Trash Talk – Saturday Wildcard Weekend Fighting Edition
It is Wildcard Saturday in the NFL! First up are today’s games; i will update later today with Sunday’s games. Oh, and due to dismal performance by my boy, it is no longer the "National Favre League", but is just back to NFL. Sadness.
Dirty Birds at Red Birds: First thing, are we a bunch of fucking pathetic mopes here in Phoenix or what? The NFL had to extend time for ticket sales to insure there was a sellout so that they could even put the freaking game on TeeVee here. Yes, the Cardinals are losers, and us natives know it.
This is the first home playoff game for the Cardinals since 1947. Sixty one years. The Cards do not have a wealth of experience with this stuff except for Kurt Warner. Of course, the Falcons ain’t got a lot either. Line is three points with the dogs being the homeboys.
I am a homeboy, and the Cards may be dogs, but they play well at home. They win their first home playoff game in 61 years.
Colts at Bolts: well, this ought to be quite a game what with the MVP philip Rivers playing in it and all; he really deserved it since he carried the team with LT having an off year.
Oh, wait, randiego got it wrong. The MVP is Marcy’s favorite quarterback in the world, PEYTON MANNING! This game is a pick em, but I am picking the Colts.
UPDATE:
Other Dirty Birds at Fish: Going into the weekend, all four road teams were favored over the homeboys. So far, that theory has been completely blown up. Quite frankly, I had a good inkling that the Cards would win, they are very good at home and the crowd noise gets going pretty good in the Big Toaster.
But here is another factor: No rookie quarterback has ever won a road playoff game. Pertinence to the current tilt: Baltimore has a rookie signal caller, Joe Flacco. Now, to be fair Flacco, unlike Matt Ryan who came out of the gate hot, has progressed slowly and steadily. And he is very bright. The odds say to go with Pennington and the hometown Fins if you ask me. If that were the only consideration; but it is not. There is also Ray Lewis, Ed Reed and the Ravens defense. And some guy named Parcells is lurking around too.
So, here is what I think it boils down to – the running game and short play action passing. In fairness, earlier this year the Ravens, led by Ray Ray and Bart Scott, totally shut down the much discussed Miami "wildcat" offense. Ravens factor back willis MacGahee had an up and down second half. Ronnie Brown has really come on. And don’t forget Ricky williams, the guy can still ball.
Bottom line: Chad Pennington’s short passing game carries the day and the Fish make it three out of four for home teams.
UPDATE TWO
Iggles at Vikings: Where are Purple People Eaters MadDog and MinnesotaChuck when you need them? I tell ya, nowhere to be found, that’s where. Shrinking violets, and that does not bode well for the Norske when their two most identifiable fans here at the blog are already hiding. But LabDancer is here representing. Somebody needs to, because half of the Vike’s season ticket holders refused to buy tickets to the game. They had to extend the NFL deadline twice, all the way to yesterday, in order to get the sales necessary to even broadcast the game on local TeeVee. That is worse than the Cardinals, which is a tough bar to clear. Crikey.
Both teams have pretty sound defenses, but the Iggles’ Dee, under Jim Johnson, is a lot more creative with their motion and blitz packages, which is a real bad thing for an untested effective rookie like Tavaris Jackson, who is not known for his defense reading capabilities in the first place. Donovan McNabb, however, has been on a roll since his "benching", and he has a fully capable Brian Westbrook today. Westbrook makes Philly tick; he is that dynamic.
Adrain Peterson is a stud running back, and he is going to get his yards today. But Bernard Berrian is the only receiving threat the Vikes have, and Asante Samuel should shut him down. I just don’t see Tavaris Jackson getting enough off versus Johnson’s blitzing for Peterson alone to carry the day. Eagles win one for the Gooper (Yep, I snuck a Spectre/Haggis joke in there).
I’m gonna root against bmaz here: SD and Rivers (for the bragging rights–and yes, I’m nuts), and the NFC South against whatever it is that counts for pro football in bmaz’s home town.
Yeah, well, that would historically be the Sun Devils, but they now suck too.
