looks like denver is going to start manning. kinda torn but i think its the right move. can always bring os off the bench. I just worry about turnovers with peyton and his arm strength. i think at this point though, he would act more as a game manager, and a pretty good one. his playoff record isn't too good though, esp first round. prob going to be his last chance at another lombardi trophy so maybe he has got some fire in there. tough call for kubiak though and he will get shit either way unless we win probably even if we do win.
adam gase earned himself another interview with philly. They've got a lot of talent on that team, but the qb situation sucks. lovie smith got fired too. interested to see where some of these coaches end up. I doubt anyone is in a hurry to coach for the niners though...some of these owners are not exactly easy people to work with. i find it kind of amusing who some of these organizations place the blame on. but money and winning and stuff ya know?
looks like a lot of folks are counting the bengals out. Not sure I surely understand the people that seem to be abandoning dalton so quickly. fans are finicky. not too long ago in denver, fans were booing peyton off the field. he comes back and the place explodes. wtf? also kind of surprised to see some folks picking the texans over the chiefs. they do have a solid d and jj watt. so it could be interesting.
two days til playoffs bros! so stoked. %)

I completely agree with you on your harsh criticism of NFL owners. they are so diluted with mountains of $$$ (eg: Jerry Jones) and usually half-senile from dementia/old age (eg: golden years Al Davis) that they are so freakin' out of touch with the common young athlete/hard-working coach, that it's not even funny. not to mention how out of touch they have to be with the average NFL fan??
as a Steelers fan, I fucking hit the jack pot with ownership - the Rooney Family. NFL owners are a their best when they just trust their team hires and sit back and let them run the show. plenty of NFL fans don't realize the direct correlation between your team's ownership = your team's overall success
Pittsburgh has had solid ownership since forever, been slightly above average in regards to recent success, and most importantly they've only had like 3 coaches in the last 50 years
compare that to a team like Cleveland Brown, they got an asshole owner, always fire their coaches, always fire their GMs

This weekend I basically like all the favorites ...
but Marshawn Lynch out. If I were making book I'd adjust SEA to -3. Looks like it's at -4. Not sure if I want to bet on that game now. Was going to make Seattle on the spread part of a parlay tomorrow but now I'm not so sure (Redskins, Seattle, RED/GP under)
Tomorrow going with KC and PIT (hi, axl) a buck each. $50 parlay for KC, PIT, KC/HOU over

this had to have been the most mediocre season of all time. in the NFC, there's only one team (Atlanta at 8-8) that didn't have a losing record that missed the playoffs. that's 9 teams below .500 with 1 at .500. the AFC didn't fair much better with 7 below .500, 2 at .500 and the Jets as the only team above .500 to miss the playoffs. 16 teams below, 3 at, and only 1 above for the whole league....
you can make an entire schedule for someone out of just playing teams below .500. let that statement sink in for a moment
the Redskins only played 3 teams that finished above .500 - the Pats, the Jets and the Panthers. let's break down other NFC playoff teams - the Packers won 3 out of 7 games facing teams above .500. the Vikings 2 out of 6, Panther 4 out of 4, Cardinals 4 out of 6, Seahawks 3 out of 7. so therefore, the Redskins 0 for 3 ain't THAT out of the ordinary for an NFC playoff team

Afc wildcard should be interesting.
Steelers chiefs has the makings of a legendary game
Pulling for the Texans just bc I hate the chiefs.

you think the steelers can beat the broncos and the chiefs can beat the patriots in the next round? i guess both are possible.

Well the bye is a double edged sword. Teams can lick their wounds, have time to prepare, etc...but whoever wins the wildcard round is going to be on a high and have some momentum going into the second round.
I think it really cpmes down to who is ready to play. Alex Smith is a great qb and they have a good all around squad. They are going to be tough to beat, but I think they will struggle against the pats. Brady doesn't Fuck around in the playoffs tho so I would still put money on the pats.
The Steelers have an incredible offense and some great receivers that they gave Harris and talib some trouble the last game in pitt. If the offense is clicking then they might squeak by but I wouldn't count out wade Phillips d. Denver is hard to beat at home though and I think defense trumps offense so I think Denver has a slight upper hand.
And so long as Denver keeps the fucking ball away from Hillman than pitt won't get any freebies. That fumble cost Denver the game last time.
It's all about who shows up really...

Go Bengals
it's halftime and I am pretty alright with Steelers VS Bengals so far
only thing I don't like is how the Steelers are playing a low-scoring, ugly, defensive battle. this benefits Cin far more than Pitt, however it's freaking pouring rain here and that is a big factor
what has pleased me the most is how well we are running the ball. also Steelers D has completely shut down their O so far
