OT: Saturday NFL Divisional Playoff Games
January 12th, 2013 at 4:32 PM ^
Im rooting for ray lewis
January 12th, 2013 at 4:51 PM ^
I'm just hoping he's as successful obstructing blockers as he has been at obstructing justice.

He can really slice through the offensive line to make tackles.
January 13th, 2013 at 12:07 AM ^
The guy got away-literally-with murder. Okay. Maybe accessary to murder. It is sad the that he is being held out as a role model. At best he beat the system. Sad.
January 13th, 2013 at 12:35 AM ^
Was a little gross.
January 12th, 2013 at 4:54 PM ^
Everyone kills people. Murders me, murders you.
January 12th, 2013 at 4:35 PM ^
Denver's jerseys look terrible.Why not just go old school.
January 12th, 2013 at 4:48 PM ^
Well, Joe Flacco has made his one good throw of the day.
Champ Bailey looked old on that play.
January 12th, 2013 at 4:49 PM ^
Go Not Manning!
January 12th, 2013 at 4:51 PM ^
Just as we expected.
Wouldn't have thought we'd have 2 touchdowns in under 5 minutes and Manning would have never touched the fiekd.
January 12th, 2013 at 4:54 PM ^
Just turned it on and Manning throws a pick 6. He is fun to watch though...im rooting for a Manning vs Brady matchup next week...so go Denver. Looks very cold there.
January 12th, 2013 at 5:25 PM ^
Sorta.
January 12th, 2013 at 4:58 PM ^
I can't stand Peyton Manning. I hope Baltimore kills them!!
January 12th, 2013 at 7:04 PM ^
All that nonsense at the line - the arm waving, "hurry hurry hut" stuff.
January 12th, 2013 at 5:03 PM ^
OT question in case any of you guys know... I just saw Baltimore DL jump across the line but he reset before Manning got the snap.
In the South Carolina game, there were 2 instances of this and in both cases Michigan got the snap off while the DL was in the neutral zone. Instead of takin the "free play" and going deep...Gardner instead just took the ball and threw it way out of bounds...he did this 2x.
Does anyone know why Gardner would be coached to throw this out of bounds? Yes Michigan gets a free 5 yds, but it is also a good opportunity to take a shot down field as an INT would not count vs. the defensive offsides...anyone know?
January 12th, 2013 at 5:16 PM ^
On those plays Clowney touched Lewan so the refs blew the play dead. Mealer still snapped it trying to get the free play and Gardner chucked it immediately so he wouldn't get destroyed.
January 12th, 2013 at 5:54 PM ^
oh makes sense i didnt know there was contact
January 12th, 2013 at 5:21 PM ^
What's this South Carolina game you speak of?
January 12th, 2013 at 5:06 PM ^
Manning is dialed in now.
January 12th, 2013 at 5:07 PM ^
Would love to see the Broncos win today and the Pats tomorrow. Another Manning/Brady matchup would be sweet!
January 12th, 2013 at 5:33 PM ^
What's your beef with Rodgers? Are you just an angry Lions fan? Is it because he's scary good? That was my reason for hating Manning during the mid-2000's.
January 12th, 2013 at 6:09 PM ^
State Farm discount double check.
January 12th, 2013 at 6:27 PM ^
Actually I think Rodgers is pretty likeable and is really good. So good that if Green Bay can revamp their aging roster they could whip off a bunch more Super Bowls and challenge Brady for best of his era. A lot of guys haven gotten that "next great" label after Manning/Brady, but Rodgers is the first I've seen who deserves it.
January 12th, 2013 at 7:15 PM ^
Agreed. I wouldn't go so far as to describe their team as aging, though. Green Bay seems to have a pretty evenly balanced roster in terms of age. Guys like Driver, Pickett, and (sadly) Woodson will be gone sooner than later. There isn't a team out there that relies on getting more out of their draft picks and UDFA's than the Packers. Vet FA signings like Benson this summer are few and far between when Ted Thompson is your GM.
Also, I wish I could neg State Farm's advertisement people to Bolivia for creating those blasted ads.
January 12th, 2013 at 8:40 PM ^
But they do a good job of slowly plugging in holes with younger guys.
January 12th, 2013 at 11:00 PM ^
Might have been too kind.
January 12th, 2013 at 5:40 PM ^
To the OP: jeez, overthinking much? We are all huge Michigan fans here obviously, but just enjoy the games without reading a ton of Michigan related stuff into it fergodsakes =P.
Go Denver and GB.
January 12th, 2013 at 6:28 PM ^
But I don't have any money on the games, and I like to have some reason to root for someone.
Why do you want Denver and Green Bay?
January 12th, 2013 at 6:36 PM ^
Grandparents live in CO so I have always been a casual Broncos fan, plus I like Manning.
Rooting for the NFC north which is why I am rooting for GB. Plus I am just sort of anti-California in general (probably unwarranted and based on stereotypes but oh well).
January 12th, 2013 at 8:42 PM ^
Some conversation on who people are rooting for in a game without the Lions or Brady. Long winded to the surprise of no one.
January 12th, 2013 at 8:12 PM ^
When I first read "Go Denver and GB", my mind automatically turned GB into Go Blue instead of Green Bay. I guess if you are really searching for straws on who to root for, maybe that will tip the scale.
January 12th, 2013 at 6:06 PM ^
Torrey Smith is off to a torrid start.
January 12th, 2013 at 6:33 PM ^
Boomer esiasion a former maryland player touting up torrey and vernon two current maryland players in the nfl, big ten?
January 12th, 2013 at 7:14 PM ^
Even though I live just outside of Denver I am pulling hard for the Ravens. Way to be Rice. Way to be.
January 12th, 2013 at 7:27 PM ^
Ronnie Hillman is a better NFL back than I thought he would be.
January 12th, 2013 at 7:51 PM ^
Poor Baltimore got the shaft from the officials tonight... Gotta preserve the image of Peyton manning and the league.
January 12th, 2013 at 8:00 PM ^
YES touchdown!
January 12th, 2013 at 8:00 PM ^
Holy shit!!!!!
January 12th, 2013 at 8:05 PM ^
Is GERG in Denver?
January 12th, 2013 at 8:08 PM ^
I was appalled and happy at the same time when Jones for the Ravens caught that ball.
January 12th, 2013 at 8:01 PM ^
WTF?! Poor safety play.
January 12th, 2013 at 8:02 PM ^
The thought of Ray Lewis playing another game and doing his stupid-ass dance is nauseating.
January 12th, 2013 at 8:06 PM ^
to continue to play. Manning is great too, but he is a rival of Brady's. Thus, I must root against Manning.
January 12th, 2013 at 8:08 PM ^
My thoughts exactly
January 12th, 2013 at 8:08 PM ^
I have changed my mind. Go Broncos. I wouldn't want Lewis to make it to another Super Bowl and murder someone else.
January 12th, 2013 at 8:11 PM ^
Calumny
January 12th, 2013 at 8:05 PM ^
Great game. I am really surprised Denver took a knee to go to overtime. You have Peyton Manning, 2 timeouts, and all you need is a field goal!. At least show you want to go for it and run a draw, just to see what happens. I don't understand coaches thinking sometimes.
January 12th, 2013 at 8:07 PM ^
I found it more surprising that Denver didn't try to pass on the previous drive & get a first down.
