****Official Divisional Round Thread****
 

I think there is only one team in the AFC now that can beat the Neckbones.... And that's the Patriots.

Convince me I am wrong and why.

Rice, Torrey, Boldin, Ray Ray, Ngata, Suggs, and Reed wave hello. That's a whole hell of alot of playoff experience.

Hmmm. During the Ravens game & like in the first quarter. The quarterback named Peyton Manning receives a bad **SNAP** & I'm not talking about the center snapping the ball to the QB.

This is where we should be in a maximum of 3 years.

I know but in Denver? I hope you are right...


I just want him knocked out of the game and one year closer to retirement.... I can't stand his ass but he has worked so damn hard to be so good, how can you not have respect for a guy like that.

I just hate the Donks

If you hope that Denver gets beat by the Ravens, good luck.


Hope in one hand and shit in the other. I bet you itch your nose with the latter.

Just sayin. They have a puncher's chance. Tired of people acting like they are good enough to just show up and beat this Baltimore team.

I can see the Ravens winning this game. How many teams did they play above 500 on their schedule? They won the AFCW whoopty ****ing DOO DOO.

It was chocked full of KUpcakes, but winning that many in a row is impressive in the NFL. This is also a different team than the one they faced last time plus a Falco pick 6 at the 1 really changed the tone anyway.

Yeah, it's actually pretty silly. I posed this in another thread:

Also wouldn't be surprised if Denver won. But I can't sit here and say this game is an absolute lock for Denver.

I sure as hell wouldn't bet on this game, that's for sure.

The Ravens were missing 5 starters when they faced Denver last month.

Now, the Ravens are in their house with Revenge on their minds.

Should be a good game.

I hope so.

I also hope my CoMoMoJo is still full strength.

I ****ing hate the ray Lewis dance. It will be nice to never see it again.

Maybe he'll do it on Peyton's neck today. :)

The Ravens are 9.5 point underdogs! I just don't see that either. I see close game that could go either way. No way they get blown out in Pile High.

Denver will win by 10+

Absolutely. Then factor in they are facing an extremely well coached, veteran team, that was a dropped pass away from beating New England in their house to go to the Super Bowl, and you have yourself an upset stew goin.

Should be a good game and a close score. Denver has a great defense, many are just focusing on the Ravens defense.

Flacco on the road against that defense... it will not be easy by any means.

My revised prediction...

Broncos 27
Ravens 20

Enjoy

Peyton Manning on one side against a defense that doesn't really bring pressure, and Joe Flacco on the other side, against two good pass rushers?

Yeah, I'm not seeing an upset in the works.

This is a passing league.

Ray Rice isn't going to lead the Ravens to a SB.

Joe Flacco has been mediocre in the playoffs, with a couple of good games mixed in.

Suggs KO's manning face

I could see Peyton choking against a team with a good pass rushing defense.

The Ravens don't match up in any way to the Broncos. The Broncos could win this game with Matt Schaub at QB. Their defense represents WAY too much of a challenge for the Ravens.

I'd pick the Broncos with any competent QB to win this game, let alone Peyton Manning.

This is a laugher, I promise.

Alot of my posts today are trolling, but I do think you underestimate the Ravens though.

I think the Ravens are one of the worst playoff teams I've ever seen (other than the Colts this year)

If I had the choice between Flacco, Cassel or running the wildcat all game I'd seriously consider wildcat.

defense is aging, none of their pass rushers scare me, they have JIM CALDWELL at offensive coordinator...

I have big money riding on Denver to get to the Super Bowl and today, I'm not nervous one bit (next week is a different story).

I've never been more sure of anything. This game is going to be one of those 'wow I never at any moment feared Denver was going to lose this game' kind of games.

NOW, FULL DISCLAIMER

a few years ago when the Jets beat the Patriots I felt the same way (in the playoffs) and it lost me a lot of $$$

BUT STILL

-Hootie, always the opinionated

That's my point. It's the NFL and that's what makes it great. Special Teams TD, fluke fumble, tipped pass....

How much money do you have on the line?

well I always talk about bounces and the Ravens are going to need at least 3

this is, IMO, the most talented team Peyton has ever had and by leaps and bounds

Dude, they would have had a undefeated regular season one year if they didn't rest guys.

they won 11 in a row by 7+ this year after they stopped with the huddle bullshit McCoy tried to throw on Peyton

and Denver's defense is AWESOME

I already got the "wait until Baltimore" with Denver the first time...a game in which they won as easily as they beat us in week 17

ROFL Are Hootie and Knowmo the same person?

