By now, I’m sure you’re aware that the Ravens squeaked by the mistake-prone Titans and the Cardinals waxed the Panthers. Today, we’ve got Philadelphia @ NY Giants (1:00 pm, EST) and San Diego @ Pittsburgh (4:45 pm, EST). Today’s winners will meet yesterday’s winners in their respective conference’s championship game next week to decide who will play in the Super Bowl.

The Eagles are hot, but the Giants have nice uniforms. Mark Travis(Quote)
speaking of NFL comments…
I call BS on patphish’s argument. All of the things he mentioned happen in the college game as well…
“5 man conferences after every play. Inconsistent holding, pass interference, and roughing the passer calls. Stupid replay rules.”
I would argue that having the ref on the field check with the booth after every play is just as annoying as 5 man conferences. Inconsistent holding? That’s the definition of football, it happens on every level. PI calls? Please. In college I can interfere on an obvious catch 60 yards downfield and it’s a 15 yard penalty. Roughing the Passer? Both levels have kicked up the times it’s called.
And by the way, pro refs are pro for a reason. They are better than college refs. This is obvious to people with brains. They screwed up? Shocker. That never happens in college.
All these are just excuses from college fans who don’t want to like the NFL. College has even more stupid overtime than the NFL. The same things are not reviewable in college as they are in the NFL.
But they have standardized scheduling, all the conferences have a championship game, and guess what? There’s no stupid BCS system because they aren’t the only ones stupid enough in the entire world to run a sport with a non-playoff postseason.
By the way, I love college football. It’s just not the NFL.

ZOMG, ice on Philly’s bench. Mark Travis(Quote)
My only problem between the college game and the NFL game is the very very conservative nature of the NFL. GatorTrey(Quote)
5 yards of offense and a 7-3 lead
wonder if Donovan will be able to keep his lunch down in this game sae(Quote)
I doubt it. If Philly can’t run the ball, then they are doomed. Mark Travis(Quote)
The Giants can’t run either. Mark Travis(Quote)
The Eagles would rather hit the Giants then try to get a touchback. Mark Travis(Quote)
McNabb is saftied thanks to the intentional grounding call. Mark Travis(Quote)
Tim Tebow just announced he’s coming back at the championship rally. GatorTrey(Quote)
congratulations on that 2009 SEC Championship, trey. mizerle06(Quote)
sparty’s at the game. I bet he’s pissed…and cold. mizerle06(Quote)
Hey trey, is Tebow really staying? Mark Travis(Quote)
@Mark – yes: http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/news/story?id=3825566. mizerle06(Quote)
Sparty likes defensive battles. He should be thrilled with this game so far. marcomarco(Quote)
Purdue got their 2 injured players back and they dominated Wisconsin. Hummel makes such a difference when he’s playing. knightwhosaysni(Quote)

