Divisional Playoff Football

[TLK]

Hoping for a repeat of last Saturday..... NY Jets vs. Pittsburgh up first. I think St. Louis and Atlanta will be the game of the day though...

[vtbub]

Jets and Falcons today

[kingfc22]

Steelers by 4 and Rams by 10.

[Joe]

whats the over/under on how long before Chrebet gets another concussion?

[FBPro]

Steelers/Falcons

[TLK]

neither opening drive was impressive...

[Joe]

man penning10 sucks

[JAG]

For those who have watched the Jets this year, how has Gowin been? He was just terrible last year with Dallas.

[henry296]

Get on the Bus!!!

[korme]

man penning10 sucks
he's like 31/0 in the red zone. lick his nipples.

[JAG]

Moss punt return for a TD to likely tie the game. Awesome return.

[Joe]

amazing return

[Desnudo]

Some pretty weak play calling by Jets at the end of the half.

[Joe]

yeah.. shouldnt Herm Edwards be playing... to win... the game?

[JAG]

From what I gather from Herm Edwards, reading into his comments at the half, the Jets are gonna fight.

[henry296]

The Steelers always give up big special team plays in the playoffs. This is killing me.

Argh!!!!

[JAG]

So how drunk is cthomer right now?

[JAG]

Holy cow.

[kingfc22]

The rookie finally shows up in the playoffs.

[JAG]

Sorry, for those not watching from home, Reggie Tongue just returned an INT 80 or so yards for a TD.

[Sharpieman]

Big Bens mistake

[Desnudo]

From what I gather from Herm Edwards, reading into his comments at the half, the Jets are gonna fight.

The Jets are gonna fight?

[TroyF]

oopsy. . . Man, the Pats and Colts have to be licking their chops after watching this game. I think either of them beats the two teams I'm seeing on the field right now. The AFC championship will be played tomorrow.

[TroyF]

Big Bens mistake


After watching the replay, I'm not so sure. He threw the ball as though the WR would cut underneath. Instead the WR ran deep. Not sure who is to blame on that one. Mis-communication was costly no matter who it was.

We'll see what the Steelers are made of now.

[Young Drachma]

J-E-T-S....Well, I'm not getting my hopes up. They're the Jets, after all.

But hey, at least it's not the blowout everyone was predicting.

Bastards.

that was a favre-like throw.

[robbgmaier]

um......HERE WE GO STEELERS, HERE WE GO!!!

my name is <deleted> and I approve this message.

[Easy Mac]

wow that 14/15 year old girl from Pittsburgh was kinda cute... she would be one of those "I thought she was 18" girls.

[JAG]

Another Pittsburgh turnover...

[robbgmaier]

time to die i guess

[Easy Mac]

The Steelers are imploding like 3 Rivers.

[robbgmaier]

stupid punt pass and kick awards

[robbgmaier]

I can't believe our defense has only given up 3 points and we're losing

[cthomer5000]

So how drunk is cthomer right now?
lovin life right now.

[JAG]

Steelers offense has racked up yards this half.

[G-Man]

Though the game is tied the Steelers are manhandling the Jets....

[robbgmaier]

i'm beginning to believe again....i hope that doesn't jinx it

[QuikSand]

I thought.. well, still think... that the Steelers are the type of team who are vulnerable to a game like this (where the other team gets a couple of breaks and gets ahead). So far, the Steelers are showing some impressive resolve. Nice drive, no panic. Good sign.

Good game thus far.

[cthomer5000]

Though the game is tied the Steelers are manhandling the Jets....
I agree (although the Jets are looking great on this drive right now).

I knew the Jets would need at least 1 'cheap' touchdown to win this game. 2 was more than I could have hoped for.

[cthomer5000]

oh god, here we go....

[Easy Mac]

whoops

[Yossarian]

denied....

[Chubby]

DOINK

[spleen1015]

The Steelers always give up big special team plays in the playoffs. This is killing me.

Argh!!!!

