NFL Playoffs Running Thread

After all the thrills of wild card weekend, the Divisional Playoffs have been quite lame. Steelers-Ravens was somewhat dramatic but marred by horrible officiating that hampered BOTH sides. The last two games have been blowouts. I hope Jets-Patriots bucks this trend, though I'd be shocked if it does.

 

Seahawks needed just two plays to score a TD. Not looking good for next week.

 

No, you can't.

But if nothing in the NFL this season else but the outcome of this one play changed, the Bears aren't in. (Unless the Bears made a miracle comeback in the final 20 seconds of that game.)

A butterfly flapped its wings and look what happened.

 

Bears are really awful in garbage time. Philadelphia second half, entire second Packers game, today.

 

What was the spread on this?

 

This game just went to a push on a few sites. Paging (whoever that nutjob is with the conspiracy theories. I can't keep all you nutjobs apart).

 

Bears -10, maybe 10½. If you took -11 you are an awful gambler.

 

10 points. Someone's child is going to get beaten because of that PAT.

 

Seriously, this why smart Bears fans question what a Lovie Smith-coached team is capable. Good enough isn't good enough when your bitter rival is coming to town with the Super Bowl on line. Not looking good for next week.

 

I wanted a Joe Piscarik moment there, just to hear YGBFKM's head explode from here.

 

Damn rules of football.
