A lot of people were saying that to me at training this morning (I play with the DCU Saints) and I can understand why but personally I like the way New England play and enjoy their style more than most sides, even if they've had the Steelers number for a few years!
Speaking of Pittsburgh an inordinately high number of the non-Steelers fans, well 2, have told me they fancy them for the upset tonight. I wish I had their faith!
I like the Pats, they're a well run, clean organisation so the only thing you can hate on is their success. They should have won that game too, Brady was off all night and losing 3 fumbles and an INT which went directly for 24 points - thats just strange all capped off by Vinatieiri missing an easy FG.
What a game, what an incredible game. I was at the most emotional I have ever been during a Steelers game. Watched it in Buskers, was unreal, so many highs and lows, especially in that final quarter. One of, if not the, most exciting games I've ever witnessed (please note I didn't see the Rose Bowl:D ).
And the bonus is it puts me to 2/3 on the weekend with the Panthers leading.
What a weekend!!! Exactly why everyone loves the play offs. Was 3/4 myself (thought the Pats would win)
Cannot wait until next week...
Panthers - Bears game was excellent.
I'm beginning to think Peyton Manning is the next coming of Dan Marino. He could well end up with every passing record there is in the book but absolutly nothing to show for. He only won 1 SEC title in school and no national championship despite holding over 40 passing records when he left. He went 0-4 against Florida and never won the big games in college.
Now as a pro New England became his Florida. They always had his number and when the path eventually looked clear he stumbles, at home, on turf, to a team they dismantled earlier in the season. Now Pittsburgh played well but they had home advantage all the way and would have played Denver for the 3rd year running in the AFC Championship, they annihilated them the past 2 years in the playoffs. Now his huge cap number hampers signing both Edge and Reggie Wayne, it may even mean both go. He criticised his OL but his cap number may mean it cant be improved through FA. If wayne goes them Harrison is getting on and the defense need alot more work than they thought. this may have been his best chance to get to the SB in his career.
the bronco's and steelers scuppered most peoples predictions here,what a field goal miss from colts!
Ended 3/4 for the weekend. Up to 5/8 now, is someone keeping track of the overall scores?
panthers looked good alright. steelers/colts was one of the best games i'd ever seen, who'd hgave thought Vanderjagt would have missed that field goal? i know it was a high pressure situation but he's the most accurate kicker in the NFL's history for christs sake..
Roethlisberger's tackle after the Bus's fumble was top class too, if he didnt make that it was good night irene.
BTW who was that new presenter guy last night? Bring back Kevin Cade!!!
He dos it the odd time. Also does the NFL Europe programmes.
Big Ben's tackle was one of the plays of the weekend. If Watson's tackle of champ Bailey had've resulted ina touchback, that would've been

At least I'm not last anymore!:)
Was a great weekend all right. Typical play-offs with some surprises. It won't be too easy pick winners either this weekend, but here's what I think anyway:
Sunday, January 22nd:
Pittsburgh Steelers at Denver Broncos 8:00 p.m. (Pittsburgh)
Carolina Panthers at Seattle Seahawks 11:30 p.m. (Seattle)
I'm going to go with Kerry Blue on this one so it's
Steelers to beat Broncos
Seahawks to beat Panthers
I'm going for the Bronco's over the Steeler's and the Seahawk's over the Panther's.
Broncos and Panthers
bronco's and seahawks
Why the rush? Wait for the injury reports and weather before picking who'll win.
Do your initial thoughts, any changes can be made up to Kick off
Broncos and Panthers
For me Seahawks and Steelers.

NFL's biggest hits. OUCH!!!
Jaysus, there are some bone rattlers in that!Quote:

That's the superbowl I wanna see anyway but I fear for Pittsburgh. DOn't think the number 6 seed has ever made it to the superbowl
Oh I'm very afraid of this Denver team. And you're right about the sixth seed thing, in fact this is the first time a 6th seed has made a conference championship game.
Denver got tanked today by Pittsburg, and Seattle are currently 17-7 up on the Panthers
Pittsburg v Seahawks superbowl, will BETTIS (the bus) get to his final spot? :D

Wanna raise the stakes (are there any stakes) for the superbowl? Add in stuff like who will score first, score prediction etc?
We've 2 weeks to get predictions in anyway but ideas?
By the way, fair play Aberdonian, 7 correct out of 10 in the postseason!
Cheers!
Good work Shedite. Thanks for keeping an eye on things. Well done Aberdonian, that's some going.Quote:

I'd be up for some bowl predictions. Maybe who leads after each quater? Or which QB will come up with more passing yards?
I got out of jail for my weekend betting by lumping on Hawks at -3.5 in the handicap. Phew.
Passing yards could prove very interesting. Very tough to call.
Alright it's time to make some predictions ahead of the big game:
Passing yards: Roethlisberger over Hasselbeck
Rushing yards: Alexander over Parker
Team Rushing yards: Pittsburgh over Seattle (I figure this is relevant as individual rushing looks a slam dunk to me).
First TD: Hines Ward
Offence with most turnovers: Seattle
Winner: Pittsburgh
Ok ladies and gents lets have your views.
Passing yards: Hasselbeck over big Ben.
Rushing yards: Alexander over Parker
Team Rushing yards: Pittsburgh over Seattle
First TD: Heath Miller (Steelers)
Offence with most turnovers: Pittsburgh
Winner: Seattle.
I'm in like Flynn, Monday booked off work, plenty of Bud and chips at the ready eh?
Passing yards: Big Ben
Rushing yards: Alexander
Team Rushing yards: Pittsburgh over Seattle
First TD: The Bus
Offence with most turnovers: No turnover!
Winner: Seattle.
Passing yards: Hasselbeck
Rushing yards: Alexander over Parker
Team Rushing yards: Seattle over Pttsburgh
First TD: Jackson (seattle)
Offence with most turnovers: Pittsburgh
Winner: Seattle (by 4)
I was tempted to go this way but I think somebody is going to crack on offence.Quote:
