Hoping for for pats Seahawks. That would be great.
Now a Packers vs Bears game for the NFC champ game. How cool is that! One game at a time though ATL will be tough. I believe they will beat the Pack. The Pack will need help from the refs to win it.
A side note Vic got his full game chance to beat the Packers. I will say he almost did it too. Had that last pass been thrown different? But it is over and he did make the toss that lost the game for the Eagles. Kinda hard to take that back.
About the Bears Seahawks game. Many Bears fans are believing the game will be a push over. That was how the Saints felt as well. Is that a sign? I hope not. As a Packer fan I can not imagine a better game than a Bears Packers game for the NFC title match. I just can not see the Seahawks getting past the Bears. but then I did not think they would beat the Saints either. I forgot to add the weather will be a factor against the Seahawks. They do not have much if any playing time in Zero degree weather. The football is rock hard. The passing game will be much different for the QB and the reciever when it is that cold for Seattle. It will throw off the timming of the routes and ball handling. I bet the Bears are plus 3 in take aways in this game. The Bears have a decided edge in playing in the cold.
I will say the Packers have a whole new level of play ahead of them. They can rally with fire in their eyes like Seattle did against the Saints. It will take that kind of effort to win the Super Bowl. Not saying they will do it. And they have a tough road ahead. But it is doable as long as they do not choke.
no way. atl- seattle would be a much better championship game. and seattle - jets > seattle - pats.
Going with the gut calls on this one. After this past weekend, I see the Packers and Seahawks advancing to NFC championship. But the winner will get thrashed by the Patriots in the end:blink:Quote:

Why do you say that? Packers couldn't have been any closer to beating the Patriots and it was at the Patriot's and we used our backup QB that has never even started. Just curious as to how you deduced that.Quote:

How are the Steelers playing? I ask because if the Ravens play next week like they did against the Chiefs do you guys think they can beat the Steelers? I have not seen a Steelers game this year so I have no clue other than stats and what the media is saying about them.
If the Ravens bring/force what they did yesterday, it might be a long day at Heinz Field...I'm rooting for the Steelers at this point. Seeing as how KC went the way of black and white silent movie follies yesterday. Good thing I had a helluva buzz going, so ridiculous.

The Steelers are playing relatively solid. The Ravens wont be able to run on the Steelers like they did on KC. They will have to rely on Flacco and as long as they can keep dialing up the pressure, Flacco doesn't stand a chance.
the chiefs went down like a prom dress in june, i'm not gonna lie.
Indeed. Completely out of character in the turnover department. No way you're going to beat the Ravens giving them prime field position on turnovers, or allowing 10+ minute drives.Quote:

I nearly forgot about Flynn, the rookie that came outta nowhere. No doubt the Pack will be formidable when they are on against anyone. The logic is overall consistency and playoff experience. Even though, last years game between the Packers and Cardinals (always been a Warner fan) was one of the best ones I have ever seen. I think Flynn was a bit of a fluke. The Patriots were on a winning streak and were not as fired up. It won't be the same next time.Quote:

Well normally I would agree with you. But we have a lot of intangibles with Green Bay. A lot of injuries and they are playing new players so the team is not the same one that has played over the regular season. That is why they seem to come from no where. The team they are playing now is quite strong. And it is still finding its legs and strengths going into the playoffs. That makes them hard to adjust to. Like the Falcons will have to adjust to a running game which the last time they met only 6 weeks back the Pack did not have. So for most people that only use stats to make up their mind about how a team will play they will be surprised. As Green Bay polishes their game they will only grow stronger and build confidence in their own ability. This is not the same team that played in the regular season. It is better. Even the Bears have not seen this new Packer team with a running game. It is too early to say they are better than the Pats. But if they get that far they will have more confidence in their new abilities. They will give New England or whoever goes up agaisnt them a tough game. It sounds so cinderella even to me. But it fits for now. Of course more injuries can still happen to change the picture for any of the remaining teams. But I am excited to watch them play and I am beginning to expect them to win which is a new feeling for me.
Go Pack Go!
Seattle, 10 point underdogs at Chicago.
We all know what happened the last time they were 10 point underdogs :)
Ok guys. I have my Man Cave fully stocked already for this weekend of football. Firewood box is even full ready to burn. I wish it was Friday!
I'm with you, stocked up here, and firewood is split and ready to go. This week is going reeeeaaalllly slow.
Jeremy
Can't wait
Ok
Everyone knows I'm on for the Seahawks this weekend.
I had a blast watching last weeks game.
That was a great game and i rooted for the hawks. But the pats will win it all.
what are everyone's picks for the weekend?
as much as i'd like to see the packers lose to atlanta, i'm guessing on the packers winning
chicago > seattle, barring any more magic from hasselbeck and lynch (who drops 8 tackles?)
steelers > baltimore
looks like corey and i both have the pats > the jets
i fully expect to rex ryan being taunted with foam feet at gillette on sunday
let's go get a god damn snack.
The reason I started following the Seahawks was because of Hasselbeck.
He can be an awsome QB when he is at the top of his game but that has been shaky.
I'm not crazy about how they have played the last 2 seasons but don't underestimate them.
After all...they shouldn't have won last week?
Well I am a Packer fan and so I hope they win and I hope the Bears win. I would love to see a NFC title game between the Pack and the Bears. Nothing against the Seahawks just how cool would that Bears Packers rivalry be! And I am pretty confident it will turn out that way.Quote:

Pats should be a ho hum land slide win over the Jets.
I'm a fan of Hasselbeck, too. Fun fact, he's from the town next to where I grew up.Quote:

His brother is an NFL analyst on ESPN.
My guesses are Bears over the Seahawks (Sorry Granny), Falcons over the Packers in the NFC and Steelers over the Ravens, Jet's over the Patriots in the AFC.
I have had to reassess EVERYTHING since I was totally 0 for 4 last weekend.Quote:

If they aren't too beat up, the winner may go all the way.
Packers>Falcons: Falcons, have never been overly impressive, they lost to Saints in last game with their infamous goal line fumble. Falcons are good, but not at the next level yet. They won't be able to survive against the Pack playing like that. Clay Mathews will have at least 3 sacks.
Seahawks>Bears: Jay will get 3 interceptions to add to his record of notoriety. Seahawks will come in and be more consistent than they were last week. This will be a close game.
Patriots>Jets: It won't be a route but Patriots will prevail. The problem with the Pats is defense, they aren't that good against run. They can certainly sustain a shootout. This will be a problem in the divisional championship.
I think everyone's "man cave" is ready :drunk: 4-0 this weekend FTW!
I cant wait for the games. I am super excited about the Pats game. I really hope they are able to shut up Rex for a little while. I will be rooting for the Steelers because I think if the Pats win they can handle the Steelers better than the Ravens.
you're from new england corey, what are the chances you heard wes welker's press conference this week? it was nothing short of magical, he made 6-7 foot references in it. you know that somewhere he's collecting a few hundred bills from his teammates on that one. the best two were "....put our best feet forward" and "....good little foot soldiers."Quote:
