NFL Playoff Round I Thread - Page 2

zums · 01-09-2010, 04:56 PM

I can understand them throwing Theismann in there as (despite being an idiot) he has broadcasting experience seeing as he used to regularly do the Sunday night game. What i DONT understand is #1 - who thought Joe Gibbs would be a logical 3rd person in the booth and #2 - who the hell agreed and ok'd the decision....

There are a total of 4 games this weekend, with the majority of the NFL season over and the college season completed.... and you couldnt find a better 3rd person who has, you know, actually announced a football game for a freeking NFL PLAYOFF GAME?!?!

I thought this game would be fairly boring anyway with the strong running game/defense mentality of both teams, but ugh...... these guys are not helping

Karlifornia · 01-09-2010, 04:58 PM

Yeah, Gibbs, besides stumbling over every 3rd word, just doesn't have a voice that's appealing to listen to. It's fitting that he was involved in NASCAR, cause he sounds just like one of those drivers talking through the static-y radio.

Young Drachma · 01-09-2010, 04:59 PM

I was watching earlier and thought "is that Joe Gibbs? What's he doing in the booth?" Glad to confirm it was indeed him.

Lathum · 01-09-2010, 05:05 PM

Glad I' not the only one who thinks the announcing is an embarrassment. You would never know this was a playoff game.

RainMaker · 01-09-2010, 05:07 PM

The announcing is almost as embarassing as going into a playoff game without a punter on hand.

Lathum · 01-09-2010, 05:11 PM

I like Tony Romo despite myself.

JPhillips · 01-09-2010, 05:17 PM

So far the Bengals are winning the big categories; turnovers, penalties and drops.

btw- What the hell was that kickoff?

Radii · 01-09-2010, 05:23 PM

Well that was an awful sequence for the Jets, wow.

RainMaker · 01-09-2010, 05:24 PM

Wow. That's two really costly penalties.

JPhillips · 01-09-2010, 06:02 PM

Benson is a beast.

and John Riggins was a heck of a back.

JPhillips · 01-09-2010, 06:13 PM

dola

Please let this loss bring the joy of a Bratkowski firing. This offense is painful.

MrDNA · 01-09-2010, 06:18 PM

"Carson Palmer has been high all night."

Well, I guess that would explain it.

JediKooter · 01-09-2010, 06:22 PM

Looks like Palmer went to Jamarcus Russell's Quarterback School.

PilotMan · 01-09-2010, 06:24 PM

I hate that penalty. What's the defender supposed to do, kiss him? His foot wasn't even on the ground yet.

PilotMan · 01-09-2010, 06:26 PM

Laces OUT Marino!

JediKooter · 01-09-2010, 06:26 PM

Damn, Steven Hawking can kick field goals better than the Bengals kicker.

Karlifornia · 01-09-2010, 06:29 PM

Bye, Bengals. So I guess Mark Sanchez' first season qualifies as a success now?

JediKooter · 01-09-2010, 06:33 PM

Do the Bengals think there's another game they have to play next week? Wow, what a way to choke at the end of the game.

Young Drachma · 01-09-2010, 06:35 PM

That defense is crazy.

JediKooter · 01-09-2010, 06:37 PM

So last weeks game against the Jets looks like it was not a fluke for sure now.

Thomkal · 01-09-2010, 06:40 PM

nice choke job there Cincy. I'm sure the GM will hand that kicker a pink slip as soon as he enters the locker room.

JetsIn06 · 01-09-2010, 06:41 PM

Yeah, Graham's had some good years but I can't see him playing for them after this year. He has been terrible. It'll be like Vandercrap in Indy.

Because of all the snap problems at the start of the season, I wonder if that plays with his mind at all. Just thinking...is the snap going to be good this time and not focusing on the kick.

Young Drachma · 01-09-2010, 07:02 PM

I wonder if Sanchez wishes he'd stayed at USC this year?

jbergey22 · 01-09-2010, 07:04 PM

Game of the week coming up. I believe we will see a lot of points being put up.

Comey · 01-09-2010, 07:24 PM

I have zero faith in the Eagles against the Cowboys. They are an awful matchup for this team.

jbergey22 · 01-09-2010, 07:39 PM

Yeah I couldnt have been more off. Eagles cant do anything and the Cowboys keep messing up. So far this game is a slopfest.

tucker rocky · 01-09-2010, 07:45 PM

I guess defenders aren't allowed to defend against the pass.
Gift TD, with that horrible PI call.

Why? He hit him before the ball got there. One of the few decent PI calls I've seen. I'm amazed they had the guts to call it.

Eaglesfan27 · 01-09-2010, 07:47 PM

Maclin!!

kingfc22 · 01-09-2010, 07:47 PM

Sweet!

gstelmack · 01-09-2010, 07:48 PM

And Vick throws a 76-yard TD strike as I'm typing that last post.

jbergey22 · 01-09-2010, 07:50 PM

Is that his first TD pass of the year?

sabotai · 01-09-2010, 07:50 PM

If the Eagles end up losing this game, especially if McNabb continues to do nothing, Philly sports talk radio is going ot be SO FUN this week!

Eaglesfan27 · 01-09-2010, 07:52 PM

That was nice

No, Jbergey, he threw at least 1 earlier in the year, I think he has thrown a few.

kingfc22 · 01-09-2010, 07:52 PM

INT baby! That did not hit the ground.

Nevermind.
Looked at the replay again, and yes defender made contact before the ball got there.

Agreed. Definitely not enough evidence to overturn it from those angles.

tucker rocky · 01-09-2010, 07:56 PM

A good call.
Ball did hit the ground.

EagleFan · 01-09-2010, 07:57 PM

BS, these refs suck!!!

That was scary. Good job by Rocca.
