NFL Playoff Thread

I'm calling the Packers consistent regardless of what you're calling them.

Since 1992 they have missed the playoffs four times. They have had a losing record twice in that time. That is pretty damn consistent. They have appeared in three Super Bowls, won two of them, and lost an additional two conference championship games.

There are roughly 28 teams that would like to have that track record. As far as Rodgers goes, he was 4-0 last year in the playoffs, laid a fart last night, and scored six touchdowns in his first playoff game, which was a loss. I think it's safe to say he'll be a staple of the playoffs for at least the next few seasons.

 

Dude, let it go already. The Steelers got no pressure on Rodgers and they didn't cover anybody all night and you're still going on about Mendenhall losing a fumble on a great play by Matthews.

I can't imagine the shit you'd still be saying about Bettis if Roethlisberger hadn't made that tackle against the Colts.

 

And he completes 85 percent of his passes.

 

Or the shit I'd be saying about how the NFL fixed that game for the Colts. #TyingItAllTogetherVeryNicely

 

You'd think the best-run league in professional sports could have done a better job than just screwing the Steelers on one call.

 

Stay classy, San Francisco -- Ann Killion on CSN Bay Area talks to a Saints fan:

“While walking through the parking lots we had footballs thrown at us, guys screaming curses in our faces -- my daughters asked if I had heard the guy who yelled "your mother's a whore," which I had, but couldn't show a reaction for fear for my daughters' and my own safety. We finally took to shadowing two cops who were strolling through the lots until we dashed for what we thought would be the relative sanity of the stadium.

“The stadium was no better. Every other word from dozens of fans around us was an F-bomb shouted at the top of their lungs. There were seven or eight large 30-35 year old guys directly behind who cursed and threatened us the entire game. After one string of profanities I turned around to look at them and the most obnoxious and combative of the bunch yelled " Do not turn around again! Do not EVER turn around again you (expletive)". They used gay slurs repeatedly at the husband of a middle-aged couple in front of us, the only other Saints fan in our area, and called his wife a bitch. A 49ers fan in front of him would react to every Saints score by turning around, pointing and screaming at the guy that he was going to "(expletive) kill you if you cheer again."

Isolated idiots, bad apples, yada yada yada.

 

It's a simple matter for local Raider fans to attend games across the Bay.

 

Like Giants here. Crazy?

 

It was a dry run for what the league pulled off a couple weeks later.

 

This happens at literally every pro sports arena in the four major sports leagues in America.

 

I'll say that I've attended road games in San Diego, Atlanta and Minnesota decked out in Packer gear, surrounded by fans of the other team, and I've never been given any trouble.

 

Even Columbus for Blue Jackets games?
