I read the article but couldn't find the part about Brady going down for the playoffs in the first quarter of the playoffs......

It's a stupid title for an article. Bottom line: the AFC is a lot stronger than the NFC, that's really the only cogent point one can gather from such a statement.

The Redskins are terrible. That's just

FTA:

Quote:
The most compelling game in the playoffs likely will be in the AFC and in the second week: Patriots vs. Jacksonville. The Jaguars aren't on any kind of streak; they rested their starters and lost their season finale to Houston. The Jaguars have a lot of Philly and Baltimore nastiness in them.
Yeah. And that's why the Patriots lost to those teams...

Quote:
Jacksonville can throw the ball without making the kinds of mistakes the Patriots thrive on, and they can run it as well as any team in the playoffs.
Belichick v. unproven QB. Which side would you rather be on?

Quote:
Young bowling ball Maurice Jones-Drew and Fred Taylor, perhaps the least identifiable great back ever, is the tandem that could be the undoing of the Patriots' historic season.
Hide behind the word "could". Then when somebody brings it up after Washington gets bounced you can say "I never said that". Since when has a top tier running attack ever derailed the Patriots?!? I remember it being a crucial Tom Brady mistake against Denver and a superhuman passing effort by Peyton Manning.

The Patriots are 10 times the team that Washington is. Yes, the Patriots could do worse than Washington in the playoffs. Yes, I could be struck by lightning before I finish this post.

"Could" is a troublesome word, but it is very useful for columnists, because it allows them to say all kinds of idiotic nonsense, and then justify it by saying, "Well, anything can happen."

I'm getting really tired of people trying desperately to come up with ways to discredit the Patriots 16-0 season. They keep coming up with excuses such as "The Colts almost beat them", "The Eagles almost beat them", and "If Rex Ryan didn't call a time out, the Ravens would have beat them". Well guess what? Those teams didn't win. They cracked. A sign of a great team finds ways to win just like the Patriots showed us this year. No team is perfect, but the record indicates that the Patriots are. So far, no team has shown that they can beat the Patriots for 60 minutes. If the Pats win the superbowl, they are without a doubt the greatest team in NFL history.

I agree because AFC teams had won SB games in the past few years.

about this article, the author is a sport columnist for 'washington post' and Redskins is in Washington. You can see he is biased when writing his article. The fact is every sport columnist thinks his team will defeat Pats. Go figure.!

56-7 was the score which Redskins lost. It's historically fact and i'm suprised he did not mention it in his article.

Don't the Jaguars have to beat the Steelers IN Pittsburgh first?? Or do they not bother to play the game? They just give them the win?? I don't understand this article?

True enough about Wilbon being an author for the Washington Post, but he is much more than that. He was (is?) on PTI and is a talking head on ESPN.
