What are the odds of having a bird bowl? Ravens vs. Cardinals. I'd like that. All we need to do is make the steelers irrelevant next week. Right? Unless San Dog can make a heck of a come back today. But they seem so discumbooberated, if the radio guys are any indication of what is really going on.

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #51 on:** January 11, 2009, 04:03:56 pm »

Okay, the Eagles won.

Washougal_Otaku - 0 points
Sporty_Otaku - 5 points
Jaybug - 0 points

The Chargers/Steelers game is about half way through the third with Pittsburgh up 21-10. Either way, we all picked Pittsburgh, so the scores will be the same for all of us.

So the NFC title game will be the Philadelphia Eagles @ the Arizona Cardinals.
The AFC title game will be the Baltimore Ravens @ either the San Diego Chargers or the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Personally, I'm not going to make an official pick on the AFC game, but the NFC game I'm gonna pick Arizona.

youre gonna go with arizona?

okay then its your loss

i will take philly and whoever wins the sd/pit game

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #53 on:** January 11, 2009, 05:06:31 pm »

Well, now it's official. We'll have a divisional rivalry match-up for the AFC title (BAL@PIT) and a former divisional rivalry match-up (also a Thanksgiving rematch) for the NFC title (PHI@AZ).

I'm still picking the Cards over the Eagles. I take it that you think Pittsburgh will win, right, S_O? Same here, unfortunately.

How about you, jaybug?

jaybug · « **Reply #54 on:** January 11, 2009, 06:46:27 pm »

I don't want a Pennsylvania Bowl! Pitt and Phil. Sounds like some demolition company. Yeah, I think the Iggles and the Steelers are gonna win. I want the Ravens and the Cardinals to win though. I think at least 3 of these teams are about the oldest in the history of the NFL, the Cards being the oldest team.

Now, if only I could watch the games! Stupid local greedy CBS affiliate, and Darn Dish network! That and work, but why cuss that, it does not change anything, trust me, I've tried!

Sporty_Otaku · « **Reply #55 on:** January 11, 2009, 08:00:46 pm »

all four bowl possibilities and how it reflects on us

okay, you win. Can I sit back and enjoy the games now? lol

Freaking Giants! I Cant Stand How Bad They Played! This Sucks! sorry for venting but I just had to get that off my chest

Well, not really. If the Super Bowl features the Steelers and the Cardinals, then we could still have a chance.

As for you, Higuma, hahahahaha. Sorry, I hate the Giants, and I'm kinda glad that I was wrong about them beating Philly. The only nice thing about their SB win last year was that Jeremy Shockey, one of the best TE's of our time, now has a ring.

jaybug · « **Reply #59 on:** January 16, 2009, 12:37:37 pm »

You mean the guy they traded to New Orleans because he was even more of a problem than Plexico Burress? And they got the kid from Western Oregon University, Boss? That Shockey? lol

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #60 on:** January 17, 2009, 12:42:43 am »

Yes, that Shockey. (It's funny that he went to NO because that's where he went in my Madden franchise).

Sporty_Otaku · « **Reply #61 on:** January 17, 2009, 08:56:18 pm »

conference games are tomorrow!

i hope you guys are ready

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #62 on:** January 17, 2009, 09:05:55 pm »

I will only be able to see the NFC title game (which starts @ 12!) but I have to work during dinner, so no see AFC bout.

jaybug · « **Reply #63 on:** January 18, 2009, 03:34:57 pm »

Root for the Bird Bowl! Go Ravens!

Farm out for the Cardinals! That messes up everything don't it? lol

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #64 on:** January 18, 2009, 09:36:27 pm »

Well, Arizona and Pittsburgh will meet in Super Bowl 43! So, Jaybug, you're at 5, Sporty, you're at 10, and I'm at 8. Since Jaybug is trailing, how about if you pick your winner, first, for a chance to tie Sporty?

jaybug · « **Reply #65 on:** January 18, 2009, 10:25:21 pm »

Steelers for the win.

