They scored 35 fucking points in the second half, jesus man

Point still stands about the KC players leaving the game and the poor clock management - ho hum; onwards.

Heart only starting to beat normally again after that one. Had backed the colts and had gave up just after half time, fair fecks to Andrew Luck.
Hoping the Eagles home advantage does it for them in this one! Had expected a few more scores at this stage

My personal opinion of Luck goes back to the PAC10

And I would imagine ever the most due hard of Colts fans probably thought he was bottling it in that first half - the only thing he could hit was KC Players.

Poor stuff from Bree's

Lebron · « **Reply #25845 on:** January 5, 2014, 01:43:13 am »

Although looking at it again the receiver should have got there

Ha ha. He was piss poor for 3 qtrs - the 4th qtr was more about KC running out of bodies and managing the clock like pop warner players rather the Luck pulling it out.

He really wasn't. Sure he had the picks (one not on him) but he orchestrated some very good drives during those 3. First for example was a great no huddle one that was capped off with Hilton's TD.

He is not the most precise QB but certainly a really good one that has the ability to become a great one.

Two of the worst plays you'll ever see by the Eagles. From 1st and 10 on the 16 to 3rd and 30 at the very fringe of field goal range.

And now they missed the 48 yarder. Brees with the ball on the 38. Mental.

He said himself that his first half was 'terrible, worst ever'. I'll take his own assessment.

Denial? Ha ha. As a Chargers fan I have no real interest in either KC or The Colts - so what exactly I'm in denial about I'm not sure.

Do we have any chance against the bengels, are secondary stinks

That fumble ruling is likely to be overturned upon review. Graham's knee seems to be down.

exiledintheUSA · « **Reply #25855 on:** January 5, 2014, 02:06:34 am »

It's a massive ask; the Chargers have always handled the 'underdog' tag pretty well and we have won 5 on the bounce but Cincy in Cincy is a whole different kettle of fish. Add to that it'll probably be about 20 degrees F all looks stacked against us.

Yet we're in the NFL, where glory lies in the man behind centre of the winning team, and woebetide the man who isn't good enough to be QB for a winning team. Luck's intangibles will only grow from here, no matter that he couldn't have won that game on his own.

We'll of course......they should just have both QB's out on the field with a wheely bin each as a target - those other fellas are just taking up valuable field space.

we're 5 and 2 against teams in the playoffs, we had no left tackle when we played them, plus we were without both are outside linebackers. If we compete on the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball we win, they have dalton we have rivers.

Shocking pick by Brees. Stared at his receiver the whole time and Ryans easily cut underneath for the INT.

Brees looks terrible. Dunno if it's what the Eagles' coverage is doing downfield or if the weather has him off. Eagles offense usually gets it rolling in the second half. Brees needs to get his head out of his ass, immediately.

Riley Cooper momentarily confused the ball with a black man, and instinctively dropped it

This is more like it, New Orleans.

Big drive coming here #analysis

Gods_Left_Boot · « **Reply #25868 on:** January 5, 2014, 03:21:07 am »

The Eagles might want to start tackling instead of going for the strip every bloody time. A complete draft bust and a 5'7" receiving-first back are running all over them. 20-7 Saints.

Popcorn · « **Reply #25869 on:** January 5, 2014, 03:22:04 am »

Saints much better this half, 13/10 looking good value here.

Saints' secondary is a shambles with Lewis out for concussion. They're down both their starting CBs and their best safety now. Brees needs to win them the game now.

Gods_Left_Boot · « **Reply #25873 on:** January 5, 2014, 04:12:02 am »

MASSIVE 3rd down conversion by the Saints. They can now milk most of the clock before the FG attempt.
Eagles' run D is putrid. Saints walking over them and the potential game-winning FG will be an easy one.

Ray K · « **Reply #25874 on:** January 5, 2014, 04:17:22 am »

Eagles couldn't get a stop when Bree's stopped giving it to them. Saints injuries came to late for the Eagles
