what is our playoff schedule like?

[patsrulenfl]

Interesting opinion. Why do you think Kc has a better shot? Because it's divisional is the only reason I can think of. I don't see how Kc has better matchups than Pitt.

Pitts defense is horrible, their only good unit is their passing game. They also will struggle to run with their #1 running back probably out for the playoffs. Denver won't even care for the run, they will try to stop the pass and Denver's passing defense is pretty good. Ben threw several picks against the Browns, now imagine the Broncos secondary.

KC on the other hand has a much balanced offense and very good defense which will dominate the Denver Oline. They have the familiarity of knowing how to play Denver and Peyton.

Why does everyone think the Steelers are gonna win at Cincy? Steelers lost to the Ravens and Ben was not very good today against the Browns. If not for the Jest collapse they wouldn't even be in the playoffs. I think Cincy wins and comes to NE and KC goes to Denver. KC has a much better shot of defeating Denver than Pitts.

I don't think Cincy can win a game when it matters the most.

I'm not guaranteeing or anything but I'll stick with the trend of Cincinnati not winning big time games.

I don't think past playoff results have any bearing on this year's playoffs.

Ben threw for 380 yards on 40/55 for 3 TD's vs Denver. And yes with 2 int's. That was 2 weeks ago so don't have to imagine.

Obviously not. Trends are still trends and Cincinnati had lost all their prime time games this year.

Some things can be argued. But Cincinnati being a prime time player isn't one of them until it actually happens.

I'd say one playoff game.

So will this schedule be released after the game? I thought they normally did it at halftime?

They have in the past 4 years but I think with the NFC having 3 different possible wild card scenarios depending on if GB wins,Min wins or game is a draw. They have to wait till after the game to announce the schedule.

Do you think it will be right after or am I watching Minn throw up everywhere for nothing?

Yea, that was in Pittsburgh. And Pitts is not a juggernaut on the road that too against a good defense in Denver.

I still believe KC has the best shot of taking out Denver before NE.

This where we differ I don't think KC gets the shot at Denver. I think Pittsburgh beats Cincy by 10 points.

Well we will see. Whatever happens, hope the Pats gets healthy and get to the SB. I would have to go into hiding if Peyton guides the Broncos to a SB victory and then retires.

 

[festy1986]

OMG **** yes. I wanted that 8 o'clock game so bad.

NBC showed Saturday the 16th at 4:35. Haven't seen it confirmed yet at NFL.com.

Ben was not very good today against the Browns.

If by "not very good today" you mean a 102.9 QB rating with 349 yards, 3 touchdowns, then....okay?

He did throw 2 picks, which is rather normal for those gunslinger types.

Well you are that blind it's at 430 on Saturday
