Who do you think will win and who do you want to win.
Think:Patriots
Want:Jets
-
Think: Patriots
Want: Tim Tebow led Broncos ;)
-
Patriots/Falcons
Don't care who wins, just want a fun game to watch and plenty of good commercials.
-
I'd like for the Seahawks to win it - Can you imagine the uproar? :)
But I think it will probably be the Patriots.
-
i'm watching the seahawks game right now and it is a good game.
-
Eagles ftw.
-
I'm at work, so I'm just following the Gametrax, but besides the one Hassleback interception early, the Seahawks Offence seems to be really clicking.
-
Saints defense is looking like a joke. They let Stokely run straight through 4 players on the deep run and just didn't cover him.
-
Eagles ftw.
I wouldn't be suprised but I wouldn't be suprised if they didn't either.Saints defense is looking like a joke. They let Stokely run straight through 4 players on the deep run and just didn't cover him.
Thing is saints arn't doin terrible on offense so they have chance.
-
I'd like to see the packers win it

That would be pretty cool especially with favre stinking it up this year.
-
Rodgers & Hawk + all the other great players... I think they actually have a chance of making it
-
Most certainly the Bills.
-
Well sorry to the saints fans.
-
I was hopeful for drew brees, but seahawks walked all over them
-
Marshawn Lynch's run was incredible. If the Seahawks can keep the offense going like they did today they have a shot against anybody.
-
Marshawn Lynch's run is probably the single greatest play running play I've ever seen. Unbelievable...
EDIT: For anyone who didn't see it.... Marshawn Lynch Awesome Touchdown Run vs Saints- Playoffs (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3GD5EUVIvWo#ws)
-
Yeah it was a pretty awesome playI definitely want the Eagles to win but they probs won't beat the Packers tomorrow so yeah.
-

Well, I take today with a grain of salt - The Saints were absolutely horrific on D - Lynch ran through about 6 arm tackles.....

Any team is susceptible to this problem at any time. There are two main reasons why this happens so much at both the NFL and college level:
1. Coaches teach players to try to strip the ball.
2. Players are trying to make the big hit, rather than make the sure tackle. They want to be on highlight reels.

That's what I was going to say..

Actually it was 8 they counted and it was pretty horrific defense.
-
Yeah - I saw the ESPN replay's of it. It may have been 8 defenders - But there was no way Porter at the goal line was going to stop him from going in, and the D tackle that Hassleback blocked barely got his foot, so 6, 7, 8, It doesn't really matter, it still shouldn't have been more than a 5 yard gain :)
-
I am for them falcons oh yeah lol
-
J-E-T-S Jets Jets Jets :)
-
Da Bears
-
Want: Vikings
Expect: Vikings
Dark Horse: Packers
-
I'm sticking with the Packers FTW, although today was a little close
-
My picks:
Ravens vs. Steelers
Jets vs. Patriots
Packers vs. Falcons
Seahawks vs. Bears
Ravens vs. Patriots
Falcons vs. Seahawks
Falcons vs. Patriots
Falcons!!!!!!!!
-
Sorry jets Fans but I hate the Jets, I love the Colts and While I desperately hate the Patriots too, I hope they crush the Jets.
This year it will be Green Bay and the Ravens in the SuperBowl
at least that is who I would want in the superbowl.
-
Well I guess now that the Eagles took their downfall in the last seconds of the game I heard, I'm voting for the Patriots or Steelers in the Superbowl and then the Patriots will win.
-
since both the pats and the steelers are from the AFC, that would be an impossible game.
although given the performance of some of the NFC teams, maybe an all AFC Superbowl is not a bad idea?
-
I don't see any team in the AFC beating out the Patriots. My picks for the rest of the playoffs (going by my brain, and not my heart, which would never have the Pack in the SB):
Div:
Steelers over Ravens
Pats over Jets
Pack over Falcons
Bears over Seahawks
Conf:
Pats over Steelers
Pack over Bears
SB:
Pats over Pack (which, interestingly, would be a rematch of the first Superbowl I vividly remember watching...mostly because I was a Viking fan living in Wisconsin at the time).
Of course, if I had my way, the lineup would be different:
Div:
Steelers over Ravens
Jets over Pats
Pack over Falcons
Seahawks over Bears
Conf:
Steelers over Jets
Seahawks over Pack
SB:
Seahawks over Steelers
-I picked the Seahawks because there's no better way for a team to prove they deserved a playoff spot than winning the Super Bowl. Also, watching both the Bears and Packers get beaten by a 7-9 team would be priceless. I do like the Steelers though, mostly because Tomlin is the coach the Vikings should have had all along.
-
What I'd want:
Ravens over Steelers
Pats over Jets
Falcons over Packs
Bears over Seahawks
Ravens over Pats
Bears over Falcons
Ravens over Bears
Of course, all of my teams have lost so far (Colts, Saints, and Eagles, I don't know who the other game had, so...)
-
I think that The Pats could fall victim to either the steelers or the Ravens. Indy almost beat the Pats, the beat the pats once, The Patriots are not as good as their 14-2 record.
ANd I agreee, I think Green Bay will be in the Superbowl. THey looked really good last night

