Not really a prediction, though. Just something interesting to keep in mind down the road.

Likely won’t matter either way, though, if the Chiefs end up with the 3 seed. Pittsburgh/Baltimore are the exact opposite in terms of matchup. They won’t be able to run the ball at all. Funny how important the precise order the cards fall in is this time of the year.

Besides, I see the Cheifs as a version of the 08 Falcons. Very good up and coming team, but young and not ready for the bright playoff lights yet.

Master to student – “I’ve taught you everything YOU know, but not everything I know.”

Master to student – I know everything YOU know but you don’t know everything I know.

Words to remember?

But there is only one master – it should be interesting.

The Pats have beaten the Steelers on the road handily and beaten the Ravens (Terell Suggs notwithstanding) at home after being down by 10 in the 4th quarter, they beat the Colts, they split with the Jets, they got a serious butt-kicking from the Browns at exactly the right time, since then they are giving up just under 17 ppg, yesterday they made it look easy beating Buffalo.

Call them by whatever silly derogatory name you want to, but 13-2 is just that – 13-2.

Since ‘spygate’ – 51-15 – 77.27%

What an embarassment the Stains are. Not even one Super Bowl appearance in their miserable history. No wonder LeBron left this dump. Ha!

Thats great the Vikqueens play Tuesday, very short week before the last game of the season when Favre will FINALLY have his career end and Minnesota will be embarrassed by the Lions.”

Wow. . .an idiotic comment about an NFC team in the post dedicated to the AFC playoff picture.

As if we needed any more proof that Viking haters are among the dumbest damn people on the planet. Thank you, jdmp86, for removing any doubt about your stupidity or the stupidity of your fellow mouth-breathing Viking haters.

Your an idiot Rosenthall. Ofcourse it was damaging, if they beat the Redskins they would still be playing for the 6th seed wild card against the Jets as well….

A win gives them only 1 game to subject everyone to punishment from the 23rd of December to the 2nd round of the playoffs. Which is enough time to get Troy and Ben back to 100%, and possibly have Aaron Smith back as well. A loss and a Ravens win would put them on the road at KC (most likely). The Steelers in the past have not faired well at Arrowhead. Their reward for winning that game would be a trip to Foxboro in Round 2. I just don’t see a 2005 run (3 road wins) in this team.

On the other hand, IMO the Ravens would beat KC and have the best chance, outside of the Steelers, to beat New England. The Jets? That’s not happening. KC? Right. Indy? Not with all their injuries.

So at this point, NE is rooting for Cleveland to win. That’s their best path to the Super Bowl (facing a beat up Steeler team in Round 2 instead of a healthy Steeler team in the AFC Championship)

You have a really intersting point, and could easily turn out to be right. It would be great if we could see that happen. I’m so hoping some AFC team can knock the Pats off of their pedastal.

Bottom line…0-10 with TO & Ocho,,,and 2-0 the past two weeks without them…….are we LEARNING YET PAULNOGA!! ?

If you wanna beat the Pats, you’re gonna have to keep Tom Brady off the field as much as possible. And when they do score, you’re going to want to match them. It comes down to getting a handful of stops. KC’s defense may not be anything special, but with Weis, Crennel and Cassel there, I have a feeling they could maybe slow the Pats offense down a little bit. NE’s defense keeps points off the board, but keep in mind that they’re still horrific in the stats column and most importantly, are often playing with huge leads and therefore know what’s coming. Successfuly run the ball and suddenly they aren’t so good at that anymore (ask Cleveland). It’s a matchup nightmare for them… nobody else in the playoffs runs the ball remotely close to as well as the Chiefs do, and no coaching staff knows the Patriots as well as the Chiefs do.

Remember this comment…

If this comes true, I’ll have picked every AFC playoff team(slightly out of order) correct, from week 10. Only real difference is I had Ravens at 2, Jets at 5, and Steelers at 6. Which I think is still technically possible.

Negative: LaDanian Tomlinson is no longer with them. I love to see that pu$$y cry.

Authorities are still trying to ascertain exactly what the levels of depredation involved in “livechat” are.

See a pattern here ?
