Badger Posted January 5, 2019 Report Share Posted January 5, 2019 Thinking about my tier of who I want to win: -Really just not NE or Dal -Don't care to see Team Nomad (Chargers) or Seattle either, but it would tear me up either. Edit: Probably goes for Philly too upon further review, since they got their last year, although Foles is fun to pull for, so maybe slightly past the previous 2. As far as the rest, divided into conference. NFC: Don't have a problem with Bears, Rams, or Saints. AFC: What have we left KC, Hou, Ind, Ten? Yeah, no problems with those 4 either. Kind of a 7 way tie for who I most want to win. I've always been a little bitter at Houston choosing the dopey Texans moniker over bringing back the Oilers (my favorite team until they fled to Nashville) but kind of minor reason to bring them down (though given this first half, I might as well erase them) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cygnia Posted January 6, 2019 Report Share Posted January 6, 2019 Hubby is pushing for the Bears since he works with Trubisky's dad at his place of business, then I believe it's any team that hasn't won it before. Then it's anyone else save the Pats or the Ravens. Then it's a meteor. Then it's the Pats. And that's it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unclevlad Posted January 6, 2019 Report Share Posted January 6, 2019 OMG If you heard about Allen Hurns' ankle injury but not seen it? NOT!!!!!!!!! NOT!!!!!! NOT!!! suitable for the squeamish. The ankle *very clearly* turns 90 degrees all at once. Yes, Fox was right to not replay it more than once. Feels near certain he's out for all of next year. Best of luck to him.

When did losing Janikowski hurt? They went for 2 after both TDs and made both of em. So that's 2 more points than they would've had. The onside kick? Did ya hear the stats on those this year? 8% when the onside is expected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the Spanish language seems ideal for soccer, and sports in general, because the way it is spoken seems to feed the enthusiasm of the speaker. and that's a perfect fit for sportscasting.

Cancer Posted January 6, 2019 Report Share Posted January 6, 2019 Woot! Jornada 1 Pumas - Veracruz! Scoreless at minute 55. Seriouly, I am watching just about everything muted now. Your points about language are valid, but like you I have no Spanish, and I find sports commentary in English from national network talking heads so insipid and biased that it just aggravates me.

unclevlad Posted January 6, 2019 Report Share Posted January 6, 2019 Well. The extension for John Harbaugh has not been completed. This hideous, inept offensive performance guarantees that there will be speculation it won't be. Well into the 4th now and negative net passing yards, < 100 yards total offense...... The decision to leave Jackson in through the third is gonna draw some wrath, but I think Romo's right there...yanking him early 3rd would've led to complications. Chargers are 9-0 outside LA. Proof POSITIVE they belong in San Diego. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Hopcroft Posted January 6, 2019 Report Share Posted January 6, 2019 Apparently, the Chargers are going to the divisional round. It will be instructive next year to see if a deep enough playoff run will make LA finally care about the Chargers. Of course, with both LA teams in the playoffs this season, has there been any of the same crosstown trash talk we would have been in NYC if the Giants and Jets were both in at this stage of the season?

Badger Posted January 7, 2019 Report Share Posted January 7, 2019 well, for who I preferred winning this weekend my record ends up 1-3 (Indy only). Though I only had a real conviction in the Sea/Dal game ANdy my one win happened to be in the one who I probably cared least about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
