[quote name='WeaponX2099']The bears (on Offense) looked solid today. They seem worthy enough to be second in the NFC. They may be able to take down the Seahawks. Indy, maybe not. But Seattle, sure.[/QUOTE]

haha solid my rear , they tore up the packers D, big f'n deal. The Ravens ripped em apart for goodness sake, its not like its anything special.

Grossman can make some throws, but he underthrows a ton of balls deep.

jeez he was injured most of the season... give the guy a break... I betcha if he played the whole season he wouldn't have underthrown them that much
 
Hey if somebody could do me a favor I'd be very thankful. I was wondering if anyone that has a subscription to SI could go online and copy and paste the tom brady sportsman of the year story. I can not find the issue on news stands anywhere now and I got about halfway through the story at an oil change place.
 
[quote name='Technique']Another win for the Seahawks tonight. Anyone else watch the game?[/QUOTE]

I caught it. The Colts had good drives during the first 2 series that Manning was in the game, but the Seahawks defense did a good job at keeping him out of the end zone. It reminded me of the Colts defense, bending at times, but not breaking.

The Colts rested 6 starters on defense (and played Freeney sparingly), so I'm interested in seeing how the Colts' Defense stacks up against the Seattle offense at full strength (if they meet again). Alexander looked very good, and I also noticed that the receivers don't drop balls this year like they did last year.

This was my first chance this season to watch the Seahawks, and they looked good. I'll be interested to see how they play in the playoffs, and how they match up against the Bears.
 
Next week my 49ers face the Texans who just, it's a disgrace. This team has to be throwing games, no way you lose with 1:14 left to a Ivy League QB, shank a field goal that is still being searched for and blow a 27-10 lead against a pitiful offense of the Jags. You want Reggie Bush Texans? You have fun watching this kid get killed by that o-line.

Love Mike Nolan, Mike Singletary also. Mike Singletary is becoming a big canditate for coaching jobs this summer, hopefully he doesn't leave. Alex Smith has shown glimpses of promise, hopefully we can get his some WR help. With a win against the Texans will probably get maybe the #5 pick due to S.o.S. Hopefully we trade draft A.J. Hawk or trade down for DeAngelo Williams or Maroney or our 3rd option is trade way down for a couple more picks and get Marcedes Lewis (TE from UCLA).

Any word on Sinorice Moss, if he's declaring? Same with Jarrett.

It'll take a lot of re-tooling to get the 49ers to be a contending team again. As for the Texans wanting Bush, it's just like you said their O-Line blows and no RB can run with a sorry O-Line unless they bring Barry Sanders out of retirment. Also, Dominick(sp?) Davis is a good RB so I'm not sure if they should get Bush. I'd trade the 1st pick away and try to score 2 high first round picks.
 
I really hope my 49ers draft D'Brickshaw Ferguson outta Virginia. Our defense played very well this season with basically playing with practice squaders. About 2-3 years away from being a contender again.
 
[quote name='Quillion']Great column on the Seahawks.

Best team in the NFL?[/QUOTE]

The Seahawks are the best team in the NFC right now. But the AFC has too many good teams for me to put the Seahawks at the top of the NFL.

On a side note, everyone seems to forget that the Colts went 0-5 during the pre-season, when the games meant nothing. "What's wrong with the Colts", analysts asked? Then they came out and started the season 13-0 when the games did mean something. Suddenly analysts were fighting to get on the bandwagon. Now they've lost a couple of games when the games once again meant nothing, and again I hear, "What's wrong with the Colts". I'm not too worried about them being up for a playoff run at the Dome.
 
It's nice to see that there's still some controversey to be had for a 5-10 team. :roll: Some idiot spread rumors that the Cleveland GM was on the way in less than one year! And that the Falcons president was to get the replacement spot even though it's impossible to be able to talk to guys still working for other teams during the season. I'm glad the team is shooting down these stupid rumors, though Chris Mortensen of ESPN was still hawking the rumors as truth earlier tonight. And people say there's nothing to talk about when it comes to the Browns.

thats awful for a rumor. For all intense purposes, i think the browns had a good year. I didnt expect them to win 5 or 6 games this year, but im seeing the start of a really good defense in the future once they get the rite players in. The defense appears to be good at taking away a facit of the opposing teams offense occasionally, and thanks to romeo crennel, i expect them to contend in two-three years.

I agree. The defense has been the one semi-bright spot that we've had for the past few years, as we're pretty much a few good, healthy players away from a good, solid defense. It's always health that is our biggest weakness as a franchise. Getting rid of the whole D-line was a good move to help get this team going in the right direction and start off fresh. We should be able to rebound from the embarrassing defeat by Pittsburgh to knock down the Ravens and finish the season on a good note.
 
14-2 damn they look good. Pats loose again today looks like only thing between the colts and superbowl is a few short weeks.
 
The game to watch is now the Philly/Washington game as Dallas needs a loss for Washington along with a win themselves to get into the playoffs.

The AFC playoff picture is finalized with the win by Pittsburgh.

