This is the best I can ever remember for good matchups.  I have 3 of 4 road teams winning.

Chiefs over Indy
Saints over Philly
Bengals over Chargers
49ers over Packers

Indy over Chiefs

Chiefs, Philly, Bengals, Packers. -EK

Indy
Philly
Cincy
9ers

The HIGH in GB is supposed to be zero. The low is supposed to be like negative 5. And they're predicting 100% chance of precipitation. What an ugly game condition. Methinks SF is in for a long evening. -EK

^^^ Sounds like running game temperatures to me...which is exactly what I expect SF to do, pound Green Bay's weak run-D...which is even weaker than normal without Matthews. When GB tried to stop the run in our regular season game, Kaepernick ripped them a new one through the air. I'm predicting SF has over 250 yards rushing in this one, with both Gore and Kaepernick (a Wisconsin kid) eclipsing the 100-yard mark.

Chiefs over the Colts
Eagles over the Saints
Bengals over the Chargers
49ers over the Packers

Colts
Eagles
Chargers
Niners

Just saw the forecast in Green Bay. I'm changing my pick, from SF to GB

49ers ( Homer Pick )
Chiefs
Bengals
Saints ( Upset Pick )

Packers
Bengals
Chiefs
Eagles

I really can't see those California and Big Easy types handling extreme cold but I can see the Chiefs talent teumping Andrew Luck and Co. in a dome.

Jamaal Charles has left the game with what looks to be a concussion

Nobody seems to want to play defense

10-7 Chiefs at the end of the first quarter.  Charles has not returned

The "fraud" Chiefs are having their way with Indy's secondary. -EK

And Donnie Avery just shredded the Colts defense for a 79 yard touchdown bomb.  Now 17-7 Chiefs early in the second

And the Trent Richardson trade is looking worse and worse for Indy.  He just fumbled on his first carry.

24-7 Chiefs on the road and with the best player on the team not in the game. Paging Spider and the fraud talk. -EK

Just saw the replay of the Richardson fumble. He fumbled without even getting hit.

He's been ridiculously bad. His best play since the trade was as a decoy on that 4th and inches. -EK

Seeing some ex dolphins

And they say, "Thank you Mr. Ireland for not paying us."

21 point KC lead. Is this one over? Luck is good, and it's a home game, but methinks this one's about done.

Edit. This is over. Luck with the INT. Wonder if KC will give Denver more of a challenge than the other two games? -EK

That int might be the nail in the coffin. Might be...

Looks like Indy will not go quietly into the night

^^^^^^

Never mind.  KC picked it off again on a tipped ball

^^^^^

Actually the Colts just scored again to cut it to ten

 HA HA HA HA HA HA!!! Yep, its over!!!!!!  ::)

What a game!

This game might win an ESPY!

Possible Instant Classic. It all comes down to this. 4th & 11....

KC=FRAUD!

DEBATE OVER!

Yes, going on road and hanging 44 on Indy with your 2nd and 3rd string RB and losing by 1 point makes them a fraud. Zero football IQ, and not fooling anyone. The only reason you posted in this thread was to troll me. -EK

Picking my jaw up of my chest.   Last time I saw something like this was Houston vs Buffalo in 1992.  Wow, just wow!!

They blew a 38-10 lead in the 2nd half of a playoff game.  No excuses! They CHOKED! ie were Frauds!

You're the one who trolled Spider on his claim that KC was a fraud.  You were proven wrong so take your lumps like a man.

Its not so much that they are frauds. They went away offensively from what got them the lead. They underestimated Indy's ability to come back. Just like the announcers did. Congrats to Indy for not giving up.

Losing doesn't make them a fraud. If they would have gone into Indy and gotten thumped 45-0, THAT makes them a fraud. Losing by a single point on an 80 yard bomb with less than 5 minutes left is a close loss. How does that make them a fraud? -EK

Fat Andy used a timeout AFTER the 2 minute warning. That is so Meta.

World Peace?

