d%#*!@t we play on Saturday. Now I'm going to have to take off work.

WOW Pats get first Saturday game in divisional round on NBC.

 

[obgod3]

I agree. I think Pitt is the only team that worries me. The other 4 teams I am confident we will beat. Big Ben has the pedigree of winning big games, and is a tough SOB. Add on top of that a very good RB, and great receivers. You have a recipe for a tough game. Their defense is nothing to right home about, but they are pretty good in the red zone. So if they hold us to FGs, they can beat us. I don't want to see Pitt.

I think NE can beat the Steelers in NE but it won't be easy, on the other hand I would love to see the Steelers take out Denver. Only because a one and done in Denver would be hilarious.

Sick we get the Saturday game on NBC.

Pats (hopefully) win that one and it's an extra day of rest before the AFC Championship game. Interesting it's a 4:35 start and not in prime time.

That's not bad the opponent will have a short week in effect. If they can't beat indy/bengals/ravens then...well

 

[Mark12]

I'm really shocked the Pats won't be playing on CBS.

On the bright side, we won't have to wait too long to see the game. Anxiety usually increments as other playoff games happen.

The Patriots are better than all those teams. If they can't beat those teams at Gillette then they have no business going to the SB.

How was that a fluke draft pick? They drafted him and developed him into a WR.

fluke in the sense that they didn't expect a 7th rounder to end up as great as he is. this is not something that happens a lot, obviously

 

[Froob]

Didn't realize Pitt is the #3 seed, it really is probably best Pittsburgh wins this one. Pittsburgh should beat Balt and head to Denver.

 

[PatsGirl2011]

I'm happy the Pats play on Saturday. Hopefully on Sunday the only question being asked is which team has to return to Foxboro to play in the AFC title game? I'm looking forward to the Dallas and Detroit game next weekend.

 

[Froob]

LOL what a play by Bernard pushing Dalton for the 1st. Bernard wouldn't let Dalton choke this one away.

 

[sb1]

Pats to host AFC Championship game on the 18th at 6:40, assuming the obvious.

 

[sb1]

Ben's trying to think of his next injury to play up for the cameras.

 

[upstater1]

This ref crew is very bad at spotting the ball. Twice in a row they gave Cincy bad spots.

 

[sb1]

Why are they kicking?

 

[PATSYLICIOUS]

Pitt's pass D is still largely untested. Only really good QB's they've faced are Luck (34 PA) and Brees (35 PA). And Brady had no problem picking apart their defense when it was elite.

 

[Halifax_Pats_Fan]

Go to the sticks Green....Duhhh...

 

[sb1]

LOL result was so predictable. Why would you try one from that distance in this stadium if your kicker hasn't made one yet?

 

[Its_The_Patriots]

Those Bengals.
