Playoff Predictions- Divisional Weekend

[Sunstroke]

^^^ This is what I've been saying since he was drafted...if he could put it all together, he could be insanely good.

He still makes me nervous on some plays, and he needs to work more with his WRs on catching his fastball, but man...he sure is looking good.

I find it funny that you guys call Manning a playoff choker.

Do you think Marino was a playoff choker as well.

I put that loss on the defense for giving up a today when all they had to do was play prevent defense.

For the record, I don't consider either of them playoff chokers.

Marino never had teams loaded like Peyton did. Peyton has come up small time and time again. His legacy will be the greatest regular season QB to ever play in the sport. But come playoff time he chokes! That pass in OT that was picked off was downright horrible. No excuse for that from a hall of fame player

Today's loss falls on the lap of 2 people

1) Jon Fox for having no guts and trying to win the game in regulation with 2 timeouts and a hall of fame QB
2) Peyton for a terrible INT in OT

Yes the defense gave up a hail mary late to let Baltimore tie it but Fox and Peyton did NOTHING after that play and went into "turtle mode"

I think Manning has played well in the playoffs, but just hasn't gotten the support that other quarterbacks have

Wow this is looking like another good game.

He has had hall of fame WR in Harrison. Reggie Wayne ain't half bad either and is borderline hall of fame player. Throw in top flight TE's. Pro Bowl o-linemen. Guys like Freeney and Bob Sanders on defense. A borderline hall of fame kicker (and there ain't many kickers in the H.O.F)!  He has had loaded teams. Teams that have won 14 and 15 games in the regular season!

Wow, Ted Ginn can actually block??

[Sunstroke]

^^ You do know the Niners still have Ted Ginn?

I have a hard time taking them seriously when I hear his name.

He just had a very impressive downfield block to allow Kap to get the edge and a first down.

Ginn's usage with SF is so tiny these days. I do like it when he contributes though...that's more than we've gotten from our first round draft pick (A.J. Jenkins) this season.

But look at how well they performed in the playoffs.

In his last three playoff one and dones, he's posted a rating over 90 each time.

Three times, his defense has given up fourth quarter leads.

Manning has very good playoff numbers.

Yeah that overtime INT was great today!!

[Sunstroke]

That's a big man running that fast...

[phinphan]

I missed the beginning watching the overtime who gets the ball in second half?

[dolphins4life]

How about the defense blowing the lead earlier.  If they just use common sense, that game doesn't go to overtime.

[Sunstroke]

Packers will get the second half kickoff

[dolphins4life]

I get out of work at eleven, so hopefully I get to see the fourth quarter

[Sunstroke]

Kap had a monster first half... 148 yards and 2 TDs passing, 107 yards and 1 TD rushing. I love Alex Smith, and hope he has success on his next stop, but Alex just can't do the things that Kaepernick can.
