Colts @ Ravens 3:30

Vikings @ Packers 7:30

Wont be bothering with a stream for the Colts game, but will join the Vikes game festivities

Do we need the Ravens to lose for any reason?

the only reason we would need the ravens to lose is if the chiefs dont win either of the next two games, we could in theory steal a wild card at 8-8.

If the chiefs are 8-8 to finish the regular season i would rather they just not make the playoffs at that point.

**** it, count me in for the Ravens game... nothing better on tv

I knew Vinatieri had been around a long time, but not 22 years long... wow

Technically the Bills have the 6 seed and the Ravens are out, but due to tiebreakers, the Ravens get back into the 6 seed this weekend if they win. Doesn't matter what the Bills do.

Right now that doesn't affect the Chiefs either way, unless the Titans lose then the Ravens will be in the 5 seed and lined up to face KC.

I'm not sure if a wildcard is possible for us at 8-8

Flacco to Companaro... The Italian Connection

Raven win hurts the Raiders and Chargers

Yes, they are scary. Hoping for an improbable upset today.

If we can't beat Baltimore at home we may as well not even make the playoffs

The ageless Frank Gore evens it up, lets hope this is a good game

Oh man. That was a bad sack.

Texas Tech Red Raiders vs S. Florida was a hell of a game. S. Florida pulled it off but TTRR gave them all they could handle.

This Ravens defense has had a hard time preventing the Colts offense from moving the ball up and down the field...

Patrick is probably pretty disappointed.

Jeremy Maclin inactive

shocker

Much respect, old man nearly nailed it

If the Chiefs win tomorrow, the Raiders will be eliminated

That thing might have been good from 57. Pretty good effort for a 44 year old kicker.

Already are from the division. Would need almost every WC candidate to lose out to make playoffs. Raiders are done

Them and the Dolphins both are cooked, fried... don't know why the networks even acknowledge them having playoff hopes.

A Raiders playoff berth would actually ensure KC wins the division

Raiders are dumb

Can't believe people are afraid of the Ravens. Chiefs score 17 in a playoff game and the Ravens would be done.

2nd best defense in AFC next to Jags...

So scoring that 17 may not be easy but their offense is trash

No Jimmy Smith.. no worries. Their offense has started to get it together a bit though

Chiefs-Ravens will be another 18-16ish game. Who gets the 18?

I imagine it will be cold and possibly windy so that helps the defenses too.

...it was cold the last time they beat us @ Arrowhead in the playoffs.

I remember Morten Andersen wanted to play until he was 50, Vinatieri might make it.

Ravens have a better defense and are used to cold weather

i could really use a tug to Doyle on indy

Id really rather not deal with the Ravens.

Man you guys are so weird about the Ravens. We beat them by double digits. I'm calling it right now

Of course I start Wallace this week and he gets a lot of action early only to not see another target the entire second half

Much rather go up against Tennesee, but their last 2 are the Rams and Jags. They probably aren't making the playoffs at this rate.

Ravens will edge out the lowly ass Colts, at home... cant imagine why anyone would fear them in the playoffs

Swear I'll never understand what happened to Ozzie Newsome, the guy somehow lost his drafting prowess... they seemed like one of those Steelers type teams that could keep it rolling indefinitely for the longest time because of his team building ability

Been awhile since I've seen a clutch blocked punt

Colts recover the ball on the Ravens 30 yard line with 2:45 min. remaining - Can the Colts pull this off?

Hell no. Their shot was to run back the blocked punt.

J.C. the Colts could get rolled...3 & 5

Colts are trash and their play calling is even worse. Ravens struggled to beat this team. Not worried at all about Baltimore.

Colts being the Colts...:D

They called that shit against the Chiefs vs the Raiders earlier this year

How was that not PI? It was so obvious...

I hated to root for the Colts but, Ravens win....

Prime giving love to the Chiefs, while LaDainian Tomlinson showing the hate...

Like seeing Deion preach it.

He's wrong, though: Chiefs have proved that ANYBODY can beat them in the playoffs.

I’m not scared of this Ravens team. More scared of the Chiefs going full Cheufs

I was at Arrowhead in October 1999 when the Patriots lost on a missed chip shot field goal by Vinatieri. It was in my endzone too lol. Section 110 went nuts when he missed that. We totally choked that game away though and deserved to lose.

That was Vinatieri's 4th season. Damn.

J.C. Prime and LaDainian needs to work with a personal stylist to determine which styles would be best to wear on NFLN. The red outfits hurt my eyes. :D

That’s what happens when the NFL Network wrongfully terminates their wardrobe person after more than a decade due to her filing a sexual harassment lawsuit against the network.

That's often what it comes down to.

Thanks for the info. I was not aware of the lawsuit.

However, they did not want to hire a male stylist? Pluck one from NYC. They have male stylists in every designer shop and department stores throughout the city.

They dress men from head to toe down to their socks and shoes right down to street clothes - Tees and the latest pair of jeans. Men stand in the dressing room while the staff runs around the store - pulling shit from everywhere. :D

Edit: Free of charge...

1 play, 1 injury.

What is Keenums ceiling... Bulger and Esiasons bastard child?

Ted Thompson looked like he was on thorazine, some crazed old man sitting in the loony bin dayroom

Hundley sucks and the Packers are so screwed when Rodgers is done. It's not even funny how little talent this team has.

Nobody is watching the MIN / GB game - How do the Vikings look?

Thanks Jerry Reese for letting Linval Joseph go...Enjoy watching NFL games exactly where you belong - on the couch at home.

lots of drops by Packer receivers.

Vikings winning 13=0, Packers have had their chances

Thanks, HemiEd...The Vikings defense as good as advertised - I missed most of the game.

TIA

They shouldn't have a shut out. Twice down to the 10ish with no score yet.

It is hard to believe, but it almost looks like the Packer receivers got paid off. Holy shit, at least 6 catches now, most were perfectly placed. Looks fishy.

Packers should have the lead, but it is 13-0.

The Vikes have missed on a couple of long would be TD throws too. One to Diggs and Thielen

That last one was so disgusting, Demetrious Harris facepalmed

Yes this. If I knew the Chiefs were showing up with their A or even B+ game then we are beating any of these wildcard teams. Until I actually see the Chiefs win a playoff game at home since I have been a fan, I have a hard time being too confident. Doesn't seem to matter what players are on the team, some kind of memorable, crazy type of game happens.

Positive that last play would have been flagged DPI on the Chiefs 100% of the time.

Hundley ****ing sucks ass

Yeah, Chris Collingsworth even said Favre would be pissed. They replayed about a half dozen that should have been caught. Probably a lot of $$ on the Packers getting 8 at home. :D

At least four by him I think, two back to back to kill the second deep drive.

Hundley makes Smith look like Montana

Viking shut out Green bay, proving Rogers is the driving force.

The Colts did their best to slow down the Ravens, of course.

I was watching Mini at at friends house and thought it rude to post. Mini looks good. They have beaten every playoff team except Carolina (at Car). It is scary. They have a great chance. I do not know if I can take it from Mini fans.
