I gotta give NE props...they didn't just beat the colts...but they dominated them. Now it's going to be the #1 defense vs #2 defense....#1 seed vs #2 seed...the way it's supposed to be! It's gonna be a great game on both sides with the NFC and AFC. The road to the superbowl goes through PA either way!
|
just like it did in 2002 :) it should be a great game (same on the other side of the bracket) and i cant wait, win or lose as long as both teams play well and exciting ill be happy. i hope to go down for the game if i can get/afford tickets
|
go down for what game? If you're talking about the pit vs ne game...good luck getting tickets ANYWHERE near face value lol. Same with the superbowl though. I'm recording this game because no matter what the outcome is...it's going to be an instant classic!

marino did it by himself mostly. not to mention he played in probably the toughest division in the league. the defenses could queue in on him, knowing that the team had little running game, and he would still pick them apart. oh, and yeah, Montana is great, that's why he had set all the records marino had destroyed in his playing time. i honestly didn't see in anything in Montana...nothing special at least. it's easy for a quarterback when you've got talent at all the necessary positions *cough* tom brady *cough*. |
I hate the Patriots, I hope they get their :bleep: handed to them either in the AFC Champ. game or in the SB.

Well, I was 3 for 4 last week, so maybe I'll be perfect this week. Here are my predictions for this week coming up. Trust me, this is not what I WANT to happen, only what I THINK will happen:

gimme the steelers and the falcons. gotta stay true to my original super bowl pick.

Man, I hope so. |

how about *cough* peyton manning *cough* he has a more talented group of WRs then anyone. and his running back. i dont know why anyone ever thinks of brady as a hot shot. his stats arent bad, not great either, but since football is a team sport, who cares who has the best stats? the superbowl rings are really all that matters in a team sport superbowl mvps and victories > any record or mvp trophy |

i'm not saying brady is a hot shot, i'm just saying i'm not going to be so quick to say he's so great like people were doing 1-2 years ago and some still, until he gets put on a team where he is required to perform to a high standard week in/ week out without much help. Quote:

Even though Brady's numbers were not great, he managed to almost always convert a 3rd and long. That was the difference between Manning and Brady. The Pats D was on the ball so quickly. They dominated the Colts from the first kickoff to the end. I would have to say the the SB will be Eagles and Pats.
If the Pats D plays like they did yesterday, I don't see any team beating them. |

anyone see bruschi's hit/rip of the ball away from rhodes? thats what i like to see in the playoffs :metal: . to me it seemed the colts gave up on the run way too early, and trying to forcw passes is cold slippery weather just got the best of them sidenote: reading the boston globe today, all the patriots had nothing but good things to say about the colts. i know no one cares, but it makes me proud that the team i cheer for doesnt overlook opponents, look ahead of the next game or get too ****y |

You look like a genius today!!!!! |

I hope the opposite of what you predict happens. I would like to see Cowher get his ring and reward the Steelers for their loyalty to him. |

Honestly, I really have no justifiable reason. I just don't like them as a team. I like Dillon, I like Law, I think Coach Bill is one of the best ever, but they are just a boring team to watch. They don't do anything spectacular, they just flat out win (which works, so I'm not saying its a bad thing). I give them kudos for beating the Colts, I didn't think they would. But there is no reason I don't like them, other than the fact that I just don't like them. |
I hate tom brady I pick him 2 years in a row for fantasy football he performs average all yaer then kicks ass in the playoffs AFTER my fantasy league is over :mad:

Brady may not have numbers like manning, but he has proven he is cool under pressure. For proof look at the past few playoff games before this year where he ran the two minute drill to perfection leading to winning drives. Especially in the 2 super bowls. Vinatieri should have been MVP of atleast one of those super bowls but Brady did run the two mintue drill calling the plays and adjusting on the line to get clsoe enough for Vinatieri to make the kicks, so he has proven himself in tight spots. Until it can be shown otherwise I am going to have to agree with the analysts (sp?) that he is that good. I know the defense helps but baltimore had a great D and hey still couldnt win it all this year or last, so you have to have a QB who can make the plays when it counts.

Ok, well I'm gonna stick my nose in this thread and give my picks for this weekend. First of all, the Pats are playing in Pittsburgh this weekend. The fact that the Steelers didn't look so good last week and got pretty lucky when it came to the missed field goals doesn't hold any weight. I think they'll realize their mistakes and fix them before gametime. The Pats match up a lot better with the Steelers, and I honestly think the Pittsburgh defense will shut down Dillon. I'm just worried about our DB's keeping up with the Pat receivers and Brady's spot on passing. I know Ty Law will be out, but Ben and his receivers need to get their communication back...especially Plax. The Steelers are 3 point underdogs, and that's understandable from last week's performance. I say Steelers will win 24-17.
The Eagles are without TO, but they're still a solid team. However, I honestly don't know if they can keep up with the Falcons team that showed up to play last week. On the other hand, the BAD Falcons team that likes to show its ugly head from time to time (like the shutout against the Bucs) might show up, too. It all depends on that. If the Falcons come to play, I'm calling it for them 34-24. If the other bad Falcons team shows with a bad Mike Vick, then the Eagles will take it 31-13. |
my official picks and i wont offer any reasoning whatsoever...
pats over steelers (barely) falcons over eagles then the superbowl: falcons over pats by a TD |
^^ :wtf
You're really picking against your Pats?? That's the first time I've seen you do that! Even when they were up against the Colts, you said you wouldn't be surprised if they lost, but you were still picking them to win. lol |

im just a mixed up bowl of emotions and predictions. im dangerous, loose cannon.... call me maverick sorry for the weird ramble, just had a couple and watched top gun :ec: lol |
Phiadelphia Eagles 13, Atlanta Falcons 10
Pittsburg Steelers 35, New England Patriots 24 ----- Eagles 23, Steelers 21 |
wow thats a high scoring prediction for the steelers vs pats, the best 2 defenses left
|
Pats 24 Steelers 10
Eagles 17 Falcons 13 I want the falcons to win but i dont see it happening |
Quote:
as for me, i predicted the steelers over the falcons back in November, so i'm going to stay with those picks. i really suck at picking scores, so here goes: Falcons 24, Eagles 21 Steelers 26, Patriots 19 |
No way the Falcons beat the Eagles. Well it is possible because well....it's the Eagles, but I don't see it happening. The Eagles are a better team all around. There is no way the Falcons receivers will match up to the Eagles pro bowl secondary. They'll just stack the line and have kearse spy vick. Very similar to what the bucs do against them. The Falcons got a cake team in the Rams. I know the Eagles didn't play the greatest of opponents but they were still much better than the Rams. Any reason the ones picking against the Eagles are doing so???

plus i like michael vick and he's somewhat of a local guy, so i pull for the falcons moreso than the eagles. |
im picking the falcons because of their speed and attitude
and elim i think my pick was the seahawks would go to the superbowl.... something craaaaaazy like that |
elim...nothing like picking it apart line by line...lol I cant wait to see these games both should be close physical matches between great teams.

My roommate just got a ticket to the Steelers/Pats game 22 rows up on the 35 yard line for $95. I told him to go f*** himself. One of his friend's uncles has season tickets and had one person not able to go to the game. So the uncle gave it to my roommate's friend, who in turn basically gave away the $700 ticket to my roommate for $95...
I'll be sitting in front of the TV on my nice, warm, cozy couch while drinking many a beer. He can freeze his ass off for all I care.... :rage: |