It’s not the “National Favre League”. Never was.
It’s the No Fun League. Ask PacMan.
Scribe’s picks:
Falcons at Cards – who cares (though, I’d like to see how Michael Vick, in the pen or in the halfway house, deals with his fellow inmates gettin’ on him and “you coulda’ been there”). Do they still use cigarettes for currency in prison? These guys had La-z-boys in their cells.
Colts at Bolts – Colts, in a bombs-away display of passing.
T’morrer:
Birds at Vikes – 2,000 or so drunks from the 700 level descend on the HHH Homerdome and raise holy hell with Minnesota Nice to remind them why it’s important to sell out games – begging is unseemly. Particularly playoff games. Philly.
Ravens and Fish – Parcells casts some psychological voodoo or whatever on Ballmer. Plus, Chad has something to prove to all those green-wearing folks in NYC who are, Favre- and Mangidiot-less, still flailing around like Polyphemus post his meeting with Nemo. Fish.
Mark Ingram: Caught.
Cards 7, Falcons 0
What?? What happened to “Wild-card cannon fodder”??
Welcome aboard the bandwagon. We’re just happy to be here. If the Lightning Bolts can get past Indy…
Getting the sell-out-dependent local TV broadcast here in Viking land was a close run thing as well. As of this morning they still needed to sell 3,100 tickets, even after the first deadline of 3:30 pm, CST, Friday expired. So they got a second stay of execution and per the Strib just a few minutes ago it appears they made it. Not that I’m holding my breath for a positive outcome in tomorrow’s late game. It all depends on which Viking team shows up: the one that can hang onto the ball or the one that can’t.
Go watch Viking #69 beg – literally beg – Minnesota people to part with their Christmas Bonuses to fill the Homerdome. The linked video – BTW – is from the official Vikings site.
OOps.
Here’s the link, and the video is linked through it.
That’s Jared Allen, the high-dollar defensive end they snatched up when he had a falling out at Kansas City. A quite extroverted guy, I believe.
Fun to watch a pro football player beg for an audience, no?
You know BMAZ, I really didn’t care one way or another about the Redbirds when they were the “Phoenix Cardinals”, but when they expropriated the entire state by becoming the “Arizona Cardinals”, that cemented my hatred for them. The gall to claim the entire state is just like the “Boys” claiming to be America’s team. Go Falcons!!
I am still in mourning after what happened to my Tide yesterday. The only solace is that the PAC was 5-0 in bowls.
I also like the Colts over SD, although I have a fond spot in my heart for Norv.
ArZ vs. ATl
I liked what I saw on the AZ first drive. EJ run run run. And then flee-flicka to LJ for 6. Since then the AZ offense has been caught in a maze of twisty little passages as if figure out what works and what doesn’t. The play caller is being too cute for school. AZ has the firepower to win this. They don’t know what guns to use.
Ryan got off to a bad start. The game is being played faster than he is reacting. If he makes the adjustment, the Falcons can beat the cards.
My pick AZ.
Meanwhile, Denver looks for a new coach.
402 hrs & 38 min
The real Cardinals are back.
I missed them briefly.
Hey Bmaz, why do they have the big toaster closed?
…to keep the crowd noise in or so the NBC commentators claimed.
Dude, it is only 60 degrees and a little overcast here….
Inclement weather!!!
NBC picked up Matt Millen to comment on the wildcard game at halftime. Prolly because of his incomparable record as CEO and GM of the Detroit kitties. Seriously, is it just me or do we have a culture that rewards failure. … is Detroit still paying him?
Which is why I asked the local… figured he might have the skinny on the ins-and-outs of the new digs.
Commentators = idiots. The last time any one of these guys said anything insightful I was in short pants.
Hey bamz, how mad must Favre be over how ESPN kept repeating all the trash in the hit pieces from the NY rags in their ticker over and over and over during the bowl games? It seemed like they ran that junk for over two days. I’ll bet Favre’s agent was melting the phone lines to Bristol.
