Well guys, it's that time again. Are you ready for some playoff football? My Bearss are back as is their punishing defense. Urlacher will probably win defensive player of the year, though I think it will be more of an award based on the collective output of the entire defense. Vasher, Tillman, Mike Brown, Ogunleye, and Lance Briggs are all deserving as well. With Rex back (and with NO TAPE ON HIM), I think the Bears offense may have just the jumpstart it needs to get them to the Super Bowl. Even if not, they can play the trenches in 10 degree soldier field their first game and they'll be in the NFC Championship game. In the AFC, Indy is still the clear favorite. Anyways, onto the predictions!
AFC Wild Card: New England vs Jacksonville - No one is giving the Jags much of a chance in this one, and I'm not either. I'd almost rather see Garrard in there for Jax, I don't know how rusty Leftwich will be. Pats win in Foxboro in January though. Pats 24 Jags 14 Cincy vs Pittsburgh - So the Bengals are underdogs at home? I don't know about that, I'm not sure why everyone expects them to lay an egg. Since everyone and their mom has been picking Pitt, I'm taking Palmer to Chad all day. Cincy 34 Pitt 31 NFC Wild Card: Tampa vs. Washington - Statistically they are the #1 defense, and I like Caddy in this one. I'm not buying what Washington and their bandwagon is selling. Should be a hard fought defensive game. Tampa 13 Washington 10 NY Giants vs. Carolina - Could go either way, this is a pretty hard game to call. Eli has been shaky, but so has Carolina's run game all season. Foster may be the remedy, but I'd rather have Tiki myself. NYG take it at home.

Best thing about a Bears bye? I don't have to risk jinxing them for another week.
Best thing about dating a girl whose mom has season tickets? Well, that's just self-explanatory ![]() Pats vs. Jags I think everyone's underestimating the Jaguars. They're 12-4 for a reason, and that reason is great run defense and a decent O. Plus Leftwich is one of the most clutch players in the league. Of course, Brady is THE most clutch player in the league, and I can't pick against Bellichek in January (yet). Edit Apparently there's a limit to how much the PSP can type. Patriots 21- Jaguars 13 Bengals vs. Steelers I know the Steelers are hot right now, and the Bengals are stumbling into the playoffs. But I can't help but think the Bengals are going to pull this one out. I think the Bengals have a better overall team than the Steelers, plus Cowher never wins on the road in the playoffs. I'll take the "underdog." Bengals 31- Steelers 27 Bucs vs. Redskins Ever since the big game between these teams a few weeks ago, it seems like there's a fire lit under the Redskins, who are playing as well as anyone right now. I don't think these are the same teams that played that week, and the Bucs haven't really improved like the Redskins. Plus Brunell has been playing like the late-90s version of himself. Redskins 19- Bucs 10 Panthers vs. Giants This is the toughest game to call. Both of these teams look excellent sometimes, and then sometimes they look like they have no clue what they're doing. There are huge inconsistencies in each of these team's games, but I'm going with the Panthers because the Giants' inconsistencies are at positions (QB and Kicker) where you can't afford to be inconsistent in the playoffs. Panthers 24- Giants 21 OT (But Feely will have at least one opportunity to win before that.)

Hmmm ok lets see Wild Card Weekend...alright time for the Nugget's Lock Picks:
AFC: Bungles vs. Squeelers: Hate both teams with a passion but at least only one will advance. Steelers have too much offensive weapons with the speed of Willie Parker and power of the Bus. Rothlesberger's thumb should be fine by now and the Bengles D, especially their run defense, is questionable and they have to face a playoff experienced team. Steelers 24 - Bengles 17 Jaguars vs. Patriots: Both teams playing the "We don't get any respect" card which is pathetic. Jacksonville is overall a better team then the Pats but it depends on which Patriots team shows up to play. Another question is whether Leftwich will be able to play to his ability after being out since late November. If Leftwich struggles don't be surprised to see Garrard come in. While the Pats still have perhaps the best LB corps in the league their secondary is makeshift while the Jags have one of the most solid defenses in the league. Expect a defensive struggle. Jaguars 13 - Patriots 9 NFC: Panters vs. Giants: Too many, the Panthers were the NFC lock to go to the Super Bowl and at times play like the best team in the NFC. Their defense is strong, Delhomme's consistancy, Davis healthy, and with Steve Smith being this years best WR they look like a sure pick in this one. However the Panthers are their own worst enemy. The Giants have been hot especially Barber but Shockey's health is in question and Carolina is going to put alot of heat on the still developing Manning. Carolina 31 - New York 17 Tampa Bay vs. Washington: Washington has been waiting for this rematch since week 10. Tampa Bay has made a major turnaround from last year, most of it due to Cadillac Williams but if he is stopped so is the Bucs offense. Simms is a smart QB, he will not lose a football game but he will also not win it for them. Brunell on the otherhand has playoff experience and has turned his career around under Gibb's leadership. It will not be another 36-35 game but a defensive battle instead with Washington getting revenge.

