NFL Playoffs

[deerhunt45]

Getting down to crunch time. Who are you picking in this weekend's games and why...:D

[Deehntr56]

Baltimore, Pittsburgh, Carolina and The Giants.

I like Baltimore to win it all as well.:biggrin:

Good defense, and I like defensive teams in the playoffs.

Pittsburgh and Tenn also are good...but I'll take the rookie coach, rookie quarterback and baltimore......let's hope so...I have them going ALL THE WAY IN MY POOL!!!:biggrin: :biggrin:

[deerhunt45]

Well my picks were Tennessee and Carolina, shows you what I know. By the stats, the Titans kicked the Ravens butts except in the areas that loses games, turnovers and penalties! Sloppy sloppy game by the Titans.

I thought Arizona would be overmatched on the road. Jake Delhomme just played an awful game, simply aweful. Kurt Warner on the other hand proved yet again he knows how to lead and inspire a team in big games. He deserves a lot of credit. I wouldn't have bet the Cardinals would be playing for the NFC Championship. They are rooting for the Eagles today to secure a home game next week. That would be huge.

I'm picking the home teams again today. I don't see the leagues #1 defense getting embarrassed at home by a Norv Turner coached team plus who doesn't want to see a Steelers/Ravens rumble for the AFC Championship? I hope Big Ben is healthy enough to have a decent game and not turn the ball over. How much effect will Willie Parker's return have? That could be key to Pittsburgh controlling the clock and keeping Rivers and Company off the field.

The Giants/Eagles game is hard to call. This could be a shootout. McNabb is on a roll. They beat the Giants in NY a few weeks ago. The wildcard is Any Reid and his play calling. I look for a focused Giants team to play a solid game in all areas and win at home by a field goal.

Carolina shot themsleves in the foot too many times yesterday.

They did it enough times, they bled to death and lost 33-13 I believe was the final.:biggrin:

Chitsburgh and the Giants today. Will both favored teams win?:confused: :biggrin:

and...GO RAVENS!!

Yeah that buddie, I didn't mean to slight anybody else on the Cardinals team, they all stepped up and played pretty well yesterday. Larry Fitzgerald is a special receiver. He would make any QB look good :D

i know you wasn't leaving anybody else out "45 " lol .:) he is special watch him catch the ball ...watch his hands outside the body no ball comes into his pads to bounce out ...he is just fun to watch ...:)

[deerhunt45]

Well the Cardinals got their wish, another home playoff game. I was wrong again imagine that :whistle:

Eagles/Cardinals...this game's for the birds :rolleyes: :D

[JJR]

Wow... looks like the Chargers or maybe the Steelers will end up winning the Superbowl... :D The Chargers are playing hot right now... they have the #1 QB rating QB in Rivers, been playing essentially 5 playoff games so far... Rivera got the defense firing on almost all of their cylinders... The offense has been there for the most part all year....

I think that this is going to be a good game... and if the Chargers can get Ben to turn over the ball and give him a few shots he will rush it and make mistakes.....

So the team with the least amount of offensive mistakes will win this game...

[Francis]

Please chargers! Out of the teams left I want Cards and Chargers. But beating both the steelers and ravens will be hard

[JJR]

It won't be that hard... The thing about the Chargers is that they are Finally playing to their potential... They are now the team that they were expected to be like from the beginning of the year when they were favored to win the Super Bowl....

So far they scored a TD in the first 2 minutes of the game... now we have to see how their defense is....

[Deehntr56]

This is upset weekend.:biggrin:

San Diego has been playing very well late in the season......they will give the steelers all they can handle.

Pittsburgh has come from behind in big games this year...very capable in doing that today as well.

I want the Ravens though......thier my pick in the pool.

[Deehntr56]

Yikes...Santonio Holmes, former Buckeye takes the punt 68 yards for a touchdown!!!:biggrin: :biggrin:

Now...7-7!

[Cal923]

Pittsburgh got thier running game back!!!! finally!!!!! Pittsburgh's Oline really stepped up... Pittsburgh Philly superbowl...all PA this year... Pittsburgh will get 6th ring

[deerhunt45]

Well I picked one out of four right :coco: :dizzy: :D

[CritterGitter]

The AFC North will represent the AFC in the Super Bowl. Awesome. I think it may come down to an all PA Super Bowl. Go Eagles. I hate the Steelers and Ravens and while it is fun to watch Fitzgerald make spectacular grabs over and over, I don't think they have the defense to get it done.

[ap0317ah]

Go Pitt.

[Deehntr56]

I really don't like Pittsburgh or The Ravens, but were rooting for the Ravens.

Rookie coach, Rookie quarterback and a very good defense.

Last time anyone won it all with the above? Ravens...in the year 2000.

Pittsburgh won the 1st 2 meetings bewteen the two teams. Can they win a third?:confused:

Ravens to win it all.......at least that is the way I picked it in our pool.:biggrin:

[deerhunt45]

Boldin says he will be ready to go for the Cardinals this weekend. How big of an impact will he have against the Eagles?

[deerhunt45]

The big day in the NFL is here. Could it be an all Pittsburgh Super Bowl?

I'm going with Arizona, favored at home and the Steelers. I think the Ravens, while hungry are very tired.

[Deehntr56]

GO RAVENS!!!:biggrin: :biggrin:

Right now it's 6-0 Chitsburgh, but Rothelsberger is hurt and may not be back, and Hines Ward may not be back as well after hurting his knee.

Anything could happen!!!:biggrin:

The Cardinals are in!!!:bouncy:

[Deehntr56]

Ben Boy is still in and hits former OSU player Santonio Holmes for a long touchdown...13-0 Chitsburgh!!:biggrin:

GO RAVENS!!:biggrin:

[Full Rut]

Looks like the Ravens are going home to watch the big game with the rest of the AFC North. Baltimore sure ran their mouths all week. Tonight they were reminded for the third time, who the tougher team is.:mischeif:

[Deehntr56]

Oh well, if they would of went to the Super Bowl...the pool was all mine.:D
