Open Gameday Thread - Your Saturday NFL Playoff Viewing Schedule

by Chris Thorman on Jan 12, 2008 3:07 PM CST

Seattle @ Green Bay, 3:30 PM central time on Fox.

Jaguars @ Patriots, 7 PM central time on CBS.

Man, don't you just love football on Saturdays? Even if the Chiefs aren't playing, the divisional round of the NFL playoffs is up there with the best time of the year in sports.

I'm not one of those crazy bandwagoneers who is going to picks the Jags. New England will win and win handily. 38 to 27, Patriots. Jacksonville scores a late touchdown to make the score respectable.

The Seattle/Green Bay game could go either way but I've learned over the years to not doubt Brett Favre, especially at Lambeau Field. 31 to 17, Packers. Seattle never gets their offense going and Favre throws two touchdowns.

Let us know your predictions in the comment section. Oh, let us know your drink selection for the games as well. I've got six Fat Tire ales to get me through.

Bud heavy

I take New England by more than a TD.

And I'm doubting Favre and taking Seattle over Green Bay. I'm hoping the weather hinders GB's ability to throw. I need this Seattle victory to get a leg up on everyone in my office pool.

Why I hate FOX

Tony Siragusa.

Go home.

Cold and snowy in Green Bay

Should be an even game.

by Chris Thorman on Jan 12, 2008 3:36 PM CST reply actions

And hopefully affect Favre

But for some reason I kinda doubt it.

Fumble!!!!

by Joel Thorman on Jan 12, 2008 3:38 PM CST up reply actions

Seattle player injured on the kickoff

And the guy driving the cart to take him off the field is GIGANTIC and wearing shorts. Pretty hilarious.

Fumble

First play of the game. Packers turned it over. Seahawks have the ball inside the five.

by Chris Thorman on Jan 12, 2008 3:39 PM CST reply actions

No challenge?

Was his knee still on the ground?

TD Shaun Alexander.

Good start for me (Go Seattle!)

by Joel Thorman on Jan 12, 2008 3:39 PM CST up reply actions

Also important

to take the crowd out of it. Don't know how much of an influence the crowd is in Lambeau.

by Joel Thorman on Jan 12, 2008 3:40 PM CST reply actions

Umm, this could be a problem

Ryan Grant for the Packers fumbles again.

Wow. Unacceptable in January football.

Getting down 2 scores is huge.

Ryan Grant might of just lost that contract...

Pass Interference

Things couldn't be worse for the Packers at this point.

Herm's conservative, hang onto the ball philosophy is ringing true here.

by Joel Thorman on Jan 12, 2008 3:45 PM CST reply actions

Well

You can't really say the Packers were taking chances. The two fumbles were on plays of zero yards and like five yards.

by Chris Thorman on Jan 12, 2008 3:49 PM CST up reply actions

Herm

Im thinking at halftime Hmm Herm says that 24 ppg should do it most of the time. He's repeatedly repeated this and given several examples throughout the season. Now in the divisional playoff game I'm seeing a halftime score of 28-17.????

Wait 'til next year

It will be like watching college ball with the scores we'll see teams rack up.

You play to score more points than the opposition!

Blame my wife!

Bobby Engram pushed out of bounds

for a TD.

14-0.

Could anyone have predicted this? Oh, yeah, I predicted it.

by Joel Thorman on Jan 12, 2008 3:51 PM CST reply actions

Hate that call

Discredits a good defensive play.

by Joel Thorman on Jan 12, 2008 3:52 PM CST reply actions

Jinx!

by Chris Thorman on Jan 12, 2008 3:52 PM CST up reply actions

I hate the force out rule

It punishes a good defensive play.

by Chris Thorman on Jan 12, 2008 3:52 PM CST reply actions

James Jones

31 yard catch.

