wvu80 Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 The dog in my fight is out, the Steelers. How is it Jax only scored one TD and 13 points last week, and today put 45 on the Steelers? Big Ben put up nearly 500 yards passing and 5 touchdowns and still lost! Still, it's nice to see some new teams in the final four. I'll go with the obvious and predict Patriots vs Vikings in the SB. I'll take the Vikings to win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJkizak Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 That cornerback on New Orleans that missed the tackle will probably be better off if he moves to Siberia. JJK 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that happened on about the 30 yard line. So 45ish yard field goal if he had made the tackle. Probably makes that anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably makes that anyway. If he let the receiver catch it and tackled him in bounds the game was over, no time left on clock. If he at least kept him from catching it and was called for interference, they would get a shot a kicking a FG. Either way, a big mistake from the defense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JJK In his defense, if there is any, he was more worried about pass interference than just timing it right and making a play. He took the other CB out of the play also.

In any case, he screwed up by taking his eyes off the target, On another note, has Teddy Bridgewater now been Wally Pipped? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was no time out left you are mistaken. That is what made the outcome so miraculous. There would have been no time to set up another play or field goal attempt because there was no way to stop the clock, unless there was a catch and a quick out of bounds.

oldtimer Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Ten seconds at the snap, but no time outs. The only way to set up a field goal was to gain enough yards on the pass and get out of bounds. The saints were set up to make sure he was at the least tackled in bounds, so the clock would run out. The ball was caught with 5 seconds left, and all that was needed was the tackle---which was missed. https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/nfl/new-orleans-saints-at-minnesota-vikings/game-center/sp-id-10401000001744979?ocid=spartanntp https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/nfl/‘that-play-right-there-was-god’-diggs-dings-and-dumbfounded-vikings-on-how-they-stunned-saints/ar-AAuIexf?ocid=spartanntp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richieb Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 I think the Vikes are capable of beating the Eagles with Foles at QB. He is certainly capable but runs hot and cold as he showed while at KC in a few games and still in Philly. And the first time a SB team plays in its hosting city - destiny?

JL Sargent Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Boy, if Carson hadn't gotten hurt........but even so, they still might win it all. One question though, can any of these teams beat Brady, Belichick, and the Pats? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they can be beat, but it's an uphill battle. Belichick thrives in high pressure situations, they will be well prepared. For the Pats to lose, they will have to have an off game, for the whole game, and their opponent must be on their game. But maybe enough has happened around the Pats this season to create a weak point. The Colts are planning on signing their offensive coordinator, maybe a little ripple through the locker room will be enough to rattle them! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldtimer Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Brady is easy to beat---theoretically. He can't handle being pressured. Get to him before he is ready to throw, and he folds like a cheap card table. The hard part is you have to beat that offensive line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
