Which game are you most looking forward to on Wild Card Weekend? (Poll)

[Patsfanin Philly]

Seattle at Minnesota, easily. As Jim Ross used to say, this game is going to be a good, old fashioned slobber-knocker. The game time temp will be -10 which means that ball is going to be as hard as a rock. Two stout running games vs. two stout defenses in a slugfest. Give me some of that.

And a perfect game to measure the ball's PSI...if they had the guts...................

Any radio or television station could do a PSI check and publicize it. It's embarrassing that neither of the local sports radio stations has done it here in New England.

NFL won’t say whether PSI will be tested in Minnesota on Sunday

Florio posted about it this morning and with NBC doing the Minn-Sea, it would the game to do it but there is no way they kill the golden goose ( and worry that next year's SNF would be Clev-Det -esque type games) every week by daring to challenge the NFL by showing them up......

EDIT- read the comments section on PFT, overwhelmingly in support of Brady and the Patriots, and I can't believe they're all Pats fan

I voted Pittsburgh v. Cincinnati as that one will have the most impact on who we play the following week, but both of the AFC tilts are interesting to me as I don't think I've seen Kansas City play this year (as my husband mentioned, have they even been on national TV this year?) and I want to see them. I'm also interested in Seattle v. Minnesota as the weather is supposed to be brutal and I am interested in whether our foe last year moves on. Greenbay v. Washington is the least interesting to me, but who am I kidding, I'll still watch.

Glad I can sit back & watch football without having a dog in the hunt. Should be a fun weekend!

Nah, then it would keep that dead issue alive for everyone. Anyone who's being honest with themselves knows the Patriots did nothing wrong and the NFL made up evidence against them. I'd rather move on and not hear about PSI any more. Of course they are not testing the balls in MN. They know the outcome won't be good for them.

Got plans for Sunday and zero regrets at missing games. Never had less interest than I do now thanks to NYJFL antics.

The issue's in the courts, because the NFL wouldn't let it die, so it's clearly not dead. Having the readings show the drops over the course of the year would have already ended this in the court of public opinion. WEEI and 98.5 dropped the ball on this (pun intended), as did the national outlets.

Deangelo Williams is reportedly out for the Steelers/Bengals game:

DeAngelo Williams will miss tomorrow’s game against the Bengals, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. That leaves the Steelers, who already have Le’Veon Bell on injured reserve, down to Fitzgerald Toussaint and Jordan Todman at running back.

DeAngelo Williams out Saturday, could play next weekend

Pitts-Cincy. McCarron has a more than a little bit of moxie and his team is better than Big Ben's. Would hate to see Cincy win, because I give KC/Hou virtually no chance to win in Denver, but it wouldn't surprise me.

Why don't you give KC a chance to win in Denver? In week 2 at home, they literally gave that game away and lost by a touchdown. In week 10 at Denver, the Chiefs blew them out 29-13. They were up 29-0 before Denver scored two garbage time TD in the last 5:27 of the game. KC can absolutely win in Denver. They might not, but they obviously CAN.

People here, and elsewhere, are seriously underrating that Chiefs team.

Dont think it will happen but I will have fun rooting for:

Vikings, Wash, Pitt and Hou

going to be an uphill battle but should be fun.

I put no stock in that 29-13 game. Manning played one of the worst games any QB has ever played and the errors were unforced. It was sort of like that 2009 Pats-Ravens playoff game. Just don't see him playing that way again and if he does, they will quickly insert Osweiler.

Outside of that, KC has beaten a bunch of trash teams on their current run:

Lions, the Landry Jones Steelers, 2x Chargers, 2x Raiders, Browns, Ravens, Bills

Winning in Denver in the playoffs takes a very mentally tough outfit. That crowd and altitude start to take over in the 4th quarter. Kansas City under Reid and Smith has been exactly the opposite of "mentally tough."

I'm excited for all the games, for once I won't miss any for drill. Marching in vet parade got me half a drill off . That was an easy time frame to pick.

 

[PATSYLICIOUS]

I'm surprised you all voted Cincy Pitt. Haven't you learned that Cincy will likely just blow it again?

I agree not much faith in cincy there, but I caught a glimpse of their Last game and there were mad fights. Looks like it should at least be a pretty intense game I see a nice feud developing here.
