NFL Playoff Discussion (Other Teams)

Panthers beat them 31-28 on Nov 30. At the time it was the Rams 3rd loss. I think the Panthers will play a lot tougher that you do.

Yeah, Carolina won last time but giving McVay a second chance at that defense is bad news. By no means is Carolina a slouch, but it’s hard to beat a twice; especially in a playoff environment. I think that Rams offense explodes in a rout. They (should) double Tet, stop the run & dare Coker & “Leggette” to beat them.

Eagles will shut out the Niners on Sunday. Big win for the Eagles that most folks are not considering a contender.

I absolutely think Eagles could win it all again.
Most SB- winning teams are ranked highly in both Offense and Defense.
There are 2 teams in the AFC that fit that bill:
Patriots and Jaguars.
In the NFC, Rams,Eagles, Seahawks. To me, those are the 5 most legit SB contenders.
Also a team's current injury status and how strongly they finished regular season are the other 2 biggest factors.

I heard an interesting stat yesterday . Steelers have never lost on MNF since 1991 . Also i dont trust nick caley. I think the steelers can win in the cold vs a dome team. Way too much hype on houston.

I never really trust streaks that depend on things like day of the week or TV coverage.

I agree with you that the Steelers have a punchers chance, but DK Metcaff hasn’t really looked himself this year. I don’t think Steelers have anyone who can beat coverage quickly enough to keep Rodgers from getting blasted.

So for now while i think there should be 2 upsets... I only have 1.. Maybe GB is so bad and out of sorts they lose? IDK.

Green Bay is #7 seed, and you picked them to beat the #2 seed Bears. That would be an upset. You also picked the #6 seed 49ers to beat the #3 seed Eagles. That would also be an upset for a total of 2 upsets.

Yep. I think it might be a bigger blowout than that.

Yep. I think it might be a bigger blowout than that.

My gut tells me the same, but I just heard Carolina is getting their Pro Bowl guard Robert Hunt back for this game, so I think it may augment their running game just enough to let them stick around until Stat Paddford & Co. start to pull away down the stretch.

A month ago, I thought the Rams would roll to the SB. Now I’m not so sure. I think they’ll beat Carolina, but I don’t think it’ll be a blowout.

Fair. Crazy things do happen in the Wild Card round.

What’s the most intriguing matchup of the Wild Card round for you & why?..

Barfalo @ Jacksonville, because depending on how one answers this querstion: Would you rather see the Pats play Jacksonville or Houston next week, if there is indeed a next week, will determine how one wants this game to go... I myself will be hoping for a Billdos win so they can go to Denver and maybe pull off an upset, while we deal with, gulp, the Hottest team in the Entire League... Still, I'll take my chances with our offense vs Texans defense and hope that our defense & special olympics teams don't **** the ****ing bed completely vs their offense & STs.

 

[captain stone]

Yeah we're losing, especially now that Hampton's playing and Tonga isn't. Thanks Eliot & Matt!

 

[captain stone]

I am trying to pick at least 2 upsets. With 6 game there should be 2. I'm not sure which i think will happen.

I know the Eagles are a favorite... but as bad as their offense has been, i just don't know.

I can think of one...

 

[Uptown]

Yeah we're losing, especially now that Hampton's playing and Tonga isn't.

@captain stone Do you know how historically bad their OL is??? Imagine watching 5 Demontray Jacob’s blocking for NE…Yeah……

They’ve also had 25!!!! different OL combinations this season…….Yeah……

Also, Hampton may very well play, but he’s nowhere close to 100%…he probably isn’t even at 70%. Besides, Milton is back & Durden/Gregory have been playing well. I’d rather Big Tonga rest up & be ready for tougher matchups; assuming we win tomorrow night.

 

[Uptown]

This may low-key be the most underrated game of the weekend…

 

[Uptown]

Huge addition to an already excellent Denver defense.

 

[Pape]

LAR vs Car at 430 today?

least interesting game today... I am hoping the panthers can at least make it competitive...

hard to believe the Bucs just **** the bed and wound up losing the division tie breaker to the Panthers... they are not a good team...

though, i suppose i shouldn't be surprised that a Bowles led team **** the bed... guess he hasn't been able to get all that jete stank off of him...
