NFL Division Playoff Round Thread

What a start to this game. 14-7 Ravens five minutes in. Grab your popcorn.

MizzouRah · 01-12-2013, 03:56 PM

Get Some!!! Let's go RAVENS!

kcchief19 · 01-12-2013, 03:56 PM

Are the Broncos going to learn that Peyton Manning is not necessarily a cold-weather QB? Gumbel and Dierdorf making a big deal of Manning wear gloves on both hands and Flacco no gloves, then Flacco throws a bomb and Manning the pick-6.

That throw by Flacco was one of the best Madden-esque TD passes I've ever seen in real life. Tory Smith had to hit the right trigger to get that ball and catches it in stride at full speed. Beautiful.

Abe Sargent · 01-12-2013, 03:57 PM

Lol we both saw that there was no thread and made one at the same time

kcchief19 · 01-12-2013, 03:58 PM

LOL! I was surprised there wasn't one. I search the main page and one page back to see if someone started one earlier and I missed it.

Scoobz0202 · 01-12-2013, 04:06 PM

That was a beautiful throw and catch. Niiice

kcchief19 · 01-12-2013, 04:20 PM

I think we all expected this game to end up in the 56-53 range, right?

Desnudo · 01-12-2013, 04:21 PM

Bailey either needs to be bumping Smith or playing off the ball because Smith is running by him.

Desnudo · 01-12-2013, 04:37 PM

I think Baltimore will regret missing those two chances

MizzouRah · 01-12-2013, 04:52 PM

You cannot give Manning the time he's getting.

BillJasper · 01-12-2013, 05:02 PM

Flacco looks like someone shot his dog.

Desnudo · 01-12-2013, 05:04 PM

Nice catch!

Abe Sargent · 01-12-2013, 05:04 PM

What a catch by Smith

That said they've been letting light contact go on both sides of the ball for both teams. It is almost like they have orders to swallow the whistle and take away the regular season strategy of throwing it up looking for the forty yard PI call.

Abe Sargent · 01-12-2013, 05:23 PM

Wowowowowowow

Abe Sargent · 01-12-2013, 05:24 PM

This game is everything last week's games weren;t If it continues this weekend, this may be a great weekend o' football

StLee · 01-12-2013, 05:25 PM

LSU! LSU! LSU!

Glengoyne · 01-12-2013, 05:26 PM

Whoa. That is a heck of a game from a guy I don't think I'd heard before.

kcchief19 · 01-12-2013, 05:28 PM

Another kick return by Holliday ... holy cow.

Flacco is making big plays. I heard a Baltimore reporter covering the team on KC radio this week. He said this game and the rest of the post season was going to go a long way toward the Ravens determining whether to resign Flacco long term or franchise him and give him one more year to prove himself. He's made me a believer. He's not going to be Brady, Manning or Rodgers, but he can be on that next tier.

JonInMiddleGA · 01-12-2013, 05:29 PM

Umm ... I don't think I'd kick to that guy again.

cthomer5000 · 01-12-2013, 05:46 PM

I just wonder in general if Peyton having so much leeway with audibles and stuff over the years hasn't lead to him tending to over-think things come playoff time. I just feel like with the increased pressure he never seems to be at 100% in the playoffs.

Scoobz0202 · 01-12-2013, 06:04 PM

Just what this game needed. Some tuck rule.

Abe Sargent · 01-12-2013, 06:06 PM

One side has their special teams keeping them in teh game. The other side has Peyton Manning keeping them in theirs.

MizzouRah · 01-12-2013, 06:07 PM

Duh.. that's who you need to hand it off to.

tucker rocky · 01-12-2013, 06:15 PM

Surprised Baltimore didn't pull one of these:

I really don't think that is true. I'd look at first downs and total plays and say I think Manning is playing the better game(And Flacco should actually have a huge advantage in both of these with Denver losing two positions to special teams TDs.)

Flacco also benefitted greatly from Smith making Bailey look silly for an entire half and that actually accounts for over half of his total yards. Flacco STILL hasn't hit 200 yards at this point. And how many times did Flacco miss Smith while he was open?

I really don't get all the negative crap Manning gets.

AlexB · 01-12-2013, 06:40 PM

I used to think Manning was overrated (thought he was very good, but not as great as he was made out to be). What he has done to transform this Denver side has made me change my mind: to paraphase Adrian Durham - he is all that.

Danny · 01-12-2013, 06:42 PM

And the int was no a dropped pass on a well thrown ball

mauchow · 01-12-2013, 06:46 PM

Definitely a fun game. You gotta think the nightcap will be the same.

Desnudo · 01-12-2013, 06:47 PM

Ravens keep making mental mistakes

He's also doing it with the whitest receiving corp since the 50s. The timberwolves would be proud.

frnk55 · 01-12-2013, 06:59 PM

Time to BOMB IT!!!!!!!!!!

Danny · 01-12-2013, 07:00 PM

Abe Sargent · 01-12-2013, 07:01 PM

Del Rio is going to kill someone tonight

Julio Riddols · 01-12-2013, 07:01 PM

But that gives Manning 30 seconds and 2 time outs....

JonInMiddleGA · 01-12-2013, 07:01 PM

You have GOT to be f'n kidding me.

Suburban Rhythm · 01-12-2013, 07:01 PM

How do you allow anyone behind you? I can't grasp that AT ALL!
