2009 Playoff Games Thread

Anyone watching the Viking Eagles game? So far it's been a good one to watch. Eagles lead 16-14 right before the half.

18 seconds for the Eagles to try to get into FG range.

16-14 half. Lack of TO's cost the Eagles any shot for padding the lead before half.

I'm watching it right now, if the Eagles lose I am almost sure Reid and McNabb will be gone this offseason.

Well the Eagles win 26-14. Seems the hot teams (Eagles and Chargers) heading into the game got it done.

as opposed to a 9 win streak like the Colts had?

Chargers won because of the coin flip in OT - plain and simple. If the Colts get the ball, they win. NFL overtimes are a joke.

Seriously??? The Colts' defense had every opportunity to stop them and get the ball into Manning's hand. Its' the defense fault in overtime. They had 3 costly penalties that kept the drive alive.

They are, the are the worst. Even if one team is to make a mistake, it could be costly. A coin flip is even a costly mistake, it's all based on chance of you picking heads or tails correctly, and that's not what a game should be left up to. Both teams should have it offensively to counteract. Even if it is not going to be like college, they should at least play out the OT quarter until the end of time, like basketball OT.

not to be Mr. Obvious, but this has got to be one of the worst weekends for the home team in playoff history and with the Chargers scoring on their opening drive, it could end up a sweep for the visitors.

It looks like the Eagles are the final hope of extending the streak of a Vol in the Super Bowl. And, I've enjoyed the run by the Cardinals so far.
