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

I think we should talk more about how brothers are going to be coaching against eachother in the Superbowl.

Yes, because we'd all much rather hear yet another Super Bowl's run-up of two weeks of Belichick's "genius" and Brady's "magic".

Yeah, fuck you guys.  The media will always find a way to beat any Superbowl story into the ground.  At least this time, the stories have nothing to do with Brady or Belichick.  Instead, you get the brothers, Kaepernick's coming out party, Flacco's stepping up and Ray Lewis' last ride.

And probably Billy Cundiff kicking in the Superbowl against his old team.  If he shanks one in the Superbowl, I'm going to laugh.

I've been looking forward to the possibility of a Har-bowl, so hopefully I won't tire of the hype.  Helps to have teams you like or at least don't hate in it.  Plus if the Ravens win I can dismissively say "yeah, we beat 'em in week 17"

That crippling loss to the Bengals that gave them the drive to succeed and hopefully ended Tyrod Taylor's career?  It certainly gave the Bengals a bright spot, having beaten both the dominant teams in the AFC North.

Speaking of the AFC North, I really hadn't realized what a shitshow the Steelers' 2012 draft class turned into, what with the injuries and DUIs and womanbeating and sucking.

Hmm, people seem to think it matters which dumb storyline they run into the ground for two weeks.  The point is that it will be dumb and it doesn't matter who gets into the superbowl but there will be an overly repetitive dumb storyline.

[PDH]

I just zone out the Superbowl stories in the two weeks before the game.  Just like I don't turn on the TV until a couple of hours before the game.  It is a shitshow always, at least this year it is a new flavor of shit being flung around rather than people talking about the same old garbage.

Did they resign him? Cause they cut him last week. I mean yeah sure they don't have great confidence in Akers, but haven't heard about trying to bring in a kicker again before the Super Bowl.

I was being facetious.  It was nice to pick up a tenth win this season, but everyone knows it was a meaningless game with key personnel on both sides sitting out for a good portion of it.

I actually wasnt being sarcastic that time.

I hadn't heard, but they have to do something about Akers.  Kaepernick has made them less dependent on field goals, but it's still pretty odd for such a good team to have such a demonstrably bad kicker.

[katmai]

Heh considering he set records last year it is amazing to see how much he's regressed.

Anna's balled up little Belifists of rage makes me hard.

[crazy canuck]

Not sure why Mrs. Welker is proud of a guy that dropped a pass that hit him between the numbers.

I posted that, just for you.