I'll never forget that Troy Brown punt return for a TD 3 years ago in the playoffs aginst the Steelers. He went 50 yards or so and never ran outside of the hash marks.

[robbgmaier]

that didn't suck.

I wonder if my being down on my knees in front of the television with goats blood running down my back had any effect on the field goal.

[Yossarian]

I wonder if my being down on my knees in front of the television with goats blood running down my back had any effect on the field goal.


Girlfriend's time of the month again?

[robbgmaier]

that was harsh. good. but harsh.

[Chubby]

PICKED OFF!

[spleen1015]

Holy crap!

[timmynausea]

uh-oh

[cthomer5000]

YES!

[robbgmaier]

YES!!!! we tackled him this time........sigh

[Easy Mac]

It happened, he choked!!

[Eaglesfan27]

Big Ben cracks.

[Cringer]

wowsers. Jets gong to pull this off maybe? I just hate to see everyone blame the rookie QB, but I guess he has earned it....

[robbgmaier]

at least his regular season win streak is still intact.......FUCK!!

[Chubby]

1st down for the jets, time to run out the clock...

[JAG]

Nice call by the Jets...this field goal attempt (if it comes about) will be a lot easier for Doug Brien.

[robbgmaier]

I love overtime games, don't all of you?

[spleen1015]

Come on Doug!

[G-Man]

Say good night Pittsburgh!

[Easy Mac]

40 yarder coming up.

[Suicane75]

Horrid clock managment and play calling. I see what people are saying Herm.
If the Jets lose this game, Herm is gonna get killed by the NY Media.

[Yossarian]

If Doug Brian misses the kick....

[Young Drachma]

I can't take the pressure.

[cthomer5000]

not a fan of settling for a 40 yard attempt....

here we go again... *crosses fingers*

[Suicane75]

WTF

[spleen1015]

What the hell are they doing?

[Easy Mac]

lets lose 2 yards?

[TLK]

I wouldn't want to be Doug Brien right now....

[Cringer]

Great game. I like both of these teams and hate to see one lose. I have been leaning towards the Jets most the game with my heart, but my head tells me that I would prefer Pitt to win because I don't think the Jets can get past Indy or New England.

Great game to watch though.

[spleen1015]

He's gonna miss this sucker. Bloody hell.

[Easy Mac]

ice ice baby... da da da da da da da da

[Suicane75]

Theres a part of me hoping they miss, just on principal.

[Easy Mac]

now lets play some queen... under pressure... da da d a da da da da

[Calis]

Love to see a miss here..just can't imagine it happening.

C'mon!

[Suicane75]

HA

[Easy Mac]

shank!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Cringer]

OT here we come.....cool.

[JAG]

Good Lord, what a shank.

[TLK]

damn.... just damn

[Calis]

YESSSS!!!!!

[Chubby]

hehehehehehehe

[cthomer5000]

of course.

[timmynausea]

Sweet Jesus.

[robbgmaier]

Football is about as dumb a game as backgammon.

[Suicane75]

Herm Edwards should be fired.........not after the season......right now.

[Yossarian]

OWCH!

[G-Man]

I guess the party isn't over just yet....

[Young Drachma]

Yeah, with the game on the line..I wouldn't want Doug Brien kicking for me, either. I figured he'd miss it. I think if they lose, oh well. At least we have a scapegoat.

After all, Pittsburgh was supposed to WIN this game. Not go to overtime. So...eh, it's all good.

[ScottVib]

2 misses in under 2 Minutes... ouch.

[Eaglesfan27]

YES!!!! Big Ben gets a second chance! :)

[Vince]

Are you kidding me? That was terrible.

[Easy Mac]

wow... we may see an NFL murder not involving Rae Carruth or Ray Lewis.


R.I.P. Doug Brien... 5 bucks says hes under the Meadowlands by next week.

[Cringer]

My wife is calling for Brien's job! HAHA! Sitting here calling him a chump and saying this is his last year........

[Yossarian]

man alive

[Calis]

That was just horrible, not even close.

C'mon Ben...get it together.

I can't help but root for the Steelers and Ben.

