NFL Playoffs Conference Championship Week: Can we have a controversy free weekend, please?

It looked to me like I do when I get stoned. I know precisely what I want to say, and what I mean, but when I say things the words come out completely wrong. Manning appeared to have that level of frustration. He knows that he has 1 on 1 coverage on the deep routes and should be able to hit that pass. That's what the right play is. And he can't do it. It's not about his arm strength - his passes were long enough - it was his accuracy. It was just gone.

Interestingly enough, this is very close to what I was saying about Muhammad Ali; Ali himself said that once those reflexes go, you can see the punch coming, you just can't get out of the way; you want to throw the punch, but you can't.

Basically, Manning can either give you long, inaccurate passes or short, accurate ones.

Manning's comments AFTER the game do not sound like a guy who is definitely coming back. He is obviously disappointed, but nobody knows his body as well as him; and therefore nobody knows what he has been going through more than him. I don't know if he is going to retire, but he sounds like a guy who is, possibly, clearing his throat, waiting for his close up.

Good one. Just curious, you do it for fun or is it in your line of work?

I stole that one, to be perfectly honest. I maybe make roughly a quarter of the images I post. I'm a meme thief... :blushing:

And it's pretty easy to make those images with a caption. I certainly do not qualify as a professional when it comes to anything done with a computer. You can use Google Image to find just about any sort of image that you can recall, say a pop culture reference like that Zoolander pic used in the last meme. Then you just open a photobucket account for easy download and storage on your computer, and utilize a site like IMG Flip to add the text.

My prediction for the Championship Games? Pain.



Gonna guess there's never been two championship games where the home team beat the visiting team by 20+ during the regular season. I hope Andrew Luck can singlehandedly match up with the evil empire. I also doubt it. And fully healthy Aaron Rodgers lost to the Seahawks by 20. What's gimpy-calf-injury-possibly-deer-antler-spray-using Aaron Rodgers gonna do? Besides have cable instead of DirecTV.



These weren't the match-ups I wanted. They're the ones we deserve.

My world is collapsing.

I'd suggest editing this out, to keep your legend status intact.

If editing doesn't work, maybe using this will help erase what I just read.

Let's not be too hasty to crown New England and Seattle...

I agree.

The Pats win against the Colts (in Indianapolis, btw... probably relevant) a few weeks ago primarily by running the football. Well, Jonas Gray has been persona non-grata since that Colts win; he's rusty and may not even get into the game. Which means we have to rely on LeGarrett Blount... and when was the last time THAT guy had a big game rushing?

... yeah but that was like a year ago.

Actually, give the Colts credit: they did something that is hardly EVER done. They went on the road and beat Peyton Manning in Manning's first game in the playoffs. When you consider the year Manning had, you can see how RARE that is... that hardly ever happens.

Oh, and here: http://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/200601150clt.htm

And this time: http://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/200801130clt.htm

Oh, and who could forget this time: http://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/200901030sdg.htm

Oh, and FUCK I totally forgot that this actually happened: http://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/201101080clt.htm

And then there was this CLASSIC: http://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/201301120den.htm

I mean, other than all those times Manning went one-and-done in the playoffs... I mean...

...too... too soon?

Look, all kidding aside, Andrew Luck is the future of the NFL and he can move the ball down field and Chuck Pagano is a very good head coach; that D has suddenly stepped up and this looks to be a very competitive game. Really, all kidding aside, and ignoring the fact that the Colts and Pats played eight weeks ago... and the Pats utterly annihilated the Colts... and the game was at Indy... And that Andrew Luck was the Colts leading rusher...

We're onto Indianapolis...

Oh, fuck ETA: This time: http://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/200001160clt.htm

I told you all week. And you people really wanted this bum to go to New England? This was a mercy kill. Luck didn't crush Manning's last season, he fell on the blade for him. Now it will be the Colts that get obliterated next week, so that Manning's career can end on the aforementioned whimper instead of in a pathetic bloodbath.

Oddly, I kinda like this post.

Me, too! I thought it'd be interesting to see the old warhorses go at it one more time with the added story line of whether PFM could finally win the big one in Foxboro? What I didn't realize is that not only is PFM seemingly done but he probably has been for awhile now.

It certainly will be interesting to see if Peyton hangs 'em up or not?

Ok, so everyone beats PFM in the playoffs. But Rock, who beats Andy Dalton?

A special sonofagun, that's for sure.

Let's see...

Schaub in 2011 and 2012

Felipe last season

Andrew Luck

The math checks out, these are all special sons of guns.

Actually one of those Schaub years was TJ Yates. Or as he's colloquially known Touchdown Jesus Yates. Super special!
