It would be really sweet if the 50th Super Bowl had the same result as the first.

Pittsburgh may be the roadblock.
And I think Arizona wins the NFC.

You got that right.Goober McTuber wrote:The Packers aren't going anywhere this post-season.
Yeah, but they did themselves a favor by not winning the division yesterday. I'm guessing they'd rather take their chances with Washington than Seattle.KC Scott wrote:The pack has looked really bad this season.Goober McTuber wrote:It would be really sweet if the 50th Super Bowl had the same result as the first.
Rodgers looks tentative, the line can't block, WR can't hold onto anything and Eddie Lacy looks like an advertisement for Edy Gourmet
Houston at home with a very confident defense. JJ Watt removed the cast yesterday and had 3.5 sacks. He's back. I give the Texans the slight edge in a very ugly game.Felix wrote:Right now I wouldn't put it past them.....the Chefs are as hot as a check written by LTSTARD...10 in a row
granted it wasn't a murders row of opponents, but there were some quality teams they beat.....I would not want to be the first team to play them in the playoffs
Seahawks had nothing to gain by winning yesterday's game, and had a lot of good players out on IR. If they're anywhere close to full strength in the playoffs it's going to be tough for any team to beat them.Sudden Sam wrote:I saw the score of the Seahawks-Cards game. I don't think the Cards GARA.

No, it'd have to be for the conference championship.Goober McTuber wrote:Is that even possible?Go Coogs' wrote:I want to see Seattle at Carolina in the divisional round.
Low seed plays highest seed in divisional round, so if Seattle wins (#6) they will play Carolina and not Arizona.Smackie Chan wrote:No, it'd have to be for the conference championship.Goober McTuber wrote:Is that even possible?Go Coogs' wrote:I want to see Seattle at Carolina in the divisional round.
The first round of the playoffs is dubbed the wild-card playoffs (or wild-card weekend). In this round, the third-seeded division winner hosts the sixth seed wild card, and the fourth seed hosts the fifth. There are no restrictions regarding teams from the same division matching up in any round. The 1 and 2 seeds from each conference receive a bye in the first round, which entitles these teams to automatic advancement to the second round, the divisional playoffs, where they face the wild-card weekend survivors. The NFL does not use a fixed bracket playoff system. The number 1 seed will host the worst surviving seed from the first round (seed 4, 5 or 6), while the number 2 seed will play the other team (seed 3, 4 or 5).
My heart hopes you are right. My brain says that the defense is a damned sieve, Ben is making too many harebrained decisions and the special teams are not very special. Oh yea, and they might be missing their stud backup RB meaning the lead ball carrying duties might be in the hands of Fitzgerald Toussaint, who averages 2 yards a carry against the fearsome Browns defense.Go Coogs' wrote:Right now, I don't see anybody out of the AFC who poses a bigger threat than Pittsburgh.

Yes, I know your defense is lacking, but it just doesn't matter considering how potent your offense is with Big Ben and Brown. Miller is a decent safety valve and that o-line is just good enough in pass protection to score points and win. Again, I won't be surprised if NE comes out of the AFC, but nobody really has a 2000 Ravens defense to overcome a lacking offense. Denver, KC, and Houston's pass rush is salty, but I need to see more out of Smith, Hoyer, and Manning to consider them a real threat againt Pitt and NE.BSmack wrote:My heart hopes you are right.

Houston's defense is 10x better than that atrocity they had on the field in week 1 against KC. Rahim Moore sucked, Vince Wilfork is being rotated more often, and Andre Hal is one of the best young safeties in the league since replacing Moore. Travis Kelce needs to be accounted for and I think Houston has the scheme and personnel to hold him to a modest performance this time. Maclin is an issue as well, but Jonathon Joseph and Kevin Johnson have the skills to keep him in check, so it comes down to Alex Smith's mobility and extending plays with his legs. Texans struggle with QBs who can scramble as we witnessed with Tyrod Taylor in week 15 against Buffalo, but that was with one handed JJ Watt. The run defense of the Texans is much improved as well because their safeties have a nose for the ball and the Rookie McKinney improved quite a bit throughout the season as well as JaDeveon Clowney. With those two on the field late in the season, opponents struggled to establish the run. Clowney is hurt and his status is unknown for the Wildcard, but most likely he will play. Whitney Mercilus is the x-factor when it comes to containing Alex Smith. If he can feed off the momentum of his 4 sack performance yesterday, then the Texans have the ability to bottle up the Chiefs offense for minimal to moderate success. They are confident as they've held their opponents to 22 points over the past three weeks combined; albeit against inferior competition.
On offense, the Texans are inconsistent, have a QB who can't handle constant pressure in his face, and lack a feature running back. What they do have going for them is Alfred Blue running for over 100 yards the last two out of three weeks, Akeem Hunt being a great change of pace back in special play packages, and Jonathan Grimes & Chris Polk to offer a little bit of everything you want in a running back. Hunt has come on strong lately with his speed and quickness which has helped give Bill O'Brien some versatility in his play calling and also gives the Texans a real pass receiving threat out of the backfield with him and Grimes in the game. It's opened things up for this offense, but again, it all depends on the pressure Hoyer faces. Losing Pro-bowl LT Duane Brown yesterday and for the playoffs plays favorably into the Chiefs' pass rush and they have one of the best in the league. The Chiefs are aggressive in the secondary and are a very opportunistic defense. Marcus Peters is having a good rookie season with those gaudy interception #s (8), but he's also been burned for 7 touchdowns (4th worst among all corners) so he can be caught cheating and pay the price. Seth Smith most likely gets the Nuk assignment with some help from Eric Berry when needed. Houston doesn't really have a threat at TE, so someone needs to step up and make plays for this offense because KC isn't going to give the Texans much to play with. Nate Washington HAS to catch those 50-50 balls, and Jalen Strong needs to continue his improvement in his route running and playmaking abilities. Other than that, I just don't see Houston lighting up the scoreboard.
It'll come down to whoever takes care of the ball and finishes the few successful drives with TDs. On paper KC looks to be the better team by a slim margin, but home field playoff game at NRG tips the scales slightly in Houston's favor.
16-13 Houston
Except Ben is getting more pressure and making worse decisions. Losing his running game isn't going to help that. They might make it past the Bungles, especially if McCarron is playing.
