[quote name='Azumangaman']Would anybody else LOVE to see a third matchup between Pittsburgh and Baltimore? This time in the AFC Championship?
These HAVE to be the 2 scariest teams in the playoffs.
Two best defenses in the leage = laugh at others.[/QUOTE]

I actually would love to see the Colts in there. 2-3 at the start of the season and than to go 11-4 and clinch a WC spot. With Freeney and Mathis being magnetic to QBs...i think the Colts have a great shot at the AFC Championship and even the Super Bowl.

Flacco making it that far, would be a great story though.
 
Well my 5-8 Fantasy team somehow made it to the Superbowl. I'm trying to decide on who to start at QB tomorrow but my choices aren't that great. I've got Tyler Thigpen or Big Ben. Tyler hasn't had a really huge scoring game but he's been pretty consistent scoring around 20 per game. Ben is all over the place but most weeks he seems to go 15 or less.

It's going to be windy here with a windchill below zero so that scares me as to how effective Thigpen will be. I have one other option, Favre, against a crappy Seattle D but week after week he seems to do shitty no matter the opponent.

EDIT. Nevermind, it looks like the weather is going to be shitty for that game too.
 
Thank God I went with Thigpen over Big Ben. He's a fumbling fool today! I'm regretting leaving Breaston in though. I didn't realize how bad the weather was for that game. I saw Boldin was out so I thought it meant good things for my guy.
 
Were fucked. We are not winning in Lambeau next week so this is our last shot. New Orleans is 1-6 on the road so with a couple breaks we can get the victory.
 
That sucked Jamaal Charles was going to take that ball to the house but the Dolphins trip him up at the 3 yard line leading to a Larry Johnson TD. Dammit Fins you robbed my QB of a TD!

EDIT: fucking Saints! They've been on the goal line all day but they've given the TD's to everyone except Pierre Thomas!!!!
 
[quote name='smiggity']Pierre Thomas got one.

Its official. We are going 0-16[/quote]

So which WR do you think the Lions will take with the #1 overall pick? :lol:

EDIT: HOLY CRAP! If I win the Superbowl Thigpen may be my MVP!!! Two passing TDs and a Rushing TD in the first half!
 
[quote name='lordwow']I'm just sitting here laughing every time ARI tries a play.[/QUOTE]
I haven't stopped laughing, some of their guys had never even seen snow before today.

It'll be fun in the 4th quarter once the field freezes over.

Damn that bastard Belicock, he's running up the score just like last year! :lol:


I kid, I kid. I'm not much of a Pats fan and I'm certainly not a Belicheck fan but I know it's Arizona's fault since they're crapping all over themselves...

Michael Crabtree with the #1 Pick!!!! Haha no I expect them to drop back (if possible) and grab Ray Malaluga from USC. Hell they may just bite the bullet and grab him @ #1

Well the three games that Detroit had the best chance of winning were the two Vikes games (and believe me I was REALLY pulling for you) and the Bears game in Chicago. I thought you were gonna beat the Bears since we had to bring Grossman in but Forte saved the day that week.

Speaking of Grossman, are you guys looking for a QB because boy have we got a deal for you... ;):lol:
 
49ers down 16-3 with 8 minutes left in the 4th......win 17-16.....it is against the Rams....but Singletary is 4-3 (excluding the Seahawks game where he had no time to prepare).....Singletary doesn't have the fundamentals of a coach....but he has something...
 
Seriously AP learn to hang onto the fucking ball! I've got a real dilemma today, as a Bears fan I need the Vikes to lose but my Superbowl FF team needs points from AP...

Also J.T. is not the starter any more. Therefore they have a decent record since Hill has been in.
 
[quote name='FriskyTanuki']I hope the Browns just forfeit their next game instead of doing nothing again.[/quote]

Well, at least they went to Gradkowski. I'm not saying that's a major factor, but with Dorsey, defense is easy. Stack 9 in the box, blitz every pass play, and jump everything short. Dude's arm might be worse than Danny Wuerffel.
 
Gheez so the Cowboys just gotta win next week and they are in. Skins beating the Eagles at the half, hmmm...
 
Eagles ruined a great chance to help keep the Cowboys out of the playoffs.

edit: actually I don't think it would have mattered if they won this game but they must win next week.
 
Giants look like they fell off the face of the Earth. I think Panthers are on their way back to the superbowl, unless the Cardinals shape up and surprise them!
 
[quote name='DT778']Cardinals aren't even going to make it out of the wild card round.[/quote]


Well you never know. How many people said the Giants would get pounded by Tampa Bay last year?
 
Man the two teams I like have both been gashed by the run. Dallas got fucked up last night, and the Panthers are fucking themselves over tonight.

I am kind of glad that the Panthers lost tonight. It leaves the door open for a Dallas/ NY divisional round game.
 
[quote name='javeryh']G-I-A-N-T-S!!!!

Great game. Panthers are good - Williams is awesome.[/quote]

fucking DeAngelo Williams! I had a huge lead in my Superbowl game until he went off for 4 frickin' TDs!!! Now My lead is down to 19 and my opponent still has Rodgers to go tonight:bomb:
 
The Giants should have deliberately lost that game.. they don't play anywhere as good home as away.. their stadium is shit also... also I feel bad for Jets fans, they get shit on more than anything.
 
[quote name='GuilewasNK']LOL! They played "Oh No You Didn't!" when the Skins stopped the Eagles just now. Sweet![/QUOTE]

I was there and that was a sweet, sweet moment.

A loss wouldn't have been the worst thing in the world but I think they needed the win just to prove they could do it without Plax. The win also means that there is a potential playoff match-up coming with the Cowboys which is the only team in the NFC that would worry me. I mean, they could get beat by anyone but the Cowboys will be playing without fear (since they play in Giants Stadium every year) and for revenge for last season. Plus, they are good when everything is clicking. For some reason, the Falcons, Vikings and Cardinals (and Tampa should they get in) don't exactly scare me like the Cowboys and Panthers do.

Also, Andy Reid is unbelievable. I bet he wishes they had 10 extra seconds at the end to run another play. It's like he plans out the time at the end of the game so he can win it at exactly the last second. I know you don't want to leave too much time on the clock for your opponent but why not score and then let your defense play for the last minute? I couldn't believe what I was watching and it's almost fitting that they got stopped at the 1 as time expired. I'm surprised he didn't try and throw the red flag.
 
The Giants without Plax are the Tennessee Titans.. Andy Reid has always had clock management problems... and for god sakes get McNabb a receiver, a quality receiver and they'd be in the playoffs this year.
