Who ya got:

New England Patriots or San Diego Chargers?
Indianapolis Colts or Baltimore Ravens?
Philadelphia Eagles or New Orleans Saints?
Seattle Seahawks or Chicago Bears?

Thoughts? Who-gives-a-damns?

Hmmm... Here goes!

I think San Diego will beat New England. Can't see anyone stopping LaDanian Tomlinson at the moment.

Baltimore will probably beat Indianapolis, though I hope I'm wrong because I think Peyton Manning deserves to win a Superbowl.

Got a sneaky feeling Philadelphia will shock New Orleans.

Chicago will probably be a little too strong for Seattle.

And no one will be as surprised as me if I get 4 out of 4 right!

Guess.

Going with all the home teams this time:
New Orleans
San Diego
Chicago
Baltimore

Though the upset I'd really like to see would be Seattle over Chicago, for two reasons. It would give the Saints a home game for the NFC Championship game (and a weaker opponent, frankly) and it would drive certain posters around up up the frigging wall. :D

The Chargers Should beat the Patriots on paper. But Marty in the playoffs with a inexperienced quarterback scares me against Belichek. Hopefully the playoff demons will leave Marty alone this year. I predict the Chargers by ten.

I don't think that the Colts will be able to have the kind of defensive game last week. Ravens by six.

The Eagles are on a very nice hot streak, and Jeff Garcia looks very good for possibly the first time ever. But I picked New Orleans in the Super Bowl, so I'm going Saints by three in a very high scoring exciting game.

The last game is the ickiest for me. I am one of the biggest Grossman haters, but against Seatle's destroyed secondary he might have a good game. I am decent Seahawks fan, but I'm going with the Bears by 14.


My last prediction, I get one out of four for wins, and none of the point differentials.

Guess.

What is that? A Seahawk or an Eagle? I think it looks like a Phili Eagle in shape, but the colors on my screen look closer to the colors of the Seahawks...

That's an Eagles logo with Eagles colors.

Who ya got:

New England Patriots or San Diego Chargers?

Patriots

Indianapolis Colts or Baltimore Ravens?

Ravens (and I despise them)

Philadelphia Eagles or New Orleans Saints?

Saits (sentimental reasons and I do not like the Eagles.

Seattle Seahawks or Chicago Bears?

Bears.

Thoughts? Who-gives-a-damns?

Patriots against the Ravens with the Ravens moving on to the Superbowl.

Bears over the Saints (regretably) to go to the Superbowl

The SUperbowl is a toss up.

That's an Eagles logo with Eagles colors.

Yeah, the Eagles logo is the only one that goes from right to left. Every other one, including Seattle, is left to right.

And what color scheme is on your computer?

Pats over Chargers, I'm a Bay Stater and a fan.

Colts, because I don't know about the Ravens and the Colts are pretty damn good.

Eagles, because I know nothing about the Saints.

Seahawks, because I know nothing about the Bears.

snippage

Bears are not winning the Super bowl with Grossman as quarterback. He just creates too many turnovers for his offence.

How about the Colts? :p

Me? I don't know, but that looks pretty similar to the Eagles colors as far as I remember.

I'm sticking with my Superbowl predictions.

Chargers vs. Saints

Phili will NOT beat Drew Brees and the saints. Too many weapons, Reggie Bush, Joe Horn, etc. The Saints finally have their entire offence back on the field, they can't loose. People make waaay too much of Marty's playoff woes, just remember, most of his playoff losses came against one quarterback, John Elway. The Pats don't have the steam left to beat them, LT will score at least two touchdowns, and take pressure off of Rivers, who will also have a good game. Merriman is in the lineup, and make fun of his suspension all you want, but that won't prevent him from giving Brady a very bad day. The Ravens D will put a stop to Indy, unless Addai has a miracle game that can allow Peyton to work withour worrying about getting hit. Chicago will beat Seattle, but Grossman will try very, very hard to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

The two NFC games are irrelevant as are all four NFC teams. The Super Bowl winner is going to come out of the AFC and will be either the Ravens or The Patriots.

What the fuck has Peyton Manning accomplished to deserve winning a Super Bowl? He is quite possibly the single most over-hyped player in NFL history.

