AFC playoff poll

[printdust]

Manning and Co. have no chance this year. Which means they'll probably win it.

Having seen five of the six teams beat my Bills up close this year -- and thanks for that schedule, NFL -- all I can say is, the Ravens have one nasty defense.

But I hate them, so I won't pick them. That's my objective analysis.

 

[Songbird]

I still believe that top QBs prevail, and Officer Tom Brady is still Officer Tom Brady.

Somehow, someway, Patriots.

 

[GB-Hack]

I like that defense a lot, and I think Steve McNair gets the job done. I'll stake to the Ravens.

Works for me. That reminds me, I have to drop by the NFC thread so I can vote against the Cowboys...

Same here. McNair is hungry and Lewis and that defense can fly around. They beat the Chargers this year and they held LT to no TDs.

McNair is the reason this team is better than the Ravens' squad that won the Super Bowl. The defense may not be quite as good, but it sure isn't far off.

How dare you besmirch the good name of Trent Dilfer!

Billick has the ring and the defense. So Baltimore it is.

 

[RAMBO]

You know what it's kind of hard for me to pick someone from the AFC cause there is two teams out there that I think are pretty equal with each one being the Chargers and the other Ray Lewis and the Ravens, but my pick to come out of the AFC is LT and the Chargers.

I'm going with New England, just for the hell of it.

I just can't take that leap given that Rodney Harrison might miss the entire playoffs. With him out, they're a different team.

That is true, but the Patriots defense has come up big before with wide receivers playing in the secondary. I just think that Brady is pretty damn good and once again everyone is doubting them.

True. If they can just keep the game close, I think Brady can win it for them in the 4th quarter.

I bet you they will not hold up LT in the postseason.

 

[Beef03]

you can put me down as someone else in the Ravens corner. That defence is arguably the best in the league and McNair has given them that arial attack they have lacked for the last decade. Right now they are playing the best football in the league. I also like the Sandiego Super Chargers, but something about them just gives me the heebie jeebies. It's not yet time for Phillip Rivers. I think he's a guy that is going to need that hard playoff loss before he really takes off.

 

[silvershadow1981]

I can't push on my two choices, so I'm going to go ahead and say Baltimore if for no other reason than Air won't fold under the pressure. Young Phillip Rivers could use a lesson in big game mastery. He'll get it from McNair.

 

[Alma]

If the Ravens played the Cowboys in the Super Bowl, I think the talking heads on ESPN might explode from joy.

I like New England.

According to Bama fans, Saban and Miami already have it locked up.