The two teams combined for 1049 yards and 58 first downs.  Both playoff records

38-10 SECOND HALF LEAD in the playoffs....they lost. Nuff said. No positive way to spin that.  When you are on the road you only commit 2 penalties and get 3 INT's and 1 fumble recover (4 turnovers total), have a 28 point lead  in the 3rd quarter and STILL LOSE....you are a fraud! I mean WTF did Luck need to throw a 4th INT and Trent have to have another lost fumble to make it easier for KC?


Andy is bad. Always comes up short.

The Colts did fumble a second time near the goal line. Andrew Luck picked it and leaped over the pile too score

KC lost their best offensive player and MVP candidate, and then his back-up. They lost their two best defensive players, one from the front-7 and one from the D-backfield and still almost held on for a win on the road in the playoffs.

Not bad for a team that went 2-14 last season. I pray that Miami can be so fraudulent next season.

^^ there are 20+ teams that would love to be as fraudulent as well.


Lost in the KC chatter is that Luck was just ridiculous in the second half, in spite of the turnovers. He's clearly heads and shoulders above anyone else from his draft class and he showed it. -EK

After seeing an offensive shootout on display in the first game, we are now enjoying a defensive slugfest in the second.   New Orleans just scored the first points of the game and lead 3-0 halfway through the second quarter

Nice passive aggressive Tannehill jab.  You can't call people trolls when you won't stop being one.

It was a great game. Props to KC for turning around from a bad season a year ago.  More props to Indy for the incredible comeback.

He really does.  He looked so lost and out of his element at the end of that game.  They used to get on him in Philly for time management (remember the Super Bowl when he was down two scores and the entire offense looked like they'd taken horse tranquilizers?) and more of it here.  I feel bad for the guy.  It's like -- he'll make you relevant, but he just can't win big games.

Page answered.  You were saying?

Funny how we had multiple people who were proudly announcing (in the middle of the game, even!) that they were ready to give me crap over calling KC "frauds."  Yet the Chiefs cough up a FOUR TOUCHDOWN SECOND HALF LEAD and you're trying to make excuses?  Is one of those excuses "Reggie Wayne didn't even play because he's on injured reserve"?

So all the big talkers who were ready to pounce on me after this game:  where are you now?  Are you still (http://www.thedolphinsmakemecry.com/forums/index.php?topic=22132.msg298308#msg298308) going to include the word "fraud" in every post you make to me for the next year?

The Chiefs are frauds and I called it months ago.  You didn't have to make it about you, but you chose to, so... enjoy your crow.

I appreciate what success the Chiefs had this season for one simple reason...by finishing over .500, my beloved 49ers get another 2nd round pick instead of a 3rd rounder.


No, I really don't give enough of a rat's ass about you to put that kind of effort in. Are you going to act like someone nailed you to a cross every time the word comes up in casual conversation?

The big talkers are in "SPIN MODE" trying to play the...."well it was a good season" card.....guess what it wasn't a good season. When you blow a 38-10 lead in the 2nd half of a playoff game....and you get knocked out of the playoffs your season was an utter failure. If KC lost 17-16, hey you could play the good season card, nice little turnaround. Once they went up 38-10 in the 3rd quarter....when you BLOW that lead, you can't say it was a good season. Their season went up in flames and the season is a failure

Let's break down KC's season, beat the Houston, Bills, and Browns when those 3 teams played  their 3rd string QB's (oh, and KC almost lost all 3 games...scores were 17-16, 23-13, 23-17).....they beat Oakland twice (big deal)....beat Jax, Wash, Tenn and the Giants (again big deal). Their only "decent" wins were Dallas and Philly way back in Weeks 2 and 3!!! Oh, and KC ended the season losing 6 of their last 8!!!!!!!

Their losses this year, SD (twice), Denver (twice), Indy (regular season and playoffs)........so pretty much every decent team they played beat them and KC went 2-4 in their own division this year. I'm sorry they are 100% a fraud! And blowing a 38-10 3rd quarter lead (no injury excuses either at that point, if it wasn't an excuse to get that lead it can't be an excuse when you blow it).....just cements the fact they are a fraud!

