Squish the fish...

Try not to lose another superbowl.

I am over the moon just being in the conversation...

@Chaos2k7 holy crap what a nailbiter there at the end.
25 year wait for that playoff win but onto the next one.
Gives me hope FLA can rip that monkey off their back this year or next.

Thats a really good D Indy has over there. Gotta earn every win in the playoffs. Surprised to see that was Rivers first loss in the wildcard round. He played well, but we did enough on both sides of the ball to over come our poor field position most of the day.

1 down, 3 to go.

So Chiefs will play one of Baltimore, Tennessee, or Cleveland.

Buffalo will play one of Pittsburgh come on Baltimore, or Tennessee.

As a Chiefs fan, I would gladly take two of the three, other than Baltimore. Chiefs can beat them, but Baltimore can be a team possessed at times.

Unless Pittsburgh absolutely wets the bed, I like our chances against them next week.

Hopefully that isn't the end of Rivers, he was a good pickup by IND and may have another year in him.

Speaking of good defense, WSH hanging tough with TB right now. And their QB is playing some decent ball right now.
Been impressed with them.

Have a bet on all 6 games and if WSH can keep it within 9pts, I'm 3/3 tonight against the spread and will need BAL to win by 3.5, NO to win by 10.5 and CLE to keep it within 7 against PIT tomorrow

Washington QB is hurt, I don't like their chances here. Not sure I like New Orleans with those points tomorrow. Bears defense can be good.

The replacement has had a really good game so far, never knew much about him, the rushing TD at the goal-line post was awesome.
Need WSH to score a TD here with 9 mins to go.

If Kamara is back, I don't think Trubisky will be able to compete with Brees and that NO defense, we shall see though.
Wondering if Lamar can get BAL into the 2nd round though, hasn't been able to step up yet.
And kinda want to see CLE win, tired of PIT.

 

[TheImpatientPanther]

@Cold Cat , BOOM! now just need TB to run out the clock and that's 3/3 for tonight

The refs better not call this back...

8 points! Can't get much closer than that.

 

[TheImpatientPanther]

4 for 4 now.

Need NO to win by 10.5 and CLE to keep it within 7 or win it outright and 500$ is coming my way on a 10$ bet

this New Orleans Chicago game is going to be real interesting. Good luck

I'd think NFL want Brady vs Brees for divisional match up over the Bears.
I'll be pissed if Saints only win by 10pts

If Kamara is somewhat healthy, I'll take the wiley vet in Brees over the young Trubisky anyday

Fantasy Brag
I had Montgomery all year. I had Trubisky the last four weeks. Second place. Five Medals in seven years, no big deal.
​

Obviously I was following Montgomery all season. He had one concussion in the middle of the year that made him miss a game, other than that he's been stellar. Small enough he can duck under people, but big enough for Explosive Runs!

Trubisky is playing within himself the last while. He's been having some bad luck with fumbles, other than that not making mistakes, using his legs and checkdowns.

Bears remind a bit of Bills from last year, got a good young group with a bright future ahead but will be a step behind the Saints who can do it on both sides of the ball and have some playoff success
Depending on how long Rodgers plays or how long he can be elite, the Bears could challenge for division title in another year or two if some key guys hit their potential.

I just don't buy Drew Brees this year since his rib injury. Not sure he can get it done today against the good Chicago defense.

Smith and Johnson are key inactives for CHI but that defense is what will be the X factor for sure.

I already don't like how NO keeps switching from Brees to Hill, likely Brees not being 100%

Don't forget NO defense is pretty solid too. CHI needs to tie it here, stop NO before half and CHI get the ball after half.

Enjoy amigo.

Chiefs played the Saints week 15 or 16. So I've seen them play recently.

I compare everything to watching the Chiefs play, so everyone can be beat

About to go 5 for 5 here, CLE better not let me down...fine if PIT wins by a FG or two though

 

[Prominence Problem]

What is the line? Do you have Pittsburgh -6?

 

[TheImpatientPanther]

What is the line? Do you have Pittsburgh -6?

Point spread is PIT -7 so I need CLE to either lose within 6 points or win outright.
Hoping CLE's run game and offense will offset PIT's decent defense

You should cheer for CLE because they would go to KC next week, easy win

 

[TheImpatientPanther]

WOOOO! nice start

Well I'm with you. I'd rather play Cleveland next round then Baltimore.

And just as I'm saying that Cleveland gets a touchdown on a snap gone wrong. What a start!

WOW! didn't expect this start so far, I'm big right now, CLE just has to keep pace here
