1025 Narrow Roads
The playoffs of the 2012 season kicked off in an orderly manner, and every head-to-head matchup every week was a key battle, and the wave of heated discussions was higher and higher, and it was impossible to stop!
Two battles on January 5th!
In the American League, the Houston Texans vs. the Cincinnati Tigers, the two teams met in the Wild Card Game for the second consecutive season, Matt Hub's offensive team performed well, while the defensive team led by J.J. Watt showed peak performance, and finally, in a slightly dull game, "19:13", the Houston Texans defeated their opponents for the second consecutive year and reached the division stage.
Because the Houston Texans are the No. 3 seed, which is a relatively high-ranked seed, which means they will challenge the No. 2 seed New England Patriots in the next round, the battle is already on the rise.
In the fourteenth week of the regular season this year, the Texans had challenged the Patriots on the road, with a score of "14:42", and now the playoffs are going north to Fort Fox, and the defensive team led by Watt will be the key to deciding the outcome of the game.
The National League, the Green Bay Packers faced the Minnesota Vikings, and the sworn enemies in the same district who had just completed the clash in the last week of the regular season, both improved their state to fight, and the game process can be said to be unexpected or reasonable, and the firepower Aaron Rodgers led his teammates to easily usher in a victory with "24:10", stepping on the corpse of the sworn enemy in the same district to advance smoothly.
Similarly, the Green Bay Packers are the No. 3 seed, and their match against the No. 2 seed Atlanta Falcons will undoubtedly be in focus, with the Falcons losing to the New York Giants in the Wild Card Game last year with a humiliating score of 2:24 and failing to meet the Packers in the divisional round.
This season, the two teams have not played each other; Last season, the Green Bay Packers defeated the Atlanta Falcons with a score of "25-14" on the road, but now it is different from the past, the form and strength have changed, and it is not yet known who will die.
Two more battles on January 6th!
American League, Baltimore Ravens vs. Indianapolis Colts.
The biggest focus of this game is that if Andrew Luck can lead the Colts to a victory over their opponents, then they will face Peyton Manning's Denver Broncos. New hatreds and old hatreds are all flocking to it, and just by making up for it, media reporters can't help but rub their hands in anticipation.
However, the Baltimore Ravens defense team gave Lark a shocking educational lesson, "24-9", and defeated the Colts neatly, without even leaving the slightest chance, creating the largest score gap in the wild card game and easily advancing. Lack was suppressed all over the court, and he could hardly find any opportunities, and the long-awaited showdown between the old and the new was still not able to take place after all.
As a result, the Baltimore Ravens will travel to challenge the Denver Broncos, the top seed in the American League. The Ravens vs. the Broncos, it's an offensive and defensive battle. In the fifteenth week of the regular season, the Broncos once easily defeated the Ravens with a score of "34-17" on the road; Now again, whether the Ravens defense can successfully contain Payton Manning will determine the outcome of the game.
Interestingly, both divisional matches in the American League will be offensive and defensive battles, and whether the old rivals of Big Manning and Brady can face each other again on the stage of the American League finals is undoubtedly the outcome that the entire league is waiting for.
National League, Washington Redskins vs. Seattle Seahawks.
It's simply that this is the showdown between Robert Griffin III and Russell Wilson! Although the two rookie quarterbacks have never met in the regular season, judging from the current state, it is Mars hitting the Earth and not giving in to each other.
The Redskins finished the season on a seven-game winning streak, from 3-6 to 10-6 and making it to the playoffs, and now morale is undoubtedly at its highest. The Seahawks went from four wins and three losses to 11 wins and five losses in nine games in the second half of the season.
In addition, there are many similarities between the two teams' playing patterns, which makes it increasingly difficult to predict the outcome of the game. But overall, Griffin, who just completed his second-best rookie season in history, may have a slight advantage.
The harsh reality backfired, the Seahawks' defense dominated the game, and in the face of Griffin's reading option offense, they seemed to have been prepared for a long time, and let Griffin wipe out the whole game with an absolutely strong performance, and finally the Seahawks who were playing away easily defeated their opponents with a score of "24-14".
At the end of all four wildcard games, the Seattle Seahawks were the only team to win in the lower rankings, and naturally, they were the only team to win on the road.
This season, the huge gap between the Seahawks' home and away performances is evident across the league, with four of the five games coming on the road; But after entering the playoffs, the Seahawks have made a name for themselves with excellent performances and are ready to fight hard and hard.
