Game Thread - Wildcard- Jacksonville V New England (1 Viewer)

[bostonfred]

Hard to tell how much of this is a defensive struggle, and how much is caused by mistakes by both teams on offense.

 

[jeff_eaglz]

####### rookie.

Why is he in if you have Taylor AND Greg Jones?

 

[bostonfred]

Why do they still call them "wildcard" games when only half the teams participating are wild card teams?

they always have. 1st round of playoffs is the wild card round. 2nd round is the divisional round.doesn't make a ton of sense, but its nothing new.

Well, to me, it made sense when there were 3 wild cards and 1 division winner in these games...But with 2/2, just is weird.

Part "legacy", but mostly because it does make sense.This is the ONLY weekend that Wild Card team is guaranteed to play. Next week can be all division winners if seeds hold.

Right, this is the wild card winners' chance to "make the playoffs". It makes more sense if you think of it as the top division winners have already made "the playoffs", while the worse-seeded division winners have to defend their playoff berth, but at least they get the luxury of playing the non-division winners.

Dodging lotsa bullets.

True nuff. Brady should have had 3 TDs that half...Watson dropped one near the goalline and Branch should have hauled in that long one.

 

[jeff_eaglz]

Wow.. squeak that one in

Looks like he had plenty of leg, and that was the same direction that Vinatieri was facing in the first quarter. Those non-attempts may haunt them.

 

[massraider]

One teams dodged bullets is another teams missed opportunities.

that's what i was thinking. they claimed the wind was in adam's face on the non-tries, but on scobee's they said "no wind."odd.

The non-attempts led directly to the Patriots having the great field position which was exploited to get a touchdown.

Del Rio accuses Pats of tampering with the communications system. That could get interesting.

 

[Mr.Happy]

We stopped Leftwhich!YES!!!!!!!!!

I only caught a piece of this. Did the announcers give any details?

I'll take 3 and kickoff anytime.

Belichick with an Army special forces radio jammer going. Gosh, he thinks of everything.But if it is true, then I may have to take a long vacation from these forums. Things would get real ugly.

No. Just Tafoya saying Del Rio was upset the system was breaking down "at key moments" causing the Jags to have penalties, etc. And Del Rio wants the NFL to look into it.

 

[ffjunk]

The pats need some offensive adjustments here to open up a good Jax D. Maybe some Brady quick hitters.

 

[Mr.Happy]

League is looking into it right now with people on the sidelines.Oliver Stone movie in the works.

I agree with the calls not to go for the FG, actually. I just hear conflicting reports on the wind in that direction.

 

[jeff_eaglz]

Is the Postseason or Preseason?

 

[bostonfred]

I heard Belichick lined up the laser from Real Genius to take out Leftwich if the game gets any closer.

 

[Mr.Happy]

I just heard that Belichick shot down TWA Flight 800.

 

[jeff_eaglz]

Without Watson and Faulk there'd be no offense for NE tonight.

 

[Mr.Happy]

Brady cheated on that pass somehow.

 

[Onions]

Faulk looks pretty solid tonight. Definately not an every down back, but he brings alot to the table.

 

[Noahs Troopers]

YES YES YES!!! TD GIVENS!!!!

 

[Mr.Happy]

YYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWorst 14-3 lead ever.

 

[JZilla]

The Colts are going to kill these guys. Again. Talk about relying on good fortune.

 

[Noahs Troopers]

Yeah, the Colts OWN the Patriots in the playoffs, Brady is such a choker in the playoffs.

Solid prediction here.

 

[Noahs Troopers]

Jimmy Smith = Hands of stone. LOL.

 

[JZilla]

Hang 'em up, Jimmy Smits

 

[tick dog]

Big drop by J.Smith.

 

[Noahs Troopers]

Jimmy Smith, meet the fork.

 

[NorvilleBarnes]

LOL @ Madden: "Uh . . oh . . nevermind, I was going to make an excuse for Smith but there's no excuse for that."

 

[Garts]

Dilln's done. He looks OLD.

 

[bollocks28]

Memo to the Jaguars:If you can't win the game outright, please at least try to come back to cover the spread.TIA

 

[jeff_eaglz]

Your starting WR duo for Jacksonville in 2006:Ernest Wilford and Matt Jones.

 

[Dynasty]

Dilln's done. He looks OLD.

He looked tough on that first down run.

 

[Mr.Happy]

Dillon plays great with a lead.:rollseyes:

 

[Mr.Happy]

Really liking Faulk. He plays with a lot of fire.

And I absolutely love your solid prediction......dooood.

 

[cowboyz]

ben watson seems to do that a lot

 

[Dynasty]

Watson = Speed?

 

[Noahs Troopers]

HOLY ####. That Watson kicks butt.

 

[Onions]

Watson's effort

 

[Arnold. S]

yeah baby, i love seeing those big NE TEs break tackles

 

[tick dog]

And that, friends, is why they drafted Watson when they already had Graham.

 

[Bri]

HOLY ####.

That Watson kicks butt.

 

[dB02]

Watson almost stepped out

 

[Mr.Happy]

YEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIf Watson was white, ESPN would put him in the HOF for that run. :shockey:

 

[Bad_Mo]

Hey Jzippa....good thing Watson got ####ing lucky there, huh?Colts will crumble vs. the Pats if they even face them next week. Get a clue doood.
