Lou_Siffer 1 Report post Posted January 2, 2007 I went with Baltimore and New Orleans. The NFC is just so wide open and every team has problems, but the Saints have some solid road wins so i can see them winning at Chicago. My original pick at the start of the season was Dallas, and i still think on paper they have the best talent. Part of me still wants to stick it out and say they'll bounce back from these losses and return to form, so im kinda torn! In the AFC, i think Baltimore just has "it" this year with McNair. San Diego is a great team but if they have to play New England, theres no way i can bet against Belichek facing a young QB in his first playoff game. As for the Super Bowl, if N.O does make it theyll be like the NFLs version of the cinderella Detroit Tigers and fall short.at the end. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

See I think when you have home field advantage, solid defense, and a great running back, you never go against that in the playoffs. San Diego has it all and to me, are going to be this years champions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But it all comes down to Rivers vs Belichick for me like i said. Now if the Jets upset N.E. than its a moot point, but i dont know...i can just picture Rivers having a real tough time with the defensive schemes he'll throw at him.

Pats beating the Jets is not a given. The Jets talentwise dont match up, but with Mangini, a Belichick disciple, they have a shot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jedi 1,865 Report post Posted January 3, 2007 (edited) I'm gonna go with S.D. and N.O., with S.D. picking up the Lombardi trophy. The NFC is more evenly matched all around than the AFC. But the AFC's best are WAY better than the NFC's best. Should be a fun few weeks! *edit* Double post. Edited January 3, 2007 by Jedi Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Heroes of Hockeytown 694 Report post Posted January 4, 2007 Only Marty Schottenheimer can stop the Chargers. Excellent point. Martyball may yet be the doom of the Chargers.

timothy1997 0 Report post Posted January 4, 2007 Hmmm...too many people like New Orleans, thats a bad sign. I think a lot of people look at Chicago and can't see them in the Super Bowl, and thats why they pick the Saints. Same amount of people are picking the Chargers too tho.

RockyMountainWingGal 108 Report post Posted January 4, 2007 Not really looking like a very exciting playoffs on paper- but you never know. I picked San Diego - it seems to be their year. I won't be able to stomach watching Baltimore in the Super Bowl - I would rather go skiing that day then. I always root for Brady/Pats but I don't think they have that much talent this year - amazing they did this well considering. I like to watch the hometown team play - Broncos - but they blew it in OT last Sunday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

betterREDthandead 58 Report post Posted January 6, 2007 I pick Chargers and Eagles for the Super Bowl. I can't see anyone stopping LT in the playoffs. As for the Eagles, well, Bears have too many problems, and I can't see the Saints going all the way. That leaves one of the teams playing this weekend, and the Eagles are the best of that bunch. I'll be pulling for the Saints, though. Them and the Colts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lou_Siffer 1 Report post Posted January 7, 2007 I refuse to be a believer in Garcia! I think playoff time will be where the true Garcia shows up, so i smell a Giants upset! (well at least thats what im hoping for) Patriots over Jets in the other one Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Heroes of Hockeytown 694 Report post Posted January 7, 2007 No way. The Giants are an embarrassment of a football team. Philly needs to light them up. In an ideal world, the careers of Tom Coughlin in New York and Tiki Barber (who, by the way, is actually a really cool guy) should end this afternoon. The oft-unappreciated Brian Westbrook will lose his mind and combine for over two hundred yards and a score or two. Or so my prediction goes, anyways. Pats should beat the Jets, but an upset would be terrific in my book. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mannysBETTER3434 1 Report post Posted January 7, 2007 I'm taking a big chance here: I'm going Colts vs. Seahawks. I think NE, NYJ, and SD are better then the Colts, but I would like to see Manning win a ring. In the NFC I can't see the Bears going all the way with Grossman.

Grossman. Worst quarterback in the playoffs. I also would love to see the Giants eliminated early. What terrific poetic justice for Eli Manning to watch the Chargers go to the Super Bowl from his couch. Tiki Barber is the only reason I would have to root for the G-men.

Tiki is a class act, but Eli and Coughlin are little *******. You notice how every year the Super Bowl champ catches a huge break in the playoffs? Like Rothlesburger's tackle against the Colts when the Bus fumbled, or Tom Brady's tuck call when he got sacked by Woodson. The Seahawks may be that team after Romo's choke FG attempt Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hiei 192 Report post Posted January 10, 2007 I Have always been, still am, and will continue to be a fan of THE CHICAGO BEARS!!!!!!! There's one twist...I was born in 1988. 3 years after Sweetness, Samurai Mike, and that Punky QB Known as McMahon went to New Orleans and brought home a Lombardi Trophy. I was born into the end of the Ditka Era, The Wannstedt Era, the QB Switcheroo, the years of sub-.500 play, and no playoffs, and being the cellar dwellers of the NFC...Then came Jauron. The One Good Season under him in the last year of Old Soldier, and he squandered it. Losing seasons the next 2 years and Dick Jauron was gone. Then Came Lovie, the Texan who sold me on the first sentence I ever heard him speak: I know how to beat the Green Bay Packers. YEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WE GOT SOMEONE WHO'S THINKING! Next he said: We will build a playoff contender by building a division winner. Again a step forward. We will Bring a Superbowl Championship back to Chicago. By now I'm drooling and waiting for the 05 season to start... The 04 season-5-11, BUT WE BEAT THE PACKERS! (like he said) The 05 season-11-5, NFC North Division Champions! (like he also said, despite losing to Carolina) This season-13-3, NFC North Division Champs! Again! We play the Seachickens Sunday at Noon...And much like the first time: THE BEARS WILL PUNCH YOUR STUPID FACE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
