Playoffs Game Thread - Sunday

by ChiFan13 on Jan 4, 2009 7:00 AM CST Comment 69 comments

AFC Game:

Baltimore @ Miami - 12 CST (CBS)

NFC Game:

Philadelphia @ Minnesota - 3:30 CST (FOX)

I'm showing up on this thread at 3.30 and I hope some of you join me.

After being in Minnesota for the past five days and getting my fair share of one-fingered salutes for the Chicago Bears license plate holder on my car, I'm looking forward to the Vikings fans shutting up.

you must be talking about those fans that can’t even create a sell-out playoff game… I think that says enough about Minn. fans.

Yeah

they’ve got some great fans up there. First time the league has ever extended two extra days to avoid a blackout. Only 55% of season-ticket holders picking up their playoff tickets? I wouldn’t be surprised to see A LOT of Eagles fans there.

Ed Reed is ridiculous

Ray Lewis can’t really do anything anymore though, except showboat.

You know what’s great? Going to the local sports bar and asking what time the Pats play.

We’re not actually here to discuss the games, are we -_-

Insert clever and witty remark slash pun here!

I love watching the Ravens play defense

Beautiful football.

Ed Reed is amazing

Always one of my favorite players to watch…

That's no joke

But the Eagles are starting to look better and better throughout each drive.

they need to

wear down the vikes D if they want to win. And they need to blitz more effectively to rattle jackson

ESPN is reporting that even if they lose McNabb is expected back in Phily

And they’d be horribly stupid to get rid of him.

by halfblindcubbiegirl on Jan 4, 2009 6:21 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs

Yes they would....

But, one can only have hope that he wears Chicago Bears navy blue before he becomes an old fart.

They gave out the person's email?

Nice – very effing classy. If you don’t like a troll then ban them, but why give out the email?

Man, I just went back and read the post of the troll they outed

I mean, am I missing something? Those were really tame comments for that kind of a retaliation by the person who runs a blog. We’ve had a lot harsher comments here by all kinds of fans from other teams, and I’m pretty sure Windy never did anything like that. Bad form. Maybe that’s more common practice than I realize, tho

Grateful I am,

always have been. If any blog gave out the email addresses of the people who frequented it, I’d think even those who were fans of the team would stop going there, just in case.

How about this one???

“I can not stand hot dogging. There’s a difference between celebrating a good play and hot dogging. What Samuel did after his TD (It appeared that he was simulating masturbating with the football to me), and DeSean Jackson getting up in Childress’ face after his last long punt return are in my opinion, unacceptable. If all is right in the NFL, there should be fines brought down on both of them. Lord knows if it had been Vikings that had done that, there would be fines.”

Posted on the Norseman site, it is a great example of the fantasy world Vikes fans live in. Does he really watch the game and see the Viking players celebrate after every play?? Every tackle??
