NFL Playoffs: A Nawlins Bro Bowl

[whitestazn88]

I am picking Redskins to win, so whitestazn loses.

I'm picking foresting companies to win, so Andy loses his natural habitat.

Did you mean straight losses with a rookie QB?
Newton was a rookie last year.

Oops... San Fran and St. Lou was a tie last week.

The Redskins have lost 8 straight games in which the opponent's starting quarterback was a rookie. That is horrific.

[oVo]

The Panthers' QB (Newton) is not a rookie.

The Panthers' QB (Newton) is not a rookie.

Last year he was. And the Panthers beat the Redskins last year.

[oVo]

meh... I see it now. The sekrit to whuppin' the skins
is starting a rookie QB, but Newton got 'em again
two weeks ago.

[oVo]

I'm flippin' the Ravens and going with the Steelers
to win at home.

and

The Bears to win at the Niners.

yes, newton got them again two weeks ago, but that has nothing to do with the statistic we discussed. it's as if i were to say, when x player gains z yards in a game, his team has won 15 straight times. it doesn't mean that x player had 15 straight z yard games in a row...


but aside from that, streak broken, only 2 games out of the top of the conference with a game left to play the giants, maybe we can steal that one, sweep up the rest of our terrible division, and we're right back in the thick of things.

or maybe i shouldn't allow my hopes to get so high off of one win against a rookie qb... but that isn't in the nature of skins fans.

I am glad I've got the day off, look forward to games, though the match-ups aren't that great.

--Andy

The Texans game will suck, Arian Foster will run all over the Lion's porous defense, JJ sWatt will make life hell for Stafford. 33-13 Texans.

The Patriots game will suck. The Jets can't stop anyone, and they can't score. The Patriots can't stop anyone, but at least they can light it up. 45-21 Patriots.

The Redskins game will be excellent. Two teams fighting for a very slim chance at a playoff spot. An incredible rookie quarterback. The bright lights of the biggest waste of $1 billion. An all-time classic rivalry. But in the end, Trent Williams and the Skins O-line will protect RG3, and Romo will fail in the clutch, as usual. 16-10 Redskins in OT on a pick-6 by Kerrigan.

I don't understand the Lions as a team yet, but I think all three games have the potential to be awful. Here's to hoping that won't happen.

[oVo]

The Cowboy killer has always been Santana Moss in this rivalry
and if he is contained the Skins will go down. But these games
are usually tight regardless of what's on the line.

The makeshift O-Line for Dallas is a major problem. If the Skins
stuff the run and get after Romo they'll enjoy Thanksgiving.

Pats and Texans should both have fun on Thursday.

NYG @ WAS Skins are tempting here. They win, they're a contender.

[strike wolf]

Falcons should win this one but then again they should have won the first meeting. I'm also kind of thinking Jaguars will win. They've played well the last two weeks.

Other than that I think I agree with your list Ovo.

[oVo]

I'm certainly not downplaying the Falcons as a talented team and I expect it to be closely contested, but the Saints are on the playoff bubble and have more at stake here.

It wouldn't surprise me to see the Jaguars upset the Bills, they've certainly played well the last two weeks and Henne has been getting it done. The Steelers/Ravens game is always brutal, but Pittsburgh just isn't the same without Big Ben running the offense and Batch had an awful game last week at Cleveland. Of course the Browns are a much better team than their record and they've been competitive in all of their games.

The way this season has gone lately I feel any team can win on any given Sunday
and even the Fish could stun the Pats in Miami this week. But not likely eh?

Skins have been hot n cold, but they certainly have the roster to beat the Ravens.

I picked Dallas, but Cincy has been defending the wide outs really well
and the Cowboys have too many guys out on defense. Andy Dalton may
have a big day... if the Bengals manage to run the ball a little.

Houston/New England should be a good game and even though I expect
the Pats to prevail at home? I still went with the Texans.

[muy_thaiguy]

Have to give props to Denver's Mitch Unrein (DT #96) for the TD catch. Was a Wyoming Cowboy and has made us proud of him.
