NFL Wild Card weekend. All aboard, last call for bandwagoners! NO MORE COWBOYS TALK...WEEEEEEE

[Tyche]

Turner almost put up as many yards as Peterson with much less fumbles and more TDs. Seems odd that Deejay would talk about how Turner is the reason why Ryan has been so successful and ultimately, that team is successful, yet take Peterson with a negligible amount of more yards, lots more fumbles, and a lot less TDs. Turner actually did get MVP votes (as well as Pennington). Peterson got none, maybe that's why Deejay is saying he was robbed.

[Weltall]

No telling how many games Peterson cost his team with those red zone fumbles. I read somewhere he had more fumbles within the 15 yard line than any RB other than I think Tiki Barber for one season. That was weeks ago, so he probably broke that record.

Then again, he is the only reason they are in games to begin with....so yeah

[Headspace]

If it wasn't for Benson, Chris Perry would've broken the record for # of fumbles.

[Mizango]

I like Chris Johnson, but hes being a little bitch right now. Crying that he didn't get Rookie of the year over Matt Ryan. I mean, Johnson played lights out as well as Forte, but you cant start crying foul if you don't win an award.

And for the record, Manning deserved MVP over AP in EVERY conceivable way. Deejay just likes negros that beast on Madden. I am sold on this fact because he has like no logic behind some of the stuff he says or does lol. I am waiting to hear about how much of a fucking BEAST Michael Robinson is.

So I was discussing it with my friend the other day, and we decided that the NFC simply does not have a contender for the SB this year. Any NFC playoff team, imo, can beat any other NFC playoff team. They're all good teams, but I simply don't think they can win against whoever the AFC champion is (IND TEN or PIT, most likely).

Are my friends and I overlooking something that would make us incorrect, or does an AFC winner seem probable?

[Headspace]

PIT needs to get their shit together if they want to go all the way.

You serious?

[Tyche]

I think it's favorable assuming the Colts, Titans, or Pitt make it, but it's one game. Anything can happen.

Philly and NYG both beat the steelers, NYG beat them in their own house.

Indi is a hot team but NYG, Carolina, Vikings, Eagles, falcons teams can run the football on them and keep payton off the field

Ten is the most dangerous because of how the team is built, run the ball well, stop the run. I like any of the NFC running backs over theirs though.

I'm probably getting trolled by responding to this, but whatever.

Maybe you should look at the Vegas odds, where the Giants are a favorite to repeat in the Super Bowl. Indy is not the team it once was. Pitt has a QB coming off a concussion and they rely on their defense to win anyway. Tennessee got knocked around a bit their last few weeks. The Giants, Carolina and Eagles are all strong teams out of the NFC and while there's no clear cut matchup that would be "We would destroy you" or something like that, to say no NFC team would be a contender is pretty idiotic.

The Giants already beat Pitt during the regular season incase you forgot so.. if they "simply can't win" how did that happen?

So did the Eagles...I was there. :D

I'd say that there is no clear cut favorite to win the NFC (except the Giants really but they lost 3 out of the last 4 games)...but to say they don't stand a chance vs the AFC is silly.

[Tyche]

On a neutral field, I'd have to assume the Colts would be favored over Giants. The Colts just aren't favored to win it all because they'd have to win 3 road games to get there which is very difficult.

I don't think there's any clear cut favorite to win, period. The only teams that would really surprise me if they became champs would be Arizona and Minnesota. All the other teams in the playoffs at this point have a good chance of going all the way. My only point was that saying the NFC doesn't have a chance is stupid.

Oh I wasn't disagreeing with you. Just happened to quote your post cause you left out my birds as a team who beat Pittsburgh.

And yeah I really doubt Arizona or Minnesota will do very well. Minnesota is too reliant on Peterson, plus it took all they had to come back and beat the Giants 3rd stringers at home. And unless Arizona has for some reason intentionally played dead the last few weeks I doubt they're going to win.

100% agreed on all accounts.

[Conrad]

At least I managed to spark a debate.

I'd actually pick the Giants or Panthers to win the conference, either of which could beat the AFC winner. I would just favor the AFC in either of those cases.

The Eagles are hot right now, but they're always way too inconsistent and cause me to cry so I can't get my hopes up. Falcons are a reasonable pick too, but for some reason I keep thinking that Arizona is going to upset them, then lose miserably to the Panthers.

Maybe I was exaggerating my opinion a bit, I was looking more for opinion than stating a fact.

You realize your Vegas boys are pretty much down on their knees screaming "PLEASE BET ON THE COLTS," right?

[Anyway]

Pretty sure the Giants were going to lose to the Steelers until the long snapper went down and they had to use a LB who threw that shit over the punter's head. So go ahead and consider that a "convincing" win all you want but they won't get as lucky if there's a 2nd time.

It convinced me they won. They were only down by 2 pts at that point anyways with 10 min to play.

What in the hell....

@TN comment: TN KNOCKED OUT Pitt 2 games back, and the last game we rested almost all major starters. Example- Chris Johnson didn't even dress out and he is 100%. Simply nonsense. More like we HEALED up last week rather than got "knocked around".

@Indy comment: They have only won like, what, 9 games or something in a row and have the HANDS DOWN (think otherwise, and you're foolish) best player in the league at QB. I would say they are not only an amazing team, but the favorite to win it all.

If I had to place my life savings on 1 team, it would be TN or INDY.
