My predictions...

 

Falcons will roll the Cards

The Chargers should be easily beaten by the Colts, but this game has "upset" written all over it

The Eagles will embarrass the "not yet ready for prime time" Vikes

And I have no idea who will win in the Dolphins/Ravens game. I'll go with the Ravens

It should come down to who runs the ball better.

Both the Cards and the Bolts ran the ball better and that's why they won.

Of course the Chargers had a few close calls that went their way(refs making up for the Hocili call?) and Manning more than outplayed Rivers, but the Colts don't trust their running backs to pick up a 3 and 2 with 2 minutes to go in regulation. If they pick up a measly 2 yards the game was over with the Chargers having no timeouts left.

True, true...Some day these super QB's will realize, I hope, that this is in fact a team sport!

 

San Diego has some very talented runners, of course, playing the what if game, :), if #43 of SD SPokes or Stokes or ? would not have fumbled on the Colts 1 yard line in the third...

Let's see, yesterday's games were both close and both exciting to watch, which means today's games will probably be boring blowouts.

Well in Indys case they don't have a choice but to throw the ball. Their running backs are average at best and their O line can't open any holes this year for some reason.

 

While that's true about Sproles fumble and they could of scored they also got a score at the end of the first half after Chambers(I think) had that 3rd down catch on the sideline which was in fact an incompletion since he didn't get both feet in. Of course the Indy defense still could of stopped them but back in Week 2 San Diego also had the same chance to stop Denver after the Hocili call, but the media and the Charger fans can't stop talking about that one. I'm just sick of this "poor old Chargers" bullshit from the media over that Hocili call in week 2. Lets face it it was a bad call but the Chargers still could of won that game. On top of that you can't blame Hocili for them starting out 4-8. That's all on them.

NFL needs to change some of their stupid f**king rules...i don't give a d*mn if the Chargers won their division-they were freaking 8-8.Season record should dictate home playoff games.Same with Pats-i hate the Pats but c'mon 11-5 teams missing the playoffs is BS!

I think they should just have two divisions with four wild cards and then that probably would never happen.

Unfortunately the Owners voted for this change and were made aware that this was a possibility when the change was made.

Well looks like I'm 2 for 2 this week...man did Miami look like shit.

 

And Minnesota just couldn't hold it together... Oh well.

 

 

 

Here is next weeks schedule, what do you all think?

 

Divisional Round

 

Sat., Jan. 10, 4:30 p.m. ET, CBS

Baltimore (11-5, 1-0)at Tennessee (13-3)

 

Sat., Jan. 10, 8:15 p.m. ET, FOX

Arizona (9-7, 1-0)at Carolina (12-4)

 

Sun., Jan. 11, 4:45 p.m. ET, CBS

San Diego (8-8, 1-0)at Pittsburgh (12-4)

 

Sun., Jan. 11, 1 p.m. ET, FOX

Philadelphia (9-6-1, 1-0)at N.Y. Giants (12-4)

 

 

 

For me on Saturday: Baltimore will take down Tennessee and Arizona will stun Carolina (wishful thinking, but hey?)

 

And on Sunday: Pittsburgh will make San Diego cry and I hate both teams, all in part due to their QB's, but I will go with Philly over the Giants.

Well the Eagles are on to the next round. It was an ugly performance offensively, but a win is a win and style points don't count.

 

Hoping the Eagles can win 2 in a row at NYC!

With all the blitzing the Vikings did, I must have screamed "screen pass" about 50 times.

Tomorrow, can't wait for that Steelers game!!!

Yeah no shit The Titans gave that game away. 2 fumbles and a interception in the red zone.

Also what was up with the no call on the last Ravens drive when the play clock had obviously expired.

That was pretty damn strange IMO. I would of thought that the booth would of said wait a minute and reviewed that on their own. I'm not saying that that lost the game but they completed that big pass to Heap on that very play so that could of changed momentum for sure.

 

As for the Cardinal game yeah they beat the hell out of them and I think it's awesome.

