Awesome performance last night. Fair play to Rodgers making a game of it off not much. Kaepernick was brilliant though. An outstanding individual effort although I'm still not a great fan of QBs running rather than passing. Can see why it's used because Wilson did the same to us with our man coverage last time we met the Seahawks. Can't see past the Patriots for the AFC but the NFC is up for grabs I think.

The NFC is the 49ers to lose.

It was our's to lose when we bowled over the Patriots until the following week when the Seahawks bowled us over. Nothing is certain in the NFL these days. There's nobody left with significant play off experience so anything can happen. I'd love another shot at the Seahawks though. They've been great recently bud I'd love to pay them back for a few weeks ago as I'm sure several 49ers would lol.

The play offs have taken off this weekend.

As dramatic as yesterday was and as wonderful as the Ray Lewis fairytale is becoming...what is happening in Atlanta right now tops that!

Russel Wilson has been unbelievable.

And as I type Atlanta still look like winning!

The bitterness pouring out in the Sky studio as the Russell Wilson love-in goes flaccid right now is comical.

Still doubting whether Matt Ryan can do it in a play-off game? Suck on it, Reynolds.

Oh, and to those who think not winning in a play-off game means you're not an elite player, tell that to Tony Gonzalez.

Re: The All new NFL Chat thread including playoff talk : Sun Jan 13, 2013 9:38 pm  

You have to understand why people (maybe not supposedly objective summarisers) would buy into Wilson Andy - the whole story and the way he has brought his team back the last 2 weeks is brilliant.

You don't have to win a playoff game to be elite - Gonzalez is one off, if not the, best ever.

Laud Ryan all you like but that interception in the 4th quarter almost killed you - a terrible decision and even worse throw. Fairplay he came back in the last drive but if Lynch takes two or three attempts to drive it in rather than 1 then you don't get the ball back & the Matty Choke thing starts all over again

Gutted. I put a £5 bet on Seattle at 20-0 in the 2nd quarter. Thought I had £50 coming my way for a second then!

An elite QB would have put away the game up 20. In every other game he has played in the p/o's Ryan has made key errors.

I now want a Ravens/Falcons superbowl as that will mean either Ray Lewis or Tony Gonzalez will end their career with a superbowl win.If pushed as Lewis already has one i'd go for TG getting his 1st.If the Bears can't win it I always like a win that means something thats why my favourite non Bears superbowl is when Elway finally got one with the Broncos.
