with an injury I think the Cowboys can pull off the upset.
didn't watch the icebowl?

Kubiak's predictable offense... smh.
5 plays & a touchdown to open the game.

Well that was classic Kubiak offense straight to the endzone.
Uh, oh..... looks like Reliant's turf got Steve Smith.
On that Tim Jernigan sack, you guys ever see any of our linemen punked that bad?
I know Myers was bulled by Jenkins... rag dolled. But that was a sweet move by Jernigan.

Great split screen of stretch v. boot with Flacco giving the boot away by turning his head away from the handoff. Everything else looked identical.

Damn I miss having TEs in our offense.

Not me. I detest Belicheat and New England more than I do the Cowboys.
And we're Texans dammit.