I'd love to see Warner win another Super Bowl so he can give these :2up: to St. Louis. :lol:

AFC: I hate Pittsburgh. Go Ravens.

 

The NFC game is tough as hell to pick. The Eagles bitchslapped Arizona on Thanksgiving, but that was a different Arizona team. At the same time, no one has been giving the Eagles a chance to do ANYTHING for the last 2 months and they've only been proving everyone wrong.

 

My heart is with my Eagles, but this could be a TOUGH game.

    • As it is released now... Overall I really like like. Even if you'll hate me for this, I think I prefer their new stuff over their 80's hits. There's not a single song I don't like on this album just some little details. In the past they used to have more backing vocals. This time they often concentrate on "Aaaw"s. That makes some of rhe hooklines a bit smaller than they are. Here and there I feel the vocals are too loud in the mix. Especially in the last song. Next to the singles, "Speed of Darkness", "Live by Fire", "In my hands", "automatic survival" and "Waiting is the way" are really great in my ears
    • I think it's still a good album but it doesn't feel complete to me. Having 13 songs on "Nothing but wild" or 9 songs and a cover is a difference... There's one ballad but more of a country ballad. I loved their power ballads and I miss one one this album. I also miss the heavier side. Even the heavy songs on this album are quite soft...
    • I don't mind any of the three tracks, to be fair. The new single is the best of the bunch, imo, but for me it's missing an obvious hook. The chorus part just seems to happen, and happens, but doesn't leave something to chew on. The cover is tacky, but is what it is. First song still 50/50, but overall it's all serviceable. If there's an album due I hope it's more than "serviceable" but I find myself just happy to hear new music from them. 
    • Spun this the other day, knowing nothing about them. I came away quite impressed. A few nice cuts like 'Rodeo,' 'Not sorry,' 'Jackhammer' and 'Not afraid.' As for what it is, it's just hard rock to me. I guess slightly modern, but I find it wild that something like this would need further clarification that just hard rock.  
    • I've enjoyed a few recent releases from these guys but gotta admit I was a bit underwhelmed by this. 'Attracted To Danger' was my favourite track but for me it falls short of at least the album two releases back. I think the last one was a bit lukewarm for me too. Okay for what it is. 
    • Haha, I have actually used that one a bit, cob. You think it makes a big difference? Always so hard to tell which prompts land and which don't when you use 10 or so prompts. But I'll be sure to keep that one up front, though. And play with it tonight.  I used the "big production" one again last night and songs were definitely crisper than the night before when a lot of my results were very "treble-y" for lack of a better term. So big production and big drums up high in the mix tonight.  Anyway, peaks and troughs. I'm going through a passage where I'm penning a whole bunch of new tracks. I do a lot of driving, but also a quite a bit of walking for my job, and I've got in the habit of jotting stuff down in my Notes app whenever something comes to me as I walk around, and trying to pump out a few new tunes. A few by-the-numbers melodic rock tracks mostly, but I got one yesterday and I really loved the outcome. A bit of a more "random" tune, but I'll be cursed if I don't actually quite like how this one came out; https://suno.com/song/885e4b14-3e08-45cf-8e33-d2e1cfd04e42
    • I have to agree sadly.  I've said it before, but Steve's passing showed that Gotthard were basically a Steve Lee backing band.
    • I guess this is a bit of a Gotthard appreciation thread now. Their debut is the best for me (I was lucky enough to own this when it was first released). Followed closely behind by the others mentioned.  Here's three of my favourites from the debut. "Angel" was the first Gotthard song I heard and was blown away by. "Firedance" is a Killer with a Killer guitar solo featuring guest guitarist Vivian Campbell and "Hush" is the first in their long line of great cover tracks.          
    • This is the correct answer. With Steve, I assume, is what you mean. 
    • Domino Effect, Lipservice, and Need to Believe were the last with Steve, and are all quite different. G. is my favourite album of theirs. The debut and Dial Hard are pretty much the exact same sound, but I could only pick one, because they asked for five suggestions. ;}
