haven't seen a NRR NFL post in a few weeks hereso the Chiefs just got knocked out of the playoffs & Vermeil is retiring. they're just the 4th 10-6 team to miss the playoffs since the 12-team format began. all i've got to say is PLEASE, if Carl Peterson doesn't want Al Saunders to take over for Vermeil, then at least bring in Herm Edwards to take the job.So the AFC looks like this in order: Indy, Denver, Cinci, NE, Jax, Pitt. I had all the teams right, just Pitt & Cinci switched.The NFC: Seattle, Chicago, Tampa, Giants, Carolina, Wash/DallasI had absolutely no expectations for TB behind Chris Simms to be in the playoffs & certainly didn't see Washington to be anywhere near that 6th seed. Michael Vick is exciting to watch, but Atlanta needs a real quarterback if they ever want to win a Super Bowl. They fucked this season up. If Dallas ends up missing out, I think Parcells will get out of there. There's gonna be a lot of new head coaches next year. My Super Bowl prediction: Super Bowl XX rematch 20 years later - New England over Chicago

Sunday, January 8
Pittsburgh (11-5) at Cincinnati (11-5)
Homerism in full effect!
J/K - BC - happy new year to you and yours!
Ed Powers - congrats on the Dolphins nice run, and - all joking aside - your team looks like they are only going to get iller and iller over the next few years. AFC East is not going to be the weakest division for long - I expect fierce dogfights in the next few years. Having said that, you do know that the Pats threw that game today so as to let Pitt and Cincinatti beat each other up next week while we hosted Jacksonville, right? I mean, BB let Doug Flutie do a dropkick for the extra point instead of going for the 2 points that would have eventually had that game in OT, fer chrissakes. Miami played hard today, though, and all props are due for that. Just recognize that 4 quarters of Tom Brady/Richard Seymour/etc = end of win streak for the fish
we in
And then, nothing. Jesus: even Dallas is getting more bone than the Blue Birds. And just wait until the (ultraconservative) spread of their first game unfolds in the morning paper.
Bad market + poor notoriety + bad history = no respect until playoff wins are acquired. The table is not even set; it's like Mom's thinking: "Perhaps I'll cook tonight," whilst the kids are sneaking pork rinds and soda pop.
Or something.
yeah, the broncos.
My boys couldn't even do the right thing and lose yesterday for the draft's sake, but we still come away with the #4 pick. Whether or not Vince Young drops to #4 is the question now. You can have Leinart, I'll take the next Randall Cunningham. Or Brady Quinn if he comes out from Notre Dame. Or D'Brickashaw Ferguson, bring the Long Island kid home.
Hey - you're right. We are brothers in our puzzlement.
the BEARS!
thats nice and all but..nah .
brady throws 4 interceptions ,nathan vasher haunts his dreams.
gets sacked like 5 times.urlacher takes his car (run that brady)
dikta sweater vests fall from the sky ,water turns to blood,chuck norris channels the ghost of buddy ryan and rides in on his steed to call the defensive plays after it is discovered that ron rivera is kidnapped before the game and is later found somewhere in boston surrounded by 5 dead bodys.
nah but foreal.
bears vs. colts. the colts will sneak by seahawks.
da bears 9 the colts 7
thats bears football.
Did you mean Bears will sneak by Seahawks?
Cause if the Colts sneak by the Seahawks, it will have to be in the Superbowl...
Washington over TB
NE over Jax
NYG over Carolina
Pittsburgh over Cinci
fair enough.
seahawks 3 bears 4.(safety steez)
The NFC is wide open. Not much separation from one to six. That being said, it will be tough for any of the WC teams to get a win in Seattle or Soldier Field in two weeks. I'll take the Bears in that game. Rex should be enough for them to get over the hump. The Seahawks have a good defense, but its youth may very well prove to be the difference.
In the AFC, it should really boil down to the winner of the inevitable Colts/Pats game. Give the Broncos an outside shot if Plummer can pull out some crazy play for a couple of games. Patriots have an air about them right now, so I'll take a SuperBowl XX rematch: Bears/Pats.
This is the best time of the year for football. MNC game in one more day and the NFL playoffs are like some of the best shit ever. Then football will be gone for many months. Sad times.
check the loc, though i'm a chiefs fan, i got the bears' back. but let's be real, chicago can dominate the NFC, but if they get the Pats, Colts, or Steelers, it's
Either way, the Bears will lose before the NFC championship game. But I think it's the Colts' year.
Oh, and: Seattle plays the Bears in Soldier Field next year.