The only difference between Reid and Marty Schottenheimer is that Reid actually went to 1 Super Bowl once. Otherwise their careers are mirror images of each other. They CHOKE every year!

This.  There is no excuse for blowing a 28 point lead regardless of who was hurt or not.  If KC is like the 1992 Houston Oilers, there will be repercussions among the defensive staff.

Nice try.  You're the one that tried to make it personal; my comments on the Chiefs' legitimacy had nothing to do with you or teams you support, yet for some reason you felt the need to put that kind of "I'm going to throw this in your face for a year if KC does well" nonsense out there.

And now that put-up-or-shut-up time has arrived and KC delivered a playoff choke for the ages, now you're above it all and I'm being oversensitive?  A 9-0 team lost 6 of their final 8 games, getting bounced in their first playoff game (that they were winning by 4 touchdowns in the 3rd quarter).  KC is literally the worst 9-0 team in NFL history (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mU9EG78Gp5A).  That's what I call a fraud.

You took your stand, you chose poorly.  Deal with it.

I missed two awesome playoff games yesterday, but it was worth it to see my friend

Anyway, let's give credit to Luck and the Colts before calling the Chiefs chokers.

Also, I'd rather have the Chiefs season than the Dolphins season any day.

But that's not the topic or the debate at hand. That has nothing to do with that and nothing to do with the Dolphins. The debate was...."IS KC A FRAUD" and the answer is an overwhelming YES!

Thank you for your ongoing and overstated opinion. I understand that a team that goes from 2-14 to 11-5 is a fraud (insert whichever appropriate replacement word doesn't make you whine like a teething baby) in your world. Move along, now...nothing to see here.

What does last season have to do with anything?  KC was 9-0 this season.  And that 9-0 record did not remotely represent that team's ability to compete against quality opponents, as evidenced by their following 8 games.

i.e. it was fraudulent

Yes, Spidey, for the 1,427th time, I understand you think they are...that word.

Moving along... My roommate and most of his friends are diehard Eagles fans, and last night's game took a heavy toll on their mental well-being. Much bourbon was consumed in the pursuit of intangible drownings.

^^^^

Really?   Some people sure can get way too absorbed in these things.

I can't consume alcohol so I have to drown my sorrows in food when I'm down, but that only happens for serious things.

So far the Chargers defense has held back Any Dalton and Co.   10-7 Cincy going into the locker room

I keep seeing former Dolphins

Andy Dalton has thrown two costly picks in the second half.  San Diego leads 20-10 with 8 minutes left in the 4th quarter

Richard Marshall had a key pick earlier.  He's contributing while Dimitri Patterson made $4.5 million to treat his groin.  Nice going Fireland.

I thought Dalton could have run with that ball.

The idiot is the coach who called for the bomb on fourth and short.  And one again Marvin Lewis proves he is inept at winning in the playoffs.

Ronnie Brown just busted a 58 yard touchdown run.  Mwanwhile we all know what Daniel Thomas and Lamar Miller did.

Switching to Green Bay where Erin Andrews looks like a combination of Pippi Longstocking and Randy from A Christmas Story.  They are actually heating the beer kegs to keep the beer warm enough too for through the taps.  Temperature is 5 degrees with a wind chill factor of -10

Freezing beer requires serious cold

That's unfair. He had the benefit of having a GM smart enough to build an offensive line capable enough to actually block. You can't have that in today's NFL.

Cold enough to freeze beer and to bring the pets inside. Not cold enough for Kaepernick to wear sleeves.

The better play would have been to drop at the 1.

Like in the 2011 Jets-Pats divisional game when the Jets RB scored when if he had fallen down at the one, the Jets could have run out the clock.  The Patriots nearly came back to win that game.

So far Aaron Rodgers has done nothing in this freezing cold.  Frisco can move the ball but can't finish drives.  6-0 Niners at the end of one.

