The 2004 NFL playoff thread

EAGLES WIN!!!! I actually believed in them the whole game, and if they lost..I wasn't going to be pissed, because they Packers would have deserved it. AMAZING 4th AND 26 PASS TO FREDDIE MITCHELL. That was so crazy! They came back, and then won it in OT, it was great, but VERY SUSPENSFUL. I'm so happy, and it's good that the Panthers are beat up too. I just don't think the Eagles can beat the Colts or the Patriots. :-\ Well, I can't wait till next week..maybe they'll make the Super Bowl this year, maybe not. And Bond, sorry for you that the Packers lost.

holy crap, the Packers literally THREW IT AWAY.

That game shouldn't have even gone into OT...and then Favre throws a BIRD into the hands of an EAGLE. I'm disappointed...that's not how any team should lose, let alone in OT in the PLAYOFFS.

Ah well, it looks like I'm kicking ass in the pool, unless someone else has similar picks.

12 New England
11 Philly
10 Indianapolis
09 St. Louis - eliminated
08 Green Bay - eliminated
07 Tennessee - eliminated
06 Carolina
05 Kansas City - eliminated

39 points this week, 70 total points

[Stonecutter]

First number is total points after the divisional round, second number is the maximium possible points.

Stonecutter 55 90
Bond 64 96
Joeiss 49 71
Stu 70 105
Germy 59 94
Jason 71 94

Needless to say, carolina killed me, and GB killed Bond and Joeiss......... well, better luck next year.

Wow, that game was great...just great. I was giving the game to the Packers before the 4th and 26...No way were the Eagles going to pull that one of. To be honest, in the end, I was rooting as much for the Packers to lose as for the Eagles to win. I knew if the Packers won another OT game, that the bull**** destiny, dead dad talk is all I'd hear for a week, it would have pissed me off...I'm glad that Sherman didn't have the confidence to run on that 4th and 1, despite the fact that the Packers were running ALL OVER the Eagles D. And thanks to Brett Favre for throwing what looked like a punt to Brian Dawkins in OT. I'll take on Carolina any day with a beat up Stephen Davis, plus we've already beaten them. Though I'm pissed because I may not be able to even watch the game, but whatever....Fly Eagles fly.

I don't see how Jason could have more points than me...I think he must have 61 as opposed to 71

Yep, you're right, it's 61, good catch.

Hmmmm...I would check that myself, but I dont want to.

I wonder if my maximum points thing is correct also...whatever.

[Stonecutter]

I had 61 on my spreadsheet, I just typed 71 when I was putting it onto the forums. The sheet is correct. After the Superbowl you guys can scrutinize it all you want, it's not like we actually have money on it.

So, what do you people think? Colts vs. New England, and Panthers vs. Eagles. Who's going to the Super Bowl. My picks are Philadelphia, and hmm...it all depends on New England's offense, because I know they have a good enough defense to stop the Colts on some drives, it's just, if their offense doesn't show up, then the Colts will most likely win. My pick is still New England though.

[Perfect Stu]

I'll predict...Panthers vs. Colts

[The Germanator]

Eagles V. Patriots. Donovan won't let the birds fall 3 times in a row in the championship.

Well..I don't really care this time. The Panthers were here to play, but the Eagles weren't. They made some mistakes, so they lost. I guess we'll just have to look forward to next year. The Eagles weren't really that great these past two seasons, they're way too over-rated, so, I don't think they're ready to win the NFC Championship game. The closest they came was two years ago, in St. Louis. That was a good team, and a good game. Maybe next year they'll make it, maybe they won't, but only two teams can, and well..they just don't seem ready to climb over that last obstacle. So we'll just wait and see. Go Eagles.
