hi, Mo! 5 minutes!!!
Picking Falcons
Color me sentimental, but since Tony G. is on the Falcons, I’m going with them.
Giants are probably the better team though…

Going the Falcons...
They read a stat during the beginning of the game, Tony G has NEVER won a playoff game in his career…. that sucks and I feel for Tony.
Rooting for the Falcons to make it all the way for Tony G. If anyone deserves it, it’s Tony.

Tying run is always on deck, though.

And now the go ahead run is coming to the plate.
Mets could take a 3-2 lead.

Or the Mets could strike out here and leave 2 on base.

They could bat around here.
And take a 7-2 lead.

the falcons aren't that good
they are in a crappy spot. good enough to get to the playoffs, not good enough to do anything once they get there. their D is just not dynamic at all.
They just don't seem to improve.
This looks like the same team as last year in the playoffs and the year before. It doesn’t help that you trade 3/4 of your draft for a #2 WR but still.

not sure, just reading some news
apparently thousands of birds, cows, fishes, etc died during new year
some claimed fireworks but I suspect otherwise
Like those birds and fish in mississippi last year.
Weird.
"Give them nothing! But take from them everything!"
here's my argument
if fireworks causes dead fish/birds, why did it only occur last year and this year?
why wouldn’t it happen every year since the creation of firecrackers
What was really odd in Mississippi(and maybe because it was Mississippi)
Is they gave a lame reason and it was a “might be” and then that was the end of it. No more investigating or publicity. It was just over.

news
Depending on what news article you read… a lot of them left out details about the dead birds to give more hype to the ‘End Of The World’ coming. A bunch of rednecks shot fireworks into a blackbird nest, causing them to flee. They found about 100 dead in the nest. Blackbirds have very poor night vision. Almost 5000 died this New Years… they probably just flew into each other.

they paid 20 mill for this past season, owe 28 mill bonus due in march, plus another 7 mill on his contract, and the colts haven’t thrown any money at luck yet.

They said if he played LB or something it would be tough but at QB he should be ok. But I agree, I’m just saying he’s gonna be a Colt or retired. Theres no way they let him go to another team.
no i'm saying they got alot of money tied up on one guy
I think manning is great, but at some point u got to do whats right for the colts. I think the colts best move right now is to try to trade manning for picks. They are iin rebuild mode now.

Cam Newton's signing bonus was $14,518,000
Chiefs D held Raiders, Bears, Packers and Broncos to their lowest point outputs of the season. #RAC
i thought they had phased out signing bonuses for rookies
so, 36.5M guaranteed for Newton vs 50M for Bradford. still a difference, but not as huge as I thought.
That's why some think Manning will be released.
I could see it going either way, but Luck would be a very expensive backup to a very expensive starter.
Chiefs D held Raiders, Bears, Packers and Broncos to their lowest point outputs of the season. #RAC
yeah, the signing bonus changes my thinking a little bit
still think they can afford it for a season, but not sure there is much of a point.
Other then the NO/DET for one 1/2 none of these playoff games have really been very close.
"Give them nothing! But take from them everything!"
tebow vs steelers will be a close game
some guy who can’t throw the ball vs some guy who can’t walk
My money is on the guy who can’t walk
You could probably blindfold the no walking guy and still beat a no throwing guy.
"Give them nothing! But take from them everything!"
You mean
one guy who walks on water vs. some guy who can’t walk on grass.

Scrutinize the 4th downs all you want.
This offense just sucked today and they didn’t lose because they didn’t kick a couple FGs.
"Give them nothing! But take from them everything!"
team just put way too much faith in where they thought they were
no 1st round pick for them this offseason is brutal
I guess our new oc isn't coming from atlanta

No. Although that fourth down play looked like a play that Muir was drawing up but fell asleep before he could finish it.

anybody find it strange...
that they’re called the “new york giants” but they play in New Jersey..
I thought they were called
the New York Football Giants.
At least that’s what idiots on TV always call them.

You have to start Tebow and let him fail miserably so you can convince the fans that you need a new QB
Or they’ll crucify Elway and friends.

i dont think how tebow performs
really matters to his supporters. it’s very odd trying to talk to people who love him.
can't blame them
they had orton who parties all the time
vs
tebow who does charities, heal the sick, and kill evil on a 24/7 basis
can't blame him
Hey baby I’m a QB, now get in my bed

Which is why as Chiefs fans you want this game to finish 23-20 Steelers
With Tebow going 20/30 for 200 yards and a TD and no turnovers.