Duke's about to lose


Go 49ers, Ravens, Seahawks, and Texans!

Denver's D 'appears' awesome because the offense ALWAYS gives them the lead.

That will always make a good D look great.

No, they just both like to 'shrimp' Peyton.

I respect QB play...and Peyton is the best QB I've ever seen play. Can't help to admire.

Yeah, I know Capn Hoot loves him some Peyton, but damn he's making them out to be some unbeatable juggernaut and that's not reality at all. Especially today's NFL, their is no such thing.

Hoping for the Ravens, but I don't see them getting it done. Peyton tore them a new one in Baltimore.

And Baltimore was missing 5 starters.

I do too.

Unfortunately for Peyton, he happens to play for the Scum of the Earth franchise.

They're also ancient. Only way I see Baltimore winning is if Rice gets off to a fast start and the Broncos are rusty early.

....and now pimps shitty pizza.

Denver O: #4
Denver D: #2

New England O: #1
New England D: #26

Why didn't New England's offense make their defense look great?

Green Bay needs to lose today so the hiring of John Dorsey can be completed (YES, I know the Chiefs can hire him even if Green Bay is still alive in the playoffs, I know that has been discussed 8 million times on this message board in the past week).

However Green Bay losing will eliminate any roadblocks, excuses, etc. for getting a deal completed to hire Dorsey.

They didn't play the Chiefs and Raiders 4 times?

6 wins vs the AFCW. Choke on a huge cock.

they played the Jets, Dolphins and Bills.

That's almost as bad as the Chargers, Chiefs, Raiders.

I hear that Champ Bailey is just a young guy...

6 more wins.

Quit ****ing nuthugging the donkeys.

As a Chiefs fan, you should be ashamed of yourself.

Holy crap, you have the brain damage too.

Peyton played on a team in Indianapolis that would've went undefeated in the regular season had they not pulled their starters in game 15. Undefeated. Something that's only happened 4 times in the history of the NFL and twice in the modern era. Denver just went 13-3 against maybe the weakest AFC group of teams in a long time.

The sooner the donks are out of the playoffs the better. You can't go into a football thread without Hootie spitting fivehead's man juice out of his ****ing mouth.

LMAO

Heck, even Denver and New England lost every game they played against an NFC playoff team. The Niners blew New England off the field. Really the Falcons whipped Denver too, but both teams fell asleep in the 2nd half. The AFC is terrible. People acting like Denver or New England have accomplished anything great are out of their mind.

Yes, I admit it's pretty pathetic but I've ALWAYS been a Peyton Manning fan. Well, I used to think he sucked up until that 2003 playoff game at Arrowhead where I watched him and after I cried myself to sleep for a week I thought to myself "holy shit, that's the best QB I've ever freaking seen in my life..."

Looks ****ing cold. Might favor Ravens...

http://nbcprofootballtalk.files.word...x-70.jpg?w=250

Hootie might have died of a heart attack if Peyton came here.

ROFLROFL

and as soon as they pulled Peyton from that Jets game...and I remember this distinctly...they were the worst ****ing team I've ever seen. (I had money on that game where Painter shit the bed after they pulled Manning)

in fact, there is an archived meltdown thread on this site from that very game

not to mention I'm pretty sure they pulled out A LOT OF GAMES that year at the very end...they didn't go on any 11 game, 7+ points winning streaks.

Honestly, go rewatch their losses this year. They fell down HUGE early and Peyton almost brought them back each and every time (one game ended because of a McGahee fumble)...

what was the common theme in those games early on? (other than the Atlanta game)

THEY DITCHED THE DUMBASS MCCOY ATTEMPT TO RUN PEYTON FROM A HUDDLE OFFENSE.

They ditched it right after they fell down 24-0 to San Diego and Peyton brought them back to win 35-24. After that, they quit...and since, they haven't had ONE close game.

If the Chiefs had signed Peyton his atrophy would've probably returned and Matt Cassel would've probably finished the season. That's our luck.

I bet $100 ****ing dollars on the Chiefs 6:1 to land Peyton while Denver was 25:1

meltdown city

it the Chiefs landed Peyton Scott would have been here another 5 years and the Chiefs would be hosting Baltimore today in the playoffs at Arrowhead

Think I'll watch the Donkie game muted and if it starts to get out of control I'm switching it to reruns of The Andy Griffith show.

