OK Boys and Girls! The 2005-06 NFL season playoffs

Yup its 2006 now, but they're considered the 2005 playoffs right? Its wildcard weekend!!!

In the NFC you've got:

Washington at Tampa Bay
and
Carolina at New York

--------------------------------
And in the AFC you've got:

Jacksonville at New England
and
Pittsburgh at Cincinnati

What are your predictions for this week?
I've got:
Tampa Bay over Washington
New York over Carolina

Jacksonville over New England
Pittsburgh over Cincinnati

I choose Jacksonville over New England because I dont think the Pats are going to be physically healthy enough to play such a physical team. Great offense, mediocre defense; there's nothing they've done that proves they are ready for the big time YET. They might surprise me; but they've only beaten a struggling Tampa Bay team using their ultra-cold and soggy homefield advantage. The Jets scored 21 points against them... THE JETS.
They'll have the advantage again in this game with the weather being most likely snow (like every playoff game in Gillette stadium) but the Jaguars are a very physical team; and thats what it takes to win in weather.

I pick Pittsburgh over Cincinnati this time because of the complete role reversal I've seen from both teams. Cincy blowing a shot at the #2 seed... loses at the Bills and now KC don't give me much confidence; nor does the fact their Head Coach is quite disappointed in their performance.
The Steelers on the other hand are doing much better and watching the games; they are playing much more like the Steelers of old yore. Big Ben is doing much better, etc. It will be a close game I'm sure. I HOPE the Bengals win; but I dont see it happening.

NE beats Jacksonville at home. Experience wins out.

I do agree with your Pittsburgh pick. Cincy has looked like **** lately and have given up an average of 30 points over the past few games. Pittsburgh on the other hand, has looked like the team we all know they can be.

TB loses to Washington because of Chris Simms who will make too many mistakes. Washington's run D will keep the Cadillac in park. And also because they lost to the Niners this year. How pathetic is that.

NY beats Carolina because Tiki Barber has played awesome this year. Although, if Eli Manning makes too many mistakes and continues to be inconsistant like he has been this year, Carolina has a chance to pull it out.
 



Hell Yeah.

Nate, I agree with all your picks.

Even deeper, the steelers are a danger to anyone they face, and the same can be said about NE.

I watch a lot of Eli Manning's games and I can see the inconsistency; but the BIGGEST problem I see, is the DROPPED PASSES. I've never seen a pro team that did very well that dropped so many passes.
This IMO has caused him to use Shockey as a go-to guy; and even tho the TE can be a dangerous weapon; you cant use him very often because part of his danger is the confusion he creates in the pass or block scenario.

I think Eli will do very well like his brother; he's actually a more mobile quarterback. I figure give him about 2 more years (and keep him on a decent team) and he'll be top 3 easy.

I agree on the TB statement Even though I think the Redskins stink; I think TB stinks even more (funny because almost EVERYONE in the NFC stinks)

Having seen what Mark Brunell did in Jacksonville (He can pull of some ridiculous plays when he's hot), and with the talent of Portis and Moss, the potential is definitely there for them to win the NFC. I hope they make it.

My friend in sub-school for the Navy tells me that in Groton, CT; its nothing but Patriot fans. Absolutely hates it; because thats all thats on TV and thats all everyone talks about; with their whacko yankee accents

He was born in Texas, raised there and here in AL. So I cant comment much on accents. Except southern accents are mathematically proven to speak more proper english What IS a car warsh anyway? ROFL

Back to the game. Anyone heard anything about Bruschi? (is that how you spell his name?) Leftwich is supposed to start; but no one knows how rusty he'll be.

Me too, i'm a huge Redskins fan and my dad is a New England fan.

That would be my dream Superbowl.

If that happens i'm hopping a plane to Jacksonville and scalping a couple of tickets, can't wmiss that one if it happens

I like dem predictions... YESSIR

I really don't think Carolina is going to beat the NYG. And can I have your argument on why the Pitts/Cincy game will be of such a low score? I would think logic might say it'd be a 30-40 pt game wouldnt it?

Bruschi will almost certainly play on Saturday. He has the calf injury, but it's not too serious. He was held out last week because the Pats already had clinched the playoffs.

I almost feel guilty rooting for another Pats Super Bowl title this year (I guess this is how Yankee fans must have felt in past years). Well, I have been a Patriots fan my whole life, even when they were a laughingstock of the league for the longest time.

More than likely, the Colts should make it to the Super Bowl from the AFC.

I think the game won't be a shootout because there will be some turnovers in this one and Pittsburgh will have some long drives. The Bengals lack the play-off experience that the Steelers have and Pittsburgh know it will be better off staying away from a shootout because it won't work vs. Cincy.
