NFL Playoffs - Round 2

[BSully828]

Now the REAL games start, and they're some pretty good matchups alright.

VS
Broncos are undefeated at home and tore up the Pats earlier in the year - but the Pats are a much better team than they were in October. Also, Belichek is something like 6-1 when facing a team for the second time in a season after losing to them in the first game - call me a homer but I like our chances
27 - 24 New England

VS
I'm not buying the idea that the Colts are too rested, or too upset about what happened to Dungey's son. It will be a slugfest but I see Peyton throwing for one, Edge running for one and the D returning one. This will also set up the greatest AFC Championship game in ages.
21 - 10 Indy

VS

Dr. Sully's upset pick of the week. Chicago took it to the Panthers earlier in the season but I see Steve Smith, and not Deshaun Foster, having a big day - 100+ yds and a touch.
17 - 7 Carolina

VS

Seattle is going to roll in this one. 'Skins D was on fire last week but the Seahawks have a much much MUCH bigger home field advantage than the Bucs. The crowd will be loud, Alexander scores twice, the defense shuts down Portis and buries Brunell into the ground.
21 - 3 Seattle


And i just booked my flight/hotel in Denver for Saturday, seats in section 201. Any fellow [ms]'ers and Bronco fans here going to the game up for some tailgating?

Re: NFL Playoffs - Round 2

Being an AFC guy this weekends games are going to be off the hook... Pats/Broncos by far the best game on the ticket.... Now that the Bengals are out I can sit and enjoy the games without getting over excited. Would have loved to see Cincy with a healthy Carson Palmer play Denver.

Re: NFL Playoffs - Round 2

broncos over patriots
colts over steelers
bears over panthers
seahawks over redskins

some of that may be wishful thinking, but thats they way id like the results to go

GO SEAHAWKS!

Re: NFL Playoffs - Round 2

Better enjoy the Seahawks success... Our local boy Alexander won't be there next year unless there's some kind of miracle change of heart. Should be the Seahawks and Colts in the Super Bowl but both the Broncos and Pats are awfully, awfully good... Going to be a good weekend.

COLTS ARE GOING TO TAKE IT ALL!!!! I have been watching the colts here at home since they arrived in '85... This year is ours!

He has a lot of resentment towards management about last year.... you know, 1 yard short of the NFL rushing title (he got pulled early in the second half of the last game), their unwillingness to discuss long term deal or new contract etc... That, and after this season they would have to pay him a ridiculous amount of money for him to stay. He holds all the chips in the game and word is he wants out.

arnt you mad they didnt change the name/jerseys/records/traditions from the old baltimore colts? it is for that reason alone why they will never win a superbowl. And it wasn't 85, it was '84. March of '84. i hate how the colts market the players of the past who were in baltimore and act like they had anything to do with indy. i'm suprised they dont call the rca dome memorial staduim.

pats over broncos - the patriots are going to win it all again this year and shannahan is overrated.
indy over pitt - pittsburg's style of play is too slow for the turf of the rca dome.
panthers over bears - the panthers are rolling after that beating they gave to the giants, and the bears don't have an offense that cna generate anything agaisnt the panthers d.
washington over seattle - how many times have i picked seattle in big games and gotten burned? well they need to win a meaninful game ONE TIME, before i can pick them again.

the real superbowl will be the afc champsionship game between the pats and indy.

Re: NFL Playoffs - Round 2

^^^ That's right it was '84... wow how time flies when you are losing!

GO HORSE - That was last years saying and probably why we didn't win last year... Between the Indianapolis Pacers and the Colts I have been pulling my hair out waiting for a championship and each year I have been disappointed. This is the year - and I could careless if they win the superbowl without having to play the pats. I just want a title and that is it!

Re: NFL Playoffs - Round 2

right on. if my team was in the playoffs this year (which they are not 3rd place afc north) i would be praying they dont play the pats this year. this will be the year where bellicheck (sp?) becomes immmortalized.

Add Tom Brady to that list if it shakes out.. You can put in a game plan and draw up the plays but someone has to execute them.

Re: NFL Playoffs - Round 2

i would dare to say that 3 titles in 4 years pretty much has immortalized them already :P

Re: NFL Playoffs - Round 2

but winning another after losing both coordinators and a few vets while your star RB has been out for half the season and they were pulling guys off the streets of boston to play in there secondary i think just puts it over the top.
