Got 5 of the 6 right, Jacksonville out Colts in. Not too shabby. Predictions for next weekend would be Colts over the Jests and Ravens over Chiefs. NFC. 4 out of 6 right, not so good Seatlle with a 7-9 record get in WTF Anyway for next week that leaves The Saints at Seattle and Packers at Eagles. I'll go for The Saints and Philly to progress Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff Kilpatrick Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 Interesting that the wildcards (with the exception of the Jests, natch) look stronger than their divisional opponents. The Ravens @ Patriots potential matchup in the divisional round could be huge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P-Dizzle Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 Well done to the Seahawks for scraping through, always nice to make the postseason but it really only means another defeat to the Saints and a worse position in the draft order. Still anything can happen, so let's hope it does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Heaney Posted January 8, 2011 Author Share Posted January 8, 2011 Jeez, this guy is a crackpot, here he is, has a huge play-off game this weekend and he still wants to discuss the Patriots. I have news for you Rex, The Patriots are not even playing this weekend far less playing The Jesters. You see they got a bye weekend on the strength of winning the division again. Seems we are in your head buddy boy. Looks like its a trait with all things Jests, fans and management alike, they open their gub before really thinking if they have anything to back it up http://www.boston.com/sports/football/patriots/extra_points/2011/01/rex_ryan_opens.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sterling Archer Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 "There's nobody like this guy in the league. Nobody studies like him and all that. I know Brady thinks he does and all that stuff, but I think there's a little more help from Belichick with Brady than there is with Peyton Manning. I mean, [former Colts offensive coordinator] Tom Moore has done a great job with him forever, [Jim] Caldwell and Tony Dungy and things like that, but it's Peyton Manning. That's who it is," he said. While I do think there was no need for him to bring Brady into the discussion (as you say they aren't playing this week), the gist of what Rex has said is correct. I think it's unfair of him to say Brady doesn't study as hard as Manning, however, it is the case that Brady receives more help when they're on the field. Brady has all of his plays (bar the 2min drill) called in from his OC, Manning on the other hand is his own OC and has made Tom Moore's role pretty redundant over the past decade. This isn't a go at Brady as I believe he has the ability to do this too, in his current situation though he doesn't. I also find it amusing/ironic how often Pats fans on here go out of there way to point out that the Jets are obsessed with them, especially with the petty name calling, we're all grown ups here. Now...onto some predictions for this weekend. Jets over Colts (don't want to predict a score): One of the keys to this game is definitely the play of the Jets NB Kyle Wilson. In last year's game Revis was able to take away Wayne but Manning just decided to go to Garcon, Collie and Clark. The Jets added Cromartie for specifically this type of situation, if he can cover Garcon then that will force Manning to go underneath. The nickel hsa been one of the Jets biggest weaknesses this year and I think that's where the game will be won and lost. Fortunately for the Jets it's not Collie and Clark this year but UDFA Blair White and Jacob Tamme. Both are good players but not on the same level as the people they're replacing. I think if Sanchez can protect the ball and the Jets can take control of the Colts notoriously weak run D then they should be able to keep Manning off the field and they might just sneak this. Ravens over Chiefs: Don't feel confident about this pick at all. Arrowhead is a difficult place to play and the Ravens O hasn't been great in recent weeks. I still see them sneaking this though. If the Chiefs are to get the win then they have to force the ball to Jamaal Charles, otherwise I don't think they've got a shot. Packers over Eagles: By far the most difficult game to call, if Vick plays like he did against Minnesota this could be ugly, however if he plays like he did against Washington we could see a game like AZ vs GB from last year. Vick's had a lot of trouble reading blitzes lately and facing a D that includes Matthews, Woodson and Williams could be problematic. Saints over Seahawks (but not by much): With all the injuries the Saints have (Graham, Thomas, Ivory etc) this game could be a lot closer than many expect. I think Carroll is making a mistake giving the start to Hass but so be it. In the end I expect the Saints quality to show through but I think at least for a period this game will be close.

Geoff Kilpatrick Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Colts beat Jests - Peyton Womanning won't be pressured as the Jests much hailed pass rush has been non-existent. Plus putting Reggie Wayne on 'Revis Island' won't bother Womanning and Sanchez flatters to deceive. 27-17 Colts Ravens beat Chiefs - As a Pats fan, I would prefer this result to be the other way round but I can't see it. It will be a battle but the Ravens are slightly better. 17-10 Ravens Saints beat Seahawks - Home advantage for the 'Hawks makes this closer than expected, particularly with Brees throwing INTs for fun but they will squeak it. 27-24 Saints Packers beat Eagles - I think the Packers are the best equipped NFC team despite being the #6 seed. They close Vick down and win easily. 31-14 Packers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really like to hear others thoughts on this weeks games? My understanding of the game and having a QB, a Offensive Co-Ordinator and Head Coach was for the most part they work as a team, maybe thats why Brady has 4 SB appearances and 3 rings, compare that to the lone ranger Manning. As great as Manning is and as many records as he has, Brady has the rings, thanks to his team. As for the petty name calling of The Jests and their fans, go trawl back the archives and you will see why that started and anyway, Girder Gub Ryan is hard to ignore when he gives you the ammo the way he does As for this weekend, for me it looks like Saints, Ravens Eagles and Colts. Couple of the teams in the mix this weekend are lucky to be there (Packers and Seahawks) and it may be the end of the road for them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rossthejambo Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Decent start to the play offs, Saints go 17-7 up and then the Seahawks reply with 17 unanswered points. Defensively not the best game but not bad entertainment-wise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
