True. Detroit/New Orleans and Pittsburgh/Denver are intriguing options but Dallas probably trumps all for Saturday primetime.ts1227;1034201 wrote:If NBC gets dibs, they will only consider PIT if NYG wins tonight, IMO.

4:00 on CBS Sunday with Nantz/Simms beats Saturday afternoon (no one is home) with NBC's backup announce crew of Tom Hammond and Mike Mayock. Better day, network, and crew.dazedconfused;1034210 wrote:for wildcard weekend, i'm pretty sure they have their choice of nfc teams for the primetime game this year (jets/colts was nbc's primetime game last year for wildcard weekend and falcons/packers was fox's primetime game for the divisional round). i'd imagine steelers/broncos will be the 430 game on sunday
To reduce injuries caused by kickoff collisions by increasing the number of touchbacks. I'm not a fan of that rule either, but if the evidence over the next few years shows that kickoff related injuries are significantly down I couldn't argue against the legitimacy of it.Skyhook79;1034202 wrote:So why do they kick off from the 35 yd line now?
You might be right about that. I know for the divisional round it rotates so CBS will have the primetime game on Saturday, either at Baltimore or at New England.dazedconfused;1034210 wrote:for wildcard weekend, i'm pretty sure they have their choice of nfc teams for the primetime game this year (jets/colts was nbc's primetime game last year for wildcard weekend and falcons/packers was fox's primetime game for the divisional round). i'd imagine steelers/broncos will be the 430 game on sunday
Win your Division then. All the steelers had to do was win 1 of 2 against the Ravens and not lose both including at HOME.Mulva;1034219 wrote:
But I'll always argue against an 8-8 team hosting a 12-4 team. I think the Steelers will win anyway though. Denver sucks.
I was hoping for that time slot.dazedconfused;1034292 wrote:game is at 430 on sunday btw

Mendenhall is scheduled to undergo an MRI later Sunday to confirm the diagnosis.
Pittsburgh will face Denver in the Wild Card round of the playoffs next weekend.
Mendenhall got hurt on a 5-yard carry on the final play of the first quarter against Cleveland.
He walked slowly to the sideline. [READ]

Looks like karma for his 9/11 comments finally came back to bite him in the ass.
He acted like an idiot POS and now has a torn ACL at the end of the season which could screw up his season next yr as well. And to top it off he has to miss playing in the post season.Ironman92;1034329 wrote:How's that karma?

he just voiced an idiotic opinion on a terrorist. a fluke mis-step caused his acl to tear, not karmaCommander of Awesome;1034347 wrote:He acted like an idiot POS and now has a torn ACL at the end of the season which could screw up his season next yr as well.

Tebow's family tree must be flawless then. Maybe one of them fucked up somewhere along the line and karma will bite him in the ass next Sunday. At least that's what I'm hoping for.Ironman92;1034401 wrote:Karma from his Dad's past. Karma is also generational.
