Unless my research is wrong the Bengals / Texans matchup will be the first time ever Rookie QB's will face each other in a playoff game.
man i dont hate on the giants but i would love to see them lay an egg against the falcons. especially after these last 2 weeks.
no-sf would be the most interesting matchup in the entire postseason I hadn't thought about that. You are probably right. I will try to confirm it tonight if I get time.
He doesn't have much success against anyone. The trick is to be more than one score up on Denver going into the last few minutes. Had we done that we'd be playing this week instead of watching the retards take over our forum with their knee-jerk nonsense. Just like your team, when you roll up 40 points a game you end up giving up a lot of meaningless yards, it's a worthless stat. I'm not big on picking all 1-seeds, but I do think it will be Green Bay-New England this time around. I will say this too, and it will be unpopular here: if by dumb luck it ends up Giants vs New England again, I hope New England plasters the fuck out of them. I'm not sure why, but that's how I feel.
Oh, that could be. The only team I like up there is Baltimore, which could happen. Don't get me wrong, I want the Pats gone too, but if it's them vs the Giants I'm rooting for you guys. Baltimore-Green Bay would work nicely for me, too.
Because I don't want the Patriots to win and having Pittsburgh-Baltimore is far tougher than having Cincinnati-Pittsburgh.
Denver has a legit defense and the Steelers are all banged up on offense and missing a few defensive guys. I know Tebow is smoke and mirrors and not actually very good, but Denver has a decent shot of winning.
their 3 wins in the last month came against Dal & NYj who were playing awful football but I'm not sold on Atlanta. if they were playing Detroit I'd pick Det but hopefully Atl wins. Eli and Coughlin haven't won a playoff game besides the fluky run in 2007 so I guess there's a good shot.
Andy Dalton had to go to the Hospital for flu like symptoms. It'll be interesting to see how well he's able to play having missed practice and needing time to recover.
The only road team I see winning is the Falcons. I think the Broncos may keep it close if Big Ben is really limited with hs mobility but their O is so limited that the Steelers D should shut them down - Steelers 13 Broncos 6 I feel NO is the best team in the NFC (possibly the NFL) and will be the NFC rep in the Superbowl- This game nowhere near close - Saints 41 Lions 17 I feel bad for the Texans because before the inuries they looked like a team that could be real dangerous. I think their D is good enough for this one and possibly the edge being home field as I expect the crowd to be nuts for thier first ever payoff game. Texans 24 Bengal 20 Regardless of home field I think the Falcons are just a much better team than the G men. They will run the ball well and after a couple trips to the playoffs Matt Ryan and co. finally get a win. Falcons 27 Giants 13.
Texans over Bengals 19-13 Steelers over Broncos 24-10 Saints over Lions 38-24 Giants over Falcons 24-17
Im cheering for the Texans-Steelers-Falcons-Saints I want the Texans to win, to force Pittsburgh to New England. Then hopefully the Saints, which would force the Giants to Green Bay.
In order of preference to win the SB: San Francisco Detroit New Orleans Cincinnati Houston Denver Atlanta Baltimore Giants Green Bay Pittsburgh New England
