Open Championship Playoff Thread

Steelers and Ravens should be a great hard fought game. It seems like the edge goes to the Steelers at home with what I think is a better offense.

Eagles and Cardinals should be interesting; this one seems to lean more heavily towards the Eagles. I have misunderestimated the Cards before however.

Cardinals Win

Yeah!
Chargers could have taken them in the Super Bowl… Argh!

Yeah

That’s what I was thinking. Hmmm, half wrong already…

Don't care

REALLY don’t care. I actually missed the first game because I was at the movies. Football just doesn’t mean as much without the Chargers being involved.

With that being said, I’m going to root for the Cardinals. I like that their team is built 100% for speed.

By the way, Ngata is playing NT for the Ravens. I forget who said he plays DE now, but he’s played NT for every one of their defensive plays in the first quarter.

They snagged Divens from us too

We planned on going to the movies too

but for whatever reason I’m watching these games… Planned on seeing Gran Torino or Slumdog. What did you see?

Great movie, but (ironically) don’t go see it unless you like deep movies that need to be dissected afterwards to truly understand. Do go see it if you like to watch Marisa Tomei be topless for about 30 minutes of screen time.

I said he plays DE

And I was using the depth chart from NFL.com. Which they have conveniently changed since then to put him at NT. The gamebook for the game says that their starting lineup including 0 DE’s and instead their line consisted of an LDT, RDT and NT. And before you start thinking that is some weird way to represent the 3-4, the Steelers were listed as have 2 DE’s and an NT in the same game.
