There is your AFC playoff teams folks... Pretty much a whose who of the past decade. The playoffs will be awesome this year.

NFC looks like Eagles, Saints, Falcons, Green Bay or Chicago or Bucs plus somone from the AFC West.

Nov 28th Bolts at Colts
Dec 5th Steelers at Ravens
Dec 6th Jets at Pats
Dec 9th Colts at Titans
Dec 12th Chiefs at Bolts
Dec 19th Jets at Steelers

A lot is going to get settled in the next 4 weekends in the AFC.
 
Pats need to take care of business against the Jets. It is the most must win game one can imagine out of the playoffs.
 
As of right now the Colts and Chargers are on the outside looking in. A lot can change between now and January though... man that would be an intense AFC playoffs.
 
Colts and Chargers are both out right now. Only one of them can win next week. Damn, that's gonna be a great game to watch!
 
The Cowboys VS Saints game will decide if the boys are a factor this year. Last year they beat us when we were badly injured and bragged about it. This is a personal fight.

OUT - Obvious
DNP - Did not practice
LIMITED - Limited participation in practice
FULL - Full participation in practice):

Cowboys:
OUT: TE Martellus Bennett (concussion), T Marc Colombo (ankle), S Pat Watkins (knee).
DNP: LB DeMarcus Ware (wrist, neck).
LIMITED: S Ken Hamlin (ankle).
FULL: RB Deon Anderson (knee), CB Terence Newman (knee), S Gerald Sensabaugh (thumb).

Saints:
DNP: DT Sedrick Ellis (knee), CB Jabari Greer (groin).
LIMITED: T Jermon Bushrod (thumb), G Jahri Evans (foot), LB Scott Fujita (knee), C Jonathan Goodwin (ankle), K Garrett Hartley (right hip), DE Bobby McCray (back), LB Marvin Mitchell (hamstring), G Carl Nicks (back), CB Tracy Porter (knee), TE Jeremy Shockey (toe), T Jon Stinchcomb (knee), RB Pierre Thomas (hip), LB Jonathan Vilma (knee), S Usama Young (hip).
FULL: RB Mike Bell (wrist, knee), WR Lance Moore (ankle, hamstring.

We need to win the next 3 games to be considered legitimate, but its important to see how the Saints deal with their anger against the Cowboys, who used their fake win against us to prove they are a legit team last year at every press conference, they were not cool about the win.

Will the boys win? Blow them out as they deserve, professionally, as they should because they're no better than the Bucs if not worse, or get emotional and lose it? A playoff team cant "lose it" in this situation and on a primetime stage. This games a test for us.

Yes we do ALP :) lol
Do, I think youll find things like Austin was covered by Jenkins for the the 1st 3 quarters ( a 1st year rookie) , Austin did well. Porter entered the end of the 3rd quarter, Austin was shut down. I think its silly to make things up, this takes some digging but accurate.

Pretty funny phrase. I like it! Very true.

Pats need to take care of business this Thanksgiving Day first. It blows my mind how everyone is brushing this game off. Three days, no practice, travel, players have no chance to heal from injuries.....DO NOT become over-confident. This game 'aint no 'gimme.
 
Everyone will be in the chargers bandwagon and with good reason.

How can folks not be on the Chargers bandwagon. Saw a graphic this am that since 2006, they are 121-0 in Nov, Dec and Jan (excluding playoffs) :p

Umm.. There is ONE day of Practice.. And that is today.

And the Lions are in the same boat since they had to travel on Sunday.

Also, your stereotyping of the fans here is pretty ludicrous. Most people are not taking this game lightly.
 
I am scared of the Chargers.

How can you not be? All that talent on both sides of the ball. They got their two biggest knuckleheads out of town (Merriman, LT). Rivers playing at a high level, his weapons coming back.

That is not a team anyone wants to play round 1 of the playoffs, I guarantee you that.

Same old story for years. Chargers are the regular-season champs, and the post-season chumps.

It's not outside the realm of possibility that that could change with LT gone. I'm still mostly okay with the idea of facing a Norv Turner-coached team in the playoffs, but Rivers is pretty scary.
 
I TOTALLY agree about not taking the Lions game for granted...it could be alot tougher than Patriot fans think......If Pats aren't careful, they could have another Cleveland moment...


Pats did a walkthru yesterday and practice today.....tommorrow they fly out to Detroit....not much prep for an away game.....


Bring their A game on Turkey Day and then players get a few days off while BB gets ready for THE GAME vs Jets at The Razor....

Rivers is their team and a great player. But I think the rest of their team is no better (and likely worse) than some of the "great" Chargers team from the past years. They're what, just above .500 in a rather poor division? I'm not buying it until I see a difference.

Denver's D is brutal and that was what was shown last night.
 
I don't think you guys have anything to worry about against the Lions. They're dangerous with Stafford, without him they're not. I hope for that fanbase's sake that he can stay healthy next year. He can turn that franchise around, but not if he's always on the sidelines.

Our game against the Bengals, I was worried about it until I found out that only 2 of their top 5 DBs will be playing on Thursday. They just signed a guy today that's going to start at corner on Thursday :eek:.

Then it's a long 10 days......
 
The Colts are 6-4, and the Chargers are 5-5. They face each other next week. Neither is any kind of shoe-in for the playoffs.