Falcons v Cards
Falcons -2
I know I’m late for the Bird Bowl, the Cards are up
14-321-17Cards keep up the pace and win easily
[You can ignore this one if you want since the game is being played as I type]
—-
Colts v Bolts
Chargers -1.5
Close game otherwise, but with LT hurt, fate swings to the Colts and they win. Take the Colts and the points
—–
Ravens v Dolphins
Ravens -3.5
This tough because I like what Parcells and Sparano are doing but I think the Ravens are too strong
Ravens cover and win
—-
Eagles v Vikings
Eagles -3
This is tough because the Vikes are my team and it’s hard to be objective, but I did nail their overall final record, here goes …
These teams are kind of bi-polar
The Vikings won a weak NFC
Cen.. North, with the best RB in the NFL, along with the best defensive line and the 6th best defense in the league. They won 5 of their last 6, and 7 of their last 9. They’ve beaten both the Giants and the Panthers. They’ve won close games and blowouts. But at the same time they’ve had Tarvaris Jackson and Gus Frerotte as QBs and a Special Teams that have leaked like a seive.And the Eagles creamed the Boys last week and won 4 of their last 5. The Eagles have the best defense in the NFC and McNabb is a proven veteran. But they lost twice to the Redskins and wound up with a tie to the Bengals.
The game is being played in Minnesota
The Vikings are 6-2 at home
The Eagles are 3-4-1 on the road
I think Adrian Peterson is pissed that he was fourth place in the MVP voting. FOURTH!?!
Vikings win a close one, and also take the points
Peterson’s running (watch for at least one big run during a blitz where the Eagles guess wrong) and play action will be the game-changer for the Vikings

bmaz,
Great music video. I don’t remember The Who covering Saturday Night’s Alright.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=io-HQW8giXs
Whew, you’ve come up with some great YouTubes thes e days.
thanks rOTL. I made the My Generation video. The clip from VH1 caught my eye so I put it together with the song … it’s especially cool seeing Gorden slack-jaw with admiration over John Entwistle’s bass playing, and then hearing the bass guitar riffs throughout the song.
As a Patriots fan, I will cheer for the bolts to win. As a handicapper, I will pick Indy based on their defense and experienced QB.
As Red Cashion would say…
FIRST DOWWWWN!!!
Somewhere Don Coryell is smiling… he always said he loved ”those feisty little birds” on the helmets…
Couple of observations:
1) Just saw Andrea Kremer of NBC Sports do an interview with Norval Turner. He had all the excitement of having just left his mother’s funeral. Jeebus.
2) This is clearly the most professional work Matt Millen has done in many, many years. Where has he been all that time….oh, wait, nevermind.
What? Did the Bolts sign Garo Yepremian or something?
Nice kickoff….
Good game, lots of tactics being called upon to get an advantage!
OT.
Woohoo!!
I kept saying–all that early season bad yellow flag karma was gonna come back.
And I gotta say, neither of these QBs looked like an MVP tonight.
San Diego’s mvps are a punter and some guy who’s shorter than me ???
fyi, I’m an inch shorter an a day younger than doug flutie
homers win in the playoffs
so how did two rookies get to be favored on the road ???
I pick the SOONERS in the only game that matters this week
and WOO HOO for Al Franken, he’s good enough, he’s smart enough, people like him, and gosh darn it, he’s the junior Senator from Minnesota …
Wow, that was a hell of a game. Gotta hand it to the Chargers. That was a gutsy win. They overcame a ton of sacks, two ugly turnovers, and what seemed like a half-dozen balls bouncing off DB’s hands.
When Rivers got sacked on 3rd-10 with 2:30, I figured we were done – we’ve lost games like that all year. The punt by Scifres saved us – sometimes it feels like he’s our best player.
Agree about the two QB’s. Rivers had guys in his face all night with only 4 rushers. That pass-blocking doesn’t bode well for games against either Tenn or Pitt.
As far as “Flag karma” goes… I’m just glad that the calls in OT were legit and not the ticky-tack ones…
Rivers looked like Muddy Waters. I dunno about the Bolts.
