nfl picks and thoughts.

It's always been the secondary of their D that's been a major issue. The only real defense they have against the likes of Peyton Manning is controlling the ball on offense.

Not a fan of bend but don't break defenses as they eventually break.

I'm really looking forward to next Sunday night's game! Go Seahawks!

It's pretty wide open fer sure. I picked the Ravens and the 49ers at the beginning of the year for the Super Bowl, but with the ravens injuries and questionable coaching from the 49ers, they are as vulnerable as anyone in the league to be taken out in a one-off playoff format. Of those two, the 49ers are the better team with the most talented defense in the league. If that D plays at the top of their game, no one will beat them.

The Texans are an interesting team. They've been everything from spectacular to mediocre to awful. Their defense is solid, though overrated. Their offense revolves around Arian Foster, who has been underutilized as of late and not super effective. I don't see them doing it this year, but they have some pieces to make them a legitimate contender.

the Pats are still the Pats and Brady is still an elite. It would seem right now they are the favs in the AFC along with the Broncos. Peyton Manning is the MVP of the league (sorry Adrian Peterson but you should get Comeback Player as a consolation) and with Denver's solid defense, they might be the class of the AFC. Also, i think the probability is high for another Brady/manning showdown some time in the AFC playoffs. The wildcard teams will probably be the Bengals and the Colts, but neither of them are likely Super Bowl participants.

In the NFC, the Falcons made a statement by beating a good team decisively when they beat the Giants. Again, just don't feel like a Super Bowl team. They will get to the championship game I think but will most likely fall to the Niners or the Packers. matt Ryan has been sub par in the playoff games he has played and I don't think his time is yet.

The Redskins will take the NFC East but not do much more than that. I think the Seahawks will be the likely 5 seed and beat them. But for those on the Seahawks bandwagon after their consecutive games of 50 or more points i will qualify it by saying they beat two sub par teams. This weekend against the 49ers, I think they will be lucky to score more than 20. A good defense can stop them, though Marshawn Lynch is a stud RB I must say. Tough runner, tons of respect for him. The 6 seed is most likely irrelevant, but in the NFL playoffs, it's about catching fire at the right time. Gonna be a ride until the finish, et me tell ya

Some one threw it out there Tebow in the CFl.

They think his goose is cooked or almost cooked in the NFL his last chance us.
How things have changed. For Mr. Tebow.

I heard the same thing on Sport Radio in Edmonton today, they said he is on the Montreal Allouettes Negotiating list so if he comes North it will be in Montreal.

I'm not a Sea Hawks fan but with all the attention RGIII and Andrew Luck are getting, Russell Wilson just might be having a better season. Sea Hawks are winning and Wilson has a lot to do with it. He seems very clutch and Seattle have been pilling up points lately. They could pass 49ers this weekend and have to be considered at least a sleeper pick in the NFC.

This is turning into a great season in the NFL. Who is the best team? It seems to change weekly as teams win and teams lose. San Fran go into to New England and beat the Pats but have 1 tie and a losss against St. Louis. Go figure. I honestly beleive there has to be at least 6 or 7 teams that have a shot this year. Denver look to be on a great roll and a collission course with the Patriots maybe in the AFC. I still like Green Bay in the NFC but who knows.

Should be a great final 2 weeks and now football on Satuirday nights. Awesome.

Hopefully after this season he'll fade away and rightly join Ryan Leaf in the NFL Losers Hall Of Shame....

Michael Vick as QB of the Jets.

 

[Big Dog Striker]

Just what they need, a guy who is turnover prone and can't stay healthy. The Jet's are a mess!

Same as the present, Sanchez seems to be the epitomy of turnovers the last 2 seasons with 50. I guess its pretty hard to focus after Kate Upton, Eva Longoria, Hayden P, and Jamie Lynn Sigler. :nod: Soon to be the next Matt Leinart. Gotta give it to Sanchez though, at least he can score heavily outside the football field. :happy:

Well, its not over till its over, Tebow is on his way to Jacksonville. As the headlines states; " A Virtual Certainty ". :high5:

Plus, the owner of the Jaguars is a very smart and talented visionary who migrated to America from Pakistan with only $ 600 in his pocket. He has lived the American Dream. Its common sense that his team's best home attendance of this current NFL Season was against the Jets ( as in sold out :nod: ) and Tebow didn't even play. What if Tebow was actually playing in a Jaguars jersey?

Looking forward to seeing Tebow next season with his last NFL team.

 

[AA_Train]

I didn't realize this is a Tebow thread. He's so not relevant to the NFL right now. Let's focus on the teams who care still stil playing for something other than pride.

I'm looking forward to the niners/seahawks game but the vikings and the texans intrigues me as well. A good way to spend my birthday

I'd be careful saying the Redskins aren't a playoff team, they handled the Giants easily enough (beat them once, and it took a blown coverage big play for the Giants to win at home) and their remaining games are alot easier than the Giants (Cle, Phi, and Dal), not saying they'll get anywhere in the playoffs, just saying I'd lay some money on them to win the division and feel alright with it.

Oh shit!

Anyways. AP for mvp dont ya think, dragged a team that had no business being in the playoffs to the playoffs (someone said he wasn't that good because his yrds/carry wasn't that high, well it was 6.0 something like the second highest ever behind only Barry Sanders....). Too bad Aaron Rodgers is a monster and the game is outside in GB. I say Texans, Packers, Seahawks and Ravens IF they feed Rice, if they dont then Colts. Broncos/Texans in the AFC game; nfc game I couldn't say I dont trust the Falcons, nor do I trust the Seahawks to expose them (even though they are quite the complete team). I just know I'll enjoy watching the Packers and Niners go at it.

One thing to say about Matt Ryan not having it in the playoffs. Funny thing is players (in any sport) "dont have it" until they have it and do it the first time (LBJ for one).
