[Average Reds]

If players didn't jump, spearing wouldn't hurt.

[snowmanny]

2 always plays highest remaining seed.

thanks

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Is that right? I thought 3/6 winner played 2.

edit or do they reseed?

Reseed. 1 seed gets the 6 or the 4/5 winner.

 

[patinorange]

Nice throw.

 

[aksoxfan]

Sidearm fail.

 

[soxhop411]

GJGE SD

 

[soxhop411]

He was wide open

 

[brandonchristensen]

That's how you lose it

 

[Average Reds]

Manning almost got the INT there.

 

[PedroKsBambino]

Rivers throw was horrible---he had him

 

[The Big Red Kahuna]

I'm all for home-field throughout, but a guaranteed divisional round matchup against any of "KC/Houston/Cincy" is kinda enticing...

 

[shoosh77]

that was a friggin td with a good throw

 

[Harry Hooper]

Rivers pretty erratic all day.

 

[PedroKsBambino]

Rivers throw was horrible---he had him

 

[Section15Box113]

Still 2 TOs left.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

GJGE SD

Actually they played better than I expected

 

[Kliq]

Ugh why the fuck did we tank the last four games of the season?

 

[( . ) ( . ) and (_!_)]

Not a great team for sure, and not dominant, but I think they have the inside track now. That defense gives them so much margin for error. Overcoming a -4? Great defense with a true home field advantage.

Their defense really fell off the last 1/3 or 1/4 of the season. They are still a good unit but not an unloveable obstacle

 

[Klostrophobic]

RIvers got the memo that they want the better draft pick.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Should have been an easy TD

 

[aksoxfan]

Manning made Rivers misfire that pass.

 

[Section15Box113]

90 ticks. No timeouts.

 

[Kliq]

It's almost a parody at this point with the commentary.

 

[hunter05]

This is Nantz favoritest game ever

 

[CaptainLaddie]

Goddammit.

 

[Mystic Merlin]

AND THE DENVER BRONCOS HAVE WON THE AMERICAN FOOTBALL CONFERENCE.

Look, Demaryius Thomas said so.

 

[soxhop411]

Nantz needs a tissue

 

[Clears Cleaver]

I'm all for home-field throughout, but a guaranteed divisional round matchup against any of "KC/Houston/Cincy" is kinda enticing...

KC is the second best team in the AFC. Statistically they might be first now, not sure. I highly doubt BB is afraid of Denver, cincy w/Mccarron or Houston.he probably is worried about Pittsburgh and KC

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

This commentary is fucking ponderous, man. Fucking ponderous.

 

[Bergs]

Jesus, Nantz. Shut, the fuck, and up.

 

[Section15Box113]

And they convert on the ground.
Game over.

But it was all Peyton, you know.

 

[Sportsbstn]

lol fitting end to the game.

 

[CaptainLaddie]

I'm fucking pissed now. All the Pats had to do was win one game and this wouldn't have mattered.

 

[patinorange]

Actually they played better than I expected

This is true. They have literally no one to throw to and there are injuries all over their roster. Rivers wasn't good today but I really developed some respect for him this year. That game at Green Bay was awesome.

I'm thinking that Denver goes out in the next round, but if they don't I do relish a crack at manning in Denver.

 

[Van Everyman]

Will anyone ask him about HGH in his press conference?

 

[Rook05]

Holy shit, Nantz.

 

[Sportsbstn]

Id love the Pats to go into Denver and end Peyton, but he won't make it that far.

 

[hunter05]

Nantz should just go ahead and call his doctor now.

 

[Klostrophobic]

Manning 5/9 for 69 yards. What a beastly come-from-behind, carry-the-team-on-his-back kind of performance.

 

[soxhop411]

Shut the fuck up Nantz.

 

[BigSoxFan]

Well, this game never should have mattered. But we know this board will melt down if Pats lose an AFCCG in Denver.

 

[alydar]

"There is no story bigger than that one" -- jeezuz, when the announcers are so obviously in the tank for a story, coupled with a league office that is so obviously corrupt / mismanaged, you have to wonder.

 

[aksoxfan]

Why bother with the playoffs. Just give Peyton the Lombardi. How much did they discuss HGHgate?

 

[ShaneTrot]

If Denver goes to the SB, is there any doubt they get smoked by AZ, Seattle or Carolina?

 

[Mugsy's Walk-Off Bunt]

Why is Fox's "The OT" not covering the actual OT being played by St. Louis and SF? (Besides respect for the viewing public, I mean.)

 

[staz]

I like PIT winning at CIN
I like KC winning at HOU

I like PIT winning at DEN
I like NE at home beating KC

I like NE at home beating PIT

 

[jsinger121]

KC is the second best team in the AFC. Statistically they might be first now, not sure. I highly doubt BB is afraid of Denver, cincy w/Mccarron or Houston.he probably is worried about Pittsburgh and KC

Pats will have the 41-14 loss to the Chiefs a year ago as motivation if they play them.

 

[DanoooME]

LOL nice tackling Rams

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

In a game marred by all the PED talk, it was refreshing to see Manning silence the announcers who openly discussed the allegations against him.
