NFC Champions

[Reaganrattler07]

Who wins it?

[SeguinMatadors]

I really do think if the Cowboys get into the playoffs... they will come out of the NFC.

[dragons08]

no way the cowboys can beat the bears..the bears defense will keep bledsoes rear-end on the ground..

it'll be between the bears, the giants, and the seahawks

[yankee]

I really do think if the Cowboys get into the playoffs... they will come out of the NFC.
i hope you are joking. the cowboys have NO CHANCE WHATSOEVER TO COME OUT ON TOP OF THE NFC. itll be the giants and seahawks in the nfc championship game. the bears offense will end up hurting them which is why i dont think theyll be in the nfc championship game.

the bears offense is on the rise though..right now no i dont think they can win the NFC, but if the offense keeps getting better then they'll give the giants and seahawks a run for their money..i can really see any of those 3 teams representing the NFC

d08- rex grossman WILL NOT be your savior, sorry to say it. the bears offense will not go anywhere.

Seahawks? Are you F'n serious? They are the most overrated team in the league. I am dying for the Cowboys to play them again. If you don't remember, Cowboys owned em' in a game earlier this year. Lost it late with ******* mistakes.

[SeguinMatadors]

Bears will lose to whoever they play first. They won't be a factor.

[dragons08]

d08- rex grossman WILL NOT be your savior, sorry to say it. the bears offense will not go anywhere.
all he needs to do is pass for 200 yards a game..jones gets his 100...and the defense is its normal self and suddenly their a threat..

orton throws for what 100 yards a game..sucks on 3rd, horrible leadership..the veterans on this team are LOVING grossman, they'll go out and play THAT much better..espical muhammd he came to chicago because of grossman..orton barely threw to moose imagine once we get moose making plays like himself..YIKES

it's true, but they got home field advantage through the playoffs...where they are undefeated

[BAMF cowboy]

plus, Alexander has been playing great as of late

[TexasRed6x]

plus, Alexander has been playing great as of late

I agree with DragonCrew06. Alexander is one of the main reasons they are playing great right now along with Hasselbeck, who also is playing great with Jackson coming back from injury.

[dragons08]

plus, Alexander has been playing great as of late
basically the colts and the seahawks, anything less than a super bowl berth, would be a huge disappointment, they have ALL the factors

yes i am f'n serious. i cant believe you think the cowboys have a chance even if they make the playoffs. stop being so ignorant of the fact that there are a lot of teams better than the cowboys. hasslebeck has been on fire lately and alexander is unstoppable. they are WAY better than the 'boys.

[SeguinMatadors]

The Cowboys always do well against Alexander. Of all the "really good" running backs in the league, he scares me the least.Can't argue the homefield thing.. but they still don't impress me.

this is hilarious. you must live under a rock or something. alexander has put up mvp numbers and will end up winning the mvp. hes a td machine and continually puts up huge numbers. id have to say hes a lot scarier than julius jones or marion barber...:cool:

[SeguinMatadors]

Don't put the Seahawks in the same sentence as the Colts. The Colts are a great team. The Seahawks are a good team who have caught some breaks.

[SeguinMatadors]

WTF? *******, I acknowledged that he was a really good back. HOWEVER, the Cowboys do well against him. I can name 7 running backs that scare me more.

well to bad the cowboys wont be playing seattle.

[SeguinMatadors]

What an *** you are proving yourself to be. The Cowboys outplayed the Seahawks when they played them earlier this year. Why should I be scared of them? The Cowboys ARE as good as any team in the NFC. The NFC has no standout team. Just a bunch of average teams. Have you even watched the Hawks play this year? I have NFL Sunday ticket, I watch them every weekend.

[dragons08]

IMO cowboys are one of the most overrated playoff teams..yea their good but their inconistent

[SeguinMatadors]

IMO cowboys are one of the most overrated playoff teams..yea their good but their inconistent

It has to be the Seahawks. People who haven't seen them play... they look at their record and think they are a great team. Hints the comment you made earlier.

[TexasRed6x]

Yes the Cowboys sometimes find themselves ahead in big games but always blow it in the end.

[BAMF cowboy]

IMO cowboys are one of the most overrated playoff teams..yea their good but their inconistent

inconsistent yes...but also they have the potential to win any game. 11 games so far have been decided by 7 points or less. They win some games against good teams, like NYG, SD and KC, but also losing to teams like Oakland and choking against Washington in week 2.

I think they have the ability to win more than you give them credit for...but they wont be able to get a streak long enough to go deep in the playoffs.