UPDATE on the early game:
Other Dirty Birds at Fish: Going into the weekend, all four road teams were favored over the homeboys. So far, that theory has been completely blown up. Quite frankly, I had a good inkling that the Cards would win, they are very good at home and the crowd noise gets going pretty good in the Big Toaster.
But here is another factor: No rookie quarterback has ever won a road playoff game. Pertinence to the current tilt: Baltimore has a rookie signal caller, Joe Flacco. Now, to be fair Flacco, unlike Matt Ryan who came out of the gate hot, has progressed slowly and steadily. And he is very bright. The odds say to go with Pennington and the hometown Fins if you ask me. If that were the only consideration; but it is not. There is also Ray Lewis, Ed Reed and the Ravens defense. And some guy named Parcells is lurking around too.
So, here is what I think it boils down to – the running game and short play action passing. In fairness, earlier this year the Ravens, led by Ray Ray and Bart Scott, totally shut down the much discussed Miami “wildcat” offense. Ravens factor back willis MacGahee had an up and down second half. Ronnie Brown has really come on. And don’t forget Ricky williams, the guy can still ball.
Bottom line: Chad Pennington’s short passing game carries the day and the Fish make it three out of four for home teams.
What … NOTHING on Iggles v Norsk?
Actually, I kinda approve. Everything single time the Purps have given me that ‘hope thing’, going on FORTY FRICKIN’ YEARS now – through Fran Franatic, the Honorable Alan Page, the Kappmeister, Chuck, and of course the Randy Years – I look in my sack-n-pillage bag & there’s a lump of coal [not even the “clean sort].
We Horn Heads are left to point to that misdirection play in 1066 on a wet playing field in Merry Olde for any bragging rights at all [Those were no froggies – the original Vikes had a brief desire for continental food a few decades before the invasion and spent a week taking down Normandy – and still wouldn’t have taken down Harold Son of Ethelred the Under Scouter but for that misdirection play up near the border of golf.].
So bmaz: I’m joining you on this: gonna hold my ears and breath and mumble “nah nah nah nah” & give the Scandis half a schance.
It is coming. I have been behind the curve all weekend on Trash. There is an explanation, but it is all still unacceptable. I will do better for next week. There used to be some character named EW around here, but apparently, she is too busy eating Belgian waffles or something….
What, you need help there?
Naw, the real issue is jealousy over your training table and chef capabilities. Am trying to convince my wife that there is a “food capability gap” (similar to a missile gap, but edible) that needs to be closed. Not having much luck with that….
Gotta say, my pick of Pennington and the Fish is looking completely craptastic.
Or rather, your pick against the Baltimore D is looking craptastic.
At the moment, at least.
I had Miami too – I thought they were a good pick at home… Baltimore keeps impressing me by beating people!
I’m happy with this result – we’d rather play Pittsburgh next week than Tennessee. The Chargers lost to Pitt several weeks ago, but that was in Pitt and only by 1 point.
I think Pittsburgh is pretty vulnerable at the QB position, and I don’t think a week off is going to help.
You gotta be shitting me. The man with Muddy Waters (It ain’t Rivers) at quarterback is going to allege that the Ben Roethlisberger led Stillers are “vulnerable at the QB position”??
Jenny, check his head for surfboard dents please!
Hey, don’t make me crush you with all the stats at my disposal. I have to run, but I’ll just leave you with this:
“Muddy Waters” is still playing. Your Golden Boy Peyton ain’t.
You’ve been wrong a lot – what will you say next week?
It’s what I do here….
Marcy needs a counterbalance.
Oh no. On football I got you beat.
yeah, but you’re geographically handicapped
whiners in Arizona got no excuse
anybody else notice that mcnabb has 9 points, so far
startin from their own 5, wonder how that’s gonna work
I believe i have mentioned this Ed Reed guy before.
.
He is good.

