2012 NFL Playoffs: Wild Card Round Open Thread

The 2012 NFL Playoffs get underway today with the Houston Texans hosting their first ever playoff game against the Cincinnati Bengals at 1:30pm PT. The NFL scheduled the first weekend as expected with the bigger name matchup going down in the afternoon each day. Later this afternoon, the New Orleans Saints host the Detroit Lions in a game that most people view as an expected Saints romp.

Even Coach Harbaugh has admitted the 49ers have spent more of their time preparing for the Saints than anybody else. The 49ers have already faced the Giants, which leaves needed prep time for a possible Falcons matchup. However, with the Saints sitting as heavy favorites against the Lions, that is the expected matchup, even if it rubs Dominic Raiola the wrong way.

For this first game, it will be interesting to see how the two rookie quarterbacks pan out. Andy Dalton has put together a fantastic rookie season, but the playoffs are a different beast altogether. He faces a very strong Houston Texans defense that will provide a stiff test. For the Texans, it will come down to what Arian Foster can do for them and if T.J. Yates can avoid mistakes. If Yates can avoid turnovers and Arian Foster and the defense can handle their business, the Texans can pull out their first playoff victory.

Yeah, he really improved over the years,

but at least he is still on NBA TV. I think the Shaq thing will be over by the end of this season. His antics will get old pretty fast.

Or they should team Shaq up with Craig Sager and do sideline reporting.

About no NFL network crew 49ers....

I have a friend who does quite a bit of betting…he said if you had to compare NFC Q.B.s Rogers-Brees-Manning-Ryan to Smith….. the other teams have a machine gun while the 9ers have a pop gun.

Kinda pissed me off.

by BigMar on Jan 7, 2012 1:35 PM PST reply actions  

I think what he was trying to say was....

the other Q.B’s throw a lot, and more often than not deep while the 49ers throw very little and more often than not dink & donk.

Its true….but my friend could have said in better choice of words and….it still pissed me off.

I believe Foster is benefiting from a great O Line.

Texans didn’t miss him when he was out since Tate was putting up 100 yrd games as well. His burst is underwhelming and while he does have great vision, I don’t think he gets anywhere near the same production behind our line.

No you don't.

The new team an RFA signs with doesn’t give up any picks to his old team. The players’ previous team receives comp picks. The highest comp pick a team can receive is a 3rd rounder.

by mikeinsp on Jan 7, 2012 3:00 PM PST up reply actions  

Restricted Free Agent

An RFA can negotiate with any team. If he accepts an offer from a new team his old team(in Foster’s case the Texans) decide either to match it or let him walk. If they let him walk they receive comp picks.

by mikeinsp on Jan 7, 2012 2:59 PM PST up reply actions  

How are the draft picks decided?

Is it already written into the contract or is it based on performance?

Affectionately,
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar,
NBA’s All-Time Leading Scorer

by afrikabamboodle on Jan 7, 2012 3:00 PM PST up reply actions  

Comp picks:
the placement of the picks is determined by a proprietary formula based on the player’s salary, playing time, and postseason honors with his new team, with salary being the primary factor.

by mikeinsp on Jan 7, 2012 3:03 PM PST up reply actions  

What about this little piece than?
If a club tenders an offer of $1.552 million or 110% (whichever is greater) of the previous year’s salary, then the current club has both “right of first refusal”; and rights to the first round draft pick from the signing club.

So the 1st round pick is a fairly common price for signing a player who has severely outperformed his current contract right?

Affectionately,
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar,
NBA’s All-Time Leading Scorer

by afrikabamboodle on Jan 7, 2012 3:07 PM PST up reply actions  

That's tendering.

That’s not the same thing as comp picks.

by mikeinsp on Jan 7, 2012 3:09 PM PST up reply actions  

But it's about signing a RFA.

If a club tenders an offer for a RFA, and the original club does not match, doesn’t that mean the RFA goes to the new team and if the tender was over $1.552 million than the original team gets a 1st rounder correct?