I hate Peyton and the F****** Donkies. The only way I watch is IF they have a chance to lose. :evil:

It is ****ing cold here. Had to have my daughter to cheer practice at 7 this morning and it was 4 degrees when we left. It us up to 15 now, but not supposed to get much warmer.

I hope fivehead's neck is brittle and Ray Ray snaps that giant ****ing noggin off and spikes it on the field.

well there is no doubt in my mind one of these two teams play in the Super Bowl

and if it is Peyton I'll avatar bet you the Broncos win it

I won't bet on Tom against the 49ers, but anyone else I'll bet with you on Tom as well

Ravens 24 Denver 17
Packers 28 49ers 17

well enjoy the 1st quarter and reruns of Matlock

I want to see Ray Lewis standing at the 50 in Denver with Manning's spine in his hand.

Yeah, Peyton Manning makes everyone around him better. There's a shocker. The AFC is terrible this year. Of course they won every game by 7 points. They played in a division where there wasn't another single mediocre team. That's literally half their wins right there. They went 2-3 against teams with winning records.

I think they can still get to the Super Bowl. But to sit here and say they're a better team and have had a better season than a team that should've gone undefeated is insane. Completely stupid.

the people picking the Ravens are hilarious

I think the only check mark they get is at kicker...I won't even give them the coaching check mark since Peyton is basically his own offensive coach and that certainly trumps Jim ****ing Caldwell (as much as I like Harbaugh)

BUT LETS PREDICT A BALTIMORE WIN AT DENVER.

I think anyone who predicts Baltimore to win is a ****ing moron. 100%

anyone predicting a Baltimore win has a football IQ of less than Frankie

The Dolphins, Jets, Jaguars, Titans and Cardinals all had worse offenses than the Chiefs or Raiders. That's 7 games against horrible offenses. They didn't even win all those games.

Also, what does that have to do with the offense making the defense look great?

Baltimore
Green Bay

Seattle
Houston

...so basically, **** the home teams.

I don't think anyone is picking Baltimore to win this.

We just don't think it'll be so easy for Denver.

Bro, you're just wrong.

They had EIGHT 1 score finishes through FOURTEEN weeks. Sure, they were 14-0. Sure, they COULD HAVE and SHOULD HAVE went undefeated after they pulled all of those close games out.

http://espn.go.com/nfl/player/gamelo...peyton-manning

not to mention, half of those one score games were against competition similar to what you speak of when it comes to 'shitty competition' this year.

That 14-0 team in NO WAY compared to Brady's undefeated team.

And if you are curious, the current temp in Denver is 8 degrees. Wind chill is -2.

you're a god damn genious

can we put money on this?

Who cares? They won the games. Only on ChiefsPlanet are people stupid enough to constantly make excuses for people's success. They literally could've gone undefeated and might have been a Manning throw to Tracy Porter away from a Super Bowl win.

I'd totally agree they were not as good as the 2007 Patriots, but who cares? If going undefeated was easy it would happen all the time. It's only happened once in the last 40 years. They were good enough to do it.

here's what I compare this dipshittery to

you're one of the captains in a pickup basketball game

you have the choice between a pocket protector wearing midget in flip flops or a big, strong, chiseled black man and you choose the midget

that's what a lot of you are doing right now

and that's why I call you IDIOTS

Whisenhunt as Denvers OC? Interesting.

that's not the argument

I'm saying

with Peyton QB'ing BOTH teams

I'd take THIS Denver team over THAT Indy team

TODAY

perhaps I'm wrong, but it isn't NEARLY as cut and dry as you are making it

AS EVIDENCED by my link with 8 1 score games in 14 games

the Broncos haven't had a 1 score game in almost 3 months

that means nothing to you? are you just plugging your ears and screaming 'la la la' because you know I'm right?

I think you're confusing who I THINK will win with who I WANT to win.
I expect an apology from you in my Inbox within a fortnight.

and I'd also take Demaryius Thomas over ANY weapon Manning has ever had and would take Thomas/Decker (even though Wayne > Decker) over Harrison/Wayne

I'd also take Von Miller/Elvis Dumervill over Freeney/Mathis

and I'd say a healthy Sanders is a wash with Champ, but I'd lean Champ

and I'll take Denver's offensive line over most of Indy's line sans the early years