Thank you – –
on behalf of the Norske – on behalf of the Norske-nuts – on behalf of the 14.3 supporters who still have enough apparent equity in their igloos to afford a ticket to the Hrumphdome – on behalf of all those who still sneak up to the attic to don, however briefly, the felt horns and faux Siegfried locks – –
for picking against the Purp.
Just the right stuff to buoy our eternally flickering hopes.
Well, I knew you needed some mojo…..
was that chad pennington, or his lesser known twin, brett pennington

think about it
ain’t he the guy who berated the possibility that muddy waters would even make the playoffs ???
and he always seem to be down rating that fine team from Arizona
what’s up with that ???
maybe we should be checkin his head for a lack of dents …
jus sayin, is all
(ducking and running)
Go Vikes! You inspired me!
Hope you’re rushing to make a flight to the Twin Cities. The Vike offense has two plays: shock and awful, and Jackson appears stuck in the latter zone. Also, never been a believer in the “bore ‘em so silly they just pick up and leave town” game place, but Childress appears to fancy himself a master of the oeuvre.
I’ll be back for more fun later…. I really gotta run….
Joe Buck on the Vikes offence under Jackson, to this point shut out, down 6, moving the ball the imagination of a wet tree stump through distilled mud: “It hasn’t been overwhelming, but pretty good for this quarterback”.
Two hankies and a shocker by Adrian = Vikes TD.
chester taylor works for all the yards, AP scores from the goal line
mcnabb developing favreism
it’s anybody’s game at the half
And if it goes a couple more years i.e. how long it’ll take for Childress to realize he’s suffocating a natural roll-out QB among the tall trees, it could be the break-out this edition of Vikes need.
Apparently Saturday is for the Wild Cards, Sunday for the Mild Cards.
Joe Buck: “Really nothing surprising in this game”. That’s why you hear the boos.
See, and I thought those were from those Ricola horns all the Norse bring to the game….
Only one; the other’s where we carry the kerosene and matches to ease the conversion of the longboats into funeral pyres. Oop, gotta scoot: I caught marshmallow duty.
Norskedammerung.
Hey 60 Miniutes is doing a story on Mike leech from Texas Tech for anybody interested. It was pretty cool.
The weekend was far from a downer, due entirely to the groans I hear from Big Fat and the those LLs telling their Ls at FauxNoose.
For the record, as of September 16, 2008, there were over a million more signatures on Fire Brad Childress petitions than the number of votes cast by Minnesotans on November 4, 2008: http://tinyurl.com/6w4olp – mostly due to his hegemony as the Most Brain Dead Game Planner not serving on the Coleman Recount Team: http://tinyurl.com/9z2m9k.
Man, I can’t believe there isn’t more buzz here about what I think was one of the greatest playoff games ever.
I’m glad my team won and all, but how could anyone not think that was an epic battle? You had a tense close game, with gutsy calls from both teams late, incredible record-setting performances by a punter and the smallest player in the NFL, a trick-play for a TD… man that game had everything!
Also, lets give some props to Norv, who punted the ball away to Peyton Manning, trailing, with 2:30 left. Huge, gutsy call – how many head coaches have the stones to punt there?
That was one for the ages, people.
What you been drinking man?
Column in the Pittsburgh Post Gazette today:
Chargers did the Steelers a favor
Man, I just love this stuff. Let’s cut to the chase, shall we?
As opposed to Indy? Who just got beat by the “relatively weak opponent“?
Aren’t the Stillers the team with the QB that got taped to a backboard and driven straight to a hospital last week with like his fifth concussion? No wait, that was just a mild concussion.
You see that motorcycle he crumpled up?? He ain’t gonna be affected by that little nap he took the other day. Big Ben is not like LT, he will come to play if they have to wheel him onto the field on that stretcher.
Oh yeah, Mr. 24th-ranked QB will show for sure. Keep in mind he earned that ranking before his mild concussion.
Isn’t a mild concussion sort of like minor brain surgery?
However, if he has a detached tendon on his pubic bone, I doubt he’d be much good. Nice dig at LT, Raider Fan – it makes perfect sense that a guy could score 126 TD’s in the NFL and not have any heart.
