The Falcons visit the Cardinals and the Colts visit the Chargers. Since I live in Atlanta, I guess I'll adopt the Falcons as my playoff team.
This is an open thread for both playoff games.

My prediction: LT will be useless today
San Diego Chargers running back LaDainian Tomlinson has a detached tendon that connects one of his adductor (groin) muscles to his pubic bone, according to team sources.

My predictions for the wildcard games
Atlanta
Indy
Eagles
Ravens.
NFL Pet peeve, why is a 12-4 team playing on the road against an 8-8 team, change this stupid rule NFL

to what?
i think taking the top 6 teams in a conference would kind of ruin the importance of division games
What the French?! Toast!

best reguar season record in the wildcard matchups gets homefield
Indy would then host the SD game…

IND will win regardless

oh i guess that wouldnt hurt
but thats the whole reason to win against divison teams so you get homefield.

yeah, I'd agree with that
who gets in is unchanged, but seed and home field is determined by overall rank regardless of division…

I'm going for an Atlanta/Miami SB
That would be incredible. Chad Pennington and Tony Sparano vs Michael Turner and Matt Ryan…..and don’t forget Ricky Williams…
by Brandon Worley on Jan 3, 2009 3:36 PM CST reply actions 0 recs
atl vs car and miami vs colts
defn them in the champ games who wins is anyones guess but id like to see peyton get another so there is no superbowl ring dispute when hes brought up as the greatest qb ever.
superbowl is a team accomplishment but yet people still want to use it as a grading factor for qbs

yea
the coaches have tried telling him to throw it away at times
but it ends up as an intentional grounding
and bombing to miles austin the play after doesnt work every time
it screwed us in the giants playoff game but i still trust romo to make a play or check it down
and maybe throw it away out of bounds instead of just away

yeah but it was the scheme
that got the matchup. Curtis motioned out wide, Trufant followed him and left the LB on TO. Dumb mistake by the Hawks, but still a good play design to force them to make that adjustment and create the mismatch.

Does in fact, have better mechanics than Tony Romo, Terry’s Messiah.

who needs a playmaker at QB, just need a smart qb that plays with poise and distributes the ball to the right receiver

I don't disagree with that.
I was just trying to defend our QB.

Tony was running for his life the last 3 games.
He made bad decisions but our o-line was sieve.
by houseofprime on Jan 3, 2009 5:15 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
We need...
more quickness on our O-line. Romo is amazing at avoiding the pass rush and makes our O-line look so much better than they are.

I Agree With That Assessment As Well.

That is...
true… I like Romo a lot. It just seems like he has had a lot of luck the past few seasons. So many fumbles that should of been lost and dropped picks. I’m all for playmakers but I don’t want 3 turnovers every game either.
by Slick-ish24 on Jan 3, 2009 5:14 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
ryan is rookie of the year hands down
and he has a run game, an OL that actually blocks people
and there u go, good qb
give romo time and he tears defenses up
remember the browns game
even with proctor it just looked too easy

i'm rooting for the vikes, cards, bolts and the miami cowboys...
if the cards lose next week, the vikes better pick up the slack

Manning always gets a clean pocket…and I wonder why he is MVP.

That was crazy but
Manning does that as well as anyone. I’ve always wished we could do more of that but our players just aren’t as disciplined as the Colts are. Hell, if the Cowboys offense saw the other team’s D start substituting our offense would probably call a timeout to give them more time.
by kameleon_o on Jan 3, 2009 9:10 PM CST reply actions 0 recs
if you are playing manning
you have to know he might try that and be aware of it every play. Cromartie was the one caught off guard, but that’s a coaching error.
(Unless the Colts did sub too, in which case they got a free TD.)
by scottmaui on Jan 3, 2009 9:14 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
That's what Ron Rivera was arguing with the refs about. That the Colts subbed too

we’ll find out about later. if they did and the Bolts end up losing, man that would suck.

Well...
Fasano didn’t show much the time he was here. He’s doing well now ‘cause he doesn’t have Witten in front of him. I still like Bennett’s upside. As for Ayodele, I didn’t like the fact that he was “thrown in” in that trade especially now that we’re going to be looking for an ILB for next season. Either way though, those 2 missing players are not the reason we missed the playoffs.

He’s only won during the post-season that same year he won the SB. Other than that, Peyton does not win playoff games.

Random thoughts
I don’t think Norval is a great HC, but I love the guy and always root for him.
I always like it when OT ends with a TD, not a FG.
Did anyone else get tired of the sideline shots of LDT? He wasn’t exactly missed.
by I_miss_Switzer on Jan 3, 2009 10:39 PM CST reply actions 0 recs
LT is our MB3 now