Alright, time to pick the second round:
Pittsburgh vs. Indianapolis Jerry Porter said some nonsense about how the Colts don't play real football, how they want to out-think the other team. Last I checked, the Patriots won 3 of the last 4 Super Bowls by out-thinking other teams. They don't have to play physical football when their ridiculously fast wide receivers are running past your defense for TDs. Plus I want to see him tell Dwight Freeney his team's not physical. Ben Roethlisberger will be the one to pay for that one. Colts 33- Steelers 14 New England vs. Denver Just like the Jaguars, I think the Broncos are a dangerous team that could sneak up on a lot of people in the playoffs. But also just like Jacksonville, I can't see them beating the Patriots in January, even at home. No one out-thinks someone like Bellichek. Patriots 24- Broncos 17 Seattle vs. Washington The Seahawks are way too balanced of a team to have a "Bucs" put on them by the Redskins. The Redskins D would have to put a lot more than 14 points up in this one to win, but the Seahawks just have too many weopons for that to happen. Seahawks 30- Redskins 6 I have too much at stake in the Bears game to risk picking it. I'm kinda dissapointed it's going to be so warm, though. The one time you really want it to be cold in Chicago in January, and it's going to be in the 40s. -------------------- Hip-Hop QOTW: "Yeah, where I'ma start it at, look I'ma part of that Downtown Philly where it's realer than a heart attack It wasn't really that ill until the start of crack Now it's a body caught every night on the Almanac" "Game Theory" The Roots |

Hmmm ok here we go again:
Colts vs. Squeelers: At least the Steelers put Cincy in their place and hopefully we will never have to hear "Who dey" or whatever it is ever again. Yet as much as I hate the Steelers I respect them but they cannot compete with Indy's offense. Even if the Steelers can hold the Indy offense, Indy has a tough defense and the Steelers offense is not good enough to rack up points to keep up with Indy. Colts 38 - Steelers 21 Broncos vs. Patriots: Ok I was wrong about the Jags, obviously Leftwich was not ready to play but Plummer and the Broncos are. Denver's running game is too good and it will cause the Patriots weak secondary to play up allowing Plummer to pick apart the defense. Of course you never know with the Patriots and damn Bellichek (WHY COULDN'T YOU WIN WITH THE BROWNS !@#%#). I still feel that the Broncos will pull off a close game but even in the Pats win, it will be their last one this season. Broncos 24 - Patriots 21 Bears vs. Panthers: Oh boy talk about a knock-down, drag out slug fest between two of the best defenses. If the Panthers play the way they did last week they will be in the Super Bowl. The Bears have a week off but their is a big, BIG question mark with Rex Grossman. If he cannot be productive then the game will be all on Benson's shoulders and the Panthers will smuther him. Panthers 13 - Bears 7 Seahawks vs. Redskins: Two great coaches going at it. Redskins pulled off a win last week with under 200 yds offense. That won't be enough to stop the (in my best Chris Berman imitation) C-bags and Hasselback and Alexander. The Redskins defense is going to have to play all out to compete in this one.

For the record, Thomas Jones is the Bears RB BGrugby.
Washington vs. Seattle: I really don't think Washington has much of a chance in this game. NFC 1 and 2 seeds are 27 and 3 thanks to the bye, and that stat can't be underrated enough. Seahawks 21 Skins 9 New England vs Denver: NE are stilll the defending champs and though I hate them, I can't pick against them especially when Plummer is lining up on the other side. 10 and 0, Or 0 wins since 1998. I'll take the former. Besides, I really want to see Indy vs NE in the AFC title game. Pats 24 Broncos20 Indy vs Pittsburgh: Porter is a delusional idiot. They're all hyped up after an easy win against a Palmer-less Bengals team. They don't even have a prayer. Colts 38 Steelers 20 Chicago vs Carolina: Good defensive matchup, but let's be serious here. As Urlacher said "The Bears aren't the Giants". The Panthers beat up on an Atlanta team that phoned it on, and beat a linebacking core that was practice squad caliber and couldn't tackle worth a darn. They held the ball for 43 minutes, so it wasn't hard to keep Tiki down when he was off the field more than 2/3 of the game. Their bandwagon is getting pretty ridiculous. Thomas Jones ran for 1300 yards, despite being banged up and missing time, and most of the time all against 8 or 9 in the box, due to Orton's absolute zero chance of being a passing threat. With Grossman, the Bears at least have the threat of throwing downfield, it doesn't matter if they complete them or not. Their safeties will have to stay honest, and as a result Thomas Jones may only have to face the front 7 for once. They also have a competant backup in Peterson (400 yards, 5.1 yd/car) and Benson, though in limited reps. Will be low scoring and won in the trenches once again. Chicago's lines dominated last time, and the winner up front should be the winner of the game.

