Wild Card Weekend Schedule Out...UGH

by Tony_O on Dec 28, 2008 7:55 PM CST Comment 16 comments

The starting times for the four wild-card games are set.

On Saturday, NBC will televise the Falcons-Cardinals game at 4:30 p.m. EST. At 8:00 p.m. EST, NBC will broadcast the Colts at either the Broncos or the Chargers.

On Sunday, the Ravens will visit the Dolphins at 1:00 p.m. EST on CBS. At 4:30 p.m. EST on FOX, the Eagles will face the Vikings in Minnesota.

Regardless of whether the Broncos or the Chargers nail down the AFC West crown, our guess is that the four road teams will all be favored.

You Know what this Means Vikings Fans...Yes We Get JOE BUCK AND TROY AIKMAN Calling the game sunday...Jesus Christ...

Well the last time they commented on the game we kicked the opponent’s team ass, so. . .

Both of those clowns were grudgingly offering praise. Aikman finally offered late: “Tavaris Jackson, say what you will about the kid, today he showed he can make all of the throws.”

I don’t know if anybody heard the guy calling the game today, early on he said AP lost the ball – which he hadn’t. It was just a segue to rip him for his performance last week.

Does anyone else think that 8, er 9 fumbles of which only four being lost isn’t too much considering the number of carries the guy has had? You’d think he cost the Vikes several games the way the media has been going on about it.

A lot of his fumbles came in just a couple games in a short span

Which is what makes it seem so bad. I can’t remember exactly, but it was 2-3 against the Lions, 2-3 against the Falcons, then another one yesterday. Of course, the fact that he’s fumbling so much lately is still disturbing.

In AP I trust

Best thing ever.

When the Vikings beat out the Pack in the 2004 Wildcard game and Joe Buck was kissing Favre’s ass the whole game. Favre threw 4 picks and Joe was sitting there saying how it wasn’t his fault. Have you ever watched the highlights? When Randy mooned the Pack fans, Joe Buck said “That is a disgusting act by Randy Moss.”
Wrong, it was hilarious. Joe Buck is a douchebag.

And Troy is overrated and acts like he knows everything about everything. Joe was ranting on the Cowboys today and Aikman just stared at the field in silence. Aikam only broke 20 touchdowns in one season ONE time.

Funny

Joe Buck called Randy’s moon at Lambeau “disgusting”. It was hilarious.
Today when Troy called the Cowboys game, Joe kept ranting on the boys and Aikman just stared at the field.

The Chargers will be tough. Colts might be favored in that game, but I wouldn’t want to play them right now. They’re definitely a ‘better’ than 8-8 team.

Cards will get destroyed.

Vikes….. we can definitely win, but the Eagles do scare me.

I dunno if they’ll get destroyed. That passing game can be potent. As long as Warner has time, the Falcons pass defense really isn’t all that grand. It’s servicable, but Boldin and Fitzgerald should outclass them. Plus Warner’s won a few SBs, so he knows the drill when it comes to the playoffs. This is Matt Ryan’s first experience, and he’s supposed to be a leader on the team. I think the Cards’ll put up more of a fight than people are giving them credit for.

Cant see the Eagles being favored by Vegas...

But i can see every swinging sports anchor-analyst-announcer-cameraman-editor-key grip and all the other so-called experts not giving the Vikings a chance!

All The More Incentive