[robbgmaier]

More good news, we are on defense first, giving us our best chance to score I think.

[FBPro]

What a goat.....

[Young Drachma]

Herm Edwards should be fired.........not after the season......right now.

Uh, is that crack good? None for me thanks.

[Cringer]

I'm gonna start a thread for my wife's quotes I think, she is on a roll here.....

"And this is why no one likes the kicker...."

And why is this their third overtime game? Because of Doug!"

[Easy Mac]

I wonder if they'll settle for a FG now?

[robbgmaier]

yes, pittsburgh will settle for a Jeff Reed FG.

[Suicane75]

Uh, is that crack good? None for me thanks.

That was as horrid a stretch of late game playcalling as you will see, ever, in the NFL.

[Maple Leafs]

The last two Jets playoff games have vindicated the FOF end-game/overtime AI of continually trying to score a TD rather than settling for a long FG.

[Suicane75]

I'm gonna start a thread for my wife's quotes I think, she is on a roll here.....

"And this is why no one likes the kicker...."

And why is this their third overtime game? Because of Doug!"

Perhaps pics pls kthnx. With captions?

[Eaglesfan27]

Come on defense..

[Easy Mac]

challenge that spot

[Suicane75]

How the fuck does that dude know where Mcarins was?

This is hillarious.

[Joe]

horrible for pitt fans

[Joe]

review coming

[Joe]

man no fucking way is that a first down

[robbgmaier]

i don't think the spot was bad enough to change....

[Eaglesfan27]

Since the evidence has to be conclusive, I don't see it being overturned from any of the angles we are seeing.

[Young Drachma]

Me either. But that's what they get for them being at home, I guess. Doesn't matter. Pennington and the offense is doing their thing. I'm not hopeful, but I'm glad they're at least in the game...and we're still talking Jets football, even for a few more minutes this late in the season.

[Chubby]

spot upheld

[Joe]

i stand corrected

[Suicane75]

Couldnt they afford to put a camera in the yardmarker so you could see it from the exact angle?

[Sharpieman]

horrible call

[Easy Mac]

no, that was holding

[robbgmaier]

I think the ref would have looked pretty stupid ruling that the spot was a foot to generous for the jets....which is probably what it was.

[korme]

Jeez, fuckin' come on Jets. My hatred for the Steelers is not happy with the end of regulation as you guys couldn't finish.

I really just got out of bed to post this.

Is Doug Brien the biggest loser of all-time?

[Joe]

nice straight arm

[korme]

nice stiffarm by Martin

[Joe]

Jeez, fuckin' come on Jets. My hatred for the Steelers is not happy with the end of regulation as you guys couldn't finish.

I really just got out of bed to post this.

Is Doug Brien the biggest loser of all-time?


He's giving Scott Norwood a run for his money.

[TargetPractice6]

Jeez, fuckin' come on Jets. My hatred for the Steelers is not happy with the end of regulation as you guys couldn't finish.

I really just got out of bed to post this.

Is Doug Brien the biggest loser of all-time?What he said.

[Sharpieman]

I was talking about the review

[Eaglesfan27]

Should have been intercepted.

[Suicane75]

Jeez, fuckin' come on Jets. My hatred for the Steelers is not happy with the end of regulation as you guys couldn't finish.

I really just got out of bed to post this.

Is Doug Brien the biggest loser of all-time?

At least he's not in bed at 8pm on a Saturday night.
:D

[robbgmaier]

please, please, please, let's have a stop.

[korme]

26 turn around..

Ok, thankyou

Nice catch Townsend! Way to blow an easy pick! Stupid Steeler!

/heckle

[Young Drachma]

Seriously, they're really running out of lives. They need to stop messing with my emotions.

[Sharpieman]

That was a pretty hard play to make by Townsend

[korme]

At least he's not in bed at 8pm on a Saturday night.
:D
haha dude it's either watch in a hard wooden chair or a somewhat soft bed... it's a tough situation.

i'll be out soon enough. http://dynamic2.gamespy.com/%7Efof/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif

[cthomer5000]

I love the 2 yard pass routes on 3rd and 10.

