NFL: The Official "What Have We Learned?" Wild Card Weekend Thread

[South Paw]

What are they ranked when the defense doesn't give them a short field?

That's in yards per game. Nice try.

You need to drop this narrative. Seattle had the #9 offense in the nfl

It borderline sickens me to say this, but there's nothing I've seen out of any team in the NFC that has the potential to beat Seattle the way they've been playing. In the AFC Denver's big play potential might make them nervous....but outside of that? They're probably taking the ship. Pete isn't gonna let Gronk get off so the Pats wouldn't really have a shot.

 

[Spade]

Patriots on upset alert. Suspect secondary notwithstanding, Baltimore is sneaky balanced on offense, not scared to play in Foxboro, and with Suggs/Dumervil can get after Brady.

Newton can't be fully healthy. Improved Panthers defense aside, Carolina will be no match for Seattle, I think. It'll be a low-scoring, 24-10 sort of deal.

Indy is about to get its shyt torn out of the fukking frame by Peyton's Posse.

Dallas ought to be afraid of Green Bay. If the Packers can make the game a shootout, I'm taking Rodgers. I think the Packers are a worse matchup for Dallas than Seattle is.

For Dallas they are and I've said this for months. I think the only saving grace for them is the weather. Thank gawd it's not November.

Packers are lethal in cold weather passing. See last week vs DET and Rodgers numbers in the cold. I think the weather is gonna effect Romo and the passing game big time. They need to establish the run to hang with the Packers. Packers are gonna be the more balanced offense out there next week cuz they can throw and run in the cold.

If Dallas can get by Packers they would be my favourite to make it to SB even over Seahawks.

Next week in the cold will be a massive test for them.

Probably my biggest fear. The run defense has been one of the best in the NFL for GB since the bye week (ranked #23 overall now but was #32 in the first half of the year) and playing Clay at ILB more but every time we go one and done the last three years some shid like this happens

2011: turnovers vs. NYG
2012: Kaep rushing for 181 yards
2013: losing all our OLBs, Micah Hyde dropping an INT that Kaep put on his hands

So I'm expecting Murray to run all over us and a one legged Aaron Rodgers being our only chance to avoid a 2nd straight home playoff loss.

I hope the fukkery goes in our favor, for once in the playoffs since 2010

I hope your timeline is correct.
Let the LOB go ham on Tate

Don't be a pu$$y, if u want a win, u gonna have to take it. Caldwell shoulda went for that 4th and 1. He called the gm like a poon and he lost.

Nothing new, he did the same shyt with the Colts

 

[Rob's al Ghul]

Colts and Cowboys are getting demolished next week

Ravens might get to another Super Bowl

Stafford and Dalton are trash (but we already knew that)

Don't jinx 'em, fam!

They'll have their work cut out on Saturday. We know they ain't scared of NE, especially at Gillette, but that's a big, tough secondary they're facing. The Smiths need to be on point. Would help if Jacoby could stretch the field some, too.

 

[BmoreGorilla]

Tom is still da Gawd. Easy work next week for the GOAT.

Nonsense. Brady hates playing the Ravens and Suggs was all over the field against the Steelers. Suggs hates Brady maybe even more than Big Ben so Brady better hope the refs are on his side like they usually are with the bullshyt calls

 

[Daniels]

Colts have a realistic shot against Denver. Broncos have been awful the past few weeks

 

[b. woods]

Ravens will be no pushover for the Pats...Suggs is going to be a one man wrecking crew...

Colts will get washed since they can't run the ball and when they do they have to give it to a guy who fumbles all the time...

Jason Garret goes for it on 4th down twice...one for a touchdown one keeps the game winning touchdown drive alive...Caldwell goes for it on 4th down by trying to draw the cowboys defense offsides...that is pretty much all you need to know to know who won this game...

Seattle and Panthers defense are going to have to play almost perfect because neither offense can consistently score...If someone gets up 14 - 0 quick the game will be over...

People keep waiting for Romo to fukk up and it is not going to happen this year...

I hate whenever the Saints try to pull that shyt, as teams have caught on to it.

 

[duckbutta]

I hate whenever the Saints try to pull that shyt, as teams have caught on to it.

It was especially doing it to Dallas who's front 4 played well yesterday, but have been pretty bad all year before that...

Dallas is 28th and sacks...meaning their linemen don't get a jump off the ball even when you hike it...and you going to try and convert a 4th down by getting them to jump when you don't hike it

Cuckold Caldwell does it again...

Need to find a gif of Stafford doing the after the swagboyz didn't fall for it

 

[LastEmperor2k2]

Dallas is in big trouble if Murray doesn't get going, but I believe they can beat GB.

Seattle is gonna completely obliterate Carolina.

Ryan Lindley has no place in this level of football.

Dalton and Lewis just can't get the job done in any way.

Ravens should scare the AFC, they got the pedigree and the coaching and Joey Playoffs could go on a run.

dikkriding Refs love the attention

...and Killas Season has returned
