It's easy, and only takes a few moments.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.
Belichick v. unproven QB. Which side would you rather be on?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.
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.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.
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.
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. Every sport columnist thinks his team will defeat Pats.
56-7 was the score which Redskins lost. It's historically fact.
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.
crack kills
I don't understand this feeling at all. The Redskins, on paper, aren't bad. Aren't good either. Better than <i>some</i> 8-8/9-7 playoff teams of years past, worse than many teams that didn't make the playoffs and ultimately not very good at all.The skins are pretty strong for #6 seed in a pretty weak conference.
I think they are better than Seattle and I expect them to win the WC game.
I think they can pull an upset against Dallas especially if TO is less than 75%. Green Bay at Lambeau, I don't know about that.
Of course I expect the Pats to roll either Pitt or Jax, handle the Colts at home and manhandle whoever represents the NFC so, BS on the article title.
