I feel with all the opportunities to do that we maybe did it once to start a game or the 2nd half. Maybe once from Ponder to Wright? All I know was I was hoping for it and it was predictable run after predictable run. Or sure seemed like it.

They didn't even have to go for the home run. Just anything other than the boring ass predictable shit they settled on.

Exactly.

I expect next week they will "fool" everybody with a 1st down pass on their 1st drive. I mean, after running up the gut on ADs first play back, who wouldn't be fooled? And then, completion or not on first down, they will run the ball next play,

Then they will get stopped short forcing a 3rd and 8 where they will throw a two yard checkdown to Rudy who will get one more yard and then we punt.

I was hoping to not be negative, so I just stayed away, but I absolutely cringed at the idea of Adrian coming back for Green Bay game I was worried about a couple of 3 and outs then a crucial fumble if we got things going. I was so hoping, that if we even played him, we would know to ease him back into a game where we we already had a lead. Versus stagnating what he offense was starting to get going (ever so slightly) versus Jax and even in spurts against Dallas. Regardless when I heard he was going to be ready against Indy I was pissed I couldn't change my Viking pick(fing Thursday night football) in the picks pool. I was just so fine with him never coming back. Everything gets f'd up when your shot gun quarterback behind a duct taped offensive line has to go under center because Herschel II can only run from the I. That more than anything killed any chance to stay in that game. Defense played a whole game in the first half, heaven for bid we script a drive to start the game without the guy the has been gone the whole season. This season has been tough enough adjustment wise without once again basically changing the whole offense for one guy at the expense of 10 other guys.

Packers by 30. Merry Fn Christmas!

I was so looking forward to him playing going into the 2014 season. When he couldn't seem to get what he did wrong, I couldn't seem to forgive him. Even though I work in the mental health field and have a large capacity for forgiveness. I even could see how his low intellect combined with how he was raised was almost an explanation to what he did to his kid.

Then last year I dug that Zimmer and Spielman told him where the bear craps in the woods. At the end of last season, I was done with him though. When the fumbling came back in crucial situations I could not take anymore. I still blame him most for the Seattle loss in the playoffs. Without his fumble we win that game 9-7 and Blair Walsh is a hero.

My biggest grief with Adrian though has always been his personal goals above team goals mentality. Even when someone trained him to say the right things his myopic view just leaks through. I did not want him on our team this year. I sure didn't want him to come back this season with a slim chance at the playoffs on the line. Adrian cannot be on a team with a slim margin for error.

I would be interested if anyone good picks him up. I think the only you could win a championship with him is if he we a part time player for a championship team like the Patriots.

Boy a second round pick for him would look pretty good now. Hopefully we just cut him, when he won't take a pay cut.

for the record.

NFC North

NFC West

Seattle 2

NFC East

NY Giants 4

NFC South

Tampa Bay 3

Wild Cards: Green Bay 5 and Detroit 6

I think Carson Palmer goes down sometime this year. Paper champions. I was not impressed with them at the end of year. Carolina had a magical year, I see the Cam SB meltdown continuing this season. TB led by the Rapist will win that division. NY G take the weak assed East. Detroit played really well second half of last year. Packers have Jordy back, while great I question their defense and oline.

I got 4 of 6 right. Swung and missed on Vikings and Tampa. Under estimated Dallas and Atlanta.

I Like Derek Carr. I am not buying Jags and Bortles.

Cincinnati and Pittsburgh all day.

5 of 6 Didn't see Cincinnati fall or Miami rise.

My seeds suck for both NFC and AFC outside of New England. My best picks were the falls of Denver and Arizona.

I had New England over Houston AFC Championship game then losing to the Vikings in the Super Bowl. I had Seattle losing to Vikings in NFC championship game.

New England for sure in Super Bowl as far as NFC it might be the winner of Giants and Green Bay this weekend.

