Gadzooks! 2014... How the time flies.

Seems just like yesterday that my Boys... were winning three out of four Super Bowls--

Yeah, yeah, yeah, Bend! And they have bee a lousy 8 and 8... for the past three years.

Whoa-- That was such a pleasant dream... I was having, Duck. Why did you wake me?

It is all Cornfed's fault! He says it is time... to post the NFL Wild Card Weekend Playoffs LIVE THREAD!

Sorry, Bender, I suppose I am just rather anal... about these things--

Anal? I'll tell ya anal-- [---- CENSORED ----]... [------ CENSORED ------]

Moving along before the Mods start hacking with double bladed axes... here are my dead on picks for this weekend:

And again, my ESPN colleagues... remain gutless.

So, Happy New Year... and get your picks in.

[Bender2]

Hey, Bendy, isn't being immortalized in cheese... wonderful?

Gadzooks! Get that... out of my mouth!

And, big, isn't this taking the Ice Bowl 'Sneak' a little... too far?

I know you've been celebrating the Pack getting back into the playoffs, but are you sure that.. you are okay?

I'm fine, Bend. I'm... fine--

[alarm rider]

Already getting the little bummer feeling that the near end of the season brings.

Anyway, my picks- I like Indy over KC, Philadelphia over New Orleans, Cincy over SD, and Green Bay over SF. Questions?

Mercifully, the Steelers are out of the playoffs. If by some miracle they had made it, the playoffs would have been a farce.

TIME TO BRING THE LOMBARDI TROPHY HOME!

Bendy, it’s 2014, and your ‘Boys are a perfect 136 - 136 since 1997. Airman, Emmitt, and those other stars are long gone.

As much as I am a Packer backer they will be annihilated by SF (whom I hate). In the playoffs you need D in the NFL. 41-17 SF.

I don’t have much interest in the rest of the WC games. I despise both NO and Philly but I guess one of them has to win.

I will watch (of course — the worst NFL is better than the best any other sport) but I don’t really have any predilections or even favorites.

Why would you soil a perfectly good playoff thread with pictures of now geriatric Cowboys? Once allegedly America’s team, now the team most need Heimlich Manuever training.

Cincy

N.O.

Packers

KC-D Chiefs-Texans

Go Bengals!

Not only did I call all three games for the win last week that the Chargers needed to go their way, I was almost EXACT on the actual scores for BOTH teams.

Check it out, I called these predictions:

NY Jets 21 - Miami 7 // Cin 34 - Balt 21 // SD 28 - KC 24 //

===============TRUE SCORE============================

NY Jets 20 - Miami 7 // Cin 34 - Balt 17 // SD 27 - KC 23

[Blue Highway]

anyone want to actually throw actual scores along with their picks as well to raise the stakes so to speak?

Chiefs at Colts - On paper, you'd think this would be a strong game for KC, but with KC being on a 2-game losing streak and Indianapolis being one of those two teams (at Kansas City, no less, this becomes a lot more interesting. I'm going to go with the Colts here, as I don't think the rest the KC starters got last week will make that big a difference.

Saints at Eagles - The only good news for Dallas is that it's Philadelphia who will be unceremoniously ushered out of the playoffs instead of the themselves. A nice warm-up act for New Orleans as they prepare for a great matchup against the Panthers (see below).

Charges at Bengals - San Diego limped into the playoffs by everyone else losing and barely squaking by Kansas City's second string after a last-second missed FG in regulation. I don't see them causing any real trouble from the #6 spot like the Ravens were able to do last year.

49's at Packers - It's Rodgersmania!!! He's back, and he's going to lead Green Bay to... the showers and then the golf course. San Fran is the 2nd best team in the NFC, and will point out this fact abundantly to the Packers who will have no real time to get any chemistry back together and face a serious team as opposed to the hapless Bears.

I think the Horses will bolt and the Indians are left on the prairie - Indy over KC.

Taints suck on the road and the dogbiter is on the bench so Philly Whizstinks over East Houston.

The Bolts will ride the lightning in SinSininatie - Dungals win.

Rogers don't like being called a fag by Phonywhiner fan so Fudgepackers take it out on the Queer City boys and send them home with ice burns.

As for me, I'll be keeping lady warm...
