Hilltopper39 Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Yeah, the Bengals game got a little out of control although I will say Porter had no business being on the field so I kind for feel bad for Pacman getting a penalty for mixin it up with him. Okay I don't really feel bad for Pacman, but you get my point Porter shouldn't have been out there and certainly played a part in the outcome of the game as a coach, which shouldn't be the case. I did feel bad for the Vikings, that's a kick you have to make but ya it's still a terrible way to lose. I didn't notice any activity in this thread prior to the start of the playoffs but I'm surprised so many people had so much confidence in the Steelers, even before the Roethlisberger injury. I mean I get that they're dangerous offensively but they did lose to a bad Baltimore team 2 weeks ago and were really pretty mediocre all season, backing into the playoffs with a Jets loss. Also no Leveon Bell no DeAngelo Williams was a red flag to me, even though they did run the ball well against the Bengals. This weekend should be interesting, you would think New England, Arizona, and Denver would all be heavily favored but we're talking about Aaron Rodgers, Ben Roethlisberger, and a team that has won 11 straight being underdogs. I still think New England is the team to beat in the AFC especially since Edelman, Amendola, and Vollmer are healthy this week, but we will. Seattle @ Carolina, who knows there, as long as Russell Wilson is one the field they're in the game but I think I like Carolina at home, this feels like special year for them. Patriots Broncos AFC Panthers Cardinals NFC Patriots Cardinals Superbowl those are my predictions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philrad71 Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 ^ I would be very happy with that outcome...only as long as the Cardinals win it all, of course. Either that or I win a ton of money on my Super Bowl pools! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lameformer Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Welcome back home, Rams As a resident of a Los Angeles suburb, I am thrilled by the news! A lot of people around here still have a lot of love for the Rams! Although some people were arguing that the Raiders would have been a better choice, I feel like the Raiders have a much stronger fan base in Oakland than the Rams have in St. Louis.

PeoplemoverMatt Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 (edited) Rams approved to move to Los Angeles. Chargers approved to join them if they so choose within a year. If Chargers don't move, Raiders have next option. Nice to have the Rams back, beginning in their original LA home of the LA Coliseum.

Kinda hard to build a stadium from scratch between now and the 2016 season. The Inglewood home won't be ready until 2019, news articles say. Until then, the Coliseum will most likely be the Rams' home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jew Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Good luck being able to afford a ticket... I don't have an NFL team, but I am glad that LA held out for so long we got an owner to pay for a stadium on their own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I can't imagine what tickets will be selling for in that market in a new billion dollar stadium, yikes. One nice thing about Jacksonville, our football team might be mediocre but the stadium is great and the tickets are cheap! We had to pass on season tickets this year with the little one but plan on renewing next season, none of that seat licensing nonsense down here!

Hilltopper39 Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 ^The Cabanas and the pools aren't as expensive as you would think. The first year you had to buy the whole cabana to get access to the pools as a group of like 100 or so people for $20,000 or something, but this year I think they started sell individual tickets to the pool cabanas for about $250ish a ticket, which is all inclusive food and beverage. The non pool cabanas (the pools are really small anyways) are like $175 and those are pretty sweet. Covered air conditioned cabanas with nice couches and tvs (with Redzone and other NFL games playing) right on the upper endzone deck with all inclusive food and alcohol for $175 is a pretty nice way to experience a game.

Philrad71 Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 I'd like to see Carson Palmer go out on top! Yes...and Larry Fitzgerald too! It's not too often that you see a Pro Bowl/HOF wide receiver that isn't a prima donna anymore, but LF is one of them. Thought that I would just re-post this.... WHAT A GAME, LARRY!!!

Hilltopper39 Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Yeah I'd love to see Carson Palmer and Larry Fitzgerald win a Superbowl, both of those guys have been class acts for a long time and deserve a win like that in their career. With that being said Carolina and New England both looked really good this weekend. I think the Carolina Arizona game will be a classic and really don't know who to pick there but I kind of get a feeling that New England wins by a touchdown. Peyton just doesn't seem to be the same player he once was and Brady is better than ever. As good as that Denver's defense has been playing when New England is healthy they're really tough to defend. Then again if the Superbowl is Denver vs Carolina it will be the first time in league history that the two worst uniforms in the NFL are in a Superbowl, so hopefully we can avoid that.

Hilltopper39 Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Well we don't have to worry about that team making the Superbowl anytime soon..... and yes those are bad but I don't think they're as bad as Denver's and the two tone helmet thing does look slightly better in person. Denver's pants look like some high school team from the late 90's with that side leg swoop thing, and that shade of orange is hideous, almost Tennessee Vol level bad but not quite.

Carolina I thought looked great. 2nd half they went into cruise control and it almost cost them, but there was no question they were in control. I wasn't sold on the Pats. Fumble and Andy Reid's inability to coach a hurry up offense were the difference. They didn't dominate---did just enough. I will agree that it is just so hard to doubt them at this point because they always seem to find a way to win, but just watching the film won't make you go "wow!"

I will agree that it is just so hard to doubt them at this point because they always seem to find a way to win, but just watching the film won't make you go "wow!" Yeah , they didn't dominate per se, but they did have a 2 score lead most of the game. They kind of quietly coasted through the second half, I was looking at some game stats this morning and didn't realize they only had possession for 22 minutes and ran 27 fewer plays than KC. And I still don't think they have fully unleashed Gronk, mostly because they haven't needed to. He's probably the one offensive weapon left in the playoffs for all teams that nobody has an answer for. They certainly have some holes in their game but as long as he's healthy and Brady is upright I feel like they can beat anyone. The early line for that game is NE -3 on the road at Denver. That's probably about where it should be, but I've got a feeling a lot of money will come in on Denver and that line will drop down to -1.5 or -2, which might be exactly what Vegas wants......

Philrad71 Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Was awesome to hear him send a shout out to Chris Mortensen completely unsolicited. That definitely sums up the type of guy he is. Yes, that was awesome, wasn't it? Then he said that the team deserves the game ball and not him - because it's a team sport. I wonder if he has a shot at a coaching position once retired? If not, broadcasting for sure. As far as the other games yestersday, despite the fact that NE has it's flaws, I think that Denver has shown that they have more and that might cost them next weekend. If it weren't for the game-changing Toussaint fumble, we very well may have seen the Steelers in the AFC title game. The Broncos did not look like a SB caliber team...much less a playoff team. And I don't think that you can place blame on Manning as several of his passes were spot on and his receivers just plain dropped the ball. If they miss those chances next weekend, NE will no doubt make them pay for it dearly. Denver also needs to do something that KC failed to do and that is to put pressure on Brady. IF they can do that, they can win. If not, this game could get ugly in a hurry. Seattle's terrible start was truly surprising, but their resiliency was impressive. I almost thought that we were going to see another Buffalo Bills/Houston Oilers comeback! Just goes to show how hard it is to recover from a horrible start. Carolina looked impressive at the start and then seemed to coast. I really haven't seen enough of them this year to know if that defensive lapse in the 2nd half is to be taken seriously or not. With that being said, my predictions for next weekends games are: New England: 27 Denver: 17 Carolina: 24 Arizona: 27 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
