PP319's going to be even more pissed when he reads this. Apparently Kansas City should've gotten a second chance at the game winning field goal at the end of regulation because San Diego was in an illegal formation:

Hate to add full to the fire, but  some of my followers have pointed out that SD was in an illegal defensive formation on the missed FG

EDIT: AND Kansas City's apparent game winning fumble return TD in OT should've counted:

Mike Pereira @MikePereira
Replay did not stop the game because the ruling of forward progress is not reviewable. Should have been a strip and TD in my opinion.

Meh, I've already gotten over it. Chargers lost to the Raiders and so did we. Besides, no one is beating the Bengals at home. Since the AFC is already set, I'll make picks for them.

Chargers at Bengals (Bengals are tough to beat at home. I don't see the Chargers winning this despite Cincy's struggles in the playoffs.)
Chiefs at Colts (Indy owned KC last week. I'd be surprised if they don't beat them again.)
49ers at Packers (sorry GM1, but the 49ers look really good. They got it all. Packers are just lucky to be here.)

In other news, the Browns fired their head coach Chud after only one year. I swear, the people running the Browns are so dumb.

[The Red Jaguars]

The playoff picture for the Wild Card Round includes:

San Diego Chargers @ Cincinnati Bengals
Kansas City Chief @ Indianapolis Colts

San Francisco 49ers @ Green Bay Packers
New Orleans Saints @ Philadelphia Eagles

[The Red Jaguars]

This is who I see winning:

- Bengals (They are a more talented team and have a well rounded offense and defense. Plus, they are very good at home like PP319 mentioned.)
- Colts (For the same reason as PP319. The Colts already beat them at KC, and I won't doubt that they will beat them in Indy)
- 49ers (The 49ers already beat the Packers in Green Bay. Their #2 defense will give a not 100% healthy Rodgers some problems.)
- Saints (It will be a close scoring game, but I think the Saints are more dangerous and better than any NFC East team.)

[PurpleParrot319]

Adding onto my picks:

Saints at Eagles (Saints can't win road playoff games. If it was the Cowboys, then maybe I'd pick them. Eagles still look really good.)

Browns, Vikings, Redskins, Buccaneers, & Lions all fire their coaches!

[The Red Jaguars]

No surprise to see Vikings and Redskins fire their coaches. Those two were playoff teams last season, but they just flat out sucked this season. Shanahan was long overdue to having his ass leave.

Good for the Lions getting rid of Jim Schwartz too. They really should've won their division this year, and they still failed pretty bad. He should've been gone last season.

The Bucs were suppose to be a surprise team this year, but Schiano blew it for them too. They are probably the most underachieving team though on that list because they played a lot of close games.

And no comment on the Browns. They had a new coach for one year and still managed to finish with the same amount of wins as last year.

[The Red Jaguars]

It looks like the Bears signed Jay Cutler to an extension through 2020:

Why would you do that, Chicago? The guy can't even stay healthy and they will not even be successful behind him. He is probably going to end up getting paid more than Flacco! Big mistae right here.

[PurpleParrot319]

Looks like the Bears will remain irrelevant for the next seven years.

Until then, that division is yours GM1.

Yeah, there is no way that the Packers won't dominate that division now. Vikings have a QB and HC problem, the Bears are stuck with Jay Cutler forever, and the Lions suck.

Wild Card Picks

Chargers vs Bengals (X) (Bengals are too good at home and the Chargers scraped by)
Saints vs Eagles (X) (Saints have never won a road playoff game! )
49ers vs Packers (X) (homer pick, will be attending!!! )
Chiefs vs Colts (X) (Colts already won at Kansas City, Indy might be a surprise team)


So all the home teams will win!

Supposed to be -20 in Green Bay for Kickoff! Guess who is still going?

Have fun GM1!

You know, I'm thinking about changing my pick to the Packers because of the cold element. The Packers have that experience, the 49ers don't. Not sure how the young Kaepernick will handle it.

You know what? I'll go ahead and change my pick to the Packers. They know how to handle the cold, plus Rodgers is back. He's a proven winner in extremely cold weather. Now I'm ready for the 49ers to make me look like an idiot.