He is a loser and a galaxy sized choke artist and has been so his entire life. He was a loser when he was at Tennessee, where not only didn't he come anywhere close to a national championship, he never won an SEC championship and he couldn't even beat Florida. He's been a loser every year that he's been at Indy where he's gotten his ass kicked every single year in the playoffs and has never come anywhere close to winning an AFC championship, let alone a Super Bowl.

The Ravens are going to beat the fuck out of Manning and send him crying back to Indy bleeding and broken.

The Patriots will dominate the Chargers. LT's year hasn't been all that considering that he's gotten to play 6 games against some of the worst defense in the league in the Broncos, Raiders and Chiefs. And Schotenheimer has proven that he chokes when it comes to the big pressure games. He always has and he always will.

as I do every year I placed some $$$ bets in november..

I did bet that Chicago will wil the NFC (i get 200 if i win).

Superbowl win?
i get 400 if SanDiego wins .
i get 300 if its Baltimore.
-- my total bill? $250 --

Basically I say: Chicago will be defeated by either Baltimore or SanDiego.

nothing I ve seen in december or January has changed mi mind.

LT's year hasn't been all that.

The man broke the season TD record by week 13, and his season wasn't all that?!

Baltimore v Colts : I couldn't care less about this game. The league's most overrated offense and defense match up for what's garunteed to be a crapfest. The Ravens will bring the blitz but if Peyton has a good game and reads it early on the Colts will dominate. Jamal Lewis is washed up and even Indy's run defense should stop him.

Patriots v Chargers : Omgzorg! Pats in the postseason! Last year they were dominated by the Broncos of all teams and I wasn't impressed with their performance against the Jets.

Seattle v Bears : The Bears will crush these lucky bastards. Poor Romo :(

Eagles v Saints : Good close game. Saints are tough and the Eagles are rolling, but this will be the Birds' last stop.


Saints v Bears : Saints as I'm still wondering how the Bears even made it this far. NFC teams suck. Oh yeah.

Colts v Chargers : Oh my dear lord lol. Worst run defense in history against one of the best runners in history. Expect L.T. to have a record day.


Chargers v Saints : The Cinderella Story vs The League's Powerhouse. The Bolts should pull it off after a close game.

Bears are not winning the Super bowl with Grossman as quarterback. He just creates too many turnovers for his offence.

That maybe but their Defense is one of the best I've seen. As we all know, it is defense that wins titles.

*snip*

Apparently you know jack about football. The NFC will give any AFC team a run for their money in the title game.

Not defense alone. Defense with just enough offense (or offense with just as enough defense, though that's a tougher road--think the Rams the year they won it). But you generally have to be at least competent on both sides of the ball, and that's been the Colts' problem this year, at least so far. And the Bears' problem too, frankly. They won with defense and special teams a couple of times this season when they shouldn't have, but the teams they beat aren't in the playoffs, which is why they got away with it.

LOL.. Are you serious? Everyone knows that the AFC ALWAYS dominates the NFC. The NFC should stand for "Newb Football Club"

The last 10 yrs there have been 6 AFC winners, to the 4 NFC winners. Look at the AFC standings this year, and then look at the NFC standings..Come on, its obvious that the AFC is better.

I've seen this happen to many times that a team that is supposed to win, does not win at all. The Cowboys is prime example of that against Seattle and Denver should have defeated San Francisco and they didn't. Just because a team looks very good does not equat to victory till that clock hits 0:00 in the 4th quarter.

I think its a fair chance of the AFC winning, because they have better coaches and players, although I do agree, its not over until its over(unless the leading team has the ball and decides to kneel. I hate when they do that) and thats when the game is decided.



Anyways, my picks are this:

NO
INDY
CHI(yuck)
NE

NE over INDY 42-13
NO over Chi 24-21

Then NE over NO 28-17

Its called sportsmanship. What's the pointin running up the stats/score?

Well, i have seen close games end with a minute left, because the other team was kneeling. Now if they were to play the game out, it could have went the other way possibly.

If they have zero timeouts, it does not matter. I prefer sportsmanship over running up the stats and/or score.

I think he meant that the NFC is a bad joke as the AFC was from 1982 to 1996.

The NFC west is the most pathetic obomination unto football since the Hersey Texans. Seattle, 49ers, Arizona, and the Rams!?

The AFC is on whole much better than the NFC.

Its called sportsmanship. What's the pointin running up the stats/score?