Tremon Williams just picked off a Kaepernick pass, returned it ten yards the other way and lowered his head and laid the wood on Kaepernick with a helmet to helmet hit.   Can Rodgers and Co. take advantage?

And Rodgers engineers a meticulous drive capped off by a 5 yard touchdown pass to Jordy Nelson.  Pack leads 7-6 with six minutes left in the half

Yep. Great mix of running & passing.

^^^^

Unfortunately the Pack defense can't stop Frisco.  13-7 Niners.

Wow, the Packer D actually made a stop.  Unfortunately Rodgers and Co failed to take advantage

You still have to give the Packer's defense credit for keeping them in the game.

^^^^^

Now I can see the cold is starting to get to the Niners

I don't care who you are. Cold is cold. And its only getting colder.

What a play by Mr. Discount Double Check.

That was amazing.  Reminds me of a couple of college quarterbacks.  Green Bay will at least tie this game barring some calamity.

That was pure, unadulterated execution.

The scores are coming faster now.  Tied at 20 with 5 minutes left and Frisco about to get the ball

SF in that spot where they want to score but not score too quick. That can be tricky sometimes. Can't get too cute

And that was an example of adulterated blitzing. Gotta know your role.

What a game and what a freakin weekend

Congrats to the Niners for playing TEAM football. Congrats to Green Bay for showing up.

Niners win on a last second field goal.  Both EK and myself have laid a goose egg this weekend

Heck of a weekend!

At least you didn't talk yourself out of a 3-1 weekend.

SF is one of those teams that do what they do, home or road don't matter. That is the ONE team that Seattle wants no part of.

And if SF gets to the Super Bowl it will take an "A" game by Peyton Manning to beat them. Not sure any other AFC Team could beat them on a neutral field

....and Dalton proves once again he sucks.  No drive..nothing.

Kapernick was amazing.  Tannehill needs to follow this guys intensity.  That's how you play QB in a cold and hostile environment.

He's terrible. Guy is just awful in the playoffs. He had 3 INT's two years ago in the playoff loss vs Houston. Last year he threw for only 127 yards (most came late in garbage time) in a playoff loss vs Houston as well as 1 INT. This year 2 INT's and a lost fumble. He just sucks!

Did y'all see how close that FG was to being blocked?  The ball went between his arms at the elbow.

Andy Reid > Marvin Lewis

It's no battle of champions

It's not but at least Reid has won a few playoff games and appeared in a Super Bowl.  Lewis hasn't won a single postseason game as a head coach.  Not one.

I'm glad my 49ers kept me from getting the prediction goose egg this weekend. Predictions aside, I'm just glad that SF won that game. Green Bay played us tougher than even I expected.

It just gets tougher from here...a trip to Carolina. Panthers beat us by a single point in our home stadium in week 10, though we didn't have Crabtree or Aldon Smith back at that point. Still, Carolina's defense gave Kaepernick fits. Hopefully we can sneak out another road win on this playoff run. Also pulling for the Saints to beat the Seahawks, just so we can get one final playoff game at Candlestick.

Brutal weekend. Better luck next week. -EK

The NO-SEA has some serious revenge potential for the "Beast Mode" game a few years back (when SEA was 7-9, everyone was trashing them for being a division winner with a losing record, then they beat NO and "legitimized" themselves).

Looks like el diablo and I got the most right at 3-1.

Just read an article that the Packers player was offsides, so if he blocked it they would have moved it up 5 yards and kicked again.

Not if the refs missed the call.  And if there was no flag then they did

There was a flag.  The game was over, kick was made, so it was declined.

All you this past weekend. I changed a pick before Sunday. Damn Packers.

 ;D
Oh I didn't see that.  Then yay me.  I always see everyone on here going crazy to prove people wrong and prove themselves right, even going to the extreme to prove a point with their argument.  So in saying that....

Nanana boo boo, I'm better than all of you you.  ;D

Well done sir. -EK
