Who do we root for this weekend?

[Kdo5]

Texans and Steelers. Probable set up for Steelers coming into Gillete in the AFCCG. I'll take our chances. Whatever puts Denver in the toughest matchup.

Playing Houston or Cincy in the divisional should be OK.

I am rooting for continued health improvements for Brady, Edelman, Vollmer, LaFell, Jones, Hightower, McCourty, Chung and everyone else who is banged-up right now.

If this team is healthy, I fear no one. And if this team isn't healthy, it doesn't really matter who we play.

Everyone's on the chiefs bandwagon right now. Berman has them in the superbowl.

Team I want the most is Houston.

The team that I "fear" the most is Cincy. The HC/QB does take a leak down their pants in the big stage, but that team is full of talent. They can present the most problems for us on both defense and offense.

If I'm Denver, the team I don't want to play in the divisional is KC.

Except: that QB that took that leak in big games over the last five years is not playing, A.J. McCarron will be playing QB for Cinci.

Just because Dalton played poorly in big games in the past doesn't necessarily mean he would this year, Dalton seemed to reach another level this year. And, I think most Cinci fans would prefer Dalton at QB, he is almost surely a more talented QB at this stage than McCarron.

However, if there is a criticism of McCarron it should be that he is too inexperienced or that he is unproven as a long term starting NFL QB. It should definitely NOT be that he takes a leak in big games, he played extremely well in the biggest games in college (really the bigger the game, the better he played), including of course the two BCS National Championship Games Alabama won. Of course the NFL is a different level and a different animal (more sophisticated defenses, etc.), so he college performance is not necessarily indicative of how he will play in a NFL playoff game. However, I would be very surprised if he shrinks from the spotlight, that has never been in his nature.

Lynch is playing. Not sure how well he will though

no he said he wont play.
Lynch downgraded, won't make return vs. Vikes

 

[SHOWTIME15]

Clowney is out per Rapaport

 

[50-yard-line]

Worst scenario would be for Houstona nd CIncy to win today, I think.

Cincy is a tough out and Denver will obliterate Houston, meaning that we'll be heading there if we move on.

I'm going to be routing for Houston and Pitt. I just wish the Pitt game was the first game because of Cincy wins, I would be routing for KC then, I don't want to have Denver play Houston, would rather either Pitt or KC to go there.

 

[captain stone]

Yeah I wish the PitsDirt @ Cincy game was first, so I can spend the entire game rooting for Cincy.

I absolutely feckin hate the squealers. They shouldn't even be in the POs at all, the scum.
