The 2013 NFL Playoffs? PLAYOFFS? PLAYOFFS??? Morathread

[Neil]

Yeah, I think that's a TD, albeit an awkward one.

[MadBurgerMaker]

That's a helluva thing if it turns out to be a TD.

E:  Wow, nice catch for your first NFL TD.

[MadBurgerMaker]

Hey Hernandez didn't get away with shoving a defender 10 yards downfield that time.  Progress!

[Neil]

Well, the least you could do is cripple Tom Brady for the good of the league, you know?

[MadBurgerMaker]

ProFootballTalk is saying Gronkowski needs surgery on the forearm again.  Done for the rest of the playoffs.

[MadBurgerMaker]

Stop taking so long between plays, Texans.  Damn, guys.

[Neil]

Playing smallball is killing the clock.

[MadBurgerMaker]

Welp there goes Posey on the cart.

[MadBurgerMaker]

Nice job and all, but that drive took 4:47 off the clock.

E: Pretty close on the onside, but no dice.

[Neil]

I think #35 ran right through the ball there on that onside kick.  Yikes.

[MadBurgerMaker]

Looked like it actually hit a couple Houston players and neither one could snag it.

Fucking Ravens are gonna disappoint me again.

[CountDeMoney]

Rather disappointing ending for the Texans, but they haven't been right for some reason late this season.  Injuries were a part of it, but they still had most of their horses.

Wonder how things would've turned out if they didn't lose home field advantage after Thanksgiving.

Phil Simms actually said something worthwhile, about "changing philosophies".  Maybe not on defense, but perhaps reimagine the offense?

[CountDeMoney]

@richeisen: Ravens-Patriots would be 1st AFC Championship game rematch since the Browns & Broncos went "The Drive"/"The Fumble" in '86/'87.

Had to go there, didn't you?

[MadBurgerMaker]

You guys sure you don't want to huddle up?  You could burn a good solid 30 seconds if you did.
