NFL Picks: AFC/NFC Championship Games

[AndyDufresne]

Romo vs. NE's shitty defense is gonna be interesting.

I don't even know who I'm cheering for in that game. I probably won't watch it, to save me the trouble.

So I saw Denver put Lloyd on the trading block. I actually agree with it. He's getting old and he's a diva...definitely not what we need in the locker room with Tebow. I like our young WRs with Royal, Decker, Thomas and Willis though. As long as we cash the pick in for defense and not a fucking running back or WR.

And people are talking about how Denver keeps trading their talent...this is nowhere near McDaniels' idiocy. We actually had a chance 2 years ago with Cutler, Marshall, Scheffler and then Moreno at RB. f*ck, just thinking about it, we probably could've had a top 5 offense. But yea, we definitely are rebuilding. I just hope they make the right moves.

There's always a lot of wudda, cudda, shudda around the league. I'm hoping Tebow get's a bunch of playing time now and that he does well. It's easy to root for young talent regardless of the team.

Same. I want Tebow to do well not only because I'm a Broncos fan but because he's such an increidbly likable guy and there are so many pricks out there (see: Merril Hoge...or yesterday I saw a video from ESPN First Take where Jon Ritchie, another shitty-ass fullback like Hoge took a shit on Tebow) who pretty much say he's gonna outright suck. I forgot who said it but after he took over from the Chargers some analyst talked about how he won't be the greatest statistical QB of all time, but that he'll do what's necessary to win and I completely agree with that. He has the drive that Orton lacks and is one of the most passionate QBs out there.

I think you're right... Tebow possesses a lot of the intangibles
that make him an asset to any team. But I think he's also got
the physical attributes to be a special player and I'd really like
to see him succeed in the NFL.

Basically... I'd like to have him on my team.

Also... I actually expect Detroit to win at home,
even though I picked the Niners this week.

I meant to flip the Eagles pick as well. Andy Reed is too good
a coach, he's got enough offensive fire power to get it done
and looking at going 1-5 is plenty of extra motivation.
So um... Go Skins!

Now if the Cowboys can just find a way to slow down Brady/Welker
later today. all will be perfect in the World.

[Army of GOD]

Oh God. I was watching the Walked Dead premiere, then during a commercial flipped it to the Sunday Night Game and luckily got the kickoff right after the Vikings TD. I love how I EXPECTED Hester to take it back for a touchdown and he did.

I know they don't put return men in the HoF, but Hester just has to be in there. Not only is he setting records, he's doing them very early in his career.

RAGE!!!

[Army of GOD]

Schwartz is such a bitch.

[AndyDufresne]

Schwartz is such a bitch.

I don't think I'd want either as the coach of my team, if I had a team.

Rage! An intense matchup with 5 lead changes with a bit of post game sizzle
and the Niners are the best of the West.

If the Skins' receivers could catch the ball as well as the Eagle secondary
that might have been a tight game. Waiting until the final 3 minutes
to make some catches is no way to win a game... obviously.

Bills toss an INT at the Giants' 4 yard line --add a face mask tackle for good measure--
to initiate a final minutes drive and New York steals a win.

After shutting out the Pats in the second half the Cowboys drive the length of the field
to take their first lead of the game in the 4th Quarter. Hold New England to a 3 & out
only to rush 3 times and give it right back, so Brady can put up one more final drive to
pull out the win. Even though it was Romo's arm that gave Dallas the lead, I'd say the
coaches are a bit gun shy with the results of recent games and the lack of aggression
to put away the game in the final minutes cost 'em another win.

The NFC North is nuts... 3 great teams and the Vikings. Minnesota blew a few big leads
to park themselves in the cellar of a this tough division with a healthy team. Now they
are really screwed with a tough schedule and too many injuries.

NFC South tightens up a bit as the Bucs hand the Saints a second loss,
while the Falcons hang on to beat the Panthers.

Raiders lose Campbell and look to Bengals hoping to pick up Palmer?

[AndyDufresne]

Stinks for the Raiders, since they've been on the up this year.

I was able to watch the Lions and Bills games, and were rooting for them. I think they will both bounce back though.

I was a little surprised about the Bucs beating the Saints, but the Bucs have shown they can get some wins going back to last year.

Considering what the Bucs did just last week in San Francisco, this was a shocker
and a great rebound game for them.

[Army of GOD]

Meh, a 5th or 6th round pick for Lloyd? Feel like we could've done better.

Oh well. The closer we can get to the removal of all things Josh McDaniels, the better.

[Army of GOD]

Also why the f*ck are we considering trading Orton to the Raiders?

What an awful, awful move that would be.

Maybe the Broncos can beat the Raiders with Orton wearing silver & black?

Not if the Raiders run the ball for 150+ yards too.

ESPN is reporting that Carson Palmer is likely to be traded to the Raiders, from the Bengals, for two first round draft picks:

Now that Cincy has reached the Dalton era
that sounds like good deal for both teams.

I think you've picked wrong for the Titans games every week so far (maybe with the exception of week 1?), so I'll count on them winning this one!

[Army of GOD]

Though T.O. can be a cancer, I like him as a player, and if the Titans pick him up and make sure he fucking behaves himself, they'll definitely win that division.