Or not being retarded by possibly injuring your players/risking a turnover. :p

How the fuck do the Colts win without scoring a touchdown?! Madness. Just, madness.


Also, Saints by three. *dances* ALthough I did think it was going to be more like 34-31 or something.

Who ya got:

New England Patriots or San Diego Chargers?
Indianapolis Colts or Baltimore Ravens?
Philadelphia Eagles or New Orleans Saints?
Seattle Seahawks or Chicago Bears?

Thoughts? Who-gives-a-damns?
Patriots vs Chargers?
I hope it ends in a draw, 3 a piece.
Then both teams forfeit because they threw the game
Colts vs Ravens?
Epic battle between the New Colts and the Old ones.
The New Colts win by 23 and then announce they are moving back to Baltimore
Legal Eagles vs Saints?
Saints by 5 Their kicker scores 22 points
Seagulls vs Bears?
Bears by 18 with their Defence scoring 4 touchdowns.

Yay Saints! The Eagles get the big plays, and the Saints get the soul-crushing, clock-eating drives. I didn't get the decision by Reid to punt on 4th and 15 when he'd just converted a 4th and 10 that was nullified by a penalty. Seems to me that if you're in 4 down territory at the end of the game, you're in 4 down territory. You're just delaying the inevitable. It's not like the Eagles had stopped Deuce all night anyway--they only had a shot because of that fumble recovery.

AFC Title Game
New England Patriots vs. Indianapolis Colts

NFC Title Game
Seattle Seahawks vs. New Orleans Saints

I'm hoping for a Saints/Patriots Superbowl.

da bears, 62 to 3

da bears, 62 to 3

I imagine they'll win, but I've got to root against you, my friend. I'd rather have the Seahawks at home than the Bears on the road next week.

I think TO and Tom Brady would make some cute babies together.

Oh, you meant..

Epic fail.

You think that the best teams in the AFC and NFC are going to lose on the same day to the worst teams left in the playoffs? I can vaguely see the Patriots having a shot, but by all means the Seahawks shouldn't even be in the playoffs.

Chargers: 31
Patriots: 14

Bears: 21
Seahawks: 3

Well, looks like the Bears needed a FG in OVERTIME to get through Seattle. They won't have an answer for the Saints.

The Chargers are up on the Pats right now, and driving (4 mins to go 2nd qtr), it's gonna be SD and indy in the AFC final. My bowl predictions are coming true this year, I can feel it.

New England Patriots or San Diego Chargers? To win in the playoffs, you need a D, something that SD doesn't have, and, the Pats are too good in the playoffs while Shottehiemer is to bad.

Indianapolis Colts or Baltimore Ravens? Peyton is a choke, and the Baltimore D is too good, McNair wants to win one before he closes the book, so he has the hunger.

Philadelphia Eagles or New Orleans Saints? I know that this one is over but I had the Saints down the whole time, the Eagles are just not good enough without McNabb, I don't know how they got out of the first round.

Seattle Seahawks or Chicago Bears? I have to admit that I did not think that the Chi. D was up to the challenge of Shaun Alexander, after the past 4 weeks, and Rex Grossman was way to unreilable, thus I chose the Seahawks, but I do give props to the Bears for their dramatic OT win.


Conference Picks:

Bears over New Orleans, the home-field advantage will give the Bears an edge in this one.

Ravens over Pats, the D gets to Brady and treats them like Denver did last year.

Super Bowl Pick:

Ravens over Bears, the difference in teams between the two conferences is unparalleled, the AFC wins again.

Which is why I said this just a short time ago...

I know, I was just saying who I had picked in the pool with my friends, I new they lost.

I was 100% last week, except for I had the Giants beating the Eagles, but they were crushed in the divisionals.

because I am too lazy to figure up the actual figure.

The vikings. Sure they're last 5 seasons have been crap but a guy can hope can't he?

That will be Patriots vs. Colts and Bears vs. 'Aints (er, Saints) in the title games.

Key matchups: Patriots' tendency to do exactly what is necessary to win vs. Colts having Adam Vinatieri; New Orleans' running attack and Grossman's inconsistencies vs. Chicago's home-field advantage.

Predictions: Patriots barely squeak by the Colts in a moderate-score game (24-21 again?); Saints win at Chicago due to some costly Grossman mistakes.

Super Bowl? Patriots... but then again, I'm a Patriots fan, so why would I say anything else?

because I am too lazy to figure up the actual figure.