[dragons08]

It has to be the Seahawks. People who haven't seen them play... they look at their record and think they are a great team. Hints the comment you made earlier.
well..i have seen some seahawks games and yes they have caught some breaks...and if your going to win the super bowl you need things to go your way..

but the giants and the bears will challenege them IMO

what are the 'predicted' brackets looking like?

[yankee]

It has to be the Seahawks. People who haven't seen them play... they look at their record and think they are a great team. Hints the comment you made earlier.
you can also look at their stats and see what a great team they have too.

[dragons08]

yea wheres lonny..he'll make up some stat thing to show the most overrated team..

then..

Panthers/Giants=Bears

is that rgiht?

[yankee]

then..

Panthers/Giants=Bears

is that rgiht?
looks right to me.

[BAMF cowboy]

then..

Panthers/Giants=Bears

Jags/Pats=Colts
Steel/Bengals=Denver

is that rgiht?

no, lowest seed always plays highest

I really dont want to have to type out all the possible combos.

[TexasRed6x]

That looks like the correct matchups if i'm not mistaken.

[dragons08]

no, lowest seed always plays highest

I really dont want to have to type out all the possible combos.
so im pretty sure thats right then..skins and steelrers being worst

[SeguinMatadors]

looks right to me.

Wrong. Lowest rank team plays the 1 seed. If the 6 seed beats the 3 seed than they play the 1 seed. If the 3 seed beats the 6 seed they play the 2 seed. Come on buddy, you aren't impressing me.

[SeguinMatadors]

no, lowest seed always plays highest

I really dont want to have to type out all the possible combos.
Yeah, me either. I just gave an example.

[dragons08]

Wrong. Lowest rank team plays the 1 seed. If the 6 seed beats the 3 seed than they play the 1 seed. If the 3 seed beats the 6 seed they play the 2 seed. Come on buddy, you aren't impressing me.
oh i thought it was like a SET bracket..not where it depends on who wins

[yankee]

Wrong. Lowest rank team plays the 1 seed. If the 6 seed beats the 3 seed than they play the 1 seed. If the 3 seed beats the 6 seed they play the 2 seed. Come on buddy, you aren't impressing me.
im not on this board to impress you. i looked at it quickly and it appeared right to me. im not the only one who said it either.i though it was set.

[BAMF cowboy]

i guess i will be forced to type it out.

If Giants and Bucs win then:

Giants @ Seattle
Bucs @ Chicago

If Giants and Skins win then:

Skins @ Seattle
Giants @ Chicago

If Bucs and Panthers win then:

Panthers @ Seattle
Bucs @ Chicago

If Skins and Panthers win then:

Skins @ Seattle
Panthers @ Chicago

I dont want to have to type out AFC, hopefully you can see how it works.

Also, this is just assuming if things stay as they are right now

[dragons08]

alright i understand..like me and yankeeman said, we both thought it was a SET bracket..

[SeguinMatadors]

im not on this board to impress you. i looked at it quickly and it appeared right to me. im not the only one who said it either.i though it was set.

Well, if you don't know anything about the league... best not discuss it.;)

[BAMF cowboy]

alright i understand..like me and yankeeman said, we both thought it was a SET bracket..

common mistake, i think the NFL is the only league that does this? But also is the only league with teams having bye weeks, thus giving some reason for it

[dragons08]

Well, if you don't know anything about the league... best not discuss it.;)
come on man, leave him alone, he made the same mistake i did, why not you call me out?

[SeguinMatadors]

Correct, it is the only league that does this.

[Reaganrattler07]

Alexander is a little overrated. He is a good running back though...not the best. He's kinda like Tiki is to the Giants. Stop him, you've stopped the team.

Washington will be eager to play Tampa Bay....as they would be healthy, unlike the first go around.

Carolina and New York would be an interesting match up....it'll depend on where it's played. If New York doesn't win the division, it'll be tough for New York wherever they play outside of the Meadowlands.

Ever since Grossman came back, the only decent team they've played was Atlanta....then Green Bay. It'll be interesting to see how teams fare in the cold weather.

[SeguinMatadors]

come on man, leave him alone, he made the same mistake i did, why not you call me out?

Little guys who think they know a lot.. and don't know much... get on my nervs. You asked a question.. he answered your question... when he didn't even know the answer.

You are right about Alexander and the Seahawks.

If Washington gets in, they should beat Tampa Bay... depending on the QB situation. I still think the Cowboys get in. They need either the Redskins or Panthers to lose + a win vs. the Rams. They can also get in if the Giants and Tampa bay lost + a win vs. the Rams. What do you think is the most likely of the scenerios Reagan?

