NFL Wild Card Weekend Playoffs LIVE THREAD

ESPN NFL ^

[Bender2]

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--

[mware]

A balmy 24 degrees at game time in Phila.

[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?

[fatnotlazy]

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

Re:

Many of y'all have expressed a concern, that like Ted Striker... big has a drinking problem.

Nope, evidence says big has a eating... problem.

No, Bend-- I don't have an eating problem... with pizza.

I rest... my case.

It will be in the tropical mid 30s in Cincinnati. I was hoping for a repeat of the 1982 Freezer Bowl. I think Dan Fouts froze solid during that game.

[atc23]

Pack stuns Frisco at home - natch.

Bungles send Bolts bolting

Colts upend Chiefs

Phila mauls the aging Aints in cold weather.

Have a Happy New Year everyone!!

[darkangel82]

Happy New Year to all FReeper NFL fans. My picks:

Lightning strikes Cincy
Colts corral KC
Niners win in Rodgers’ backyard, and avoid the icebox
Saints march into Philly and win

[atc23]

Still waiting, NFL . . . BRING MY TEAM HOME, NOW!!!

. . and put em back in the classic Blue and White.

[DoodleDawg]

San Diego got played to a stand-still by the Chief’s second and third string. I don’t think they’re going to survive Cincinnati.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

TIME TO BRING THE LOMBARDI TROPHY HOME!

[Bender2]

So far, looks like Dr. Sivana and I are the only ones... picking my Old Dallas Texans to prevail!

[Rummyfan]

It’s early but here are my picks...

Nick Foles and the Eagles continue their strong play, and beat the not-so-good-on-the-road Saints in Philly.

The Colts handle the fading Chiefs (2 - 5 since opening 9 - 0). No shame for the Chiefs who effected one of the biggest turnarounds in league history.

Green Bay handles the 7-Squares at Lambeau. Kaepernick is not the QB he was hyped as last year.

And the Chargers upset the Bungles in Cincy.

[Rummyfan]

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

[Rummyfan]

Well, when you blow a 24-point lead...

[freedumb2003]

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.