Hey it is Trash Talk you know!
Heh heh
Raider fan? Ouch. It would have sufficed to call me a Bronco fan; in fact, right now that is even worse in a way.
you keep using that word
I think maybe that word doesn’t mean what you think it means
if the bolts win next week, somebody is gonna have to hose that guy down, or we’ll never get any peace around here …
Hey we’re just happy to be here
so are they warming up the toaster for texas vs ohio st ???
is this the tostitoes whiner bowl or the tostiotoes loser bowl, I forget
my disrepect for texas runs so deep that I don’t even root for their opponents
my two favorite teams are still Oklahoma and whoever nebraska plays next
BOOMER SOONERS
here’s to a 0 – 0 tie in the whiner-loser bowl
okay ya florida lovin bastards, gimme yer best shot …
Well this is the suckiest Fiesta Bowl in history so far. No excitement, boring game, crappy teams, shiity announcers. A royal flush of craptastic bad so far. Bleech.
considering that the both teams can’t lose, I was figuring on being disappointed with the outcome either way
but I do like defense, so this is fine by me
I never much liked the idea of a “fiesta” bowl in the first place
bowls need to be named after American stuff, like Roses, and Oranges, and cotton, and Sugar, and bluebonnets, stuff like that
then the bowls started gettin all screwy, with the fiesta bowl leading the way (it’s just the holiday bowl plus some delusions of grandure)
I’m used to my team throwing Oranges on the field when we win the conference championship
how the hell do you throw a “fiesta” on to the field ???
(wink)
Jalapenos bubba!
Wow Texas is getting blown off the ball!
Shhh… don’t tell anyone, but I caught the missus rooting against Texas – It’s a family thing, you wouldn’t understand…
rooting against texas is a sign of respect
and we just can’t tolerate that
go texas, Make the SOONERS look good
you gotta give texas some credit, at least their band knows the name of the school they’re attending (anybody Figured out why Ohio St’s band spells out the name of the Bobcats school ???
(wink)
Okay, I’m rooting FOR Texas, because they make all the rest of the Big-12 South look good – the theory being that they really WERE a super-conference this year… (nevermind Tech getting their asses handed to them)
OTOH, it would seem the missus has an ax to grind, if ya get my meanin’.
Allow me to ’splain. The missus’ brother played tuba in the Texas marching band, the whole family is in Austin, so it’s All UT, All The Time, including burnt orange decor, Longhorns PJ’s, etc
When we were in Austin at T’giving, the Austin sports page was all whine, every day we were there – laughable really.
Hey, your “super team” finally found the end zone.
Pretty much needed to be spotted a map, compass and GPS unit, but they found it.
Man, you ain’t kiddin’. To be clear, I said “super conference”, not “super team”.
Man, this guy was second in the Heisman? And Graham Harrel never got a sniff?
for the record, the greatest commentator slip up of the week occurred when chris collinsworth was gonna credit the blocking skills of a wide receiver
just as collingworth started saying “not only does he run good routes and make good catches, he also …” and they showed the clip of the guy blocking, and he was HOLDING for a week on that play … and collinsworth said “He’s a pretty good holder too”
i love it when they accidentally tell the truth …
Does Texas have what it takes to win this game?
somebody is mad about that spot…
wow, they finally nailed that blitz
anybody else noticed that texas’ state song is “I’ve been workin on the railroad” ???
/cheap shot
Ugly game, but that last 6 minutes was pretty good.
bwah hah hah hah… now that was good
All this drama over squeaking one out over Ohio State makes that 45-35 sound like the tell-tale heart…
thump-thump…thump-thump…
Freep, put some yellow mustard on your boys just before the game – the Gators find spicey horse divers appetizing!
RFW has been laying in the weeds with that one.
Hey Randiego, Mack Brown sez teh Longporns are number one, best team in the country! What does the missus have to say?????
And agreed Frrep! Their encore is Camptown Races. Doo Dah!
The missus says Mack Brown is full of burnt orange crap
Man, THE Ohio State University can’t win a bowl game to save their life
