(Official) NFL PLAYOFFS (Thread)

Teams are locked:

NFC:
1.) Chicago
2.) New Orleans
3.) Philly
4.) Seattle
5.) Dallas
6.) NYG

AFC:
1.) San Diego
2.) Baltimore
3.) Indy
4.) New England
5.) NYJ
6.) KC

Wild card round:
NYG vs. Philly
Dallas vs. Seattle
KC v. Indy
NYJ v. New England

NFL rules require that the highest seed always plays the lowest seed and teams are reseeded after the Wild Card round. For example, if the Giants upsets Philly, they would play the Bears, and if the top seeds only win, the Bears would draw Seattle.

if you ask me, in the NFC, things dont really matter. but in the AFC, things are exciting. games get close, awesome plays are made more often, this especially in the playoffs, sure the NFC has good teams, but not as much as the afc. and, guys like the giants, who are .500 and are still in the playoffs, it just shows to many that the NFC is not really as exciting as the AFC is, which makes AFC playoff matches more excting.

^ I think that there are a couple of NFC teams that (if playing at home) could handle the AFC, and I think that all of these teams, if they play to full potential, could put up with the AFC anyday.

I'm starting to disbelieve in the Bears, Grossman was terrible Sunday night, and Griese didn't look much better, but they never were my SB bid anyway. I still think Brees and the Saints will represent the NFC, and Ravens in the AFC.

Saints for these reasons:
- The Bears D is beggining to break down
- It looks like they'll end up playing Philly, who's defense has come up strong lately, but I don't think they'll be able to contain an actual offensive powerhouse. If they do end up playing Dallas/Seattle, then I believe that just makes everything easier; Dallas is on a serious skid, and Romo's trying to find the "magic" he had in hsi first few starts. Seattle does not have any of the CBs they started with this season, it's a whole new repitoire of starters, and their #4 has moved up to #1.
- DUUUUUUUUUECE

The Ravens will represent hte AFC for the following reasons:
- Their defense is designed to stop the run first, and that's what they did against the Chargers the first time, shut down LT for 2 or 3 drives and the game is theirs.
- If they play anyone but Kansas City (which can't happen) divisional weekend, they shall implode them by shoving the ball down Maroney/Dillon/Washington/Barlow/Addai's throat, and then continuing to pound the living hell out of Peyton/Tom/Chad and rattle them senseless.
- Defense
- Air McNair
- It's 2000 all over again....but better.

Right now for my Superbowl picks, I'm going with Saints and the Ravens as well. Both teams look better than the teams that are 1st seeded to me right now, and the ravens have already beat the Chargers this season. And for the reasons Andre posted.

This guy is very smart. I like him.

For the AFC, it's easy: Baltimore. For the NFC, it's a bit tougher. But I'll still go with New Orleans. -CSM

Maximum Spider · 01-02-2007, 09:44 PM

same. funny thing is, you once said a while back that the bears wold be in trouble with a grossman problem, and now, that might be a problem for the bears, so if they make the super bowl, they'll defenately lose.

**Perrin Aybara** · 01-03-2007, 12:03 AM

I have another reason to pick Baltimore:

HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAP!!!!!!!

Woo! Let's go Baltimore!!!

(Although you have to pronounce it right. Bal-mer.)

Wow, it's so refreshing to have a local sports team to root for in the playoffs again.

Really? That's cool. Although I didn't know that grown men still needed to be dressed. Do they also get fed with a bib?

Sorry, lame joke. I know what you mean. Pretty cool. Can she get me any super cool autographs or jerseys or anything?-jay

**Crazyswordsman** · 01-03-2007, 03:29 PM

She got me a football signed by Brian Billick, Ray Lewis, and Ed Reed, so maybe. -CSM
