Bengals Saints Giants Steelers

Bengals Saints Giants Steelers

Bengals, Lions, Giants, Steelers

[OG Jaydc]

Bengals just aren't a good team. You shut down green and you shut their offense down.But green is a beast.

Texans are going to be a force for years to come. This season was their coming out party. Just imagine if  schaub and Mario weren't injured.

^ Yeah, they got smashed. I haven't watched the Texans much recently but I figured Dalton would outperform a 3rd stringer.

Dalton probably would have been 3rd stringer on Houston.

I'm not sold on stafford as an elite qb. Calvin Johnson can make any qb look elite, he's insane. You can throw to him in double, triple coverage and he still comes away with the catch almost always.

Drew brees and this saints offense is fucking nuts. If it wasn't for the two fumbles they had this game would be a complete blowout. They are scary good right now.

Well so much for my bold pick. Should probably just rely on conventional wisdom from now on.

The Lions had their chances on defense they just didn't finish. They had a 6 with that fumble but the stupid reffed fucked it up. They also dropped a sure fire pick on Brees later in the game. This game should have been within 3 points. There were actually a few balls by Brees that the Lions secondary should have grabbed. I'm not sold on the Saints to go into Green Bay or even SF and walk through eithyer of those Ds. Fuck what GB's total D numbers are. They average 9.6 points per fist half in games where they started everyone (not counting week 17), and Capers is a great adjuster. Saints might go to town on the Niners if Smith and co throwaway the ball and keep the D on the field all day and get tired, but Brees better pray the Pack gets upset next week because in Green Bay the Saints are fucked.

Take Brees out of the dome, granted he's still awesome. But he won't beat the Packers in -13 degree weather, with winds & possibly snow lol.

I might have to take the Steelers on the moneyline. I swore I'd never bet with Tebow in a game. But this HAS to be a lock.

What a poor playcall by the falcons. You've been stuffed once on a 4th down qb sneak so for the second one you call an empty backfield qb sneak with a longer distance to go?! Wow.

[TheRemedy360Ressurection]

Wow. The Falcons suck. 2 points?

[OG Jaydc]

Wow. The Falcons suck. 2 points?

Matt Ryan, another supposed elite qb is now going to be 0-2 in the playoffs and played like shit both times. And he just seems to suck outside of the dome in general.

Too many qbs get labelled elite based off stats but can't do shit and fold up when the games matter the most.Nevermind qbs stats are so inflated because of all the ridiculous rules that have been implemented.

[Lunatic]

^ I feel bad for Ryan today. His OL protection has been horrendous. Not many QB's (if any at all) would be able to do anything today. The Giants front 4 are ALL OVER HIM. And if you can't pick up 1 yard on 3rd down consistently in the run game, good luck.

The Texans played well to no surprise. First ever playoff game and make it at home, they were fired up. They'll lose next week.

The Saints offense was insane but the Lions D was worse. Saints should beat the 49ers next week too.

I'm glad the Giants won though. Giants--Packers will be a GREAT game, Pack would have rolled over the Falcons.

I expect the Steelers to dominate. Broncos will be lucky to score 10 pts and I predict Tebow turns it over 3 times. Dude is garbage, I never bought the hype.