Affectionately,
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar,
NBA’s All-Time Leading Scorer

by afrikabamboodle on Jan 7, 2012 3:12 PM PST up reply actions  

Only the original club can tender an RFA.

They decide what round they want to tender him with. If another team decides to sign said player, they have to give up a pick in that round. An original round tender(not sure of the exact name) means the tender of the player is what round they were originally drafted in.

So if a team(Texans for example) places a 1st-round tender on a player(Foster), and another team(49ers) offers him a contract and the Texans declines to match it, then the 49ers give up a 1st-round pick to Houston.

I’m pretty sure about this.

by mikeinsp on Jan 7, 2012 3:23 PM PST up reply actions  

That's only if the original club tenders him.

If they don’t then the new team doesn’t give up any picks.

If only Aldon could make those catches...

I remember a pass hitting him between the numbers. I think Stafford threw it.

The Texans have a good defense and running game, but they are not honey badgers. They are just the Broncos with a less visible name under center.

All Smiths are

It’s a characteristic of the species.

Which Smith did you mean?

Incidentally, I am in favor of us drafting the BPA this Spring, but in case of a tie, any player whose last name is “Smith” should be given priority.

Jacquies Smith, who plays for Mizzou, is a DE; I’m pretty sure being a Smith from Mizzou automatically puts one on the short list for the HofF, so we should nab him around the 3rd round or so.

You're the man to ask about these things...

What was your impression of Dalton coming out of TCU?

I figured we would either draft him or CK7 when the second round came up, but didn’t know a lot about either of them at the time…

did they constantly have those guys covered?

Or did Dalton not get them the ball? It’s hard to know which it is so long as TV networks refuse to show us the vertical view except for infrequent replays.

by salary_cap on Jan 7, 2012 4:32 PM PST up reply actions  

Houston has a above average Defense and showed it tonight.

We need a big defensive game like this next weekend. We need a defensive TD. I think there was a blog on here talking about that also. I think it could happen. Since didnt get but I think one defensive td during the season, we may step it up even more next saturday!!

by Johnveeskys on Jan 7, 2012 4:33 PM PST up reply actions  

People are going to look at the stats and see 0 TD 3 INT

But he’s not been too bad. Two of those picks weren’t his fault.

Look, the KoolAid is flowing freely and the analysts are partaking

They believe their own hype. Yeah, Brees has great numbers, but the 49ers are balanced team that find ways to win. They’re not shiny and sparkly and flashy, though, so they don’t get the credit they deserve.

by TortureOpp on Jan 7, 2012 4:33 PM PST up reply actions  

Here is what I just dont get.....

Everyone is saying that the 49ers cant keep up with the offense of pack and saints. Its annoying. Everyone has just disregarded the other phases of the football game. Defense and Special teams. Coincedently its also the phases of the game we DOMINATE. I think the question should and will prove to be : Can they score on the Niners D? We dont give up a lot of TD’s. Saints dont play well on grass, they are a turf team. Not to mention they only average 24 pts on the road. But lets ignore that and talk about their offense. I DONT GET IT!!!

by Johnveeskys on Jan 7, 2012 4:39 PM PST up reply actions  

Aren't most observers of NFL football

saying this too? I don’t view it as being “dismissive” of the 49ers, rather just a pretty reasonable expectation considering what these teams have demonstrated over 16 games. Most will acknolwedge that the Niners are a formidable foe and no slouch.

by salary_cap on Jan 7, 2012 4:34 PM PST up reply actions  

Does anyone else want New Orleans to win tonight?

I know N.O. is the tougher team between them, and the Giants/Falcons, but if we can’t beat the best teams around, we don’t deserve to make it to the superbowl.

So I feel like we might as well get on that trial next week. You know?

If we beat the Lions, Falcons, and Broncos, then so be it. That said, I hate the Lions, and I think the only chance we have of not playing the Packers is if the Giants beat them, so yes.