Sporty_Otaku · « **Reply #66 on:** January 18, 2009, 10:33:14 pm »

that is perfect

i have a feeling it will be arizona with the surprise win perhaps even during the last couple minutes of the game

i got home not too long ago after partying with some friends. most of them were hoping for a baltimore/philadelphia super bowl

for both

actually its just one

and a

for me since i was rooting for pittsburgh

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #67 on:** January 18, 2009, 10:54:31 pm »

Well, I'm glad that things have panned out like this. I'm going with Pittsburgh, too; I don't think it's gonna even be close. This will probably be the biggest one-sided Super Bowl since the Ravens victory over the Giants.

So...

PIT W = Jaybug ties Sporty @ 10, I win @ 13
AZ = Sporty wins @ 15

jaybug · « **Reply #68 on:** January 19, 2009, 03:24:49 pm »

I wonder how much Pittsburgh will really be able to score. McNabb is a much more dangerous quarterback than Rothlesberger(sic?). Arizona seemed to eat Donavan alive for most of the game, except for the 3rd quarter. And Westbrook a more dangerous RB, than Parker. I mean Parker can run the ball, but does he catch the ball?

The Super Bowl may come down to the play of Warner and Big Ben. Who takes advantage of the defense, and who is taken advantage of by the defense. I'd take Arizona's wide-outs over Pittsburghs.

But the Steelers have a Duck playing for them now, so I guess I should root for them but...

What does it really matter to me, I'll be here at work. Hopefully I can watch it on the computer.

Now the other question is,...are the commercials gonna suck, as they spent the puny ad budget just buying air time?

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #69 on:** January 19, 2009, 03:33:14 pm »

The commercials are most likely gonna be worse this year; more stupid beer commercials and possibly some other ones that shouldn't be made.

I don't think McNabb is a great QB anymore, not since the SB loss to New England; Benny is a better QB overall than him, I think.

I think the Pittsburgh defense is gonna eat Warner alive; that's what I'm thinking. Don't get me wrong, their offense will still make some great plays. I just don't think it'll be many, especially since Arizona's defense, to me, doesn't have what it takes to stop a serious threat in the form of Pittsburgh offense. (It's weird praising their offense, ya know?).

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #70 on:** February 01, 2009, 10:44:55 pm »

FIANL SCORE

PITTSBURGH 27
ARIZONA 23

That means I win with 13 points
Jaybug and Sporty_Otaku have 10 each

I think Jaybug should win "the tiebreaker" since he not only picked the correct Super Bowl winners, but he predicted that it would be a close game, (whereas I thought it wouldn't be).

Sorry, Terry; you lose.

Sporty_Otaku · « **Reply #71 on:** February 02, 2009, 08:24:29 am »

aw man

well it was fun and being the loser i am glad that we didnt bet anything on this playoff contest of yours

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #72 on:** February 02, 2009, 09:33:02 am »

Funny you should say that...

I've been thinking about doing something like that for the next season. It wouldn't be betting, though; it would just be a fun contest, and I'm thinking about having a prize available for the winner.

The idea that I've had would be like this...

Everyone would PM me who they think would win during a week in the season. For example,...
Ravens over Colts, Lions over Vikings, Texans over Browns, etc.
I'd keep track of these, and count how many each individual got right. The person who gets the most, wins 3 points for the week, 2nd place gets 2 and 3rd place gets 1.

At the end of the season, the top three or so people would "go on" to the playoffs, where we would use the same (or a similar) system that we used here this month. The regular season totals go away; they mean nothing at this point.

Whadya think?

jaybug · « **Reply #73 on:** February 02, 2009, 04:43:14 pm »

Remind me when we get there. lol oh noz! More picks! aye yi yi yi yi!

Speaking of picks, I think I will have my co-worker put $5 on the Cardinals to win next year's Super Bowl when he goes down to Vegas for the NASCAR race later this month. The way they played, made me think they--could--go--all--the--way. ( Don't you just love Chris Berman cliches?) ugh, sigh.

WHy not?

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #74 on:** February 04, 2009, 08:24:20 am »

Isn't Warner retiring this year?

jaybug · « **Reply #75 on:** February 04, 2009, 04:12:04 pm »

You mean like Favre?

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #76 on:** February 04, 2009, 10:24:35 pm »

Yeah, like Favre...
