That all being said, these are the Bengals that beat Denver recently, so who the fuck knows.
Bengals have one and done any playoff games they've been in for the last 25 years. AJ Green is likely to be out, Dalton remains inconsistent at best and the Colts shut them out a few weeks ago. You're good to go with the Colts. Even fans here in town don't expect a win. Ed: This is glorious. Taiwan news preview of Dallas Vs. Detroit. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HQV4HISN5LI&app=desktop |

Cardinals/Panthers - what a game. That game is proof that we do not need to expand the playoffs at all. We already have too many shitty teams in there as it is. Carolina does not deserve to be in the playoffs. Ryan Lindley clearly does not belong on an NFL practice squad, much less in a live, for really realz playoff game. For that matter, neither does Arizona's punter or Carolina's punt returner. When did special teams coaches start teaching punt returners to run up and try to grab a shitty, bouncing punt with 6 defensive players around it? It's a wonder he didn't lose more fumbles. I feel bad for Arizona because their injury list is just insane but seriously, could they not find ANYBODY more capable than Ryan Fucking Lindley? Shit, was Tebow busy? At least he's won a playoff game.
Steelers/Ravens proved just how much the Steelers need Le'veon Bell. Now we get to see another week of Flacco's FiveHead and Unibrow.

Logan Thomas must be some special variety of awful to get beat out by Ryan Lindley. Lindley might be the worst playoff QB I've ever seen.
Accuracy of Kaepernick. Decision making ability of Jay Cutler. Arm of Manziel. The perfect shitty QB.

The Seahawks WON a playoff game with Tavaris fucking Jackson at the helm. Lindley is just so much worse it is unreal. Not really looking forward to playing them twice next year if they find a QB. They are a damned good team. I think the Lions are going to beat Dallas, but if not LOL @ Carolina coming to Seattle. If our offense unfucks itself it could get ugly fast. Defense will score almost for sure. |

Oh make no mistake, Carolina is going to get curbstomped by any team left in the playoffs, and I include the Lions in that. If Arizona's defense hadn't been on the field for 90% of the game, they might have been able to stuff the run and at that point, it's on Cam Newton's decisions. That doesn't impress me. I'm almost positive any of the AFC teams in the playoffs (including the Bengals) could beat them.

That's the best half of football I've seen from the Lions in a long time. They dominated the boys in all areas. But it's only a half of football.
Go Lions!

Pity they will get drummed next week. I would like to see them come back to Seattle.

Yeah, I'm thinking the Packers are going to kill them 'Boys. They needed a SERIOUSLY questionable non-call from the refs to pull that one out. Also, Matt Stafford really is a choker at this stage of his career. Also also, the Lions still can't keep their heads in tense situations and keep drawing flags they don't need to at times they really really could do without penalties. Still, they should have won that game. I saw no reason for them to pick up that flag whatsoever.
Ahhh, the Bengals. Just can't stop shitting the bed in the playoffs, can you? At least they didn't turn the ball over. Or move the chains. Or stop the Colts. Or do anything at all to win.
Next round:
Seattle over Carolina - by a very wide margin
Green Bay over Dallas
Denver over Indy
New England over Baltimore

I think this sets up very nicely for a New England-Seattle Super Bowl. I just don't see anyone beating either team at home. If that is the case, I will not watch. Is it possible for a Super Bowl to end in a tie?

A Seattle-GB championship game would be bloody awesome, and I don't know who I'd give the edge to in that matchup.

Seattle. Playing at home with that defense? They should have no problem. The Packer's defense is ok at best. If Rodgers has an off game, it won't be close.

So what's your opinion on the non-call? I think the Detroit guy initiated the contact and then held his facemask. The pic Ozzu posted shows exactly why I think it's a no-call. You can faceguard in the NFL, but you can't run through a guy. Given the contact by Detroit, I think it's at worst offsetting penalties in that you have an illegal contact and an offense facemask or hands to the face. Maybe you get another play in that regard. Still, I think a no-call is the right call, and the official nearest to the play didn't throw a flag. Also, that's not the back judge's call to make that far away from the play unless he sees a hand around the back, or a hold, or something the close official didn't see. There was none of that. People want to say there was contact and then completely ignore the Detroit players hand literally on the defender's facemask for a solid second before the play. |

I can understand and even agree with this rational explanation of this play. However, it was called PI and announced PI. Now all the sudden it is reviewable and arguable after the fact without undisputed evidence? OK. Fine. Still comes off as completely shady when a penalty is called and announced and then just picked up and dismissed like nothing ever happened. As for the facemask, if the defender was playing the ball, he could have tried turning his head at which the facemask should have been called as the shoulders would have been turned and the facemasking would have been obvious. Otherwise, it looks like a stiffarm - which I am not saying is legal in that situation. My opinion on it, there was ticky-tack contact on the play actually and the defender only made full contact after the ball hit him in the back so it would have been a no-call. That said, Dez should have been flagged for his on-the-field protest, which should have netted a first down regardless of the previous play's outcome (penalty or not). How Dez does not get flagged for a completely stupid reaction is beyond me in this year of the yellow flag. That completely deflated the Lions play and permanently shifted momentum. Bad turn of events that cost a team an opportunity. and for the record, I did pick the Cowboys so I am not crying in my cereal - but I still think the Lions got jobbed. |

Two things on your points.
1 - The NFL has made an emphasis on calling offensive facemasks this year that would have previously been disregarded as stiffarms, as well as hands to the face. You can stiff arm a guy anywhere but in the facemask. Once you make contact there, or grab there, which it's clear the receiver did, it's a penalty in this season.
2 - Most NFL officials will tell you that players from the sidelines get on the field all the time when they shouldn't. It's not an immediate penalty. Most of the time you're issued what's called a sideline warning if it's the first offence, then you are given a flag after that. There had been no warning up to that point, and the officials are unlikely to just start flagging guys for being on the field. It's a constant movement of players on and off the field between plays. It would have been a warning at worst.

As to point 2 - helmets are required though. |
