The 2014 NFL Playoffs Thread

[NorthCoastBias]

I'll never understand the pissing match when discussing QBs. If you're a fan of the game, just watch and appreciate the ones who are so good at their craft and work at getting even better. I, for one, enjoy watching both Rodgers and Luck play the position and don't really give a shit who some talking head on the teevee says is better.

I hate watching manning play. all the audibles and audibles get tiresome.

He is one of the greatest QBs of all time. How can you get sick of that? He's a mastermind. Do you prefer a QB that hikes the ball, Looks and sees his first option is covered and then just takes off running?

It's the whole ordeal of the broadcast. Announcers gushing and gushing. Manning doing his theatrical thing at the line. It just gets boring to watch. Shrug. Manning/Brady part 5 or 6 is going to die over overhype.

At this point I've been watching Manning choke for basically my entire adult life. Dude has only won one title, should have more.


And Knowshon Moreno just screams PEDs. Borderline out of football and suddenly he's a borderline untackleable god. RB's don't typically get better in year 5 or suddenly start staying healthy. (Obviously all of this is pure conjecture, he's probably a nice guy)

Great another Manning vs Brady game. The NFL must love this but honestly if you're not a DEN/NE fan than this game is not as exciting as ESPN will hype it up to be. I enjoyed watching Kobe vs Lebron when Lebron was here moe than any Manning/Brady game. Everytime they play immediately their supporting cast gets overshadowed and forgot about. All season their supporting guys will get praise but as soon as they match up it's all out the window.

NE 38
DEN 20

I don't want to see Tom Brady in another Superbowl but I mdon't think there is a chance that Manning won't have another horrible playoff performance with at least 2 picks.

Manning has choked so much because he also plays for his defense right? Give me a break. Not saying he has never choked but come on man.

I'm not a Broncos or Pats fan. But I'm a football fan. I love watching these two competitors go at each other's defense. You guys don't realize how good these two players are and how much better they make their offense.

I will cheer for the AFC champion in the Super Bowl over Seattle or San Francisco.

I hope the Niners win so that the stupid annoying steeler fans I know who are obsessed with titles that happened 35 years ago get all pissy cause someone else has 6 super bowls. Who gives a fuck.

I'm not "obsessed", but I would prefer they didn't. That being said. I have no rooting interest in the remaining teams and would rather see the AFC win in general. Indifferent on San Francisco and don't like Seattle.

I hope SF or SEA win because I prefer to watch the type of football that involves mobile QB's doing special things.

I should clarify that I rooted for the Niners in last year's Super Bowl. I am a raised, diehard Steelers fan, and I couldn't root for the Ravens to win it all. That being said, although I don't root for New England, I would rather they win than Seattle or SF. Denver as well.

My picks:

New England 32-31
San Francisco 29-23

Am I crazy for taking the Patriots +4 in Denver?

Not at all. It's Brady going against a defense that is really hurting right now. Lost their best CB. It's going to be a shoot out.

I really hope Manning wins this game and the next.

Denver vs Seattle for the Super Bowl.

I'm so conflicted. I hate the Patriots but I have money on them. But fuck the Seahawks and the 49ers. With the Eagles and the Panthers out these playoffs suck for me now.

I'm in the same boat. I like Peyton but I can't stand seeing Elway's horse face at every timeout or TD pass Manning throws. It's also pretty impressive what NE has done. "We lost our top 3 receivers? No problem, we'll just turn this 7th round QB from Kent State into the next Wes Welker. And we'll also just become an amazing power run team." I don't know how they keep doing it every year.