So you were three for four.

Here, let me go get my calculator.

ZiNG! :p

And, the Eagles were not crushed. The punt with a minute left was giving up though. They had a shot had they gone for it.

Again the Patriots win by the skin of their teeth and again they ruin my predictions. Cheating bastards. *shakes fist*

Saints vs Bears : Saints, how the Bears made it this far is beyond me.
Colts vs Patriots : Hmm Colts in the postseason and Pats in the postseason.

Good Superbowl: Patriots vs Saints
Bad Superbowl: Colts vs Bears

Best Case Scenario: Saints win and a movie is immediately made featuring their cinderella story and a 15 minute highlight of Reggie Bush laughing at the Texans.

Worst Case Scenario: Colts win the superbowl like they did the Ravens and Manning still gets the MVP. Then I'll have to watch his goofy ass gloat and brag for the next year.

Patriots! All the way!

So, it comes down to the Final Four.

In the NFC we have the...oh who gives a fuck. As I've said before the entire NFC sucks cock, and the Saints going 14-2 in the regular season is proof of that, not to mention the Bears even making the playoffs with Grossman being such a shitty QB.

Over in the AFC it's the Patriots vs the Colts once again.

C'mon, this isn't even going to be close. The Patriots will wipe the field with Peyton Manning as they have done in every meaningful game that they've played against him. A lot of sportswriters were bleating and shrieking about Manning's finally having beaten the Patriots two years ago, but it was regular season game that meant less then nothing. When it comes down to it, in the playoffs when it counts, Manning is choking crybaby loser.

This means the Patriots will win their 4th Super Bowl in the last 6 years elevating them to the ranks of the Steelers/Cowboys among the greatest dynasties in NFL history and ensuring Tom Brady's place as a first ballot Hall of Famer as well as the best quarterback of his era and one of the 10 greatest qb's of all time.

I am banking on my Broncos winning it next year, with Jay at the helm, becoming the Second Coming (of Elway, not Jesus), and with Denver trading Jake the Choke (I know it doesn't rhyme, but bear with me) for an actual running back, so we can stop relying on the Bells.

Ugh, why do the Patriots have to be so fucking good. And SO FUCKING LUCKY. WHAT WAS THAT INTERCEPTION FUMBLE ON FOURTH DOWN! WHY?????

UGH.

How the fuck do the Colts win without scoring a touchdown?! Madness. Just, madness.

Its called field goals.

The Colts are in the AFC championship. I wouldn't really predict that, but it wasn't unforeseeable. The Colts are in the AFC championship with Peyton Manning throwing one touchdown in two postseason games carried on shoulders of their defense. I don't think anyone coulda predicted that.

I must say I was surprised to see the vaunted Chargers go down to defeat. Pleased, too. Since neither of my teams made it (Broncos & Giants) I think I'll go with the Saints.

Oh, and here's a question. The Super Bowl is supposed to be playedon neutral ground, right? What if the team that plays at the chosen sight gets into the game? Do they move it? Or have I just imagined this?

I guess that makes the most sense, since moving it could seriously annoy people who've already made hotel reservations and all that. It was just one of those things I've never really thought about.

I remember one year, one of the host city's team was in contention and they made a comment that it would be the first time in NFL history that the host city's team will be in a super bowl played at their home stadium.

Indianapolis Colts all the way. I'm predicting they win the Superbowl and hoping that Gruden of Tampa Bay Bucs gets it in the face. Down with Gruden Go Dungy!

Ya know? Its attitudes like this that really make me hate fans of many nfl teams when they cannot respect that some people, regardless of town, have more than one favorite team.

I'm a die hard Denver Fan. I eat, breath, and dream (less now than in the past) Denver. However, they are not my only favorite team. I also like the Giants and I also like the Steelers as well.

Now I dare you to come over to Pittsburgh, and tell me to my face (when I get back home that is) that I am not a die hard, true Denver Broncos fan. If ya do, I will show you so much Broncos stuff that I have, you will turn red with embarressment.

Comprende?

They were to a real team, just a team without runningbacks, once Mike put in Jay, they were on the right track.

Actually, the offense played pretty damn well. It was their damn defense that let them down. Because it was their defense, their defensive coordinator got canned.