Playoff Predictions

AFC

1. Patriots
2. Chiefs
3. Steelers
4. Texans
5. Raiders
6. Dolphins

Steelers over Dolphins (Steelers will be up for this one, although Miami will run on them.)
Raiders over Texans (I like Raider defense better Ostchoker is no better Cook, Cook just has to stay safe)

Patriots over Raiders (Yawn, not close, even if there is snow, this game will not compare to tuck rule game)
Chiefs over Steelers (Andy Reid has this team gelling, Tomlin's crew can be inconsistent)

Patriots over Cheifs (In a close one, but Chefs will have to get out of kitchen)

NFC

1. Cowboys
2. Falcons
3. Seahawks
4. Packers
5. Giants
6. Lions

Lions over Seahawks (Seattle hasn't won a championship since Golden Tate

) Sweet homecoming for him. Stafford will roll on their D! DangeRuss will not be able to come back behind his line.
Giants over Packers (Eli's coming, calm and almost disinterested is good in playoffs.) (Aaron will be glaring at everybody by end of 3rd)

Giants over Falcons (Great offense, awesome coach no reason for Falcons to lose except for Matt Ryan will throw 2 killer interceptions)
Cowboy over Lions ( one playoff win every 25 years is plenty, Dallas in another laugher)

Giants over Cowboys (3 times Baby!)(Jerry Jones throws tantrum on sideline has to be restrained by Dez!)

SUPER BOWL

Patriots over Giants (NO Tom Coughlin magic this time, Brady and Bellicheat get over hump against their kryptonite)

I will watch almost none of it!

Playoff Predictions

AFC

1. Patriots
2. Chiefs
3. Steelers
4. Texans
5. Raiders
6. Dolphins

Steelers over Dolphins (Going to be close. Pitt NT is out. Ajayi will run as will LeVeon)
Raiders over Texans (Raiders have to run the ball to have any chance as Texans have good Pass Def and Del Rio knows Osweiller from Denver days)

Patriots over Raiders (Yepper)
Chiefs over Steelers (Pitt lost its NT)

Upset special Chiefs over Patriots (Defense & ST of Chiefs are awesome)

NFC

1. Cowboys
2. Falcons
3. Seahawks
4. Packers
5. Giants
6. Lions

Seahawks over Lions (Real close game 2nd WR Tate/Richardson dominate)
Giants over Packers (GB has no corners---3 injured last week, ODB/Sterling/Cruz & Perkins go wild---Rodgers alone can not save them as Giants have good corners----TE Cook is the main chance)

Falcons over Seahawks (High Scoring affair)
Giants over Cowboys (Cowboys Kryptonite this year)

Falcons over Giants (Another Barn Burner)

SUPER BOWL

Chiefs over Falcons (Reid's first Super Bowl victory)---Kelce & Tyreke Hill Co-MVPs

IMO, Kansas City has the most talent in the league. Without Gronk, they have the top tight end in Kelce. They have the most electric player in the league in Hill. They have arguably the top safety (Berry) in the league and one of the best corners (Peters). Their linebackers are off the charts and Poe is one of the best DT's. The offensive line is very good. Like him or not, Smith doesn't make big mistakes.

They are my favorite to knock off the Pats.

Unless the injury report changes my mind, gonna go with:

Steelers over Dolphins, by 17
Raiders over Texans - Raiders have been getting it done on the road. I wonder if Carr is like Carson Palmer in that when it comes to the playoffs, he'll either be injured or giving substandard play.

Lions over the Seahawks, Tate is Golden
Packers rout the Giants - Giants have a good playoff history with Manning, and at Lambeau, but that is history. This one goes the other way, and the refs help the Pack get rolling early.

Cowboys over the Lions
Falcons over the Packers
Patriots over the Raiders
Chiefs over the Steelers

Cowboys over the Falcons
Patriots over Chiefs

Cowboys over Patriots

Not gonna lie, I have no idea who will win the Super Bowl. The obvious thing to say is New England, Outside of that, all of them have warts. I would say the least likely are the teams with backup quarterbacks starting (Miami, Texans & Raiders), although the Dolphins may be better off with Moore than Tannehill.

That's it, my stunner of the weekend is the Dolphins over the Steelers.

NFC Championship game predicton

Cowboys vs Packers in Dallas.

It's what the NFL wants.

In the AFC,

Patriots Chiefs.

And then the NFL and Fox (i believe the get the big game this year) get their desired matchup and Joe Buck will have a hard on all game. Brady vs Rodgers for all the marbles.
