Helped by Pete Carroll's mistakes, the Niners won over the Seahawks on Sunday evening. Interesting game.

LOL @ Pete Carroll. I heard Fred Smerlas say once that Pete squats when he pees.

Not sure about that, but I'd like to yank that friggin' gum out of his mouth and stick it . . . well, you know. I can't even stand a 5-second camera scan of him and that damned gum. My jaw aches just watching him.
 

Your probably aware Carroll 'ran away' from USC as he knew NCAA investigators were breathing down his neck, behavior he had his stamp on.
He's a good argument for QB calling plays.
 
Getting really interesting now .. the Texans/Bills should be a great one.... with the announcers talking about the OILERS deboggle over & over again.:devilish:

It seems to me that Tom Brady really needs to give retirement serious consideration. They all agonize over it when the time comes.
 

Just can't see bb and brady losing in playoffs this sunday, and can't see them beating ravens

buffalo does not have a qb, heck of a running attact, but
Texans, up and down and roundabout, hard to predict how their going to deal with any playoff game. jj is back, he was a cheerleader, maybe he can slow down buffalo's run game

So picks
Pats
now I weasel, buffalo or texans, one of the other
 
I am stymied, (or flummoxed) on picks for Saturday.o_O
Both games could go either way, easily!:oops:

Sunday.... I cant see Saints losing to Minn Vikings.
Or Seattle losing to Phil Eagles.

So am i allowed by rule :LOL:
to skip pics for Sat , and only pick for Sunday?

Or do we not have any idea how to enforce the rule or what the rule means?!:ROFLMAO:
 
Have no idea if i answered this previously but i have an NFL game pass so i can watch all the Packers games over here.Number two seeds in the playoffs i believe and have had a great defense this year.Superbowl beckoning.
 
As the pundits tell me: BB and Brady have run out of gas.
There in the wrong league for me to follow; however, I occasionally watch a game during the regular season.
You have to admire the excellence they've display for over a decade; so let them ride off into the sunset, but don't
forget what was...

They have two players on offense, virtually none on defense-How Do They Do It?

Hate to see them go, You Measure your team against the Pats when they play a game. Cowboys could always 'get up' for a game against the Pats, It is difficult to be the best, every opponent is primed to put up their best struggle against 'the best.'
 
Pats to win by 7
Bills at Houston-Bills without a qb may fall victim to Houston's defense and running attack-pick houston
Those used to win-win
Then not used to winning have how to learn how

Rule #1: There are no rules!

I never pick games, I just watch ones that I hope will be good. If I don't care about either team then I probably won't watch it (regular season).

Most playoff games are good, but not all. But I'm glad I can see all four this weekend in my living room. :)

I'm with you ... both should be great games to watch though.

(I just don't want to see a score of 35-3 anywhere in that first game ... grrrrrrrr:eek:)

Being a Bills' fan, I will be very interested in both of today's games.

Tomorrow? Not so much. I didn't even know the Vikings were in the hunt until last weekend. But the Saints should be fun to watch.

And then the Seahawks vs. Iggles. My (very) elderly neighbors are big Iggles fans, so I'll be rooting for the 'Hawks," lol.

I had been thinking of asking you,
"But won't you miss being with the neighborly people while they are yelling at and throwing things at their TV?" :LOL:

Then, I read on with the posts.....
And I think I already found the answer. :sneaky:

:ROFLMAO:

*********
Overnight my stress level went up ;)
as I realized and considered that I don't know how to root, or who to root for or against,

because Bonnie is a Houston fan and OldD is a Bills fan. I try to be supportive.
OH no, what should I do? o_O:eek::oops:

Maybe Jerry could give me some advice on this awful dilemma. :ROFLMAO:

Well, thankfully I guess,
who I decide to "root for" has never seemed to have any effect on gameday results in the past. LOL

As I live in New England so I'm a Pats fan, but I don't mind if they win or lose, today....
I comprehend that the entire country will root against them, and that's understandable and okay by me.

WHat I DO mind, is I don't want to listen all game long, during the broadcast,
to repetitions of topics we already know are issues.... How many times.....will they repeat them?

Me: " Let's just watch the game today, please..."

How many times will they repeat, DURING the game,
this might be Brady's last game as a Patriot. Or his last game ever. Or will he retire? Or Which team would he go to, if he goes to a different one next year?

Me:
"I know, let's just watch this game, please."

How many times will they repeat, this might be Josh McDaniels last game with Patriots (Assistant coach, OC) ...he has at least 3 interviews for Head Coach.... which team might he go to?

Me: "I know, let's just watch this game, please."

How many times will they repeat, this might be the last Brady/Coach BB game we ever see them together....when will Coach BB retire? Will he coach forever? Could either of them be successful on a team without eachother?

Me: "I know, let's just watch this game, please."

How many times will they repeat, the "dynasty might be over."

Me: "I know, that's okay, let's just watch this game, please."