As a result, the final matchup of the division round has also settled: the Seattle Seahawks will challenge the top seeds of the National League, the San Francisco 49ers!
At this point, all the wild card matches have come to an end, and all the regional spots have been confirmed.
January 12th.
Denver Broncos vs. Baltimore Ravens.
Atlanta Falcons vs. Green Bay Packers.
January 13th.
New England Patriots vs. Houston Texans.
San Francisco 49ers vs. Seattle Seahawks.
The second round of the playoffs is about to begin!
The Seahawks' encounter with the 49ers was undoubtedly the most eye-catching of the four divisional games, because it was an unending divisional rival, because the two sides only played a bayonet game in the penultimate week of the regular season, and because all the sparks in the playoffs were bound to be further amplified...... No one wants to miss this game.
Interestingly, in the four divisional games, the three elite quarterbacks of Big Manning, Brady and Rogers each sat in one game, and there was definitely no shortage of discussion and attention, but the hottest, most exciting and most tense game was the one without the participation of the elite quarterbacks.
As a result, Sports Illustrated launched a new topic on social networks, "Lu Ke temporarily replaced the vacant seat of Drew Bliss, completing the puzzle of the four elite quarterbacks, just like Lu Ke temporarily replaced Payton Manning last year." So, does that mean he's the successor to the new elite quarterback? ”
If Harry Waynes hadn't brought it up, people wouldn't have had superfluous associations at all; But now, after a spark is ignited, all sorts of conjectures begin to emerge -
In last year's four divisional games, Briss, Brady and Rogers played together, with the injured Big Manning absent, and the fillers were Lu Ke of the San Francisco 49ers, Bub of the Houston Texans and Flaco of the Baltimore Ravens; Coincidentally, all three quarterbacks made it to the division this year.
It stands to reason that both Bub and Flaco have more "elite" potential in terms of experience and resume, with Bu having a strong rise this season and Fraco having made the playoffs five years in a row since joining the league in 2008, even if they want to compare side-by-side, they are a better fit, but Harry has cleverly shifted all his attention to Luke.
Especially in this season's divisional competition, the saying that "the four elite quarterbacks face four different opponents respectively" is the last corner of the puzzle, which also makes people begin to look forward to the grand occasion of "Big Manning VS Brady" and "Lu Ke VS Rogers" on the stage of the federation finals.
And then...... All the praise and all the spit started to go crazy again.
Obviously, such praise is a bit too exaggerated for a second-year quarterback, and the spat and swearing on social networks is overwhelming; Coupled with an unbeaten regular season run, the San Francisco 49ers are now undoubtedly the league's public enemies.
The killing strategy still works!
The imaginary connection of "Sports Illustrated" can be said to add fuel to the fire, making the focus of attention more and more boiling; But the truth is that even without Harry Waynes' fanning of the flames, the San Francisco 49ers are already the target of the league, and the playoff clash with the Seattle Seahawks is also highly anticipated and hot.
There is no need to mobilize at all, the teams on both sides, the players on both sides and the fans on both sides are all in high spirits, and what could be more wonderful than stepping on the rivals in the same district to advance to the next round? What could be happier than knocking out a sworn rival in the playoffs? Apparently not.
For the San Francisco 49ers, they will be hoping to extend their unbeaten streak against the opponent for two seasons, continue to push them into the abyss of shame, and then march high to reach the National League Finals for the second year in a row.
As for the Seattle Seahawks, they not only hope to break the winless streak, but also hope to reach the National League finals with a counterattack posture, looking forward to returning to the finals stage since 2005 -
In the 2010 Wild Card Game, they went 7-9 in the regular season and faced the New Orleans Saints who were 11-5 in the regular season, and they lost to their opponents with a huge score of "19-34" in the regular season that season, but in that Wild Card Game, they defeated their opponents "41-36". That game is also known as the miracle of the impossible. They did a miracle once, and now they can do it a second time.
There is absolutely no shortage of motivation for both teams to play!
What's more, the difference in strength between the two teams this season is far closer than the record of wins and losses.
In the offensive group, the San Francisco 49ers are third in the league, behind the New England Patriots and Denver Broncos, while the Seattle Seahawks are ninth in the league; In the defensive group, the Seattle Seahawks ranked first in the league and the San Francisco 49ers league second.
From offense to defense, and even special service, both teams are relatively even, which means that the matchup will be very good!
