TFP week one Playoff Discussion thread. - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

Esen · 01-08-2005, 06:33 AM

Ok,
Now that the play-off picks board is closed and all entries are in we can now start discussing why the Jets and SeaHawks will go all the way to the super bowl etc.

The Play-offs are upon us!

Esen · 01-08-2005, 06:34 AM

I might as well enjoy it now sincew the odds of me making week 2 are kind of slim lol

BonesCPA · 01-08-2005, 08:03 AM

Well, this much can be said of the picks, everyone that is in the playoffs thinks that the Colts and the Packers are going to win. Five of the matchups will be decided by the Rams/Seahawks game, two will have to go to at least the second tiebreaker, and the one remaining matchup could be decided tonight and if it doesn't it will go to the third tiebreaker. So in easy to read format:

If the Rams win
Then Giant Hamburger(2), steelerz(3), ironchef82(4), Fantasma(5) and BonesCPA(10) will advance.

If the Seahawks win
Then crewsor(15), cameroncrazy822(14), maximusveritas(13), dylanmarsh(12) and bond007(8) will advance.

Five players will be out after the first game of the postseason (which ones we'll know in a couple of hours). The remaining matchups don't rely on one game.

silent_jay · 01-08-2005, 10:01 AM

Jets going al lthe way Chauncey, they have to get by my Bolts this evening to make it there first. Should be a great day for football.

Esen · 01-08-2005, 11:27 AM

Yea well, I have to put faith in the fact that there is 12 teams all on an even playing field. They don't need a 14 and 2 record, they just need to take stock in what they have and get through the next month.

Over all the Jets are not a slouch of a team. They just need to know when to pull pennington.

They should just have one guy on the sidlines who whole entire jub is to watch every freaking move penninton makes, from scratching his ass to passing the ball.
The Jets are not a bad team, even though the Chargers are on the hot side right now.

archer2371 · 01-08-2005, 12:41 PM

As Jaws said earlier today, Brees has swagger. That 3-4 defense is gonna absolutely kill Curtis Martin, and Chad Pennington can't make a good throw, he's got a rotator cuff injury, not good at all for a QB.

The Seahawks....well, what can we say about the Seahawks. A selfish RB who thinks his coach has stabbed him in the back, a QB that tends to throw INTs, and a receiver core that is so doped up (minus Jerry Rice) they can't see the ball coming. St. Louis wins because they have unity and their passing game has hit an excellent stride and Stephen Jackson is coming into his own.

Ace_O_Spades · 01-08-2005, 01:52 PM

Are any other Canadians really disappointed with Global's coverage of the Seahawks / Rams game?

I need american satellite... this is total bullshit.

Also, couldn't they find some more interesting announcers? These guys are boring as hell.

Esen · 01-08-2005, 02:30 PM

I feel for you, but it could be worse you could actually be rooting for the Seahawks.

We arn t doing to good.
Actually you arnt to far from Seattle huh?
SO you aer prolly feeling double pain.

14 - 3 yiikes. we got to do something soon

Esen · 01-08-2005, 02:37 PM

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
ALexander can't be as hurt as he looks, It does not look to good for him the way he is sittiing there

i personally love the canadian tire layovers on the read ads. the blimp from primus.ca....i hate it as they cut out the american commerials we miss starts of some plays.

Esen · 01-08-2005, 03:48 PM

Hmm,
A little hope,

14-13

xandren · 01-08-2005, 04:03 PM

17-13 now
i really don't care who wins this
GO COLTS!!

canuckguy · 01-08-2005, 04:47 PM

did you see jackson drop that ball? and rice on the sidelines.......

jalora · 01-08-2005, 04:55 PM

Boy, Engram should have had that. Did you see how pissed Hasselbeck was?

Mike Martz is the worst coach in football.

Doctor_Max · 01-08-2005, 04:57 PM

Why the hell did they trade for a sure handed guy in Rice and not even use him in that ideal situation?

Rdr4evr · 01-08-2005, 05:01 PM

Seahawks SUCK!! These receivers couldn't catch a game winning ball if their lives depended on it, albeit it was a tough catch, but this is the catches he is getting paid millions to make. What a heartbreaker that was, two in row in the wildcard. And to top it off, Rice wasn't even used in the final drive, which is understandable because they need speed on the field, but with receivers that don’t know how to catch, what good is it? What an upset, Hasselback could've probably got it to the goal line had he kept the ball.

Spartak · 01-08-2005, 05:11 PM

They are average teams at best OK, you got that sports media ?