Interesting, because at the start of the season they were holding everybody to very low scores because of the defense. I don't know, my real team response was just a little playground nyah-nyah to Buristan. It was quite disappointing, the way the season turned out, which seems to be a trend lately in Denver. Defense, running-backs, I don't know. I think Shanahan reads too many of his own press releases and believes them. He needs to work on his time-management during the game, there was more than one occasion when we were out of time-outs for no good reason.

I do look forward to seeing how Cutler develops, though I don't envy any quarterback for the Broncos, there will always be the shadow of John Elway.

For which I call bullshit again. They had to throw so much because the Defense continued to give up a shit load of points.

John Elway believes in Cutler and that is indeed a good sign for the future. He has not said that about any other QB that has played in Denver.

Not true, many times the O would throw when they got up, and they good ole Jake the Money Pit, would throw a pick.

Yes, there was that.

John Elway believes in Cutler and that is indeed a good sign for the future. He has not said that about any other QB that has played in Denver.
That's quite true, he did, didn't he? I still think Cutler looks like he dropped out of the 11th grade to join the team. That's just a function of my age, though. :p

That is because we played horrid teams at the start.

Baltimore was not a horrid team. Kansas City was not a Horrid team. Saint Louis is not all that horrible and neither were the Patriots (playing in the AFC title game) or the Steelers despite what their record was.

Grow up and actually learn some football.

Not true, many times the O would throw when they got up, and they good ole Jake the Money Pit, would throw a pick.

*yawns*

Now I know why I do not visit the Broncos forums anymore. Everyone blames the QB. Sometimes, it is his fault and other times it is not. To blame one person for troubles is really stupid.

That's quite true, he did, didn't he? I still think Cutler looks like he dropped out of the 11th grade to join the team. That's just a function of my age, though. :p

I think he looks like that too, but then again, I am in the 11th grade.

The NFC west is the most pathetic obomination unto football since the Hersey Texans.

May I ask who the hell the Hersey Texans are/were? I know of the Dallas Texans, one incarnation of which turned into the Kansas City Chiefs and another incarnation of which was a God-awful 1950s-era NFL team. I know of the Houston Texans, who deserved to be laughed at. I know of no Hersey Texans. Google seems to know of no Hersey Texans.

BTW, I picked the Ravens to win it all, and we see how that turned out.

Apparently you know jack about football. The NFC will give any AFC team a run for their money in the title game.

So tell me cuntface, how does that Patriots utter destruction of your vaunted Chargers taste?

Bitter.

And you bleat and shriek that I know jack about football.

Right.

You're a 'tard, plain and simple. Every pundit/sportswriter/sportsreporter has said that the AFC has been the dominant conference not just this year, but for the past 7-8 years.

Sad that you can't have an objective view of things like I do.

I wonder how much you "love the Pats" if you don't know how they are doing. But to answer your question, very well. Sadly. I'm a Jets fan....sigh...

Ha. Your super bowl winner lost yesterday! Nice prediction moron. Everyone knows the Saints are going to the super bowl.

Only because American Sport is owned by TV, it is all choreographed and the results don't mean shit, Eagles were robbed by Hurricane Katrina sentiment and Pittsburgh winning last year ha!

They only won because if they didn't Pittsburghs population would collectivly commit suicide because their Hockey team is shit and their Football team is too.

I had a math teacher who once tried to convince us that pro football was fixed. He was pretty amusing. He was also largely full of shit. You can't choreograph something football; there are too many variables.

If pro football is fixed, then you can go to any hardware store and buy used paint. You can also teach your dog to run backwards just by putting him/her in a long enclosure in which he/she cannot turn around. You can also save on your electric bill by making all your walls into mirrors so light can't escape. And oh yeah, be wary of those thieves who come into your home, steal everything, and replace it all with exact replicas.

And since, in this world, 1 = 2, I am 5 for 5. Your move.

Ugh. You've had your share of Super Bowls. :mad:

The way I see it now, there are two scenarios the NFL wants from a storyline perspective.

The most obvious one is the Saints versus the Colts. The Saints are the feel good story of the year, with the movie rights no doubt being negotiated right now with Disney, starring Brad Pitt as Drew Brees. And with the Colts, there's a New Orleans tie with payton Manning, blah, blah blah.

