The NFL Football topic

Well, I know your Ravens have had bad luck vs the Steelers in recent years, but tou're lucky they aren't in. Your Ravens play the Colts this weekend.

Both the Vikings and the Packers were fired up coming in. I just wanted to say we kinda didn't play like we scored 34. Peterson was just killing us and Ponder played better. But this was at the Dome. So now it will be at Lambeau and when the score was 37-34 today. Just wait till next week. We could have another shootout. But as long as the Packers are on the winning side. But history will not be with us as the Vikings won the only time these two teams met in the playoffs (that would be the Moss moon game). You know most of you guys remember we were 2-3 and lost to the 49ers, Seahawks (robbed), and Colts. Then we won 9 of 10. So this could go either way. But oh boy. Rodgers vs Peterson. Two of the best players head to head in the playoffs.

So here are the teams for the playoffs!

AFC:
1. Broncos
2. Patriots
3. Texans
4. Ravens
5. Colts
6. Bengals

NFC:
1. Falcons
2. 49ers
3. Packers
4. Redskins
5. Seahawks
6. Vikings

So now we got to talk about Super Bowl contenders, all of them are so good.

Wow, the Texans aren't even in the top 2 in the AFC.

I think we might see an unexpected team from the NFC get to the Super Bowl. Look at those teams. It could be anyone, but I think the Seahawks are the most dangerous team right now. Either them or the Packers, maybe 49ers.

[The Red Jaguars]

I say the Broncos and Niners/Packers would be the teams that most likely represent their respective conferences in the SB. They are solid teams that have played great football all season. Although I am still hoping my Ravens get in of course. But we have a tough path to the SB unfortunately. If we do beat the Colts, we will get either Denver or New England depending on if Cincy beats Texans. I'd rather face New England though. But first things first, we must beat the Colts.

And yeah, the Texans have shown that they are not as great as people make it out to be. Let's not forget that they almost lost to the Lions and Jaguars. I think the Bengals got a lucky break when they get to play Houston.

And I am going LOL if the Falcons go one and done again.

The Redskins are going to the playoffs, and the Cowboys are going to the golf course!

Cowboys did it again 

[The Red Jaguars]

Typical Dallas choking it away. It looks like the D.C.-Baltimore area is going to have two sport teams in the playoffs. Poor RG3 was limping out there though. I wonder how he will handle that Seattle defense? But they have a rookie QB too.

But it is official, the 2012 NFL regular season is officially over. Boy does it go by quick. 

[PurpleParrot319]

I really like the Broncos' chances of going to the SB. They're looking really good right now. I wouldn't want to face them.

Bears fire Lovie Smith 

Cardinals, Chargers, Bills, Chiefs, Eagles, and Browns also fired their coaches

[The Red Jaguars]

I am surprised that the Jets didn't fire Rex Ryan either. Oh well, I guess they want another season of mediocrity. I have never seen a team more dramatized in a season like the Jets. Their whole QB situation was a laughable mess. They can enjoy another season next year of being a 6-win team.

I think they fired their GM though, if that means anything.

Playoff Picks: Wild Card Round

Vikings vs Packers (X) I think this will be a close one. But then again... It's at Lambeau so. And you know I'm a Packer fan so you should be expecting me picking the Packers. Aaron Rodgers will stay dominant but I still think Peterson is going to get at least 100 yards in the snow. But to trust Ponder now on the road and since the Vikings are a Dome Team. The Packers will win this one.

Bengals vs Texans (X) This one will be a rematch of last year's game. But I still think Houston will do the exact same thing they did to Cincy last year.

Colts vs Ravens (X) (For you TRJ  ) I like Andrew Luck. He's a great choice for Rookie of the Year. But he's going against a tough Ravens D that tough to beat in Baltimore. But I think this will go down to a last second Field Goal.... for the Ravens.

(X) Seahawks vs Redskins Yes guys I am picking Russell Wilson over RG3 and here's why. I know Seattle stuggles away from Century Link Field but RG3 hasn't been himself. He only had 100 yards vs the Cowboys. Knowing Seattle's offense being monster killers. I think they'll win here and move on.

So if I'm right these would be the matchups next week

Ravens vs Broncos
Seahawks vs Falcons
Packers vs 49ers
Texans vs Patriots

[The Red Jaguars]

This is who I got:

Ravens > Colts
Bengals > Texans

Seahawks > Redskins
Vikings > Packers

I really do hope the Bengals win because that would mean that the Ravens will play New England if they win. I want revenge for their AFCCG lost last year and I don't want to face the Broncos until the AFCCG.

[PurpleParrot319]

My picks:

Ravens over Colts
Texans over Bengals
Vikings over Packers
Redskins over Seahawks

At first, I had the Colts winning, but things changed once I found out that Ray Lewis is retiring at the end of the year. Motivation for the win.

The Bengals can never win a playoff game, so I'm going with the Texans (who beat the Bengals last year iirc). The game is also in Houston.

The Packers have struggled in playoff games at home recently. Plus, they just lost to a hot Vikings team. Vikings will win again.

The Redskins will win because they're playing at home. Seahawks are not a good road team. With this game being far away from home, I don't see them winning despite being hot. Plus, the Redskins are hotter.
