NFL Playoffs Preview & Wild Card Picks

[Smed55]

What's it going to take to fire Marv Lewis? This has to be the last straw. He's never had control of his players and it cost them a playoff win.

I'd rather keep a guy that gets us to the playoffs, than keeping a guy that can't even get us to .500!

I agree Fisher needs to go, but Lewis hasn't even won a playoff game with the talent he has.

I know what you are saying, but I don't blame this loss on Lewis, you can't be on the field when your players are in the middle of being idiots? We have had the same stupid personal fouls that have killed us over the past few years.
Dalton hasn't really played that well in the playoffs either, on top of going up against the best teams in the league come playoff time!

The Bills lost 4 straight SB's , it happens, bad play, bad luck?

As I said, Lewis is doing something right, bad luck the other night!

After 12 years and no playoff wins? Come on, he needs to go. If he had control of the locker room, maybe his players wouldn't be committing that stupid of a penalty late in the game. Their actions are a reflection of the coach.

You're really going to compare losing 4 straight super bowls to losing every playoff game? LOL. Lewis is about 10% better than Fisher. He gets it done just well enough to make the playoffs, only to fail every time.

If Lewis is fired, it's probably going to be similar to Lovie getting ousted; they want to keep that assistant coach that has become a desirable head coaching candidate. Hue Jackson is drawing serious interest.

As far as the two knuckleheads dragging him down; he could remedy that with a quick transaction to cut 'em loose. Good riddance to bad rubbish.

 

[Smed55]

Well I guess if you're losing 4 straight SB's you're not Getting it done, and you should be fired, pretty much both coaches didn't get it done?
And 10% better than Fisher, really a guy who has taken his team to 7 playoffs in 12 years is only 10% Better than a guy that has only had 6 winning seasons in 20 plus flipping years?

Losing 4 SBs in a row makes you the #2 coach over that time frame, behind only Jimmy Johnson. Only the Cowboys made it back in those 4 years.

What are the playoffs? Please explain.

 

[Retroram52]

A classic GNG!

 

[UVA_Guy81]

A classic GNG!

This one reflects Cincinnati in the playoffs from a fans perspective I'd like to think.

 

[Retroram52]

Another classic UVA!

 

[RamsFan88]

Who do you y'all think is winning this week?

I think every home team wins this week.

 

[UVA_Guy81]

KC, Den, AZ, Car

 

[RamsFan88]

I really hope you're right about NE losing.

 

[UVA_Guy81]

Don't know why but just a gut feeling I have on that. New England definitely isn't as good this year as they have been in the past and have been very injury prone to boot. Going to be interesting to see if that sprain Brady suffered against Miami is going to have any affect on him or not.

Their success will also depend on how healthy Edelman and Gronk are. Even then, I don't know if the Pats o-line can handle the Chiefs' front 7.

 

[RamsFan88]

More picks from my buddy.

 

[Rambunctious]

This weekends winners I predict will be;
Patriots
Broncos
Cardinals
Panthers

 

[UVA_Guy81]

Well, unfortunately 0-1 so far. The Chiefs, in my opinion, took way too much time and looked laxidasical on that last offensive drive. I also wouldn't have done the onside kick and would've just booted it deep in the end zone, hope that the defense can hold and try to get the ball back with much better field position. This GB-AZ game is a lot closer than I thought it'd be as well, at least at the moment. Green Bay must've found some mojo last week in DC.
