NFL Playoffs Dvisional Round- Open Thread #2

PrintWell, it seems many here are quite happy the Titans became the second team in modern NFL history to lose as the one seed in the playoffs to a sixth seed. Of course, the first one to do that was our Colts losing to the then-sixth seeded Steelers in the 2005 playoffs. But hey, welcome to the club Tennessee! As we always say, seeding in the playoffs is meaningless. Regular season records and accomplishments are meaningless. Anyone can win, anywhere, at anytime in the playoffs. Congrats to the Baltimore Ravens, led my Jimmy Harbaugh's brother, John.
What I hope this loss does is inform the Tennessee faithful that they simply do not know what they are talking about when they talk about "winning" football. Their fans and their players chirped all year. Now, they're done. Hope this gives them their comeuppance, and that next time they show some respect for their betters.
As for the Cardinals v. the Panthers, Arizona is dominating Carolina now. Jake Delhomme just threw at pick on the 2 yard line, and former Colt Edgerrin James is running all over the Panthers D. This is your open thread.

Delhomme...

Cards have 3rd turnover, and still 4:30 left in first half
Go Colts!
Wow, I expected a blowout
But not the Cardinals killing Carolina…

First time back on the site since last Saturday
I went all week without paying attention to football. Didn’t even know who won the Sunday games until talking to people on Monday. All I have to say, is other teams losing definetly makes the loss easier.
Glad karma caught up with Tennessee. GO EDGE & THE CARDINALS!!!
A Tennesse loss is always great...
but as the number one seed, and their first playoff game. That is priceless!
They had the game too… they just kept letting the Ravens back into the game.
Go Colts!

Speaking of which...
where did this Cardinals team come from and why don’t the Panthers cover Fitzgerald???
Especially with Boldin out...
Panthers must have thought it was a cakewalk game. Whoops!
Go Colts!

At least the fox crew has a sense of humor
by pointing out at halftime that every one of them picked the Panthers to win the game.
Go Colts!
Starting to think
that being the 1st or 2nd seed should mean you have the option of a bye week. And as I type that, another interception. Wow.
I had been thinking to myself earlier today
that despite our one-and-out, I was happy at Dungy’s decision to have our guys play the last game of the season, and have them play to win. Even though the starters came out after the various records were set, the tone was win, keep on truckin’ and don’t break the routine.
Arizona mailed it in after they clinched the division
They look to be doing ok last week and this week.
It’s a tired argument. The Titans didn’t lose today because they were off last week.
Don't know about that
Seems like they had a hard time holding on to the ball…. Maybe they forgot how in their two weeks off.

LenDale carries the ball that way all the time
It’s a miracle that doesn’t happen more often.
Crumpler got hit right on the ball. He actually had 2 hands on it, and it was still knocked out.
They scored on their second possession of the game, and became somewhat stagnate after Johnson got hurt. The Ravens cause TOs. It wasn’t because they didn’t play last week.
I was kidding mostly
I do think the Titans gave the game away though.
And after they whipped out those Titans towels three weeks after stomping on the Terrible Towel, they deserved it. Classless squared.

Delhomme has 5 interceptions now...
and the game has 10+ minutes left. Did he watch Favre and Romo highlights over the bye and change his game, or what?
Go Colts!

Daylight gone

We could see a 6 seed v. 6 seed Super Bowl
by Colts Homer on Jan 10, 2009 11:59 PM EST up reply actions
Worse
We could see a Super Bowl pitting a team that went 8-8 in the regular season against one that went 9-7.
Who would have ever thought after the Pats last year
that the lowest seeds of both conferences could end up in the Super Bowl. It’s still a long shot, but anything is possible in the NFL which is why it’s tramples all other professional sports.
I hope the Eagles win
Im rooting for teams who have not won a superbowl yet. (yeah that includes the Chargers, much to my chagrin)

I'm rooting for the Eagles, too
so Andy Reid and McNabb can prove that they didn’t need T.O. to win it all.
thats actually
the team im pulling for to win the whole shebang not just this game. I really like McNabb and it would be sweet to see the Philadelphia faithful to get off his back.
by metal_militia on Jan 11, 2009 12:20 AM EST up reply actions
Exactly
I think Philly has given him a little bit too much grief; he deserves better than that. I would love it if he did win the Super Bowl, then announce that he’s not coming back to Philly and will go somewhere like Chicago. (I know it won’t happen, but it would’ve been pretty damn awesome >-) )
i would love to see
TO suffer from it, and I like McNabb and Reid, but here’s my problem with the Eagles winning it: is there any fanbase that would be less deserving of 2 major sports championships in the same year than Philly fans?