Esen · 01-08-2005, 05:17 PM

bah, well that sux.
Now I have to hope that the Jets win otherwise Im out the first day. bah

silent_jay · 01-08-2005, 05:38 PM

GO BOLTS GO!!!!!

heccubusiv · 01-08-2005, 07:58 PM

do the chargers look this bad every week, or did they decide to play like idiots in the big time game

silent_jay · 01-08-2005, 08:03 PM

They are playing so fucking bad, this is terrible. They are just going through the motions, no desire, no heart, just fucking awful.

Doctor_Max · 01-08-2005, 08:30 PM

What a terrible play by Barton. That's way after the fact.

archer2371 · 01-08-2005, 08:42 PM

Yeah really, totally uncalled for, and could very well cost them the game. Not that I mind.

silent_jay · 01-08-2005, 08:54 PM

Fucking shit, missed field goal, christ

Doctor_Max · 01-08-2005, 09:05 PM

Fuck the Jets.

Marty, you have a rookie kicker in terrible conditions. Why do you run it 3 times into the middle of the line?

silent_jay · 01-08-2005, 09:10 PM

What a terrible game, the Bolts showed up for a little bit of the first quarter, and the last drive of the fourth. They got shit ass lucky too that Barton was a cement head and decided to throw in forearm smack. I too found myself wondering why they went into the middle 3 times, just a stupid decision.

Not to mention, his terrible, horrible, no good, very bad call during their first possession in overtime. Sure, nobody will mention it now because the Jets went 3 and out when they got the ball afterwards, but the call sucked. It was 2 and 1 and they passed it, unreal. You have to run the ball there, no questions asked. I don't know if the offensive coordinator calls the plays, either way, shitty.

archer2371 · 01-08-2005, 09:13 PM

Dat sucks. I was rooting for the Chargers. (Can't stand New York teams). Marty reverted to Marty ball when he didn't need to, those were really odd calls... Which brings me to my point of NFL OT being crappy. They need to adopt College's OT system, but that's another thread entirely.

Ace_O_Spades · 01-08-2005, 09:18 PM

Win some, lose some..

Win - Seagulls losing AGAIN... Good job Rams, I hate the seahawks

Loss - Chargers fantastic season drawing to a close too soon.... fuck

Esen · 01-08-2005, 09:33 PM

Wow, I'm still in it!

Esen · 01-09-2005, 08:13 AM

If you have to go into the triple tie breaker

And the total score is below both teams guesses; what do you do?
Who wins?

Esen · 01-09-2005, 08:15 AM

Never mind I read the thing it is who ever is closest.

BonesCPA · 01-09-2005, 08:16 AM

In the TFP Playoffs:

Giant Hamburger, steelerz, ironchef82, Fantasma and BonesCPA advance to the second round already.

If the total points for the weekend are:

219 or less - djtestudo advances against Spartak. 220 or more - Spartak advances.

207 or less - Chauncey advances against Absorbentishe. 208 or more - Absorbentishe advances.

If Denver is the lowest scoring team or the total points are 213 or more - present_future advances against archer2371. If Denver is not the lowest scoring team and the points are 212 or less - archer2371 advances.

Early week 2 lineups - Giant Hamburger vs. BoneCPA and ironchef82 vs. Fantasma. The rest to be decided today.

archer2371 · 01-09-2005, 11:04 AM

Oh crud... C'mon guys, you just gotta score 20 points....

Rdr4evr · 01-09-2005, 12:41 PM

Nothing gives me more pleasure than watching the Donkies and Shanarat lose.....it's fucking spectacular.

Bodyhammer86 · 01-09-2005, 12:46 PM

Another Broncos hater here, and I'm taking great pleasure in watching my fav. team rip them a new one

Esen · 01-09-2005, 01:22 PM

What are the offs of the Minnesota/ Greenbay game being low scorring?

Who actually likes them? I've never met a Donkie fan in my life. Anyways, Now that the Dolts, Seabags and Donkies are out, the only thing that would make the play-offs perfect is for the Colts to SLAUGHTER the Patsies. I DESPISE the Patsies and nothing would be more great than watching them lose after going 14-2. Nobody wants to see their boring lame play in the SuperBowl again for a thrid time. Hopefully Brady will throw his trademark INT's next week, one can only hope.

BonesCPA · 01-09-2005, 04:47 PM

Minnesota wins. The points are totalled (205 by my count). Here are the week 2 matchups:

djtestudo(1) vs. Chauncey(8)
Giant Hamburger (2) vs. BonesCPA(10)
steelerz(3) vs. archer2371(6)
ironchef82(4) vs. Fantasma(5)

Unlike the real playoffs, the favorites only lost one matchup. New thread to open on Monday.

BonesCPA · 01-09-2005, 04:50 PM

We have the winners of the direct matchups, but of all the posters in a stand alone competition boom29 picked three game winners, no one else picked more than 2.
