NFL Wildcard Saturday

Wild Card Weekend Saturday


Who you got??  Are you ready for some football!
Both should be my favorite type of game, low scoring and defensive battles.
In the NFC the early game, Arizona goes to Carolina to Bank of America Field.
While the evening is a big rivalry division game, a repeat for the third time this season vs. the two, Baltimore flies into Pittsburgs' Heinz Field.


In the NFC, kick off at 1:20 PST #AZvsCAR
The below 500 NFC South winner (7-8-1) Carolina Panthers host
the (11-5) Arizona Cardinals, the line -6 CAR
Head to head Carolina edges over Arizona at 8-5-0
but in the post only one meeting January 10, 2009 where the
Cardinals won in NC 33-13 .


AFC North showdown for Game two, kick off at 5:15 PST #BALvsPIT
More smash mouth football and the two teams who are depict this description
more than any other in this way.
Historically Pittsburg leads head to head over Baltimore 24-17-0, the
line -3 PIT.  41 meetings between the two, 1st meeting September 8th, 1996 Steelers took it 31-17
along with also winning the 3 post meetings in January (2002, 2009 & 2011)

The last meeting Nov 2, 2014 where Steelers annihilated the Ravens
43 -23.  When I think of this match up I always remember words from A player referencing the rivalry so strong that if a car broke down by the other team, and they saw on side of road they would leave them. AFC North comes in big this year with 3 of the 4 teams going to the post. Number 3 seed Steelers hosting the 6th seed Ravens.   Cinncinati goes into Indy to
tomorrow.

Enjoy, as I will as well as there's only so much football left and the best part starts now!

CHARGERS BUSY INTERVIEWING HC CANDIDATES

RUMORS / NEWS LOOMING IN SAN DIEGO FOR THE HUNT OF A NEW HEAD COACH

It's being reported that the #Chargers are underway with interviews with a host of candidates.

GUS BRADLEY:  Current Seahawks D-coord, was interviewed yesterday.

LOVIE SMITH:  Former HC Chicago Bears in SD today.

KEN WHISENHUNT  Former HC Arizona Cardinals tomorrow.

BRUCE ARIANS expected to meet on Monday.

Also in the mix of words speculations or truths are two coordinators in Cincinnati
Jay Gruden  (Bengals Offensive Coord) and
Mike Zimmer  (Bengals D-Coord)

Along with possibility of Broncos Offensive Coord MIKE MCCOY.

Dean Spanos announced that it would be at least a week, (depending on how some teams fair in the NFL Playoffs),  just after the press to introduce new GM Tom Telesco. http://xeprs.stats.com/fb/story.asp?i=20130109141248571644708&ref=rec&tm=24&src=NFL

It appears their are almost split; defensive and offensive minded coaches being saught out.

I honestly would love to see a Defensive minded coach come in, Jack del Rio ( Broncos D coord, former Trojan) but his name hasn't been mentioned, however lots of talk about someone with strong QB collaboration to give a leg back up to a somewhat damaged Phillip Rivers and to bring him back to fruition.

Who are your top picks?
and why?

Also, reported Norv Turner becomes Browns Offensive Coordinator today.