The Giants are frauds! knightwhosaysni(Quote)
#15 > WCNYFG sae(Quote)
I hope San Diego wins. Any year that the Colts don’t win it I want a team that hasn’t won it before to. Will be 3 in 4 chance if SD wins. knightwhosaysni(Quote)
G-Frauds!!!!!!!!eleventy!!111!!111! rekcalsa(Quote)
Congrats, Rek!
I’m just happy that when I go to watch the Super Bowl with all my friends (Giants’ fans) I won’t have to vomit. guyinthecorner(Quote)
sparty wanted me to inform you all the he will be throwing himself off of the George Washington bridge. he loves you all. mizerle06(Quote)
I am so fucking happy right now…now if the Steelers lose tonight, I’ll be even happier…and 24 starts up too!! What a great day…Eagles were a bit sloppy but did what they needed to and Eli sucks major ass…glad he didn’t bitch to come to my team. rekcalsa(Quote)
Let sparty know that the F(ormer)WCNYFG suck….glad I don’t hafta hear him and RWH anymore…now they’ll just rag on the Eagles all the time. rekcalsa(Quote)
Sparty? You still alive kid? Is there a waiting list to jump from the bridge right now?
I still can’t wrap my head around the fact that the Cardinals are about to host the NFC Title Game. Big D(Quote)
big d-
What about the fact that if the Chargers win this, the two teams we all thought didn’t even belong in the playoffs will be hosting both championship games?
I’m confused. guyinthecorner(Quote)
I don’t care who wins the second game, Baltimore is too good on defense right now to be stopped.
// Probably shouldn’t put statements like that in writing. Big D(Quote)
does this mean that the website name will switch to mizerle and friends? mikeychx(Quote)
i’ve just pulled myself out of the Hudson. I am heading to the Empire State Building now…. sparty(Quote)
and just so you all know…yes, they are just the Giants now. sparty(Quote)
congrats, rek. Enjoy it.
/Fuck sparty(Quote)
Shouldn’t they be the NACNYFG, now? HawkEye19(Quote)
GIANTS SUCK!!!
/piling on mizerle06(Quote)
patphish is right. sparty(Quote)
oh boy…. jpmanahan(Quote)
Thanks sparty…Giants didn’t look good at all…better luck next year. rekcalsa(Quote)
So, WCNYFG just officially lost the WC eh.
/NYFG’d
//Why didn’t they play like that on 2/3/08
///yup, still bitter
Has 1&2 seeded teams ever lost 3x, (possibly 4!) in divisional round? Ever?
I think I’m rooting for Arizona now, which would be the perfect ending to a very strange season. marcomarco(Quote)
i think we can call this the bizarro playoffs now. jpmanahan(Quote)
If SD wins, they get an AFC Championship home game?
Arizona is hosting the NFC Championship home game?
Holy crap. The end of the world might be upon us. They both finished with the WORST TWO RECORDS of all TWELVE playoff teams.
Wow. marcomarco(Quote)
halftime: 14-10 pitt jpmanahan(Quote)
We could have an all Pennsylvania super bowl. knightwhosaysni(Quote)
all Pennsylvania Super Bowl = most unhappy, bitter Super Bowl ever. mizerle06(Quote)
The only time a Super Bowl has had 2 teams from the same state was Super Bowl XXIX when San Francisco beat San Diego 49-26. knightwhosaysni(Quote)
Pitt is going to lose to Baltimore next week. Mark Travis(Quote)
this game is nearing OVER Johnny(Quote)
do you go for the jugular? jpmanahan(Quote)
Pittsburgh beat Baltimore both times. Of course Dallas beat the Giants both times last year. knightwhosaysni(Quote)
The Phillies won the world series, the election was mostly centered around Pennsylvania, Pittsburgh is #1 in college basketball. We might have an all Pennsylvania Super Bowl. Did the center of the universe move to Pennsylvania and no one told me? knightwhosaysni(Quote)
Also the Penguins were in the Stanley Cup final. knightwhosaysni(Quote)
Penn State lost in the Rose Bowl though, and College Football is the most popular sport in the US. Mark Travis(Quote)
as for the sixers and the soul….. jpmanahan(Quote)
pitt’s defense or baltimore’s defense….
whom should i get? jpmanahan(Quote)
Baltimore gets more turnovers, Pitt will get the sacks. Mark Travis(Quote)
whichever D you think will be playing in the super bowl sae(Quote)
that is so hard….
the key to winning the challenge has been to pick correctly the first 2 weeks to build a cushion…. jpmanahan(Quote)
i also checked that it is the golden globes tonight. jpmanahan(Quote)
sparty-
Way to make a cohesive argument. guyinthecorner(Quote)
This week’s Gridiron Challenge is tough…really gotta figure out who’s gonna win between Pitt and Baltimore…gonna be a fun ride. rekcalsa(Quote)
It hasn’t given me credit for Santonio Holmes punt return td. I trust by tomorrow it will give me those 6 points. knightwhosaysni(Quote)
kwsn–Wouldn’t that go to the Steelers D/ST?? rekcalsa(Quote)
Perhaps it goes to them as well but it also says offensive players get credit for rushing, receiving or return tds. I had a player in the regular season gridiron challenge have a kickoff return td and i got 6 points for it then. knightwhosaysni(Quote)
It was actually in week 5 when I had Reggie Bush against Minnesota and he retuned 2 punts for tds. He got me 20 points that week. It kicked ass. knightwhosaysni(Quote)
gitc-
i didn’t really care. sparty(Quote)
Oh ok…well that would be cool for you…they’ll probably get it in overnight when they sort out all the D/ST points…the D/ST points aren’t updated until the next day according the the little disclaimer on the entry page. rekcalsa(Quote)