I should, but I just can't.

the falcons making the playoffs is unnecessary treatment of the american public
i’m hoping the panthers pass them by next year
Giants
Giants are overrated IMo but most of u seem to think they’re really good. Their o line is ok , d line is, db’s are below avg, qb is very good and wr’s r very good…they’re a good team but not as good as they appear today…I watch them play all the time as I’m from nj and if they didn’t win that super bowl coughlin would’ve been gone a long time ago.
by Chiefs86 on Jan 8, 2012 2:52 PM CST via mobile reply actions
they're good against scrubs (atlanta)
let’s see them face packers/saints
they're a tough team
almost beat the packers once, they’ve got a shot next week. inconsistent team, but they get up for the playoffs.
You know how everyone was all up in arms one game when cassel had a really low ypa?
Don’t look now, but Ryan has a pretty low one now.
by bossmanham on Jan 8, 2012 2:57 PM CST via mobile reply actions
I believe most were saying Ryan was incredibly overrated up above.
I saw no defenders.
3rd and 1...guess we'll run the dime. Eesh.
LOL @ Tony G
You could have not won playoff games in KC
For constantly playing Palko, Haley needs to be fired
i hope he goes into the HoF as a falcon
no reason to have a chiefs uniform on an embarrassment
An embarrassment?
I’m not cheering for him to pull off playoff victories, but the guy is the best TE to play the game. How the hell is that an embarrassment?
3rd and 1...guess we'll run the dime. Eesh.
the fact that he left the chiefs to die and fend for ourselves?
yea let’s welcome him with open arms
hell even priest holmes, broken neck and all tried to win us games
tony G: yea ya suck so I’m going to atlanta. See ya bitches
He left us to die?
You mean, he left when we were starting over YET ANOTHER rebuild? And left at at time when we could get something for him still?
The guy holds no ill will towards KC. I don’t see why we should be chastising him. It’s a business, too.
3rd and 1...guess we'll run the dime. Eesh.
i have no problem with the guy
he wanted to work for a new company, whatever. not like he dogged it when he was in KC.
True story
Dude always played hard.
I hope he comes back. Him and Moeaki would be legit and give us tons of options.

This game is an excellent example of D beating O
Despite the new idea that ALL that matters is offense…
This is why a team without an elite QB can win SB’s…

Surely you're not talking about Eli?
Eli Manning is damn near elite if he’s not already.
3rd and 1...guess we'll run the dime. Eesh.
What I mean is Rodgers/Brady/Brees elite
Which he’s not.
He’s very good though. My main point is defense can still win games, contrary to popular belief.
I love my wife, my kids, and the Chiefs. In that order. Except on game days.
I am the Master of Hyperenthetical Asiditry (you know, like this. Only more)
Well, I'd put Eli and Stafford directly behind those three.
Still meaning they’ve got one of the NFL’s best QB’s. Defense can still win games, yes, but if they go far, they’re going to need both.
3rd and 1...guess we'll run the dime. Eesh.
Are they that good
Or surrounded by good tools?
Stafford’s got Megatron, Eli’s got a very good, deep receiving corps…
I dunno, I’m not sure I’d put either of them above Cutler or Schaub or Newton or Dalton or any other of a half dozen or so QBs…
But yeah, you can’t have a bad or average QB if you want to go far.

hi, Mo! 5 minutes!!!
Newton and Dalton are still too young to make that comparison in my opinion.
Schaub has Johnson, so he falls into the Stafford and Eli part of your argument. Cutler is…hrm…difficult for me.
I still think Eli’s in the top six, as is Stafford…at least in my rankings.
3rd and 1...guess we'll run the dime. Eesh.
Eli that high?
top 10 yeah … but top 6?

Brees, Rodgers, Brady.
Top three, for sure. You want to throw a healthy Peyton in there, I’m fine with it. After that, there’s a pack of guys that are similar. I think Stafford and Eli lead that pack of guys.
3rd and 1...guess we'll run the dime. Eesh.
yah, Stafford's really getting into that elite territory fast

This.
They have too many holes to keep both. And it’s pointless to keep Manning around for 1 year, if Luck will even sit that long. Might as well move Manning.

I just got this sinking feeling that Cassel is going to be the starting QB next year
and Stanzi is still third string

me, too
Palko must be gone, and we need another QB on the roster. I don’t care who it is… Orton, draft pick, whatever, but Cassel with an as of yet untested Stanzi is not a good plan.
It is time to anoint the Stanzi. He is The One.
If Stanzi is still third string
it will be Stanzi’s own fault. RAC seems determined to give him his shot.