Now this was a great weekend.
Patriots dethroned? Check. Colts knocked out? Check. Seahawks finally getting a playoff win? Check. Me looking smart for not jumping on the Bears bandwagon? Check. Respect for the disrespected (ie: Denver and Pittsburgh)? ... ... Actually, some analysts are still dogging them. This is the best Championship round I've seen in awhile. Of the four remaining teams, I only moderately dislike 1 of them (Damn the Panthers for knocking out the G-men). I'll be rooting for the Seahawks as they're one of my favorite teams. But I won't be angry with any one of the teams winning it all. As for a prediction on who's getting a ticket to Detroit, both games will be close, and I wouldn't be surprised to see any of the teams upset the other one, as all 4 teams are pretty evenly matched. But I think we'll be watching a Seattle - Pittsburgh Super Bowl come February 5th.

Stupid Steve Smith. Stupid Bears Defense not showing up to play. If you told me before the game started that the Bears were going to score 21 points, I would have put any amount of money on them winning. If the Bears D didn't roll over and play dead every time the Panthers got the ball. One measley sack... that was pathetic. I'm disgusted.

wow, today's games were great. the panthers looked really good out there and the steelers looked just like the chargers of a few weeks ago in indy. seattle vs. carolina is gonna be awesome but that ones tough to predict really. denver and pitt........honestly, im rooting against the steelers since im a bengals fan. however, they played remarkably today. im still bitter about the cincy-pitt game, but hey, what can you do when the teams star goes down early.

I'm glad that somebody started a playoff thread while i was out of town
I recently won two bets with the denver and pittsburgh victories but lost with the chicago/carolina game and as for next week's games Denver vs. Pittsburgh -The coaches on both sides are great, Steelers went and took appropriate action for preparing against the Colts, and showing that they are still a force, however Denver is a team without all stars, as I said in a previous thread they are just a team, and a good one at that. As for My prediction I believe Denver will win if their defense shows up, because in all the games they have lost they defense wasn't up to snuff, also as long as Jake Plummer keeps his cool (like in the Pats game), because when Denver lost to Kansas City it was because Plummer threw hasty three throws which resulted in interceptions (when he was under no pressure). Seahawks vs. Panthers -Right now I'm getting the feeling it's up for grabs, but I'm saying Panthers, because they scored 29 points against the toughest defense out there, and they have a really strong defense themselves. Also they Did a good job shutting down Tiki Barber, and the Seahawks are a team dependant on running like the Giants were. -------------------- "Have you ever seen a baby do that before?" |

Ok 5-2 so far in this playoffs...but damnit I wish I kept Steve Smith on my fantasy playoff team instead of getting rid of him to get Shaun Alexander.
Squeelers vs. Broncos - Battle of the Giant Killers, the Broncos who knocked out the defending champions and the Steelers beat the best team in the NFL...wow. I still hate the Steelers with passion but of course I have no love for the Broncos (thanks to the "Drive" and the "Fumble"...damn you Elway). The Steelers gave the Colts every chance to win or at least tie that game which is not what a true champion team does, they finish off a team which the Broncos did to the Pats. I think this game could go either way as both teams are very similar. I am going to shoot from the hip and predict...and hope that the Broncos will win. If they attack Rothlesberger like they did Brady there will be alot of interceptions, the key (for both teams) is to stop the running game. Broncos 27 - Steelers 23 Panthers vs. Seahawks - This could be a better game then the actually Super Bowl and I hate to see either team lose this one. Carolina's defense better play much better against the Seahawks then they did against the Bears or the 'hawks will put up about 40 points. Alexander, of course, is a wild card now and one good hit and he is out of the game. But Hasselbeck proved that he can carry the team and the 'hawks have a capable backup RB in Morris. Don't be surprised to see Steve Smith double teamed after the type of games he has had the last couple of weeks, yet the Panthers still have other very good WR and TE. Losing Foster could hurt them but Goings is still a good back. The Seahawks though still have too much weapons and if Alexander and Hasselbeck get hot, it will be too much for the Panthers. Seahawks 30 - Panthers 26 Also I pray that this week no teams whine and play the "we get no respect" card. Three teams have already done it this postseason, Jacksonville, New England, and Chicago and look what happened to them.