Well, you get my drift.
IF you have read this, thank you for letting me have my say. :ROFLMAO:

I know that the game announcers will NOT be listening to Me! :LOL:
 
Okay, your a Texan, have to play the Bills
Tradition: The Bill have been there four years, but that was a long time ago. They don't have a qb, we do (not a great qb, but better than the Bills)
We (Houston) have a running back, a guy that can catch a pass and a qb, we outmatch he Bills in these area.

The Bills have a defense, so do we (I do think JJ"s return will give the team a boost, whether he is 100% or not).

WE (Houston) have more and better horses than the Bills do, we will win.
- Texans

(I guess that should be, 'We should win, but you know how it can go sometimes-regardless Tx should win)

Okay your a Titan, you have been told the Pats have a QB and One other player on offense;
We have more game changers than they do.

"But Coach, they always win."
"Naw son they was yesteryear, this is today, they don't have the players that we do."
"But Coach, they always win."

"They have a so-so defense, but so do we."
"But coach they always win."

"Coach, it is easy to learn how to lose, but I'm not sure we know how to win-they (Pats) do."
"Shut up boy."

Titians may give the Pats fit in first half, but THE TRADition OF WINNING will appear in 2nd half: Pats by 7


The Tradition of winning is missing in Hoston vs Bills, making it difficult to pick winner, no so with Pats

LOL, no. They are great people, but I prefer being home so I can totally absorb myself into the games without distractions (but that's only if a game is a nail-biter, right to the end. Otherwise I don't care quite so much).

My sis will probably text me wanting me to meet her and hubby for supper tonight, but I'll turn her down too.

The biggest come-back in NFL history, early '90s playoff game, Houston Oilers @ Bills, Frank Reich was QB. It was blacked out here but I listened to it on the radio. SO ROOT FOR THE BILLS!

EDIT: Too lazy to Google, but I believe the Oilers were ahead at halftime like 35-3, and the Bills came back and won.

On that note: Most of the time that doesn't bother me, but Chris Collinsworth gossips about minutiae WAY too much. I've heard Al Michaels interrupt him more than once cuz Chris was running his mouth after a play started.

Pats: I've always enjoyed watching them since the "Blizzard Bowl" or whatever it was called way back around '99-2000. When they were clicking they were unstoppable, and it was fun to watch. I've never been a Brady or Bellachick hater despite the controversies, and despite them grabbing the AFC East nearly every year, blocking the Bills out (but the Bills usually stunk anyway).

However, their run seems to be over and I will be "rooting" for the Titans. And, IMO, the biggest problem isn't that Brady is 42, it's that they've lost so much other talent on offense.

But we shall see.
 
Old D:
I had forgotten that fiasco, Houston might as well as gone on the sidelines and let the Bills do as they chose-

Okay Bonnie and Kaila, we got'acovered !

Go PATS, GO BILLS
 
What?! :rolleyes:;)

OldD,
you told me why I should root for Bills, and I was nearly convinced,
but then you ended your nice post, with you are rooting against 'my' team?!
:ROFLMAO:

And Jerry, you think we got it all covered, but Bills facing Houston is a big problem, for us,
here at this forum, no?
Isnt Bonnie a Houston fan, and OldD a Bills fan? And they play each other////….

It is a very stressful day, here at the forum, therefore....:LOL:
on the same day that "my team" might be eliminated.
I can hardly take it. :ROFLMAO::LOL:

Great post, Jerry...
but you are missing something here in the AFC.

Patriots opponent today, Tenn. Titans, have a Head Coach who played for the Pats for some years, he has multiple superbowl rings with Pats, AND has many players that are veterans of Pats, too.
So they are not to be intimidated by playing Pats, or their close personal friends, Brady and other past teammates, or by playing at Pats stadium.

Does that change your view? ;)

Houston, the same. The top Coaches, and some players, were with the Pats for years.
Therefore, they do know about winning. hmmmm....:unsure:

***If I could, I would throw some popcorn at OldD, about now, as he is absorbed in the game, and doesnt even want his own sister to interrupt him. :ROFLMAO:

So far, Bills are outplaying Houston, and succeeding with great plays.

HOUSTON FUMBLES! THEY ARE GETTING HUMILIATED.

No, read again, it's been Pat's all the way.

Bills Qb just can't hang onto ball, those are not strips, Houston barely got hand around ball when Bill's qb laid it on the ground.
However, he is playing very, very good.

Not to worry, Houston will 'gut it out.'

You can skip Pat's and Titian's first half, it will just result in worry. Mr. Brady won't do his magic until 2nd half. .

Darn, last 30 seconds confusing, it should not be: "Is it a first down, do we have to kick a field goal, what's going on?

Shoot, it's going into overtime, I hate overtime.! All it does is jingle your nerves.
Somebody win this game so I can settle down.

It turned into a good game in the 4th quarter, so good for Bills and Texans.
I fear the poor Bill QB will take it hard if they lose. Yea, he's made mistakes, but this is his first playoff game, give the kid a break.

Where is Cole Beasly, has he caught a ball.

I don't think that Collinsworth broadcasting the game?



Thank goodness, it's over! I got'a calm down so I watch the Pats and Titans.
