If Gronkowski wouldn't have made it, that'd have been a big time snub. That kid is a beast!!!

 

[sprig0701]

In addition to Go Steelers, Go Bengals and Go Bills, but as long as the Bengals win, the Bills winning isn't as important to me. I'd be happy just seeing the Steelers get a 1st round bye to heal up some more.

And just please don't let the Jets back door the play-offs AGAIN! I used to think Rex Ryan humorous and harmless, but he has proved to be one of the biggest classless jerks this season!!!

So here's the AFC play-off picture I'm hoping to see after today;

#1- Patriots
#2- Steelers
#3- Texans
#4- Broncos
#5- Ravens
#6- Bengals



I could really care less about the NFC play-off seeding, but would like to see the Saints sneak into a bye, even though it PROBABLY won't happen.

So I can see the NFC picture looking like this;
#1- Packers
#2- 49ers
#3- Saints
#4- Giants (hopefully)
#5- Falcons
#6- Lions


My Super Bowl XLVI prediction is;

























Lions vs Texans

 

[Darth Madden]

For my SB pick... I'll take Ravens - Saints.

 

[sprig0701]

Ugh! Then definitely go saints in my book.

 

[Darth Madden]

Yeah, I didn't say I wanted those two teams but I think they will be the ones to go.

If I was picking who I wanted I'd go with... Bengals - Falcons.

 

[sprig0701]

Ugh! Then definitely go Falcons in my book.

 

[Darth Madden]

I forgot you are a Steelers fan... sorry I used to like them when I was a kid but now they are are at the bottom of my list with New England and Dallas.

It's all cool. I'm a geographical fan. I live about 85 miles east of Pittsburgh, so around here you either love 'em or hate 'em. Though, New England and Dallas are on the bottom of my list, too.

My preference would be to see the Saints (of course) and the Patriots. Because I would love to see who came out on top of that shootout. And I would pick the Saints in this matchup.

But my colder, more detached choice would be for the 49ers to win the NFC. I think they can beat the Saints because they have home field, and will have a formula for stopping the Pack passing attack in that cold outdoor environment. And I think that the Steelers will represent the AFC again. Ravens and Pats would also be solid choices, but in recent years the Steelers have been more inclined to win when it matters in the post-season. Roethlesberger is gonna get healed up a bit, which will definitely help, and I think the Steelers defense will be able to stop the Pats and Ravens offenses more easily than either of those teams will be able to stop the Steelers.

I think the Steelers would have beaten the 49ers had Batch and Harrison started a couple weeks ago, and I think novelty of the playoffs for the 49ers may give them a bit of stage fright come Superbowl, so I pick the Steelers to take it.

I pray I'm wrong, though. One football championship between defensive powerhouses (in LSU/Alabama) is enough for one year IMO. And the NFL is offense-friendly, so maybe my preferred Superbowl matchup will happen after all

I like the way you think.

I'm honestly hoping for Steelers vs Saints. If the Steelers win, of course I'm happy. If They play like in last year's Super Bowl and lose, I'm a big enough Brees fan it won't bother me as much as it did them losing to the Packers.

Just please not Packers vs Ravens. That would be a hard game for me to watch, because I honestly wouldn't be able to root for either team, but I'd rather see the Packers come out on top of that match-up. Ugh

 

[karamazov80]

I think I would root for any AFC team over the Packers.

 

[sprig0701]

Any other AFC other than the Ravens makes it against the Packers, then I'm all for them. I just hate the Ravens that bad. I actually like Todd heap and Derrick Mason, and think that organization spit in their faces when they cut them to make room for younger, speedier receivers in their pursuit of trying to buy a championship. Especially after all they'd done for that team. Now that they got rid of those two I think that entire roster is stacked with classless ****** bags, from their classless, excuse making head coach on down.

[sprig0701]

I think you're confusing him with his brother.

No, John Harbaugh is a ____! He always makes excuses and blames bad officiating on loses, and last season when asked if he knew Ben might have a broken nose, he replied "Good, I hope we broke it." Pretty classless thing to say about any player.

But yeah, I completely despise everyone and everything about that team.

 

[Grenouille]

CBS is really scraping the bottom of the barrel for the Pats-Bills game today.

Don Criqui and Randy Cross the guys that usually only do pre-season get the call of the game today.

The funny thing is those guys were big time in the 80s.

Most dangerous job in NFL , Texan QB.

They are now playing the backup of the backup of the backup?
