AFC Championship Predicitions.Follow

Keep dreamin'. New England is one of the best playoff teams to ever play. The matchup will contain the Steelers, but it won't be much of a game.

AFC- New England

NFC- Philly over the Rams.

The rams are going to bairly make the playoffs, bairly make it into the championship, and get crushed by the eagles.

New England will win it all. I would love to the steelers take it all though.

AFC: Steelers over Colts
NFC: Eagles over Falcons

Superbowl: Steelers





(Or the Jets =P)

Its all about the Colts, nothing else matters.

Patriots over Steelers - Coach Weisz(sp) of the Pats is saving the good plays for the playoffs, so if they look vanilla the remaining games of the season, that's why. The Steelers however have been opening up the playbook all year in order to get to where they are. You can use Jerome Bettis throwing a TD this past win as a reference. The Pats have also kept Deion Branch quiet as far as trick plays, but look for a few wrinkles with that speedster.

Philly over Falcons - I'm a big Vick fan, just because he reminds me of Steve Young in his prime and he's fun to watch,also Atlanta's defense has vastly improved this year. But Philly has been on point all season. McNabb hasn't had to over exert himself as much as past seasons, so look for him to explode in the playoffs. TO is having fun again, and there isn't a corner on Atlanta's roster than can match up with TO, so there will be double teams. And that means others will be open.

I think that Pittsburg will beat the Pats again on their way to a fifth franchise SB ring.

Shouldn't you be able to correctly spell the city you're a fan of?

Steelers over Pats.

I'm going to be pathetically optimistic and say...the JETS may actually make the playoffs!
That's all I really care about.

How the crap should I know? We only have the Amsterdam Admirals here. >.<

Oh well, American Foottball sucks anyway. Go play REAL football! (That's what you have named soccer.)

I like this. There is probablly no way in hell it will happen but it would be fun to see the chargers win the superbowl after the year they had last year. I will however be betting on steelers over pats, Cower deserves it.

You mean like the Jets did yesterday?

I agree. Everything is going well for them, and I don't think it is dumb luck, I think Pittsburgh is very good. It's nice to see Jerome Betis playing well.

After they beat the Pats, everyone was expecting them to let down vs. the Eagles. Didn't happen. Then everyone was expecting Ben Roethlisberger to play like a rookie and cost them a game or two. Didn't happen.

And that's why I don't think they will lose home field advantage to the Patriots. Even if the Steelers lose one of the remaining three, I think it's likely the Pats will also.

But come that AFC Championship game, the Patriots players will be at their best, and the Patriots coaches will have a game plan to befundle the Pittsburgh O. The Pats are full of clutch players. Never the league leaders in any statistics, the team they have this year is more talented than either of the last two Super Bowl Champions. And that's why a Patriots victory is a lock.

Who is the goofball that said not having Corey Dillion in the game the Steelers won didn't matter? Come on guy! Not having one of the best backs in the game today on the field "doesn't matter?" /boggle

Hah. I'd love that outcome as well. Um... Pretty darn unlikely though. While the Chargers are playing remarkably well, and haven't yet hit their "Oh hell. Nothings working anymore" phase, I'm a die hard fan, and I *know* that at some point they'll ***** up.

I do have to say that for the first time really in a couple decades, they have a team mentality that's solid. They're not relying on big plays or luck to win games, but are actually playing good football. What SD usually does is grab a couple "star" players, focus everything on them, get a nice win streak at the beginning of the season, but then once everyone watches the films and learns who the threats are manage to fail miserably for the second half. This is the first year in a long time where that hasn't been the case. There are actually solid players in all positions, with both rookies and veterans filling those slots. They've done a good job at getting veterans in mentoring positions for rookies instead of playing them off against eachother ("star" rookie takes veterans slot, veteran signs as free agent and goes to the superbowl with another team... Seen that one like 50 times). That change in approach has been huge this year, and if they continue it will make them a competitor in seasons to come.


I still don't think they're quite there yet. In a year or two, look for them to be a viable contender. They'd have to get really lucky to get past round 2 of the playoffs this year.