[Suicane75]

Is that ref blind not to see that block in the back?

[Young Drachma]

I love the 2 yard pass routes on 3rd and 10.

Point well taken.

[TargetPractice6]

Did anybody else see a block in the back there?

[robbgmaier]

Randle El really pisses me off, or is it the special teams coach, that hasn't gotten him to stop trying to return every punt for a touch down. that should have been a touch back. damnit

[Joe]

penning10 still sucks

[Cringer]

At least he's not in bed at 8pm on a Saturday night.
:D

Well, if you are in bed with someone then thats ok....let me clarify that, someone should = female.

[JAG]

I love the 2 yard pass routes on 3rd and 10.

Thank you. WTF was that?

[Joe]

nice pass berger boy

[Suicane75]

Well, if you are in bed with someone then thats ok....let me clarify that, someone should = female.

Great, now i'm thinkin of your wife and Farrah in bed together. Thanks alot. :rolleyes:

[robbgmaier]

I think Ben needs to change his depends, he looks scared now.

[robbgmaier]

I take it all back. Ben is god.

[Eaglesfan27]

Nice play by Ben!

[Suicane75]

Thank you. WTF was that?

That was Herm.

[Young Drachma]

$18,000? Did they hear what Randy said about $10,000?

Anyway....I'd say they'll get in range and go ahead and end this misery. I dunno what I'd rather see, the Jets win barely and get to the AFC title game only to lose or to end it here.

Either way, Doug Brien should be released. Not before the end of the game, but now.

[robbgmaier]

time for that stupid double fake spin around screen

[Easy Mac]

I like how every pass of 7 yards is FIRED in there.

[robbgmaier]

or a nice draw.....Bettis now please?

[Joe]

J-E-T-S! Suck! Suck! Suck!

[Suicane75]

Jets are done

[G-Man]

Steelers are grinding them to paste, the party is over....JETS!!

[robbgmaier]

I'm starting to become un flacid.

[Sharpieman]

This game is OVER

[Easy Mac]

SETTLE FOR A FG!

[TargetPractice6]

I bet the Jets wish Brien could kick this one.

[Easy Mac]

They're not BOOING, they're DUCING!

[Young Drachma]

You all talk like the Steelers dominated. Pittsburgh better send Doug Brien a playoff share.

I mean, seriously.

[Cringer]

Great, now i'm thinkin of your wife and Farrah in bed together. Thanks alot. :rolleyes:

haha

would it help if I told you she is rubbing me with her feet right now?

Hey now, back to the game. Looks like Steelers win. Congrats. Jets fans should take pride in one hell of a game though.

[Joe]

its ovah

[Eaglesfan27]

Great sneak by Ben!

[Suicane75]

haha

would it help if I told you she is rubbing me with her feet right now?



How the hell would that help ME?

[Joe]

first rookie to win a playoff game since the amazing Shaun King!

[General Mike]

The Jets are the Rutgers of pro football.

[Suicane75]

I want him to miss, just so Brien can miss again.

[G-Man]

And the Steelers keep the home field advantage....20-17!!!!

[Easy Mac]

game

[Eaglesfan27]

That kick scared me.

[cthomer5000]

Doug Brien had better just find a way out of the stadium, forget heading back to the locker room.

[JAG]

Good game.

[Suicane75]

Believe this, the NY Media is gonna destroy Herm Edwards this week.

[Easy Mac]

ok, lets watch FOX now.

[sovereignstar]

NO!

[Suicane75]

ok, lets watch FOX now.

Put on NBC, Lilly Munster is singing John Lennon.

[Cringer]

Doug Brien had better just find a way out of the stadium, forget heading back to the locker room.

I think he is safe with the Pittburgh fans. I think the flight home is one he should avoid, maybe slp into NY on a later flight.

[TargetPractice6]

One of the Fox guys just said the Rams were the greatest show on turf...

Wouldn't that title have gone to Indy by now?

