I didnt say it was thier fault, but they still haven't proved that much. Atlanta wasn't playing very well when Seattle played them. As you said they lost to Jacksonville and Wash, and they didn't beat Dallas by much, why I said this Giants game will be a real tell tale for the Seahawks

FWIW, my picks, NFC championship game Chicago Vs Seattle Chicago wins with a smothering defense. AFC Championship Indianapolis and Cincinnati, replay of their last game, Cincy can't compete. So Superbowl Chicago Vs Indy, Hoosier folks are going nuts, my relatives are chainsawing the house apart, 1/2 are Bears fans 1/2 are Indy fans, the live right between in rennsaeler, in. I got Indy to take it all, but they will lose 1 game between now and then. mopowr79

^^^ I may be wrong, but I don't think it's possible for Indy and Cincy to meet in the AFC Championship game. Usually what happens when the Steelers and Colts make the playoffs is they end up playing each other before they get to the Championship game. Like I said, I could be wrong, though. Honestly, I don't think Cincy will win the AFC North. Not just because they're my team, but I think the Steelers will win the division and the Bengals will get the Wildcard draw.

Also, I'm going to go ahead and withdraw my picks for the Super Bowl. It's quite simply too hard to call right now. There are at least 4-5 teams in each conference that could easily be in the big game. I'll make my final predictions when the playoff teams and matchups are solidified.

Ian

taking the easy way out huh? lol

im still liking mine from the start of this thread

mopowr79, your my hero! that would be the best game ever. its my bears takin on my colts. even though i think that if manning doesnt win the super bowl this year he may never i would still go for my bears. i dont think we have the "o" to win. although baltimore won it against the giants with no o. it should be interesting.

you cant just withdraw your pic. your locked in. i guess you can change it.

heres a question for ya, who is the best team in the nfc?

toss up between carolina and seattle. i would say seattle, carolina is a little to unpredictable with their away games as the weather gets colder for me

nothing against your bears. i like the bears a lot, love the way they play. just my non-expert opinions :)

Ok, fine. I'll make a pic now. Colts or Steelers vs. Seahawks or Bears. lol

you know its bad when even the anouncer says there was no pass interference... they never disagree with the refs

damn patriots, worse yet i have brady in a fantasy league and all his throws are high.... take off the homo glove brady

well that was brady's worst game of the season by far... they gave up on their running too early, even tho they dont have much of one, you still have to try and run it now and then

Gah how do you get a holding penalty on the 30 forcing you back 10 yrds for a 53yd field goal to win when it should have been 43 :(

Vikings are 4-0 with Johnson...... it's going to come down to the last game of the season vs the Bears for the spot.

it is? :liar:

For Central, hells yea!

no way! the bears will win the division by atleast 2 games. then the last game they will put the hurt on mr.johnson. the only game that i think they might loose is against the steelers. but i will have to watch them tomarrow against the colts. green bay looks awful and farve will give up the ball way to much, atlanta sucks in the cold, and the vikings. . . well a 28-3 win against them in the 5th week seems to sum that up. the bears will win the division and the vikings will not make the playoffs. there a game behind all of the wild card teams right now. they wont catch up. it is too little too late. they will loose against pit, chi, and maybe even balt.

So happy Seattle won haha
Damn skins had me going till the 4th qt, man that drive home sucked.

You're probably right, but you're counting out the Vikes out too much. The defense has been top-notch for the last 4 games. Get a little more O going, and we've got a race going on.

and indy shows why they are undefeated. Made pitt look pretty sloppy tonight. I'd be very surprised if they weren't in the superbowl.

maybe they are? :)

whoa now...7-4 is better than 6-5:loser

The Colts make every team they play look sloppy. The Steelers didn't play as well as they should have tonight. Simply put, the offensive line lost us the game. They didn't want it bad enough and let the Colts' defense get through to Ben and stopped our run game. It's pretty bad when the O line can't protect their QB that is just coming off of knee surgery. If Ben doesn't get time to make plays happen and the run game doesn't get going, we don't win. The Colts did, however, make a ton of penalties tonight and made a few key mistakes. They aren't perfect, but they're damn good. The offense is extremely good, but not unstoppable. Peyton showed he is indeed the best QB in the league tonight. Unless a rogue team makes a run out of nowhere, I'm going to go ahead and say the Colts will beat the Seahawks in Super Bowl XL in Detroit on Feb. 6th...

