Open Gameday Thread - NFL Championship Weekend

by Chris on Jan 20, 2008 12:16 PM CST in Open Threads

San Diego @ New England, 2 PM central time on CBS.

New York Giants @ Green Bay, 5:30 PM central time on Fox

Predictions: Patriots over Chargers, 34 to 24. The Chargers score a late touchdown. Patriots roll to the Super Bowl.

Packers over the Giants, 27 to 21. Eli Manning throws a couple of picks. It's the matchup the media is telling us we all want -- Favre v. Brady.

Your predictions?

Pats and Giants

Pats win by 2 scores. Eli shows up and finally does what he was supposed to do and the Giants squeak it out.

How come no one mentions

that the Patriots might not lose any next year either.

Even if the Chiefs were good, we're not going to beat the Brady-led Patriots in the playoffs. So, rebuilding came at a good time I guess.

Wasup PT

God I hate listening to Phil Simms!

Watch

the fake 4th and 1

First offensive play

4 wide, no RB and they go deep.

I love their offense.

Wonder if

we will see any deep first down passes? Next season.

Let's not get crazy

This is the Chiefs

You have to be willing to change your

idea of deep. Next year for me short will be a screen or any pass behind the line of scrimmage, medium is any thing up to 3 yards, and deep is anything over 3 yards. I think even with these break downs we will be lucky to see two or three "deep" balls a game.

I love their offense

They have the guys to pull it off.

Impressive so far

Either you blitz the hell outta Brady and he burns you on deep one on one coverage with Moss, or you sit back and with 6 dbacks and he goes 26/28 on you.

I wanna

see Rivers get plante, I hate that dude!

by Eric on Jan 20, 2008 2:14 PM CST 0 recs

LT still not playing

And I would also like to see Rivers get planted.

He's just like that dumb frat guy.

by primetime 07 on Jan 20, 2008 2:15 PM CST 0 recs

I think

they are saving him some for later in the game.

Rodney Harrison

almost gave me my wish! LT got juked out of his shoes!

Philosophy from Phil Simms

Good, he's pretty qualified.

Brady finding rythm

Man...

Sproles is God

But there would have to be another VOLEKTRIKAL STORM to pull this one off.

Man, where's Chris been this entire game, asleep at the wheel?

Check out my diary for a complete Conference Championship run-down.

Sproles is god

Wonder if they would let him go.

Forget Brodie, Volek's a UFA

by primetime 07 on Jan 20, 2008 3:39 PM CST up 0 recs

Volek is not a good qb

Billy Volek looks like a young Damon Huard. He's a fringe starter in the league that likely will not get his shot until he is past his prime. Even so, he does not have a winning record as a starter and really those back to back 400 yard passing games that keep his legend alive were more the result of a then-bad Titans defense and deficits. I would be horrified if we get Volek, as should any team that banks a franchise on his services.
