NFL Wild Card Weekend.

[GA_Boater]

No pressure to catch aspeck after he cleaned up in iboats NFL Pigskin Pick'em. Just for fun now.

Only 4 games to talk about. The Chiefs are at the Texans in the first game and the Steelers are at the Bengals in the second.. Tomorrow the early game is the Seahawks at the Vikings, followed by the Pack at the Skins.

Good luck to your fave or home team. Go Steelers!

The Hawks are my team. It looks like it will be a super cold game.

 

[GA_Boater]

Opening kickoff returned by KC for the first score. Took all of 11 seconds and 108 yards.

HERE WE GO STEELERS HERE WE GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:first:

 

[GA_Boater]

I don't think the Texans will meet the Steelers for the AFC championship.

I don't think the Texans will meet the Steelers for the AFC championship.

Ya gotta score to move on. KC wins 30-0.

Go Steelers! :cheer2:

I knew I could count on you GA! Didn't realize/remember there were games today until I just went channel surfing. Been plowing and then took off to the closest town to watch Star Wars. A family outing. We must be about the only ones who wanted to see it finally see it. There were nothing but a handful of us old folks who waited until all the chaos was over. Lived up to its hype. Great movie.

But I digress. I see KC handed it to Houston. Now Cincy and Pitts..........

I think KC will win the first game by a big margin ... maybe even shut out the Texans.

Steelers and Bengals game will be chippy. Both teams HATE each other. Burfect might get ejected if he acts like he did in the last game. I am going with a Steeler win.

I think Minn will win in the cold tomorrow. And the Pack have the talent to beat the Skins, but the Pack has not been playing up to their talent level. The Pack will win or lose the game. It is all up to their play. I think they will win it, but we will have to wait till tomorrow to see.

I will miss tomorrow's games. My daughter has a VFW banquet to attend where she will be reading her Patriot's Pen essay on "What Freedom Means to Me." She won her school "competition" and the VFW district competition. We should find out tomorrow how she did at the State level.

 

[sphelps]

speck I hope your daughter wins state with her essay ! A video of that would be awesome !
As for the games ... I don't have a team I'm pulling for I just want Panthers to get knocked out ..
Heck I guess I'll pull for the Packers or maybe the Steelers .. op2:

 

[WIMUSKY]

Congrats to your daughter, Speck. You must be a proud Pappa!!!!

I hear Lynch is out for tomorrow. Take him out and add the cold, best Mn could ask for..... Still will be very tough to win..... Sea has been on a terror....

 

[GA_Boater]

Hey 'speck - Do ya really think Houston will be shutout? LOL

Pit and Cincy has been a dogfight so far. Cincy is even fighting among themselves. I'm losing track of how unsportsmanlike flags.

Congrats to your daughter. I hope what freedom means to her is watching the victorious Steelers in SB50!

What was O'Brien thinking for sticking with Hoyer, Dumb move.

 

[aspeck]

Interesting first half ... and Steelers are a better second half team and the Bungles are a better first half team ... but this is the playoffs and that really doesn't mean anything. I think the rain is bothering Ben less than McCarron. Coaches need to get the players on both sides of the ball calmed down ... officials are calling it REAL close, but they need to with these 2 teams. They did not do that the last time they played and it was ugly. Shucks, even the coaches are getting into the act of drawing flags ... way to go Munchak!:facepalm:

Is it time for the second half yet? Come on, I am ready for some more physical football!

 

[GA_Boater]

Steelers have a running game going again, Only 3 FG's for scores, but they are moving the ball. They gotta watch the tempers. One flag at the wrong time can hurt.

 

[GA_Boater]

Major style points to Bryant for that TD catch according to Nantz!

 

[aspeck]

I am still not sure that was a complete pass, but it was pretty, and I will take it. Got to stop the penalties now ...

 

[WIMUSKY]

Should have been a penalty against the Steelers. Lead with the helmet and hit high. Cincy was flagged for the same hit....

 

[aspeck]

Although I agree with you, Musky, by the letter of the law, he was no longer a defenseless receiver when he took 2 steps and turned. The turning put the oness of the hit on the receiver.

Now Big Ben is hurt ... Hope this doesn't fire up the Bungles too much ....

 

[boatman37]

wow. what a bunch of idiots in the stands. ben gets hurt and the fans cheer. to top it off they throw debris at him as he is carted off. that is a real low move there. takes a real piece of cr*p to throw stuff at an injured person as they are carted off. don't care who you are

and for the record...munchak was stupid for his move. i'm a steeler fan but that is deserving of a nice fine. coaches have no business touching opposing players

 

[GA_Boater]

These reception rules are getting screwy. I don't know how you wrap your rms around a player and keep your helmet from making some contact.

The O-Line better protect Jones better than this last series.
