NFL playoff thread

Aaron Rodgers is the only quarterback in the NFC who has won a playoff game. He is 4-2, Ryan is 0-3 and the others are playoff virgins.

 

Among the starters... Don't you dare discount Alex Smith's win over the Saints!!!

 

I'll take the Falcons. I believe I said a couple weeks ago that it would take some convincing for me to see anyone other than Atlanta as the NFC favorite. No one's convinced me yet. Maybe if the injuries to Abraham and Robinson keep them out, that could change, but the Falcons, with the exception of a couple meaningless games against crappy teams when they obviously weren't interested, have looked as good as anyone in that conference.

 

I can't really argue with that.

 

Wild Card: Texans over Bengals, Packers over Vikings, Colts over Ravens, Seahawks over Redskins.
Divisional: Broncos over Colts, Seahawks over Falcons, Patriots over Texans, 49ers over Packers.
Championship games: Broncos over Patriots, 49ers over Seahawks
Super Bowl: 49ers over Broncos.

 

Agree, but can't see the Packers losing on Saturday. I mean stranger things have definitely happened, but I just think they rise up. I don't think GB makes it past the second round, but I do think they win this weekend.

 

My Wild Card picks:

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

 

Lol. Fixed.

 

This is what I hope happens.

I think whoever wins the likely Packers-Niners game will win the Super Bowl. That will be a very interesting game.

 

So, for those keeping score at home. Tebow lost his playoff virginity last year before losing his actual virginity.

Must be some sort of record.

 

Don't know how many people were watching 49ers ticker yesterday, but they have almost totally given up on Akers and with good reasons. He missed two more yesterday, from 44 and 40 yards, and was getting booed heavily when he went there again. In the second half, Harbaugh went for it in a field-goal situation -- fourth and six from the 30.

They're probably going to be in some close games in the playoffs and that is not going to help at all. I think they're going to have a new kicker, probably someone like Billy Cundiff.
