With the 1st round of the playoffs completed last week, BFTB readers chose the following GIFs to advance to this week's quarterfinal round:

  • #7 Seed (Brandon Flowers and Jovan Belcher)
  • #9 Seed (Eric Berry)
  • #11 Seed (Ben Roethlisberger)
  • #12 Seed (Peyton Manning)

These four "winners" have advanced to face-off against the the top four seeds who received byes last week. Today we begin with the playoff debut of the #4 Seed . . .


#4 Seed (Bront Bird)

In the span of seconds, Chargers linebacker Bront Bird, goes from athletic superhero to uncoordinated chump. It's a fine line to walk and while doing so Bront Bird managed to turn his ankle. This play is characterized as A True TDNLA Moment. The best athletes in the world were not there to force Bird into falling down . . . he did it all on his own.

A thing of beauty it is to witness ATTDNLAM.


#7 Seed (Brandon Flowers and Jovan Belcher)

As the 7th Seed, Flowers and Belcher narrowly advanced last week when they defeated #10 Seed Dunta Robinson by the smallest of margins: 7 votes. The KC duo's performance did not inspire awe among BFTB readers as the first round match-up garnered the fewest total votes of the week.

Based purely on the numbers I don't know that enough of a grass roots movement exists for the double stiff-arm to defeat Bront Bird's ATTDNLAM and move on to the semifinals. But what I think is of little consequence . . . what say you BFTB?
