Superbowl prediction: Seahawks and Colts (Although I'd like it to be Denver and Seattle).
ditto.

I think the only way for Denver to make it to the SB is for whomever is playing the Colts to jump out to a substantial lead in the first quarter before they get a chance to get rolling in the Divisional Game. Then Denver would host the AFC champ game.

Can anyone in the NFC even compete with Seattle?

IMO, the Bears can compete with them, and
Carolina (depends on which team shows up) Panthers can compete with them. I say this because they are my home team, and I have seen them play all year, and they can be two different teams.
The team that demolishes (First Tampa game, and both Atlanta games) and the team that looks like it should be sponsored by Chico's Bail Bonds (the last Tampa game, which I was at. :dead: )
Plus, out of all the NFC teams, which one has done anything at all in the playoffs in the last couple of years. Only the Panthers, giving the Patriots the best game they could ever ask for in the Superbowl,
and people picked against them all through the playoffs that year too.:)

The Giants should have beat them in Seattle if their FG kicker didn't CHOKE THREE TIMES.

I really think any of the NFC teams can make it to the Super Bowl. Well, except Carolina.

has Feely been on the team the whole year, or is he a recent sign-ee because the kicking game was so awful?

What was that score again? Oh that's right 27-17.
What score?

*checks Carolina's schedule*

Are you referring to the week two win vs New England? That's all fine, but if you are trying to rub that in my face, I am not a Pats fan. :blah:

I predict that I won't watch any of the playoff games, and for the superbowl I'll end up at a cool party but won't watch the game.

not with this douchebag on the sidelines:

steelers are hungry and being overlooked, they will overpower any team in the nfl right now, as long as they dont turn the ball over too much and lock the defense down against the pass.

Cincy doesn't have a great rush defense and Pittsburgh has been running for upwards of 200 yards a game the last 5-6 weeks. If Pittsburgh's got their running game going, Cincy's offense won't be on the field long enough to put that pass attack to work. Pittsburgh will pound away with their running game, and I don't know if Cincy is tough enough to be able to handle it. I think Pittsburgh can be dangerous in these playoffs.

Cincy doesn't need much time to score.

Pittsburgh is perpetually that "dangerous" team.

I'd like to see Pigeons, err I mean Seahawks v. Colts in the Superbowl - and since I'm from Seattle - Seahawks winning it all.

Thank You! That is what im trying to say, the Indy and Seatle glam is getting alot of attention right now and keeping Pittsburgh off the radar. They are a total in your face team that is real about how hard they have to play after the small loosing streak that almost kept them out of the playoffs.

Go Steelers.

And? For every two minute scoring drive they have, Pittsburgh will match it with an eight minute one.

Yeah, because they are always in the playoffs. Playoff teams are usually considered dangerous.

I just think Pittsburgh is being overlooked.