[BAMF cowboy]

It's no big deal, we've all made a fool of ourselves before. At least it wasn't on the Mainboard. I've done it before, just teaches you to do your research.

It's true, the Cowboys shut down Alexander, and they were in control of the game. Then all of a sudden in the last 2 minutes they let him loose...game Seattle.

[SeguinMatadors]

I think the Panthers lose to the Falcons. The Falcons always do well against the Panthers. It should be intereting.

[dragons08]

and youve never done that?i do happen to know a lot about football. im sorry i made a mistake. sue me.
that is true..yankeeman knows his stuff, he didnt know one thing, something that most people probally dont kow

the game is in ATL right?

I'm not sure. Carolina will no doubt be playing for the playoffs, Jake Delhomme said a few weeks back that his record was 0-2 in Atlanta and he wanted to change that. Atlanta will be playing spoiler.

As for Washington losing. A lot of people have said that there's no over-confidence and that they'll be playing for the playoffs, possibly the division title. Washington needs its defense, Portis and Moss to show up. As for the quarterback situation. It may not be as big as people suspect. Ramsey has shown significant change since he was benched.....he actually looks a lot like Mark Brunell.

Dallas will know their fate by the time they play. So that may change their outcome of it a little bit. They'll know if the game matters or not. But I don't see St. Louis pulling off the upset. And I don't see Carolina or Washington losing either as both are in "bubble" positions right now. They can lose and go home, or win and stay the same or possibly move up.

[SeguinMatadors]

You are correct.

I will agree that I don't see the Eagles upseting the Redskins. However, I am not sold on Ramsey. I have never liked him. He CAN lose the game for the Redskins. Maybe not this week because the Eagles are shell of their former selves, but come playoff time I don't see the Redskins winning with him.

I have a good feeling about Atlanta. It is in the dome and the Falcons have had the Panthers number as of late. Panthers need to get their running game rolling if they want a shot in this one. Delhomme isn't good enough to carry that team. Lets go Vick!

The other option is very unlikely. Oakland would have to beat the Giants (although they may hold back as they are in the playoffs) and the Saints would have to beat the Bucs. Could happen, but not likely.

If I could choose any team to lose it would be the Panthers because I would love for the Cowboys to get another shot at the Skins in the playoffs. How great would that be? The rivalry reuniting in the playoffs. That would be classic.

If the Cowboys are playing for the playoffs come game time.. they will not lose.

i dont think the giants will hold back. they are in the middle of a race to win the nfc east. unless they dont care who they play...

My bad for being a dick. Have you ever truly believed you were right and then had someone disagree with you? It gets frusterating. That's all it was. Sorry though.

Well, I was confident in Ramsey at the beginning of this season...but nothing changed. And while he was on the benched, he learned a lot from Brunell and look somehwat like him when he played against the Giants. If anything, Ramsey will play only the Eagles game. Or they could do what Chicago did and put Brunell back in at the start of the second half and throw the Eagles off.

But I agree, the one more likely to happen is Carolina losing to Atlanta.

A Skins-Boys playoff game would be interesting.....but I don't see it happening. Seattle will choke sometime....I expect Hasselbeck to somehow screw up.

[Reaganrattler07]

This is true. Good catch. Makes that option even more unlikely.

Norville's last game and Kerry Collins shot at the Giants.....all they have to do is throw it up to Moss. I bet Will Allen is sitting at home goin' "Man, not ANOTHER Moss"

[yankee]

Norville's last game and Kerry Collins shot at the Giants.....all they have to do is throw it up to Moss. I bet Will Allen is sitting at home goin' "Man, not ANOTHER Moss"
moss has not been thrown to a lot this year. i dont think it will change in this game.

[Reaganrattler07]

moss has not been thrown to a lot this year. i dont think it will change in this game.

That may be part of the fact that they're losing.....but they will need to go long. That's a Giant weakness.....especially if it's Will Allen.

The same Madden I beat the Bears 52-3? Muhammad would crap his pants if he saw Sean comming at him.

[Sacred Ground]

I am picking the Seahawks, because they have home field advantage thru-out the playoffs, they get a week off, they have Shawn Alexander, and Mike Holmgren knows what it is going to take to reach the Super Bowl.

[dragonfan22]

The same Madden I beat the Bears 52-3? Muhammad would crap his pants if he saw Sean comming at him.

um....maybe b/c your good at that game??:rolleyes:
by they way yess the same bears..which are going to the playoffs...i know its unbelieveable
