NFL Playoffs

Post by Glen »

Anyone following the NFL Playoffs?

One of the most awesome comps going and this seasons playoffs are a cracker.

Anyone who reckons it's a nancies game because they wear all the gear cop a look at the two clips below from today's Colts and Bronco's game
Josh Cribbs cops it not once but twice from Omar Bolden.

Be interesting to see how Jared Hayne would go in this comp. :roll:

In the other playoff today Green Bays QB Aaron Rodgers played the whole game with a torn left calf muscle and they beat the Cowboys. Amazing what a $15mill pa salary will do for your commitment
It's really all about standing around drinking Dave's beer.

Too many stoppages for me to get interested........ 4 or 5 hours to play a 1 hour game :roll: :roll:
I guess they need all the stoppages to put the commercials on, to get the cash, to pay those exorbitant salaries...

If you get into it's more tactical than any other ball game around. It's a little like Chess with huge hits. Watching a good team build a play from one of the field to the other is really interesting to watch.

4-5 hours Brad? More like 2 - 2.5

Packers are up against it Pinchy. I'd like to see them get it. Aaron Rodgers is phenomenal but they've got to beat the Seahawks in Seattle with Rodgers on one leg.

I reckon the Superbowl might be Patriots v Seahawks

Jarryd Hanye's progress is interesting to watch now training has started. If he makes it I would watch the 49ers attacking plays to see how he goes, would love to see an Aussie League player beat the yanks at their own game :D

After going to the U.S. And meeting up with friends over there and going to actually watch a game it's amazing and once you know what's going on its even better. I wish I had fox so I could watch more.

Pre season starts this month. I think Hayne will struggle if he gets a start. He hasn't really had a good run with a starting lineup yet and I don't think he's run a play with Kaepernick yet so it's hard to tell how he'll fit in. It will be interesting to see how he goes as he's relatively small and slow by comparison to the guys like Marshawn Lynch who are the gun running backs in the league

I dunno I watched his highlights, he doesn't look any more impressive than Hayne's highlight reels!?
