I'm a Seahawks fan. I hope they win. Having said that, they're probably going to get slaughtered.

At least it's hockey season so I'll have something to watch afterward.

Saints are starting to look like the Packers in Terms of RB's though. Bush and Ivory (a big blow) now on IR? Not good. The question is can they overcome with just a stellar passing game? Against the Hawks? Heck yes they can!

And really, Sparky? The Iggles?! You disappoint me.

The Packers are the #6 seed. No home games, regardless. If I were a Packers fan, I'd rather see them face the Bears, whom they beat last game, rather than travel halfway across the country to play a team on a win streak with a hostile fan base.
Title: Re: NFL Playoffs Thread!!!
Post by: Revolution on January 10, 2011, 05:54:52 PM
Tue, but the Bears will have bad blood. I absolutely hate playing a team (especially a rival) with bad blood. They have something to prove, and I don't want to face a team that's THAT hungry.
Title: Re: NFL Playoffs Thread!!!
Post by: Red October on January 10, 2011, 07:00:08 PM
Divisional rivals are always brutal games, regardless of their respective records.  It's more likely that Seattle caught lightning in a bottle then they'll really have what it takes to win the conference.  The Pack should crush the Seahawks.
Title: Re: NFL Playoffs Thread!!!
Post by: Odin's Hand on January 11, 2011, 07:46:31 AM
Personally, I'd rather face a Bears team with a headcase QB and an offensive coordinator who is predictable on his play-calling for down and distance and not a team that has won 3 straight big games including one at New Soldier Field, is coming home to a rowdy home crowd and is an outpost of a city. But, that's just me. Any game in the playoffs will be a deathmatch no matter whether a divisional rival or what.

It's a moot point anyway, because the Bears cruise with the defense starting to stride.  :-)

Good job, Baltimore.  Imagine what could have been if you had done something amazing like manufacture a drive in the 3rd quarter.   :clap: :clap: :clap:  Turnover after turnover, a dropped TD, a dropped 1st down with 1:00 to play... just a spectacular job at clutch sucking.  I see McNabb has passed the torch.

I don't think you have anything to worry about in the AFC.  The Jets and the Steelers live in New England's cargo pocket.  THEY are the ones who need to beat the man to be the man.

Brady better come out and say he was sick last night, but he just sucked on a large scale.    We have no pass rushing, Brady needs more protection (still no excuse why he couldn't find his receivers), blah blah blah.   Even if they won, and kicked some Steelers' ass they would have probably lost to the Packers in the SB, which is far worse than getting picked off in the playoffs.

The Jets really sucked last night also, however the Pats sucked more.   The Steelers are going to the SB.  How the hell did that happen?

I'm reading the New York Post article on "10 QUESTIONS Jets must answer to win AFC title" right now.  They are:

1)  How did the Jets beat the Steelers four weeks ago, and what kind of factor will that be in this game?

2)  How big of an advantage is home field for the Steelers?

3)  How will Santonio Holmes be received by Pittsburgh, and could he be the difference?

4)  How much does Troy Polamalu change the Steelers' defense?

5)  What's the injury story?

6)  Beyond Big Ben, which Steeler is most likely to break Jets' hearts?

7)  What's the deal with the Jets' special teams?

8)  Which Steeler is going to be locked down by Darrelle Revis?

9)  Can the Jets run on the Steelers?

10)  Can Mark Sanchez beat another superstar QB?