The other great potential storyline is the Patriots versus the Bears, a repeat of the Super Bowl Shuffle, which means we would no doubt be treated to endless repeats of that stupid fucking song and dance. Jim McMahon would get to be on teevee again, etc. Only this time, it would be something like "the Patriots get revenge" since they'd be favored.

Saints-Pats and Bears-Colts just aren't sexy.

Saints-Pats would be sexy, the upstart, young, new "America's team" against the Big Bad Brady Belichek dynasty could be advertised pretty well. Anything with the Saints will do well.

I am happy as long as the colts are not in it..I had to pain of talking to a colt fan..He had NO FUCKING clue what he was talking about. He just said the same BS over and over and then had the nerve to act like other didn't know what they were talking about...Moron.

"They" (presumably referring to me) should be "embarrased"...you went after my bishop, I captured your rook, and you just pushed a pawn that was doing absolutely nothing whatsoever. Not much of a move.

Anywho, if you honestly think it's possible to choreograph football, what with 22 people all doing very different things, the difficulty of ensuring that passes and field goals go where they are supposed to, and with how much football players already have to learn...you can't expect them to learn choreographed moves on top of that. Especially considering how batshit-insane some of these players already are...that is, unless you think the NFL is giving Terrell Owens big bucks to attempt suicide. I don't know about you, but I wouldn't take that kind of money to make a complete idiot out of myself and piss off entire cities. I certainly wouldn't want to be remembered as a choke artist, a crybaby, or a punk-ass bitch who stomped on someone's head.

Choreographing the results of a pro football game makes no sense. It's too hard to do, and can people really be that prepared in case one of the stars goes down with an injury? There are too many things to worry about. It just wouldn't work.

I know of the Houston Texans, who deserved to be laughed at. I know of no Hersey Texans. Google seems to know of no Hersey Texans.

BTW, I picked the Ravens to win it all, and we see how that turned out.

1952 there was a team called the Dallas Texans that are probably the worst professional team of all time. They had so little fans that they moved to Akron, Ohio and finally reached the resting place of the Hersey, Pennsylvania.

They actually had one win over the Chicago Bears (27-23) after the Bears left their third string in the whole game. At one point they rotated offensive linemen into running backs for fun.

Google is fail.

Prediction: WRONG

The Patriots cheat somehow, they are the worst best team in the history of sports. Every goddamned year they win by some stroke of divine luck.

Methinks it's vodoo magick.

So very true.

changing it up slightly, can you imagine the Chicago Bears if their quarterback wasn't 3/4 worthless? Dominance..

It's a week late, but I've come to congratulate the Bears.

Legions of Chicago bet-placers are eating shit after last week's spectacularly-under-the-spread victory.

Yes, it's a sour-grapes kind of feeling, but it's all I have left. I knew Seattle was going to lose, but I had no idea they'd lose so WELL.

This convinces me that Chicago hasn't got a prayer of stopping New Orleans. If they couldn't keep Shaun Alexander under 100 yards and let him run up the gut off RIGHT tackle, Reggie and Deuce are going to have a field day.

But there's still the Dome Curse. No dome-dwelling team has ever won an away playoff game outside.

All I can do is hope. After all the taunting and unabashedly ludicrous predictions by folks here and elsewhere that Seattle was going to be steamrolled by "Da Bears", to have them damn near give it up and need an overtime field goal to win it is sweet enough for me. Fuck pretty-boy, no-hands Romo and congrats to clutch-kicking Gould. It was a much better divisional game than I had ever hoped to see. And this from last year's Super Bowl loser, who, by recent precedent, weren't even supposed to MAKE the playoffs after crippling injuries and who edged the Cowfuckers with a decimated secondary that featured a guy who was working RETAIL two weeks before the game.

We'll be back, but first we're going to watch the Saints derail the Bears and lose valiantly to the Patriots in the Big One.

But I wouldn't bet on it. Too much has been too unpredictable this year.

On that, I can put my pride aside and agree. If Rex had continued playing like he did in the regular season pimp-slapping the Bears gave the Seahawks, they'd likely have gone undefeated and there'd be no question. Too bad he's so schizophrenic.

My friend, you are crazier than a shit-house rat.

Why? We're at the point where any of the potential scenarios wouldn't be surprising--there's not that much difference in the talent level of any of these teams right now. The Colts are obviously good enough to beat the Patriots--they did it earlier this season and they're playing at home. And the Saints are obviously good enough to beat the Bears--pretty much the only reason the Bears are favored is because they're at home. So Saints-Colts is no crazier than Bears-Colts, Bears-Patriots or Saints-Patriots.