I'm hoping the Falcons win it all, but would not count the Pats out by any means. They probably have the best offense in the league right now and their young defense has matured alot over the year. Greenbay can be great, but a good defense can really hurt them as they have no running game. Hard to be one dimensional in the NFL and get away with it.

James Starks and his 123 yards from yesterday say 'Hi'

Starks is a beast.
I'm tired of Mike McCarthy going on and on about how "he doesn't practice well"
While the running game yesterday was fine, I do agree with adotson85 that packers generally don't have a great running game, but I also think it was largely impart to the fact that McCarthy hasn't played Starks enough, and played Jackson too much

The word "consistent" says "Hi." ;)

QUOTE FROM CBS:
Starks sparks win: Green Bay RB James Starks rushed for a game-high 123 yards on 23 carries to help the Packers to a 21-16 victory over Philadelphia in an NFC Wild Card matchup on Sunday. Starks' sterling output represented the most rushing yards in the postseason by a rookie in franchise history, breaking Travis Williams' record (88 yards) against the L.A. Rams in 1967. Starks added two receptions for nine yards to finish with two receptions for the second game in a row. "He had the hot hand, and I rode it,'' head coach Mike McCarthy said.

-
Starks, Driver, Rodgers, and the rest of the packers team seem to have the same dream team magic that the Rams had in Superbowl 34.... You never know what can happen :) I just hope they don't fall apart after the superbowl like the Rams :P
-
Well I guess now that the Eagles took their downfall in the last seconds of the game I heard, I'm voting for the Patriots or Steelers in the Superbowl but the Patriots most likely get there and will win.
Fixed
-
I really don't see how that fix was necessary...
Well Saints and Colts both got beat. That was awesome. ;D

As long as the New York Nicks are in the World Series, it will be a good day for Hockey.
-
The way things are going right now I wouldn't be suprised if the packers go all the way they seem to be on a role. Also by's for the first round are not always a good thing because you can lose momentum easily so some of the teams that had by's are probably going to lose.

How did Hakeem get dragged into this? :P

packers (my team) 31 pitsburg 24

I couldn't say this before, but I think I can now: Go Packers!!!!
Their game with the Bears for the Super Bowl spot is like epic rivalry at its best.

Ummmm no. You just saw the most epic rivalry. Ravens/Steelers
And I hope the steelers lose to the jets. I want the steelers to lose epically.
-
Agreed. Jets/Packers would be a great game. But Packers will win, of course. :D
And I'm gonna have to agree that Packers/Bears is a more intense rivalry. That thing has been going on since football started, practically. :)

Oddly enough, I recently learned that this will be the 182nd meeting between the two teams, and only the SECOND playoff meeting. Either way, as a Viking fan, it's not exactly the NFC North Championship I was hoping for, but it is the one I expected after the Seahawks beat the Saints.
