so whats gonna happen next weekend?

[tsmooth31]

theres pretty much 3 main things

1- will the pats go 16-0...a healthy giants team COULD beat the pats..it wouldnt be likely but we do have a great pass rush and a great running game plus our secondary is playing better..buuuuuuut since we locked up the #5 seed in the NFC ;D ;D ..i think we will rest alot of guys and the pats will get to 16-0

2- who gets the final AFC wildcard??..the browns really killed there chances by losing to cincy..a team they shoulda easily beat..now all the texans have to do is win..and sure normally playing @ indy would be tough..but they will be sitting alot of guys and i know peyton is only playing a half at the most..so i think the texans will win and get in

3- an lastly who gets the final NFC wildcard spot..also like the browns the vikings really killed there chances today..since the boys dont have much to play for i think the skins have a good chance to win and get in..but just to go out on a limb im gonna say boys will beat the skins, broncos will beat the vikings and the saints will beat the bears..which means the saints get in


whatta you guys think??

1. New England will go 16-0 and procede to cruise through the playoffs (Remember, they are at home the entire time and have beaten every team besides JAX in the playoffs and I don't see JAX going up to Foxboro and getting a win where we know Belichick and the boys will be playing their best).

2. Browns still get in.

3. Who cares, the NFC is gonna come down to Green Bay and Dallas anyway, the rest are just fodder.

nah i dont think the NFC will come down to them..they arent that good..giants and seahawks and maybe even the bucs are good enough to beat either of those teams..and yea i know the giants lost to the pack and the cowboys twice but that doesnt mean anything now..the cowboys lost to a crap team in the eagles and the packers got swept my the bears..you can say the afc will come down to pats and colts and you would make a good point..but no1 in the nfc is that much better then the next team

[vincentprice]

I still think Dallas is better than the other teams in the NFC, the Packers are their only real threat and they already lost to Dallas once at home.

And they just announced the Pats/Giants game will be televised nationally on NBC and CBS so more and more build up for that game in the next two days.

[tsmooth31]

yea i saw that too..i guess because of all the records the pats are going for

depending on who we play tho it could be a blowout for the pats..i would expect guys like plax and jacobs to sit it out..im just glad we won last week so we didnt HAVE to win this one to get into the playoffs

[vincentprice]

Well, someone I work with said both Plax and Jacobs said they want to play but I guess it all comes down to Coughlin and I can't see him risking injury to both of them (Aren't they both hurting right now?).

[tsmooth31]

yea plax has been hurt all year..he got hurt in week 2 and has been gimpy ever since..brandon has also been banged up this year..from what i have heard tho they both prob will play..im not sure how much..i dont like the idea tho..sure i would love to be the only team to knock off the pats..but its much more important to go into the playoffs as healthy as possible
