Honestly, if it werent for Rex Ryan, I would be rooting for the Jets tomorrow. I still cant stand Sanchez, but Rex Ryan is a loud mouth and talks just to hear himself talk.

I have had to reassess EVERYTHING since I was totally 0 for 4 last weekend.

Steelers<Ravens: This will be a dog fight, they split their record during regular season. These teams are well matched for each other, great defenses, I think Ravens made some good acquisitions in WR this season, will make the difference and Ravens are due. 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 4-0 this weekend FTW!

Well, you definitely should not be a betting man. 0-5 so far in your playoff picks. You will be 0-6 after tonight.

Nope. Ravens, Packers, and Pats he all got correct.

Say what?

Steelers D wasn't really at fault in the first half, but they woke up even more in the second half and put it on Baltimore.

And you can tell Shannon Sharpe was strongly rooting for the Ravens. I mean of course Cowher was rooting for the Steelers but Sharpe saying the game was "poorly officiated"? Seriously? There were a lot of penalties. I honestly only saw one missed holding call that was blatant. Its not like other games where you are constantly screaming at the TV because the refs are missing calls. Really the only other "missed" call was the opening kickoff where Tomlin shouldn't have had to waste a challenge. Good thing it didnt come back to burn him in the end.

A lot of penalties period, regardless, they had opportunities with receivers dropping the ball after it hits their chest. Can't do much of that and expect to advance. I concede Flacco can't beat Ben.

How about that underrated Rodgers???

But you do agree that the game was officiated fairly? Sharpe was just pissed the Ravens lost and made an assinine comment. A lot of penalties doesn't make it poorly officiated.

Proof of Rodger's overratedness (is that even a word? lol) was on the TD pass. The announcer, pretty sure it was Joe Buck, called it "an impressive throw" He threw the ball 4 yards to a wide open receiver. What was impressive about it? Its like people want him to be great so much that they overemphasize his achievements.

I didn't hear Shannon's stuttering commentary. I would say in spite of all the flags, the referees didn't decide the game.

When I hear about overrated, I have to use McNabb as an example. The local papers LOVED him in philly...I was always a hating hater LOL.

Rodgers is a shooter!

If Rices fumble wasn't forced then neither was Ben's.



As much as I despise the Pats I will be rooting for them tomorrow. If Pittsburgh can't win, I would rather lose in New England to them and have Brady go the Super Bowl again, than lose to the Jets and have Rex Ryan and Shitty Sanchez go to the Super Bowl.

I feel the same way. I would rather the pats lose to the Steelers than the mouth running ravens.

The ATL is getting pimp slapped!
