Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Payton looked to be off his game today. An short 1 yard passes will not get the job done when you need first downs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Utah Bob #35998 Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Overall a very poor performance by the Broncs. I'm blaming it on the grass. And not the grass on the field. I think it wil be a different team next year. Without Fox and probably without Manning. Not to:-)mention some free agents like Welker and Thomas. Looks like several years of rebuilding. Again.

Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Well, tomorrow you can root for Oregon or Ohio State, Sam. Rebuilding is a way of life in the NFl, Bob. The Seahawks had thirty years of rebuilding before they hit paydirt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hacker, SASS #55963 Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Was hoping for Denver to do better. I predict Patriots and Seattle for the championship. Denver had an off year this year. Peyton definitely not at the peak of his game. Of course, I am not a broncos fan. I am a patriots fan, you see, I am from New England. And the Patriots didn't exactly have a peak year also. While hosting the AFC championship, they have been off their game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Church Key, SASS # 33713 Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Folks - I'm a Redskins fan; do not have to worry about the playoffs as they rarely get there, then last one game.

Blackwater 53393 Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Folks - I'm a Redskins fan; do not have to worry about the playoffs as they rarely get there, then last one game. As much as I hate to say it, the Cowboys won that game. A crappy rule. Actually the Cowboys lost LAST week. It just took 'til today for it to catch up to them. 88 was juggling the ball when his feet were on the ground, "while making a football move" and when he hit the ground, ball first, he couldn't hang on. They have interpreted that rule the same all year. Today was no exception. The call after Green Bay got the first down on the previous series where the Green Bay player was flagged for a late hit was JUST AS BOGUS!! Perhaps more so, given that he was blocking for a player who was still on his feet and it was a clean block. When the Dallas player threw a punch, which was shown on replay and was not flagged and ejected, per the rules, that play was just as negative. Had the play been called correctly, Green Bay would just as likely have scored a touchdown and gone ahead at that point. That plus the later Green Bay touchdown, and in all likelihood a field goal on that final drive would have resulted in another seven Green Bay points, preserving the margin of victory that was the result. Starting with the Green Bay/Seattle game at the first of 2013 when the refs got it wrong on the final play of that game, giving the Seahawks that win, officiating has been at best horrible, and more likely suspect. I can't remember a time when it was worse! Replay has made the refs sloppy and worse, lazy, and the booth officials are too reluctant to make a correct call if it involves overturning a call on the field, even if the mistake or missed call is egregious!

Charlie Harley, #14153 Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 "Actually, I never have a bad day because of a sports team. It's just a few hours entertainment." Mostly I'm with UB. Occasionally I'll be upset or excited for an hour or so after a college game. But the pro's? Barely a minute's consideration after the final whistle. And if there I'm not watching the game with friends or family and having fun with them, not much of a reason to watch the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noz Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 as I said on another thread, Dallas lost, all's right with the world. But it does seem to me that there have been a large number of missed calls with the new oversight rules in effect. Maybe more that before? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 I'm torn about the college playoff. I live in the Pac 12 country and I came from the Big 10 country. As a lad, I was enamored with the orange and blue of the FIGHTING ILLINI. Hey, I was a kid. But the Notre Dame team won my heart. Of course they are not Big 10, but I recall Frank Lahey and Johnny Lujack. I am neither a fan of Oregon or Ohio State. So my dilemma is what to do what to do? None of those other teams are playing.

Bugs Bonney SASS # 10171 Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Some of you folks take this thing pretty serious considering the outcome of a children's game played by overpaid prima donnas on a field hundreds of miles away does not impact your life, family, health and income at all. As I have stated before I'm a Packer fan because of the Culture surrounding the team but if they lose next week I'll be disappointed for an hour or so. Now what would impact my life would be to get some of whatever they gave Rodgers in the locker room at the half. He wasn't limping or missing his receivers in the second half. He went from a cripple to a superstar and I suspect pharmaceutical intervention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Oregon uniforms don't make my eyes hurt, I will go with them tonight. If they wear those yellow suits, I am going with Ohio State. I am as fickle as a New York street walker.