[TargetPractice6]

Put on NBC, Lilly Munster is singing John Lennon.Do we have a barfing emoticon?

[Buccaneer]

Hadn't seen much Big Ben this season but from what I've seen in the 4th Q and OT, can he hit any receiver beyond 5 yards???

[Easy Mac]

Put on NBC, Lilly Munster is singing John Lennon.
I have no idea what that sentence is about.

[cthomer5000]

Believe this, the NY Media is gonna destroy Herm Edwards this week.
I really don't think he's the most obvious target here.

[TargetPractice6]

I have no idea what that sentence is about.Madonna was 'singing' Imagine.

[JAG]

Hadn't seen much Big Ben this season but from what I've seen in the 4th Q and OT, can he hit any receiver beyond 5 yards???

You missed quite a bit this season.

[temley06]

Brien better get some lube, cause the NY media is going to use it.

[Suicane75]

I really don't think he's the most obvious target here.

The way his clock and late game management has already been picked apart, I think it will. Brien is not a good kicker, the fact that he missed probably didn't shock alot of people.

[henry296]

I'm a huge Steelers fan. They were very very lucky. You shouldn't have a 4 TOs and a punt return for a TD which is like a turnover and win. Cowher said it, they need to play a lot better or else they will be blown out by either the Colts or Pats.

Now on a positive note.. The Defense played very well only 3 points given up by the D and very few big plays. The series of the game was holding the Jets to a 3 and out after the Bettis fumble.

The offensive line was solid but I think helped by a tired defensive line. I think they had a 2:1 Time of Possession in the second half and overtime.

Todd

[ctmason]

I remain convinced that Dick Stockton has actually been dead for the better part of the past five years, but some strange new form of chemistry re-animates him on the weekends.

Man is that one ugly dude.

[Easy Mac]

Tony Siragusa! He's fat, dumb, and obnoxious. That means America has to love him :rolleyes:

[Scoobz0202]

" That was me breathing " * Insert gurgling laugh here *

[temley06]

They said Siragusa is an end zone reporter, maybe that is because he is too fat to walk the sidelines.

[Eaglesfan27]

What a play by Vick! I'm smelling a blowout.

[General Mike]

Nice play indeed.

[Eaglesfan27]

Touchdown Vick to Crumpler!

[TLK]

well, that was an impressive drive....

[temley06]

That was a great drive

[Easy Mac]

Was that Archuletta on Crumpler? Crumpler's like 3 times his size.

[Easy Mac]

I was disgusted by that Joe Buck commercial

[temley06]

Faulk is running like it's '99. Wow

[temley06]

I was disgusted by that Joe Buck commercial

It's a shame that was caught by the FOX cameras

[Easy Mac]

Tied up

[Eaglesfan27]

Wow.. Impressive play to end an impressive drive.

[General Mike]

nice catch by Curtis

[Cringer]

What's with the knocks on Siragusa? The guy is great and is welcome over to my house anytime......

Of course judging by the jobs thread, I am one of the lower class here and damn proud of it. :D

[JAG]

TD Rams. Hope the guy at the scoreboard has been well-rested.

[Ksyrup]

After the first game, I'm gettnig whiplash from the lack of D in this one. Maybe they should have ignored the AFC/NFC matchups and had these teams play the Jets and Steelers.

[Easy Mac]

TD Rams. Hope the guy at the scoreboard has been well-rested.
well, its been 3 weeks since a home game, I think they'll be ok.

[temley06]

That is the reason they are DBs

[VPI97]

DUNN!!!

[General Mike]

TD Falcons. This is rediculous.

[Eaglesfan27]

This is going to be fun :)

[JonInMiddleGA]

I called 49-48 to my wife after the first Falcons TD ... looks good so far.

[temley06]

Nice run, although it looked like a defender got pushed in the back on the replay. Although it is nice that they let the boys play.

[Easy Mac]

horrible defense this game. Vick should have been picked off twice that drive.

[Joe]

butler is horrible

[Joe]

ooh, Paul McCartney is performing at the superbowl. I really hope we dont see Nipplegate II.