Here's the playoffs as they look right now:

AFC Wildcard Round

New England
vs.
Jacksonville

Pittsburgh
vs.
Cincinatti
If Cincy wins, they play Denver. If Pitt wins, they play Indy.


NFC Wildcard Round

Tampa Bay
vs.
Washington/Dallas
If Tampa wins, they play Chicago. If Washington/Dallas wins, they play Seattle.

Carolina
vs.
New York Giants

So what are your predictions for the Wildcard round or even the rest of the playoffs?

If Houston wins the Reggie Bowl, there would be a 5-way tie for the #1 pick and a team like New Orleans could end up with the top spot.
 
I guarantee a 49ers win. Their will be no tie. The Texans will get the #1 pick, Saints #2, and the 49ers #3 due to Strength of Schedule.
 
[quote name='evilmojo12542']14-2 damn they look good. Pats loose again today looks like only thing between the colts and superbowl is a few short weeks.[/QUOTE]


You gotta consider that the Pats rested most of their real players, especially with Brady only taking 8 passing attempts. Don't count the Pats completely out to play the spoiler come playoff time.

I wouldn't look to much into the pats losing today. They only played their starter's for a few possesions while the dolphins played their starters the whole game.

[quote name='jmcc']What the crap happened to Seattle?![/QUOTE]

I think the entire purpose of Seattle even showing up for the game was to get Alexander the rushing title.
 
With regard to the Seattle versus Indy fracas on this thread, I'd mention a stat I heard a week or so ago that gave me pause.

Since going to the current seeding format, the two number 1 seed teams have only met five times in the Super Bowl. History is not in favor of a Seattle-Indy Super Bowl.

So which team is more likely to fall? Indy, who seemed unstoppable until the San Diego game, and who still have to be called the odds-on favorite to be wearing rings come February? Or Seattle, who paved an eleven-win-streak with such barnburning opponents as St. Louis (twice), San Francisco (twice), and Tennessee?

Full disclosure: I'm a dyed-in-the-wool Bears fan, so I recognize that wishful thinking is probably painting my opinion here. But Seattle fans, you cannot deny that Seattle is more likely to fall in the playoffs than is Indy, at least when it comes to being just outplayed (not due to silly penalties, injuries to key players, or one hot-dog play turning the game). I can't help but think that the team that learns how to neutralize and contain Shaun Alexander beats the Seahawks, even in Seattle.

And I'm all for the Bears' first-ranked defense to do that, and believe it possible.

Of course, Seattle IS 8-0 at home this year... (pulls on collar nervously) ...but we'll see. Nonetheless, good luck to all that these playoffs go off injury-free, and that no one loses to some random small "tuck rule" type thing that burns them up for the next five years.

Having Matt Cassel play most of the game, and Doug Flutie doing a drop kick for a PA, shows you how seriously the Pats took this game. And they still almost tied it up on a 2 point conversion with no time left. Miami barely beat a bunch of 3rd stringers and practice squad guys... Had a guy called up from the practice squad playing WR and CB.

Oh gimme a break, netrueling shaun alexander isnt everything about the seahawks buddy. Matt Hasselbeck can do it too, especially with D Jack back. before D Jack got hurt, he was having a break out year.

The seahawks went into todays game at GB to lose. I think somewhere in mike holmngrens heart, he wanted Bret Favre to go out winning, so if he were to retire he'd leave with a smile on his face and the people of GB cherishing the finale.

Sure he can.

Uh huh.

oh waa waa waa, that was two years ago. according to that the colts should be crying cause they are gonna go home and lose to the patriots.
 
The Colts are taking the AFC this year, they're going to be playing with all sorts of emotion for coach Dungy. We all saw what teams playing with emotion do earlier this year (36-0 Giants over Redskins, who then beat them my 15 point only a few weeks later.)

I'd agree with you if they were in the NFC.. I think any team in the playoffs could knock off the Colts...
 
[quote name='Demolition Man']Amazing not a single mention of Mike Tice getting fired yet. Not that I'm surprised.[/QUOTE]

Yeah, after all the crap this year it isn't surprising.
 
Also gone....

Dick Vermeil of the Chiefs (retired not fired)
Dom Capers of the Texans
Mike Martz of the Rams
Mike Sherman of the Packers

Just heard that Jim Haslett is fired from the Saints. That really surprises me considering everything the Saints went through this year. He should have gotten a pass IMO.

That's actually a really tough call, you've got the Seahawks who I don't think have ever won a playoff game but have homefield advantage and a Colts team which has been knocked out every years when Peyton had a bad day. Realistically I could easily see a super bowl without either team in it.
 
I really really hope the Jaguars smack the Pats right in the face. I'm tired of hearing about them. For a team of a 12-4 record, Jacksonville is the one being disrespected in this game. Everyone is already hyping the Colts-Pats rematch. Just don't look too far ahead.
 
The #6 pick hopefully goes to my 49ers. Now I believe my assumption is correct, that the Texans threw the 49ers game. No way Kris Brown misses that 18 yarder. Either they threw it or Kris Brown has a fucking peg leg.

Nobody is talking about the Jags because they had a cupcake schedule that's why.

Then why are people talking about the seahawks? They had the easiest schedule in the entire NFL.
