Sure looks like the AFC championship goes through Boston. Manning can't play in cold weather...he's done. Doncos lose to the Raiders at home...they're done. Panthers have played nothing but doorknobs all year...given a cakewalk to the playoffs....they lose in the first round. Seahawks are back! Arizona surprise...maybe. Foreskins...you gotta be kidding. We'll see Saturday. Cinnci...pft. KC...watch out! GB....eh. Vikes....what's a QB? Steelers....Again? Texans....not! I look for the Steelers to play the Pats...and KC to play Cinnci....Pats win over KC in the AFC. Seahawks will beat Panthers...GB will play Zona...Hawks will win over either. Brady gets his fifth to be the greatest to ever play the game. Too bad Terry.
As long as we get back some of our players who are down due to injury and Julian Edleman is key....it should go down like you stated. The Panthers are good....but they have played some easy teams. EVERYONE and I mean EVERYONE is gunning for the Patriots in every game every week!!! Every team the Patriots play plays their best game of the year against the current World Champs and in a way this is good as it toughens the Patriots up. Look at how well the Eagles played?

You know....I really give credit to Belichick and Kraft as any other teams Coach and Owner would have BLOWN THEIR TOPS after watching the absolute TRAVESTY that has been the calls by the REF'S and the actions of GOODELL!!! But Belichick when asked about the ref's call's always say's...."Ask the Ref's....our job is to play football!!" When I think of how many times I have watched a coach or players go on TV and blame the ref's for a loss....and then I think to myself...."What the HELL good can come from doing that?".....well it just makes me happy to be a Patriots Fan!! AboveAlpha
No, it's the fact that the offensive line resembles Tom Brady and the Practice Squad more than what it started the season as!
It's a concern...but as Brady has the fastest average football throw release time average in the NFL at 2.5 seconds....until we get some guy's back....Tom will deal with it. AboveAlpha
I think the Panthers might fall early in their first playoff game due to lack of experience. If not then I would tend to agree with your picks. In a Patriots/Steelers AFC Championship Game....well the Patriots would maul the Steelers in that game. AboveAlpha
So what are you calling, Pats vs Cards or maybe something a little bolder like a Pats v Seahawks rematch?
I am thinking Pat's Cards. The Pats lost today against the Jets. We simply have way too many players out injured. But most will be back in uniform before the Patriots enter the playoffs as we have a First Round Bye. We get back Edleman, Amandola, our Offensive Lineman, some defensive players and we will be unstoppable. It is amazing unto itself that the Patriots are playing as well as they are considering just how many players are out!! AboveAlpha
I agree except Patriot win. Seahawks I don't think have the heart to make it. They have the talent...but not the heart. AboveAlpha
Steelers will beat Cincinnati then Denver at Mile High. KC will throttle Texas then go into Foxboro and give Patriots all they can handle. Pittsburgh will then destroy either KC or NE on the way to the show. NFC will be either Seattle or Carolina. Should be a great Super Bowl with the Steelers winning late in the game.
I still don't think the Seahawks can recover from what happened last year. My Patriots have a huge number of players out but the good news is they will have almost all of them back after the bye week. AboveAlpha
Well the Patriots just beat a very good KC Chiefs team 24-20....and Tom Brady was unreal!! Tomorrow if Big Ben is OK I pick the Steelers...but if not....it will be Denver setting up a Brady/Manning to go to Super Bowl L. AboveAlpha
I knew Seattle just did not have it in them this season and I like Seattle. The Broncos BARELY beat the Steelers and neither the Broncos or the Steelers were anywhere NEAR as good as a team as the KC Chiefs...and the Patriots handled the Chiefs the entire game. Carolina looked like they have many weaknesses but their opponents are sub-par. Cardinals looked good. The Patriots will absolutely SHRED the Broncos in Denver as the Pats are at full strength. Manning looked awful! Pick.....Patriots vs. Cardinals. Patriots win Super Bowl L. AboveAlpha
at this point, I like the pats. but IDK about St Louis and Carolina. I'm tired of Cam Newton and his "victim status" card he loves to play all the time.
Cam Newton is a good QB....but given the strength of his opponents....he is not GREAT. There was no reason Seattle should have EVER been in that game!!! Last year the same thing happened that got them to the Super Bowl.....just dumb sheer LUCK!! Seattle is a Good Team.....but they were nothing like the Team that won them the Super Bowl. Even against the Patriots if it were not for a BEYOND LUCKY ON THE GROUND CATCH bouncing off GOD KNOWS how many defenders and receivers....Seattle should have never been in that game at the end. But I like Pete Carol and what he has done for Seattle. Now the Patriots I figure will expose all of the Bronco's problems and PROBLEM #1....PEYTON MANNING!!! AboveAlpha
I watched a few of the games again such as the Bronco's/Steelers game. Manning had happy feet in the pocket. When Peyton is dancing....he is in trouble. I watched the Pat's KC game again as well. KC was one hell of a team...real good. But they just were not a match for the Pats. AboveAlpha
I wish the Patriots had tried to beat Miami and have home field advantage.......they are a better team than the Broncos with Edelman and 'Dola back.......but Mile High has not been a good environment for them
I would have preferred Home Field Advantage as well but Tom Brady, Bill Belichick, Former Denver Bronco's Head Coach Josh McDaniels who is the Pat's Offensive Coordinator with a full and relatively healthy Patriots Team.....well I think they will absolutely SHRED Peyton Manning and the Bronco's!!
