bearpants

good news... great receiver and a good guy to have in the locker room...

thanks @Taynted_Fayth for reassuring me that there is at least one person out there with more free time on their hands than me!

So very happy that the patriots lost... so much more fun watch the playoffs without them (except it keeps me engaged when I really have a team to cheer against!) I forgot to make picks for the conference round... for what it's worth, if I was going with my heart I would have said Denver/Arizona... if I was going with my brain I would have gone with New England/Carolina... so 1-1 either way...

Wow... this might be the dumbest driver I have ever seen... the whole time I was thinking "just back up a bit and pull out where it's clean"... took him 7 minutes of spinning his tires to figure it out... must be somewhere that doesn't get snow often...

I chose other... it's gotta be Ted Laurent... he's a game changer at DT and a ratio breaker... If we're only going by that list then definitely Carter...

Glenn Frey on Lead guitar... Lemmy on bass... Dale Griffin from Mott the Hoople (Jan 17, 2016) on drums and of course David Bowie as the front man... January 2016 has provided quite the after-life super group...

I actually don't disagree with KC's time management at the end of the game... by time it got to around 5 minutes left they likely realized there would not be enough time for 3 possessions (including the one they were currently on)... so rather than rushing to score and give the ball back they conceded that they would kick on-side after a score... that way it gives them time to effectively run the offense and ensure a score... they obviously didn't complete the on-side, so that nullified any plan...

The problem is consistency... with all of our receivers... Moore was great when healthy... but that wasn't often enough.... he also struggled to gain any YAC... Denmark looked liked a top receiver every now and then... then disappeared for multi-game stretches... Adams also looked great in about 5 or 6 games last year... where was he the other 12 games?

we would all be much less sour on the Taman regime if 2007 had finished the way it should have...

Yeah it was Jackson, Williams, Ellingson, and Sinopoli... get your Ottawa free agent signings right! ?

More important than free agency... we desperately need to see that this management team can bring in real talent from outside the cfl... otherwise this may be their last year... and I won't be disappointed

Quite believable actually... this is rider fans we're talking about!

yeah I remember that... our first year was 2004 and I think the tickets were around $50 for the season... perfect for a student budget!

I'm not sure if a new thread is being started for the divisional round so I'll just throw my picks here: KC vs NE - I'll take KC b/c I like their defense... but mostly because I hate the pats and want them to lose no matter who they're playing (if I had real money on the line there's a chance my pick would be different)... Arizona vs GB - I like Arizona in this one... don't know if the pack will be able to replicate any offensive success like they did against wash... although I expect a closer game than their week 15 match-up... Carolina vs Seattle - this one should be the game of the week... probably the toughest to pick... I'll go with Carolina b/c I like Cam and it would be nice to see a new NFC winner this year... Pitt vs Denver - Denver has the best defense in the league... they'll be looking for revenge after Brown shredded them a few weeks ago... as long as that revenge is not focused on Cody Wallace I like their chances... Denver

I am a St Louis fan... but since I'm not from St Louis I guess you could more accurately call me a Rams fan... so where they happen to play home games doesn't really bother me...

My season tickets are in 203, row 5... just shout out bearpants next time you're there and I'll say hi... I prefer this view much better than endzone... I sat in the endzone at Canad Inns for 9 years... being close to the action was nice (especially getting a close up view of events like Milt's record setting TD)... but the view and perspective from the upperdeck is far better than endzone... We only sat in the endzone in the old stadium b/c it was the cheapest...

Good for him, if true... but it seems more like Arash was just thinking out loud...

Does NCAA count?? I'm fairly sure that's not a Herb Brooks original...

You'd have to think the weather was a factor... the ball must feel a lot different in those conditions...

Though I don't necessarily agree with this... the counter argument to that would be that it doesn't really matter any more what position your NIs are playing... the way players are developing and playing now, you don't need to have 6 of your 7 NIs on the lines... you find 7 good NIs and play theme wherever they fit best...

I understand that the rule states that coaches (other than HC) cannot be on the field... but there were mitigating circumstances... how often do you see the entire team and all coaches on the field when a player suffers a serious injury... that being said, I do agree the refs should have removed Porter from that scenario... but ultimately it's on Pacman for using his mouth before his brain, like usual...

A little early to be writing off Waggoner, eh?!?... Some people already forget Henoc Muamba was a STer in year 1, contributing very little on D...

I actually like Bridgemwater as a QB... but I'm just not sure if he's the guy to take you to the next level... he's the kind of guy that will be good enough to get you to the playoffs... but not much more...

Haha yeah that was actually the worst kind of typo... I meant to write "without" Williams... the run game seemed to do ok anyway... an epic implosion from Cincy sure helped them out...

Thanks for the info... sounds like just watching them in order 4, 5, 6, 1, 2, 3 is the best way to go about it...
