Wildcard Weekend Thread

Very conservative

 

Foles had time, I don't see why he threw it short of the sticks

 

Very surprised Chip didn't go for it there.

 

Payton has something bright yellow in his mouth

 

Is it just me or does Lance Moore look like Mark Sanchez?

 

Impressive dive for Jackson results in the 1st-and-goal (it was PI, but I think it was the dive that drew the flag).

 

Collinsworth calls the play again and the Eagles take the lead with a PAT.

 

Man it's great for exciting games, but it kind of stinks that both games changed once the starting cornerbacks got injured for the Chiefs and Saints

 

haha I can see it. I wouldn't think that without having it pointed out though.

 

Here we go. It's time for my beloved fantasy star to prove he can win on the road.

 

This is such a balancing act for coaches. You want to score if you are NO but you want to score with 0 seconds left. If your PHI, you have to be tempted to let them score a TD if they convert their 3rd and 1.

 

Now it gets interesting. Saints 3 runs and 0 first downs could take ~1:20 off the 2 minutes remaining and kick a FG to go up 2 with ~35 left.

 

A first down for NO effectively means they can guarantee a FG with 0 seconds left.

 

Terrible start for PHI letting up 5 yards.

Also there is too much room to try and let NO to score, because if you let them get past your LBs/safeties on the ground ,they can easily fall down at the 1. IF NO was closer to the EZ, you could push/pull them into the EZ

 

So basically this comes down to Graham because I think NO is smart enough not to score here

 

Graham is good for a shank

 

Saints win

wow the Eagles screwed up the end of the game badly

 

Eagles defense really failed when it counted.

 

Saints also executed perfectly. Multiple 3rd and inches and got them with one of the most if not most effective way to convert them, QB sneaks

 

Popeyes leads the Saints to victory! Onto Seattle, order Popeyes again
