Let's go Panthers...in 2 weeks that is. I'm glad Seattle is on the other side with Arizona.

 

[Darth Madden]

Ummmmm... Seattle goes to Carolina if they beat Minny. Seattle is the 6th seed.

So..... what are everyones playoff predictions?

Here are mine if the games are actually refereed fairly....

Chiefs vs Pats
Steelers vs Broncos
Steelers vs Pats

Seahawks vs Panthers
Packers vs Cardinals
Seahawks vs Cardinals

Seahawks vs Pats

Patriots win Super Bowl 50 with Tom Brady cementing his legacy as GOAT.

 

[BurningRage]

Look at the QBs that beat Brady this year Pats ain't winning anything.

 

[Grenouille]

My predictions...

AFC
Chiefs over Texans
Steelers over Bengals

Patriots over Chiefs
Broncos over Steelers

Patriots over Broncos

NFC
Seahawks over Vikings
Packers over Redskins

Cardinals over Packers
Seahawks over Panthers

Cardinals over Seahawks

Super Bowl
Cardinals over Patriots

To lazy to break it down

Steelers vs Seahawks in the Super Bowl with the Seahawks winning.

Not by any means what I want to happen just going with my gut.

Pats have played like **** this past couple of weeks don't think they can just flip the switch, regardless of who comes back

 

[WWEJedi]

Look at the QBs that beat Brady this year Pats ain't winning anything.

Considering Brady played part of the Miami game with a very high ankle sprain with half a dozen starters out..... and very very questionable play calling... like throwing the ball five times in the first half.....

Half a dozen starters out against the Jets and Eagles.

Then the Refs handed the Pats a loss.

They have just as good of a chance as everyone else. Broncos lost to the Raiders, Steelers lost to Ryan Mallet, Bengals lost to whoever the Texans QB was at the time. It really comes down to who will be healthy and who executes the game plan. I think each team in the AFC is capable of making a Super Bowl run this year, aside from the Texans, sorry Texans

I'm a big Coughlin supporter. The Giants don't know what they had until it's gone. This was not on Coughlin for Giants losing seasons 3 years in a row. This is ON the GM Jerry Reese!!! He built a lousy roster for Coughlin to coach, too many draft busts and those ridiculous injuries has done Coughlin in. Now it would be ideal to bring in Sean Payton but I know my team won't give up a 2nd round to get him from the Saints.

Am rooting for the Vikings in the playoffs!! My Dad was a big Vikings fan so this is for him!

I agree about Coughlin and Reese. Eli and Beckham Jr. are the only good players on the team.

I agree on Coughlin. Despite some coaching gaffes (was it the Carolina game where he decided to go for the TD in the red zone instead of kicking the FG?), he should have been given another year, if not two.

It's funny how my perception of him has changed since he started coaching. When he started off as the Jags head coach and early in his Giants career, I found his authoritarian ways ridiculous (while I can semi-understand wanting his players to arrive early to their respective position meetings, I didn't understand him prohibiting his coaching staff from wearing sunglasses during practices in the Florida sun. Huh?) but I've grown to like and respect him.

Maybe Miami should hire him.

I'm contradicting myself now, since this is the same situation where the GM didn't help the head coach out by not acquiring talent, but I don't know why Pagano was given an extension with the Colts. Sure Andrew Luck was hurt most of the year, but being a defense minded coach has not paid any dividends for the Colts.

 

[guyver1]

It's a wise choice for Coughlin to step down, it's hard to coach a NY team, too much is expected. Even after two SB wins, it truly is a " what have you done for me lately " kind of town.

Time to get someone new in there. He did the team proud and the city.

Now I can't believe Pagano wanted to stay in Indianapolis

But good for him, I however would've fired the GM though, he's doing nothing to help bring in talent defensively and in the receiving core.

I think Luck will be healthy next season and that will make the difference, but he needs help in the Offensive line desperately to help protect him

I think Payton should coach Niners, they need a coach that will come in and fire the team up

It was against the Jets and I don't blame him when he has the worst defense in the league that can't stop anybody.

Urban Meyer players never pan out. Wonder which one will be in jail first? My money is on Zeke Elliot.

Edit: Joe Haden and the Pouncey Brothers are decent.

You forgot about Carlos Dunlap

Ahh, that I did. Alex Smith too.... I think he coached him at Utah.

 

[WWEJedi]

Honestly though, I can see OSU actually producing a lot of NFL talent this year. They have a good crop of players and possibly a few top ten picks. Glad they are leaving!

Too bad the class coming in is just as good as the players leaving

Yep he did. Smith made him a ton of money.