I'll repeat, though, the one matchup I don't want to see is the Bears-Patriots, because you just know every football analyst show is going to break out the video of the Super Bowl Shuffle.

The Colts are obviously good enough to beat the Patriots.

That's like saying a snowman can beat a flamethrower because it's snowing.

Anyone know why the Bears are even in the playoffs?

Saints: Great offensive weaponry.
Colts: Great offensive weaponry.
Patriots: They're the goddamned Patriots.
Bears: They have Rex Grossman? *shrugs*

Ack. This topic dissapoints me, because the Bears' win today deserves its own thread, which would probably be locked as a duplicate now. But, dismayed as I was to see that this was already posted, knowing that the Bears are going back to the Super Bowl makes the dissapointment short-lasting. Bears in two weeks! :D

Peyton Manning is now officially the biggest choke artist in pro football history.

It's Patriots-Bears down in Miami, and Patriots will roll all over the Bears, and establish themselves as the greatest football team of the last 28 years and Tom Brady will cement his status as the greatest qb of the last 30 years.

Bears: They have Rex Grossman? *shrugs*

Maybe that counts for the First Half of the Season, and the Second Half of today's game in which the Bears CRUSHED the Saints.

Manning, after I was down on him this year for the first time in his carreer, has now re-captured my heart. *flutters*

And I still can't believe the Bears-Saints game. It just....fell apart.

Well, Looks like I was half right. Way to go Colts. I'm not going to predict a Super Bowl winner, however, I really hope the Indianapolis Colts win. I think Tony Dungy and Peyton Manning really deserve to take the Super Bowl win home.

That post just has to hurt now doesn't it?


Not a bit.

The refs stole the game from the Patriots with that bullshit roughing the passer call in the 4th quarter. You can't even fart within 15 yards of a qb, let alone actually put your hands on him. Last time I looked there was no rule about touching a players helmet with your hands. not headslapping, that's been illegal for nearly 32 years. Not a facemask. Just touching the helmet, which is all that the Pats player did.

And Manning is still the biggest choke artist in NFL history because he had never won a Super Bowl.

Fuck getting to a Super Bowl. Shit, Joe Capp got to a Super Bowl. Rich Gannon got to a Super Bowl. Where they were exposed as the shitty frauds that they truly were. Just as Manning will be exposed as the biggest choke artists in NFL history.

I suppose Dan Marino, Warren Moon, Randal Cunningham, and Jim Kelly are also choke artists.

You just need to man up and swollow the shit you put out a few posts back. Nevermind Peyton had over 300 yards of passing, whereas Brady lobbed a pick when it counted most.

Rich Gannon didn't choke in that Superbowl, it was Bill Calahan running the same playbook against the fucking coach who desgined it. You can tell how easy Tampa Bay's secondary read the routes and jumped on them.

Eat the crow.

Foo-Foo, you seem to have a bit of an anger management problem. It's just football, brother, relax.

Tom Brady will cement his status as the greatest qb of the last 30 years.

I just caught onto this goldmine.

Even if Tom Brady did win a fourth superbowl, he would be around number twenty on my list and yes Peyton would still have been above him regardless.

Don't place the weight of an entire game onto the quarterback alone. The offensive line plays a greater role than anyone, but those poor bastards never get any credit. (90's Cowboys anyone?)

I'm not watching the game this year. In fact, I hope the stadium gets swallowed by a freak sink hole. That'd be worth watching it :D

A good way of determining the value of a position is the average salary for the position. Left tackle (the quarterback's blind side) is the second highest paid position in the league (behind the quarterback). The entire offensive line combined is usually much more important than the quarterback. A top-tier offensive line can make a very good runningback out of any decent rusher, and it can make a very good quarterback out of any decent thrower. Most games are won and lost in the trenches.

I kind of agree as I always wanted Peyton to join the Dan Marino club that way they could make an ESPN spin off after he retires.

I get most of my views and knowledge on the subject from "The Blind Side", by Michal Lewis. Good book, and very informative. But thinking it through a little more, my keys to winning are: Dominating the line of scrimage, not turning the ball over, and not giving up the big play on special teams. And have a clutch kicker always helps.