[Ragone]

God, whats the over under on the number of times they show that stupid "yards saved because he's micheal vick" graphic..

Where is the # of times vick gets himself hurt running around graphic.. Or # of times vick gets lucky graphic

[Desnudo]

What's with the knocks on Siragusa? The guy is great and is welcome over to my house anytime......

Of course judging by the jobs thread, I am one of the lower class here and damn proud of it. :D

How droll.

[Joe]

the goose is dead sexy

[Dutch]

I was glad to see Warrick Dunn do some good today already. Keep it up, Falcons....beat those Rams!!!!

[Eaglesfan27]

Vick is so exciting. Nice little run there.

[Dutch]

I don't think the Rams have an answer for the Vick and Dunn show.

KEEP IT UP!!!

[temley06]

What the hell is Johnston talking about, that was completely nonsensicle

[General Mike]

Dunn :mad:

[temley06]

McCreary is having a great game.

[Cringer]

How droll.

you know, I have never figured out if that word more for an insult or not. oh well, we can still be best buds.
;)

[Easy Mac]

you're still losing "Big Game"

[Eaglesfan27]

That was a nice pass to Holt for the TD.

[vtbub]

Glad to see Tony Siragusa's American Idol tryout.

[Eaglesfan27]

The ground caused that fumble!

[Eaglesfan27]

Darn. I forgot the ground fumble rule only applies if he is tackled.

[Easy Mac]

Falcons need new shoes.

And you're down 7 and you can run at least 1 play before the 2 minute warning... why are you running Martz? You love to pass except when you should... fucking retard.

[Buccaneer]

This could be shaping up to my worst nightmare: an Atlanta/Minnesota championship.

[Easy Mac]

Horrible playcalling by Martz... he's completely squandered a chance. You're a passing team who would seem to excel with 2 minutes left because you're good at throwing... and you call 2 horrible runs.

[Easy Mac]

Fire Mike Martz now... just in the middle of the game.

[Chubby]

return TD for the Vicks

[Easy Mac]

The Falcon's special teams coach looks like Clint Howard.

[Joe]

rossum is awesome

[Eaglesfan27]

This could be shaping up to my worst nightmare: an Atlanta/Minnesota championship.
No, it will be an Atlanta/Philly Championship.

[Easy Mac]

Do the Falcons have 2 timeouts left? Tehy could get the ball back

[Joe]

This could be shaping up to my worst nightmare: an Atlanta/Minnesota championship.

thats better than a Martz-Tice worst coach ever showdown

[Easy Mac]

I dunno, we did have a schotty-edwards and martz-holmgren and sherman-tice last week.

[Cringer]

rossum is awesome

Yeah, brings back nice memories of his Packer days.

[Easy Mac]

Rams are (officially) done if Bulger's hurt.

[Eaglesfan27]

That doesn't look good for Bulger or the Rams..

[Easy Mac]

nice kick.

28-17.

[Buccaneer]

It's a good thing I held off on putting money on the Rams (as the NFC Championship) until I got back and checked that they were near the bottom in Rushing Defense. Now I wonder why I was hearing several "experts" all week tooting about the Rams?

[TroyF]

No, it will be an Atlanta/Philly Championship.

That's his second worst nightmare. McNabb without Owens, so he runs some more? And Vick running as usual?

Bucc would just as soon propel himself down a slide of razor blades into a vat salt and rubbing alcohol then watch either game.

Me? I like watching Vick. I like watching Culpepper. I like watching McNabb. Doesn't matter to me what the game is. I think the game of the playoffs is tomorrow. I believe the winner of the Indy/NE game will win two more games and hold up the trophy in a few weeks.

[mckerney]

Jeez, fuckin' come on Jets. My hatred for the Steelers is not happy with the end of regulation as you guys couldn't finish.

I really just got out of bed to post this.

Is Doug Brien the biggest loser of all-time?

Yes. He's missed 2 XPs in a game his team lost in overtime, in a game that was played indoors.

Why any playoff team would have him on their roster is beyond me.
