Again no ONE HD on Friday afternoon??????

 

[bangbang]

It's coming to that time again fellas. What a treat the playoffs are shaping up to be. What are everyone's Super Bowl match up tips as of today? Each team has showed a few flaws with many teams from each conference that can make a run

Again no ONE HD on Friday afternoon??????

I can't find any info on why they've suddenly dropped the Thursday games.

Excited to see the Redskins on ONE. Hopefully we're the team that makes a late run at the playoffs and goes deep.
A bit nervous about the game though I reckon the Ravens will run Ray Rice down our throats, plus they'll be mad coming off a loss and the negative press Flacco seems to be getting at the moment has the potential to spur him on, let's hope it spurs him on the same way the bad mouthing inspired Sanchez this past week.

 

[drd23]

I'm really nervous about this game as I can just see RGIII running riot against our defense. Hopefully our OLBs are on their game and play the option well.

As for the offense, I'm anticipating at least 1 DeAngelo Hall INT because Flacco completely misreads the defense and Hall undercuts either Boldin or Smith. Hopefully Cam is smart enough to run Ray Rice and Bernard Pierce down their throats for large chunks of the game, but knowing how Cam likes to call a game, I'm not holding my breath.

Hopefully they can get back on track after the embarrassment of a game just played

Patriots vs 49ers for me

 

[arakaan]

A Question. If Jags and KC lose all games who gets no.1 draft pick?
I have no idea how they work it out.

SOS is the main tie-breaker

 

[Indie_]

I think the team who gets the #2 pick will be better off. Take Jarvis Jones at #2, and then take a guy like Tyler Wilson, E.J Manuel or Landry Jones with #33.

If the Chiefs or Jags have #1, they'll end up taking one of Geno Smith/Matt Barkley which will be a huge risk.

 

[GeeCats07]

I have an 'Ed Reed' feeling this week. Teaches RGIII a little lesson...

 

[GreyWind]

Wonder which Packers team will show up this week and who is going to get injured. All I can say is I hope McCarthy pulls his head out his arse and stops with running Kuhn on 3rd and 1, having all our receivers run long routes where they don't get open and consistently calls the run (like the 2nd half against the Vikes). Then we should win.

Superbowl prediction:
Homer: Packers v Broncos
Reality: 49ers v Broncos

Also how haven't the Seattle corners had a hearing yet?

 

[happydude]

Both the vikes and ravens have to make it up to me after the disappointing games this week.
No way the vikes will get up against Chicago but the ravens redskins game should be good.
I enjoy watching RG3.

 

[BomberWatson]

A Question. If Jags and KC lose all games who gets no.1 draft pick?
I have no idea how they work it out.

Chiefs get the pick based on the Strength Of Schedule (SOS) tiebreaker. By that, it would mean that Kansas City's schedule is considered to be easier, and as a result are considered to be worse.

 

[LUKOZADE]

Houston vs New England has to be easily MnF game of the year!

 

[bangbang]

I'd love the pack to make another run but doesn't look likely. Each team has bits of inconsistency but Green Bay have been among the worst, oline each week. Which defense turns up. Lets hope Matthews and Woodson make a difference.
I gotta think the patriots over San fran this year

 

[Chadwiko]

Ravens @ Skins is going to be a ridiculously important game for both teams.

I am quietly confident - our weakness is our secondary, and with Flacco fighting to find form, it means i'm less scared about an opposing QB than I usually am.

Ray Rice is obviously a crazy talent, but I also feel that the Redskins have the personnel in the front 7 to try and keep him contained.

Fingers crossed. Anything could happen in this game.

If the Skins win though, hooooooo boo i'll be excited.

Don't worry - we will beat the Jets this week.

[Chadwiko]

If Washington beats the Ravens, and the Cards beat the Seahawks, Washington is the 6th seed after this week.

Wow.

 

[Joshen]

Washington win was good in terms of potential better playoff seeding but makes our position in the playoffs much less guaranteed. Would be feeling confident if not for the likely loss of our no.1 and no.2 corners. Sherman's hearing is on Friday, no date set yet for Browner (staggering it is good for us I suppose). Lucky Thurmond is back (was playing ahead of Sherman last year before he got injured) and in any case our defense has regressed quite a bit from the start of the year - fortunately the offense has come along in leaps and bounds.

Carpenter IRed again *sigh* maybe next year he'll play a full season. Edwards waived too which is interesting, hasn't been that great but if the TD on the weekend had counted (and it should have) it might have been different. Speculation that it was caused partially by his Jets comments. Also apparently Bevell is in the running for the Wisconsin job. Some Seahawk fans aren't supporter of him but not overly keen on changing the offense a year into Wilson's career.

 

[catters078]

Man the Ravens have a tough run home..

The Bengals and steelers have very winnable schedules coming home..

I thought the North was all but locked up..that loss last week could really haunt Baltimore

 

[BomberWatson]

If Washington beats the Ravens, and the Cards beat the Seahawks, Washington is the 6th seed after this week.

Wow.

No chance they win @ Seattle, I wouldn't be backing Arizona to beat Southern Miss with the way they're currently playing.

I know, but a boy can dream.

Should rename it, Thursday Night Blowout

Also how haven't the Seattle corners had a hearing yet?

Richard Sherman's hearing isn't until 14 December, so he's free to play for Seattle this weekend. Last time I saw, Browner's hearing date hadn't been set, but it probably will be heard around the same time.