Wish I could have posted here while Chicago was still in... basically I've been laughing at them for expecting to win playoff games with an overrated defense and a total lack of offense.
I'm sittin' at 7-1 right now, of course I guessed Indy over Steelers. Pretty much everything else has made sense in this playoffs. In the AFC the Pats win at home as usual, but fail on the road vs the superior Broncos. Steelers peaking at the right time fly by game 1, although I am surprised they beat Colts still... In the NFC the overrated Giants and their baby QB get beaten, although by more than I could have hoped for. Panthers win an easy game. Seattle winning seemed obvious enough and the Bears... well they were the luckiest team in the NFL this season and still didn't manage a great record... of course they lost. Next round... Steelers don't match up well vs Denver... good run, but they're done. Seattle... they need to pull their heads out of their asses this game, but after learning how to win in the playoffs, they should do it again. |

Time for today's games.
Steelers vs. Broncos Again, I feel bad picking against the Broncos, since I feel they've been an underrated team all year and think they should get more respect. Yet I keep picking them to lose, mainly because I finally think it's the Steelers time. Rothlisburger is playing as well as any QB in the league, and the defense is killing people. I don't think Plummer will be able to handle blitzburgh. Steelers 23- Broncos 13 Seahawks vs. Panthers I want the Panthers to lose out of revenge, but I'm forced to concede that they're playing the football all the experts predicted they'd play at the beginning of the season. The Seahawks have a solid team, but I think they're more vulnerable than they're record indicates. I think the Panthers can do something against them, especially on offense. Don't underestimate Goings, he would be a starter on at least ten teams in the NFL.

I had the Steelers and Panthers. And actually Gears, I'd much rather have the Panthers blow out the Hawks and win the Super Bowl, because "Hey, we only lost to the Super Bowl Champions, not a bad loss."

Time to make the last football pick of the season.
I want to pick the Seahawks. They have a great offense, an underrated defense, and haven't lost a meaningful game since week 5. They have a chip on their shoulder, since they're somehow the underdogs in a 1 seed vs. 6 seed Super Bowl. Holmgreen, for as much as I think he's an egotistical jerk, is one of the best strategic coaches in the NFL. All the hype is surrounding Pittsburgh, and I think the Seahawks are going to come in relaxed and stick it to the Steelers early. This Super Bowl reminds me a lot of Packers-Broncos, when Holmgren was on the side with all the hype and the Broncos pulled the upset. But...I think this is the Steelers year. I just can't believe this team won't get it done for Bettis and Cowher. They're too talented a group. Rothlisburger is playing out of his mind, and there are so many playmakers on both sides of the ball, I think they can afford to have less perfect of a game than the Seahawks and still pull the win out. I want to give the Seahawks the nod, this is the most trouble I've had picking a Super Bowl in years (probably since Rams-Titans,) but I'm leaning towards the Steelers.

I gotta go with the Bus, Big Ben, and the Steelers. I love Big Ben, how everyone has continually tried to label him as never amounting to anything more than a "caretaker quarterback", and yet he just keeps proving them all wrong. He's finally getting some DAP now though, which is good for him.
I don't see any reason why he can't go on and be a great QUARTERBACK in this league. His poise and maturity is uncanny. Bettis will score 2 TDs.

Wow. What happened to "The Steelers don't have a prayer"? I pretty sure you're the delusional idiot. And now you're in love with Big Ben? Go figure.
Well, I'm from Pittsburgh, and I can tell you the're going to win tommorrow. Aside from everything else, the Steelers are just in the right mentality at this point. They are kepping there underdog road mentality, despite the fact that they are favored, and they will stop at nothing to come out on top. Oh, and the Seahawks are from the NFC. Enough said.

Okay, discussion question: Whose clock management was worse; this year's Seahawks, or last year's Eagles? I gotta go with the Seahawks. Even though the Eagles might have had a shot to tie with better clock management, the Seahawks screwed up at the end of BOTH halves. The end of that game would have looked very different if the Hawks had even a field goal at the end of the first half.
I'm glad the Steelers won, though.

i agree with you gears. seattle's clock management, especially at the end of the 1st half, was terrible. as much as i hate the steelers, ive gotta give em props, they played pretty good despite their QB having the jitters most of the game. i was rootin for the hawks, oh well....i am also glad that the bus got a title. hes a great player and he definitely deserved it.
looking ahead to next year, hopefully cincy can bounce back. im sure theyll have a good shot if carson palmer is healthy ![]() ![]() -------------------- "The answer is, of course, that it would be best to be both loved and feared.
