NFL Divisional Playoffs Open Thread

PrintThe NFL has two games on tap today. If you've even glanced at a TV with ESPN on it, undoubtedly you'll have seen that Tim Tebow and the Broncos will play the New England Patriots tonight at 8pm. Once again this week ESPN embarrassingly dedicated an hour of Sportscenter to the cult of Tebow and mentioned his name 160 times. If Denver were to beat the Pats tonight, ESPN may just scrap its format altogether.
Three weeks ago, the Pats went to Denver and blew them out.
Stuck in the most irrelevant time slot of the weekend is what should be a pretty good game. The Saints travel to San Fran at 4:30 today in classic irresistible force vs immovable object matchup. The 49ers #2 ranked defense will try to stop Drew Brees and the Saints #2 ranked offense. The X factor here is how the Saints perform outside. Dome teams are awful outside in the playoffs and the Saints themselves put on one of the great choke jobs of all time last year losing to the 7-9 Seahawks. San Francisco isn't quite Seattle however and it should be a pretty comfortable 60 degrees around game time.

Give me a break, that was not PI

Helmet to Helmet?
I thought it looked like helmet to helmet, especially when you saw him go limp and the football just sorta dropped out and he made no effort to grab it even though it was right in his arms when he was laying on the turf….
He wasn't defenseless though.
He established his self as a runner so it was a legal hit.
I think that’s how it works.
"I once had a friend named Charlie, and Charlie was always late to school
He had a black eye one day, but he wouldn’t say just what happened to him
Charlie got mad in class one day, and stood up with a .22 pistol
Told everybody that he couldn’t take it anymore, he was over being the victim"
yea

I was like “what the hell” also, but then… it worked. The thing is even more than Reid, with the 9’ers you expect a run from 3 yds out. I guess they knew the Saints would expect it and kept trying to fake them out. I’m not for tricks and illusions non-stop, but sometimes they do work.
The thing is that our offense is built that way.
We have Vick to scramble if the play breaks down. They have Alex Smith.

by Clint Eastwood on Jan 14, 2012 5:17 PM EST via mobile up reply actions
Speaking of
Vick hesitating in scrambling (forwards) too many times this year I felt. Whatever was going on with the passing schemes, it was too rigid. Shoulda been kept more fluid.
Anyway after this last series, I do agree though that this 49ers play calling is a head scratcher.
Looks like the Saints can’t play on the West Coast, lol

I've been saying all year...
teams need to stop returning deep kicks. There’s nothing bad about starting at the 20!!!
Kickoff returns give you 3 things:
1) Risk of turnover
2) risk of injury
3) frequent tackles inside the 20
4) occasional return past the 30, which gets called back by penalty 90% of the time.
Why bother? Just take a touchback. Especially if you have an offense like the Saints. I was screaming at Dion Lewis all year when he’d return kicks 5 yards deep and get tackled at the 15… ugh
4 TO!?!?!
Damn Saints.

Ried just didn't pull the trigger often beyond 50.
Akers was always money. He had 1 bad playoff game and you keep bashing him. It was a big game, but Akers was gold for years.

Dude, Akers rules. Yes he lost us some heart-wrenching playoff games, but I mean not many Eagles have given this organization more of themselves than him.
I don’t hate him… I thought the billboard thing was very classy.
It just would hurt me personally if he shows up and wins the game for the 49ers when he was possibly the deciding factor in our last two close playoff losses. I’m sure many Eagles fans would find it frustrating.

3) frequent tackles inside the 20
4) occasional return past the 30, which gets called back by penalty 90% of the time.
Why bother? Just take a touchback. Especially if you have an offense like the Saints. I was screaming at Dion Lewis all year when he’d return kicks 5 yards deep and get tackled at the 15… ugh
Yeah, pretty much with these new rules.

This is definitely setting up to end on an Akers missed FG.

I don’t know the X’s and O’s very well… was it schematically prevent? or just bad defense?