not by much, and i think i remember this 7-4 team losing to another team that i like... can't remember who tho :iconfused ... who's ya daddy? :heh:

just playin everyone

playoff wins are the only important ones

pit has been struggling here as of late. if they win against cincy it will be huge for them. if not they will be looking at the wildcard.

i think i am going to change my mind about the colts. there going 19-0 this year! i think seattle isnt as great as i thought, and struggle too much against teams that are as good as them. the colts are far better. the chargers arnt going to stop them either. that game is going to be a shoot out. and i cant remember manning loosing a shootout. the rest of the teams they will mow over. and playing 3 dome post season games. who is going to stop them? the only team in the nfl that can beat the colts right now is. . . the cotls.

game of the week:
dal @ nyg. havent made that pick yet. i only missed 2 last week. and this week looks alot easier.

Woohoo!! Yeah, totally Colts all the way...... all the years that I stood by while they sucked to no end is finally paying off. I don't know about 19-0 but I sure wouldn't complain if it happened. They just seem unstoppable.

And Pittsburgh made some screwed up plays last night. I think what really lost it for them was the onside kick at the start of the second half. That pretty much lost the game for them right there. What a stupid play.

Oh well... bring on the Titans... can we say 12-0?? :)

See I'm still bitter over the colts running off in the middle of the night.
I think Seattle or Jacksonville can still ruin that 16-0 dream

I'd rather have Dallas win, but I think NY will pull that one out.

a colts fan in calf? now i have seen it all! juts kidding man! glad to see they have support on thre west coast. call me crazy but didnt the pats do something like that against the colts?
the only reason i say they will go 19-0 is because i dont think anyone can stop them. and when you ask someone that thinks they will be beat, and ask them who will beat the colts, they have no answer. i will not be surprised if they loose, but i will be even less surprised if they dont. i hope that made sence.

I am originally from Indianpolis... Nap Town homegrown. Lived there for 19 years. I've been a huge Colts fan since I was in diapers (okay maybe not quite THAT long). I hear what you're saying. I will not be surprised if they loose one, but will be even less suprised if they don't. I hope they don't but they sure seem unstoppable. I was really worried about the Cincy and the Pitt game..... but now those are now W's who knows... maybe they can pull this one off... SD will be tough as will Seattle but I think we can handle them. It would be so fantasic to even go to the Super Bowl (they should have went that year they lost to the Steelers in the AFC championship in 95 I think it was) but I would be estatic if they go all the way. GO HORSE!!!!

Sorry that the Colts left Baltimore........................... nah, no I'm not! :)

They'll walk over SD, won't even be a game. I really think Seattle will give them a run for thier money.

Eff you haha ;)

Ok, here we go...

1. 99GApunk, you couldn't be more right about the playoff wins. They are really all that matter. Pittsburgh always has a tough time with the Pats no matter what.

2. Metallman56, after watching the Colts last night, they are certainly the best team in the NFL, but no one is ever unstoppable. San Diego and Jacksonville both have a shot at beating them and the Seattle game is pretty much a preview of the Super Bowl in my eyes. Also, I would go with the Giants. They are due for a win and will be gunning for the Cowboys.

3. highwayprowlerz, the onsides kick at the start of the half wasn't a stupid move. It was Bill Cowher trying to do something out of the ordinary to get the Colts flustered and confused. The way that works is that if it works, he looks like a genious. If it doesn't, he looks like an ass. The latter happened. He knew his offense wasn't producing much, so he wanted to let the special teams try to make a big play. If it didn't work (which it didn't) then he was relying on the strong defense to take care of it. In the end, the Colts are simply the better team, but you can't blame a coach for trying stuff like that in big games.

4. A question for everyone... Do you think Dungy will rest his starters the last few games to get them ready for the playoffs, or because of his sense of history do you think he'll play through the season to go for the 16-0??? It's a very interesting question. If he pulls the starters in the last 2-3 games, the Colts have a VERY good shot at losing to the Chargers, (especially) the Seahawks, or even the Cardinals for that matter. What do you think?

a co-worker told me today that he heard dungy say that once they clinch home field advantage, he will pull the starters. i have mixed feelings. i uderstand that if someone goes down in the o it will be a huge loss, especially if its maninng. and the goal for ever team ever is to win the super bowl, not go undefeated. but to be the second team ever to do it, well you have to take the risk of not getting a ring. would i pull my starters? i would simply leave it up to the team. if they wanted me to leave them in, i would. if they wanted me to pull them, i would. i think it should be there call, no one elses.

