I was happy to see the Bengels get into the playoffs. I'm happier to see Houston whooping up on them though .:D

Oh. Packers Superbowl champs.

The expected team hasn't always fared so well...
I'm guessing the hype derails the "invincible" Packers train somewhere along the route
The Saints could realistically take them out in the NFC
But then again, any given Sunday...

True. True.

But did you see how Rodgers backup did in their last game ? The Packers have depth.

I saw how they played against KC too ;)
No team is invincible
That's why they play the games, otherwise the Giants would never have had the chance to beat the Patriots (that still hurts :()

The invincibility part i agree with. Look what happened to the Colts when Peyton Manning went out.

Ouch !

I think the only people that are hyping the packers as being invincible are the ones that think they'll lose ;)

Everyone I talk to thinks NO is playing at least as well as GB. But the fact that the game will be in Lambeau is huge IMO

I think the Falcons/Giants game is a toss up at this point
Should be a fun and entertaining game

The Saints are playing strong right now
Home field is good, but historically it has meant far less the past several years
 
great game for the Texans. How far into the playoffs they will go? i have no clue.

the AFC seems a bit more wide open than the NFC.


i'm just hoping that the Lions lose tonight so for once i'll be rooting for the Saints.
 
I think tonight's game could be dangerous for the Saints ... if it is a shootout ... Detroit has a shot

The Lions have been inconsistent all season
If they play their A game, it will be an interesting game to say the least
The Lions have weapons if they show up

The key is to pressure Brees with the front 4 without blitzing
If they do that, they have a shot
 
Have to say the Houston Texans looked pretty good today. They face the Ravens next weekend, I hope they win. :D

Saints will win this one in the second quarter.

At half Det. 14 - NO. 10, so no, maybe the 3rd ends up being the difference, NO is up 31-21, detroit could still make it a game, atleast it's been a fun game XD

NO now up 38-21, stafford got intercepted then DET defense just blew a coverage, while i think det could score themselves back up so can brees

Ha, NO is playing great. I'm glad they have to get past SF first.
The Packers are going to have a much easier game with either facing NYG or ATL.

Our Texans looked amazing. Really want this next week to be an upset for Louisiana. Looking for LSU and New Orleans to both lose. I love their food and music but cajun sports teams grind my gears.
 
Falcons took a major step backwards this year
They mortgaged the future and bet on Julio to be the missing piece
We can safely say that there are other pieces still missing

Last year they lost to the eventual SB champs, no shame in that
This year, they lost to a mediocre Giant team and made them look good

Mularkey interviewing for the Jacksonville job
The Falcon Nation has no objection to that after this year's performance

Sad to say, not much reason to be optimistic for next year :(
 
Falcons offense was completely impotent. I think Matt Ryan is too conservative. Giants didn't look great, just good. Hopefully they come into Lambeau overconfident. C'mon niners next week! :p
