NFL Playoff Open Thread

Hard to really root for either the Jets or the Bengals. I lean a bit towards the Bengals because of Dhanti Jones. It's early but he is having a good game so far. Each team has 3 UM players but Cinci has not Buckeyes. Edge Cinci.

Braylon is pretty dreadful, as much as it pains me to say that, it's true. The guy can't catch, if only his hands matched his athletic ability.

It's getting to the point where it's probably worth it for me to make a macro that creates a post that says "DAMMIT, BRAYLON" to save myself from needing to type it so often...

go out to braylons hands and skill set. May he some day be able to drink a cool refreshing beverage without dropping the glass to the floor. p.s. Dhani, please hit braylon so hard that he remembers he's a football player not just a ladies man.

1. I don't know if this guy got his answer - I didn't see it, but Feely is punting because the Jets' punter, Weatherford, is sick. He seems to be doing a good job - not out kicking his coverage. 2. That Braylon drop was EXACTLY like the one he dropped against USC in 2003 (2004 New Year's Day game) when Navarre hit him in the hands perfectly in stride. Ugh.

Revis is good, but I hope he gets torched because I want Charles to win it. Woodson has 20 more tackles and has forced 7 more turnovers. How could he not win it? Announcers, please stop talking about how Revis is God.

The announcers are basically lazy and don't get too deep into anything, particularly this group. Revis has gotten a lot of attention lately so they just repeating what they have in front of them. Theisman is basically harmless but he doesn't really add much. Joe Gibbs is trying but not sure how prepared he is. Hammond is, well, Hammond.

At first I thought the defender may have tipped it or blocked his vision but on review it looked like he just dropped it. A certain percentage of those he is just going to flat out boot.

Can you guys imagine what is going to whichever one of these teams wins next week? Rexmight be able to dial up enough D to avoid a total thrashing, but Colts/Chargers are going to crush tonights winner.

You know what I'm sick of? These late hit penalties. Harris barely shoved him when both players were running full speed right at the boundary. I'm not complaining just because Harris played for Michigan, but these penalties are such BS when the defensive player has to be running full speed and they're expected to know the split second a player hits the boundary and twist out of the way or something. Anyway.
