Patriots Playoff Watch

[Redz]

40 to 60 MPH winds at the stadium in Buffalo.

Seymour's out.

Any worries for the Pats getting stage 1 of today's checklist out of the way?

[Nerf DPOY]

Yeah, these conditions are bizarre to say the least. I've never seen wind have this big of an effect on a game before. The Pats just missed a near chip shot, but that Buffalo wide right that started wide left FGA was just ridiculous. It was like something out of a Monty Python skit.

Stage one: CHECK

[Nerf DPOY]

Brett Favre was just so "Brett Favre " on that last pass. He has about as much discipline as I did when I used to play two-hand touch football in the road with one of those Hutch footballs. I loved those things. There's something satisfying about weighing 90 lbs and being able to throw a football about 100 yds.

When Uncle Rico made the claim about being able to throw a football a quarter of a mile in'82, maybe that's what he was talking about.

He made both claims. A quarter of a mile is roughly 4 football fields length wise, while the mountains appeared to be substantially longer. No one, with the exception of maybe Chuck Norris could possibly back up a claim as outrageous as either of the one's made by Uncle Rico.

But with a Hutch?

Back to the topic, Jacksonville is up 7-3 over Baltimore in the second quarter, though I can't say that I have much faith in that game working out for NE.

Edit: And the Ravens just took the lead 10-7. Shocker.

Stage two isn't looking so great.

[Chris]

I hate Brett Favre.

[guava_wrench]

As a fins fan, I have completely put 1-15 behind me.

Yeah but Favre might be hurt. There's still hope.

Edit: I agree with what Chris said.

Who is their backup?

Is anyone else convinced that if they had kept Pennington, this was a 12-13 win Jets team, fighting for home-field for the entire playoffs?

[Redz]

This is absolutely killing me having to pull for the Jets...The Dolphins are just so much more of a likable team.

Kellen Clemens I believe , and yes I think with Pennington this team wins the division. Also, there's a real chance that the Jets lose this game because of a botched extra-point attempt. Well that, and because Favre's decision making is comparable to Vince Carter's shot selection at the NBA All-Star game. Actually, to be fair, Favre's last pick had less to do with recklessness and more to do with just regular old suckiness.

Emphasis on the word old.

oh well.
