NFL Postseason Megathread: Playoffs in the Post-Orton Era

[derspiess]

Only good commercial was the Mountain Dew Kickstart-- the dancing dog still has me laughing.

How could you not like the avocado commercial? 

It was decent.

I liked that one, cavemen and the very first draft day.   

That was a great commercial.  Poor polar bear.

  That was a good commercial.

I spent the last 2 days up in Seattle.  I caught the very start of the local sports talk radio show at 6:00AM Monday on the way up.  It was delicious.

Everyone kept talking about the game and the play and how horrible it was, I loved to tell them that I was from out of town and thought it was pretty good.

Patriots were the youngest team to ever win a Superbowl, at an average age of 25.2 years old. 

[Eddie Teach]

Brady is not 25, however.

Brady is not 25, however.

Unlike Manning he doesn't have a bionic neck, is over all healthier and is sixteen months younger to boot. I think we can expect to see another two, maybe three good years out of him.

Fixed.

Really I blame the NFC for this.  If you want to beat the Patriots in the Super Bowl, you have to send the Giants to do the job, no matter how badly they seem to suck.  Sure the Seahawks were the better team, but principled sacrifices have to be made to combat the greater evil.

The San Francisco Giants don't play football.





Neither do the New York Giants.

[derspiess]

If the New York football Giants can just get to the playoffs they're golden.  Tough part is getting there.

The critical difference is the Giants know how not to screw up after a miracle catch when playing against the Prime Evil.

  NYG are 24-24 in the playoffs.  Not golden. 

They have won 4 of the 5 Super Bowls they have appeared in.  Perhaps that is what you meant.

Fine by me

I meant in recent years.  As in the Eli Manning-Tom Coughlin era.  Their playoff losses in the 1930s really don't mean shit today, regardless of how vivid your memory is.

  Russel Wilson has a better playoff record than Eli Manning.
