Tom Heaney Posted January 15, 2011 Author Share Posted January 15, 2011 Welker and Mangolds back and forth, genius, gotta love both those guys. An admirable attempt at a response but not in the same league as Welkers "toe" press conference, Mangold should stick to playing center as he is no doubt one of the best around, despite a very poor hair style I agree with you, I love the way this is getting ratched up, hopefully the game lives up to its billing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.T.F.Robertson Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 I'm not confident about today. These two always play it tight and I just have a feeling it's Baltimore's turn this time. I hope my pessimism is proven unfounded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope my pessimism is proven unfounded. It certainly helped that the Baltimore offence was posted missing in the 3rd 1/4 and it looks like the Falcons have a massive struggle against Green Bay, especially if Ryan is going to throw bonehead passes like the last pick. And the falcons defence seems to have taken the day off today as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Heaney Posted January 16, 2011 Author Share Posted January 16, 2011 Well of course it has been difficult to view them live in New Jersey !! -- but I have done so twice on my previous trips so at least I can say I have seen my adopted team live -- also saw a win -- honestly -- least said about the other time the better. Now you gotta have faith and since Ryan arrived we have come on leaps and bounds from previous seasons -- such limited success along with easier access to TV coverage has meant I have been able to view them on a more regular basis -- I did not make the easy choice all those years ago and pick the Giants or the Dolphins (never mind the Colts or the Pats) -- like my football team I cannot be accused of being a glory hunter. Having lived 9 years Stateside it didnt take me too long to adopt The Pats as "my team" It was probably more to do with the fact that I supported The Red Sox through a couple of friends one of which was a massive Pats fan. No glory hunter status here, I was first introduced to them 1999/2000, certainly didnt have to wait too long to enjoy seeing them winning the ultimate prize, 3 times in fact . But today is another day of course and no doubt its gonna be a tough one and hopefully a good one. I certainly dont buy into some of the predictions both on here and in the media that the Pats are a shoe-in (no, that isnt a reference to Fat Rex's foot fetish) but of course I wont complain too much if it turns out that way. Either way, I'll be back tomorrow to either take your snash or give you some of mines Enjoy the game.........But not too much GO PATS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Heaney Posted January 16, 2011 Author Share Posted January 16, 2011 Oh Dear, This isn't good, last week I was 1-3, this week I stand at 2-0 which doesnt bode well for my predictions today. Dont feel good that I may have use my 2 correct picks already Good call from Big Ben on that 60 yard pass to Brown with 2 mins left. Was obviously a risk but reality is, if it was picked off the field position was still pretty poor for the Ravens so it was a risk worth taking and it obviously worked out. Didnt think it was going to be The Steelers night especially in the first half when The Ravens defense knocked Roethlisberger about pretty good. Great performance from The Packers and Rodgers, havent always been convinced about The Falcons this season so it wasnt so big a shock that The PAckers went through but Rodgers performance deserves a load of praise, his completed pass percentage must have been pretty high and he was pretty mobile ducking and diving his way out of tackles, fair play to the guy. Another 2 good games coming up today, just hope that I have at least 1 correct pick left in me and if I do lets hope its game 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the falcons defence seems to have taken the day off today as well I'd pretty much thrown in the towel at HT, but the Rice fumble completely changed the game. When Pittsburgh cashed in on that, the cameras panned to the Ravens' sideline and I swear you could see a complete change in their demeanor. The Steeler D took the game over from there. I did breath a rather large sigh of relief following this call though. P.S. The Packers looked scary last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kiltedjedi Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 Exactly right, Tom, although Brown did a decent impersonation of how not to catch it. He did have full control of the ball, against his helmet And that call was well dodgy on the Ravens return touchdown. If the Ravens had won then they'd have had their signature playoff moment with The Fumble in the first quarter. Packers were awesome, since they qualified they have looked like a bad 6th seed to get drawn against in the playoffs. They could go all the way doing it on the road every game. 0-2 on my picks though, never pick teams with birds seems to be the motto, so seachickens should burn tomorrow and keeping the flying motif, the jets should crash.

It's clearly a hold, although I'm sure there are many like it, missed on a regular basis. (and the Steeler guy did slightly embelish it) If they do, and if I'm right, they would be the second team to do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
