NFL Playoffs

Yeah, but SEA will have Alexander back. CAR won't have Foster.

i despise those cb's on carolina.

I hate Carolina's DBs, as well Hunt...bunch of posin' motherfargers.

I don't know about Seattle murdering Carolina. I only watched the fourth quarter of the game, but Carolina's O-line was consistently pushing Chicago's DL around, blowing them off the ball. On one particular play, Brad Hoover pushed Urlacher back about 15 yards like he was blocking a small boy. Nick Goings had some pretty big holes to run through, and he was hitting them.

It might be a little closer than you'd think.

Knew that friggin' O/U was set too low (at 30.5 points), and I should've bet that today...that one was settled with something like twelve minutes left in the game.

Another thing to remember is that if Carolina wins the SB, it means SI's prediction was correct. That's unacceptable.

Early in the game the CHI DL was getting pressure though. They weren't getting to Delhomo but they were stuffing the run. Steve Smith was the difference maker today. He flat out bitch smacked the entire city of Chicago.

Chicago tried to get too cute with Rex Grossman. Instead of doing it with Thomas Jones and sustaining drives they let the guy who hasn't played all year lose it for them.

And their vaunted defense wore down. Early on they were studs, but Carolina got them later on. I think SEA's front 7 might have a good day against the likes of Goings, He Hate Me and Jamal Robertson.

Hope you're right Phreak, I'd rather see Seattle go this year...for nothing more than they've never been there. When I have no strong rooting interest, I'll always go for the team that's never gone.

Steve Smith is a flat out killer, though...and, not in a Rae Carruth-kinda Panther WR way.

Why? I can't see how they'd bother any of us.

I respect Fox way more that Holmgren. Holmgren has been a HC for like 50 years and he has been to the SB twicw. Everyone genuflects to Holmgren, but I have never been in awe. When Fox was DC with the Giants, he flat out shut us down constantly. He has garnered my respect for that. We always beat the Packers and Seahawks (except this year) and made Favre and whoever played for Seattle look like crap. I have little respect for Holmgren.

I am picking Carolina.

That pic of Ricky Manning makes me want to fight someone.

Also---DeShaun "Bubble Wrap" Foster has a broken ankle. That is 3 big injuries for him. Broken collarbone, microfracture knee surgery and now a broken ankle (in his UFA year).

Correll Buckhalter Part Deux anyone?

[PhillyPhanInDC]

Oh, and F you, Corey Simon 

I guess we won't have to hear so much about now, since a successful Colts team means a successful Corey Simon, at least to some.

That farger looked as fat as hell today.

He did zippy all year for them, and was allowed to sit around and never get in shape. Good rriddance to bad rubbish. He'll never make the most of his potential, and realize it too late to turn it around. Wah. farg Simon.

Carolina can't win the Super Bowl.  They lost to Tampa Bay this year.  Karma... 

So....we have 2 wildcard teams that are trying to reach the Super Bowl after 3 road wins, with the last of those three being out west.....

That must mean the Eagles will look to have him packaged with Witherspoon in a trade. "Hey John Fox, is that easily breakable RB available? Our breaking back is boring now."

[jeffreyjpa]

Good point, Ed...wouldn't that be a bitch to Home Field Advantage-enthusiasts everywhere, if it ended up being a Pittsburgh/Carolina SB?

[stillupfront]

At least Foster gets a few Regular season games in usually.