i dont think the giants or seahawks are as good as i thought. after some thinking today in the nfc i like the bucs. and if you think thats dumb just wait till you hear this. i doubt atlanta will make the playoffs. although i will take the giants over the seahawks if it comes down to it. indy is the usc of the nfl. good luck trying to beat them. and dont give me the notre dame should have beat usc crap. because had notre dames speacial team unit not been so lucky, they would not had been in the game.

go ucla

I really think it should be up to the players, too, but unfortunately that's not really how it works at that level. Whatever Dungy says, goes. Manning has started every game for them for 6 or 7 years now. I just don't see how Dungy can justify pulling him or Edgerin James or any one of the receivers. I really think any of them not playing would mess up their rhythm and momentum. Basically, pulling them would be the smartest dumb move ever.

who cares about going undefeated, save your players.

how did the last undefeated team do in the playoffs?

oh and after 10 weeks of no one winning, the office pool was split by 3 people last week, all because two games that went into OT you would expect to be decided by field goals... actually came down to touchdowns

in the game of the week mentioned above, i pick dallas.
i will be at the stadium sunday watching the mediocre patriots play the J-E-T-S JETS JETS JETS... haha fock the jets i hate em

i too am leaning tword the cowboys. but the giants are great at home.

the pats should kill the jets. and no offense but i think i might hate the pats as much as you hate the j-e-t-s jets jets jets. and its not because they have won 3/4 super bowls. its b/c they played the bears in super bowl XX. ever since then i have hated the pats. sorry man. if it makes you feel any better i also hate the packers, vikings, skins, saints, raiders, ravens, browns, and jags. some more then others some for no good reason. thats just me. i dont mean to **** any one off or anything, again its just me. and if you hate the bears thats fine by me too. were all americans here, unless your a packer fan, and we can all get along.

Man I love the bears, thats one easy win every season ;)

F.O msjhtw. just kidding, yeah you lucked by us this year. that was a high scoring game too. i wish that we would see you in the playoffs though. thats one rematch i would love to see. also this is your 666 post. figures.

doesnt matter to me, i dont even mind most yankee fans, not even RAZE, because i like when people are passionate about sports

why would you hate the pats for that? its like they werent even there
i like the bears for the record

i dont know why i hate the pats for that. its just that they were in the way of our vicotry. i grew up hating them for no good reason and it just kinda stuck. i am sure i am not the only one who has ever done somthing like that.

also if my cubs and sox go down the red sox are my team. mainly cause i hate the yankees so the best way to show that is to like the red sox.

Really I don't hate any team but Dallas and the team we're facing that week. I really don't even mind philly that much

As would I, as it would mean we were in the playoffs haha

I'm really psyched about the colts... I couldn't believe the game against Pitsburgh. I really thought it would be a close game, and I figured the colts would win by one touch down in the end. It ended up just being a bloodbath.

I really doubted they'd make it threw New England, Cincinatti, and Pitsburgh undefeated. I really felt those 3 teams all had a good shot at stopping us, and we'd loose at least one. Honestly after watching the Cinncinatti game, I think they are the only ones in the NFL that could possibly stop us...they play almost identical to us! We basically won that game because Peyton slowed it down in the 4th quarter and took time off the clock. Peyton is the best quarterback of all time, not just because he can throw 80 yard touchdown passes, because he's the smartest, most competitive player I've ever seen. He knows howto win games.

Honestly I feel like if Cinncinati couldn't stop us, who could? I'm not even worried about the Jaguars. We beat 'em once, and the last time we beat them our offense wasn't alive yet. Our defense shut them down, keeping them only to 3 points. And after watching the Seattle/New York game, I don't think Seattle is as tough as they make them out to be. I know for a fact the Giants aren't as good as the Colts, and the Giants only lost that game due to their horrible kicker.

San Diego, well we beat them last year, we'll beat 'em again. Only team that can honestly stop us is ourselves. However If we are going to loose, lets get it out of the way. I'd love to have my team be only the 2nd team of all time to go undefeated, however I'd hate to not see them make the superbowl after the best season in their 20 year history in indianapolis. Wouldn't it suck to see them go undefeated then just choke in the playoffs? I gotta admit... I'm allready sweating it.