Not bad for what a 2nd or 3rd round pick?

by Joel Thorman on Jan 12, 2008 3:58 PM CST reply actions

Touchdown Packers

Greg Jennings from Favre

by Joel Thorman on Jan 12, 2008 3:59 PM CST reply actions

No blowout

Huge, huge TD for the Packers.

by Chris Thorman on Jan 12, 2008 3:59 PM CST up reply actions

God help me

The Lambeau Leap

Falcons GM update

PFT is reporting that the Falcons have hired the Patriots director of college scouting Tom Dimitroff to it's vacant GM position.

The snow is getting worse

Ryan Grant's two fumbles won't be the last.

by Chris Thorman on Jan 12, 2008 4:03 PM CST reply actions

Mike Holmgren isn't wearing gloves on the sideline

That has to be so uncomfortable. At least the players are moving around.

by Joel Thorman on Jan 12, 2008 4:04 PM CST reply actions

Insulation man

And I'm not talking about his official Reebox Zero Degrees sideline jacket.

by Chris Thorman on Jan 12, 2008 4:07 PM CST up reply actions

Packers are knocking on the door again

This next TD will make FOUR in the first quarter.

by Chris Thorman on Jan 12, 2008 4:21 PM CST reply actions

Doesn't look good for Seattle

If they needed 2 big turnovers to score and the Packers have gone the length of the field TWICE!

TD Packers.

by Joel Thorman on Jan 12, 2008 4:21 PM CST reply actions

Favre is on fire

10/11 and just threw another TD pass.

by Chris Thorman on Jan 12, 2008 4:33 PM CST reply actions

This was a throwaway game

before the Patriots game but its turning out to be very entertaining.

by Chris Thorman on Jan 12, 2008 4:34 PM CST reply actions

21-17 Packers

Josh Brown hit the FG.

At least the "pre-game game" is turning out to be interesting.

Still pumped for Jags/Pats.

by Joel Thorman on Jan 12, 2008 4:46 PM CST reply actions

Now..

..just hold on for 55 minutes.

Blame my wife!

by sir eccles on Jan 12, 2008 7:25 PM CST reply actions

Jacksonville

I would love for the Jags to take out New England.

This drive is pretty impressive - from their own 4 to a touchdown.

Go Jags!

You play to win the game!

by tailgateandwin on Jan 12, 2008 8:04 PM CST reply actions

Welcome back

No matter what I just assume that the Patriots will blow people out. Even with this halftime score, I see the Patriots winnig by more than one TD.

by Joel Thorman on Jan 12, 2008 8:45 PM CST up reply actions

Your probably right

I just keep hoping - 'ya know?

And it out of pure jealousy - I don't hide it. I am so fucking jealous of the Patriots, their team, their coach & their fans must be going out of their heads.

You play to win the game!

by tailgateandwin on Jan 12, 2008 8:57 PM CST up reply actions

28-17 pats start of 4th

It appears Jax is getting schooled at their own game. Maroney fourteen carries 100 yards, Dj still believe this is the team that KC needs?

by Eric @ Arrowhead Pride on Jan 12, 2008 9:23 PM CST reply actions

Who can stop Patriots?

Apparently no one. So it doesn't matter how you play.

At least the salary cap will kick in an the all-star team the Pats have this year won't be able to stay together forever.

by DJ @ Arrowhead Pride on Jan 12, 2008 9:58 PM CST up reply actions

Unless they

decide to keep their wages low enough to keep a winning combo together.

by Eric @ Arrowhead Pride on Jan 12, 2008 10:30 PM CST up reply actions

And the

dream slowly dies.

You play to win the game!

by tailgateandwin on Jan 12, 2008 9:32 PM CST reply actions

As soon

as I open my mouth Jax goes pass happy!

by Eric @ Arrowhead Pride on Jan 12, 2008 9:33 PM CST reply actions

oops

That's the game.

Blame my wife!

by sir eccles on Jan 12, 2008 9:52 PM CST reply actions

I really thought

that it would be much closer. Thought that Jax would be able to run more. The Pats took that away and had to rely on the arm of Garrard. That is what sucks about being a run heavy offense. When it is time to rely on the passing game, you are taken out of your element.
