Honestly, the one team i didn't want to face in the playoffs is jacksonville. They have a solid defense and a strong running game that should prove to be a challenge for New England. It should be a great game and i look forward to it. New England will be challenged, but they will prevail convincingly in the end. My prediction is as follows, Patriots:31-Jaguars:17....Pats to play the colts and beat them again in the AFC Championship game.

On a side note it was sad to see the Bucs lose to the Giants today. The Bucs are my #2 team and i would have liked to see them make a better run at the NFC Championship this year.

The only team that can beat the Patriots is the Patriots themselves. If they avoid turn overs then they'll win easily. I think the Pats win 27-10. Too much Moss, too much Welker, too much Watson, and don't forget about Faulk coming out of the backfield on that passing attack. Hell, Stallworth is good enough to start on most teams but there aren't enough balls to go around so he might even break free for a big one if the Jags leave a LB on him.

The only way the Jaguars can win is if their defense gets plenty of heat on Brady while having a +3 turnover advantage. The Jags won't be able to pass but if they control the LOS and pound the Patriots front 7 then watch out. The Patriots have enough support from their running game and plenty of weapons for Brady to bludgeon the Jags defense.

I totally agree the patriots have this game in the bag if they play their game. They have too many weapons to beat you within all aspects of their game. I expect them to come out gunning and make a statement early putting the jags on their heels all game long. Brady is in a groove this year that will take this well balanced patriot team all the way through the superbowl to be champs a 4th time this decade. GO PATS!!!

The Patriots should win it all. The Giants are a schizophrenic team so I wouldn't be worried about people who think that's a sign of bad things to come for the Pats.

The only team that could be troubling is Dallas because:
1. You won't play them at home.
2. They have a good pass rush.
3. They are explosive on offense.
4. They have a physical running game.

You guys already beat them in Texas this year but I think you'll only beat them 38-24 in the Super Bowl

Honestly the giants don't concern me in the slightest, and i completely agree with you "Schizophrenic" is definatley the proper term to describe their play lol. The only team that i can forsee giving the pats a run is dallas, however i really don't even see that happening. New England is just too well rounded of a team in general. I can remember as a kid thinking i was never going to see the red sox win a world series, or the patriots win a superbowl. All i can say is WOW...... what a decade it's been!

New England is going to wreck the Jags, unless they fall apart. I mean come on, if my Steelers could effectively score 29 points with nothing but the pass (in which we don't really excel) then a fantastic pass offense like NE's will tear apart the Jags secondary. Everyone seems to think that the Jags are going to give the Patriots trouble, but the Steelers almost beat them. And even though I'm a diehard Steel City fan, the Steeler's were only a little better than average this year. So congrats to the Pats on their soon to be win over the Jags.

I just hope Indi can beat San Diego and put up a decent game against NE in the championship.

I just hope Indi can beat superdrol and put up a decent game against NE in the championship.

What is that in the red mean...? Like the PH?

OK. Dint wanna type alot or say anything but here i go...
1. Jags secondary owned Pitts. 85% of the time Ben threw more than 5-7 yards.

2. Jags running game was very poor. Garrard lso hesitated to much to pass. The O has plenty in em' even though they dont hold the big time names like Moss, Brady, Wilker(sp?) etc.

3. Jags secondary, ie Mathis, will be able to keep up with and route pick Moss no problem. Moss WILL NOT go over the middle thanks to some of the hardest hitting linebackers, Peterson and Co.

4. Brady is GREAT on the fly. He can adjust extrmely well if his #1 reciever for the play is defended well.

5. IF NE goes short pass they will get 1st downs and def walk my Jags.

6. Brady is a pocket passer, god help NE if the Jags manage to work the Oline of NE and pressure him. He will panic and make bad passes which result in the secondary of the Jags gettin picks.

So. Brady has time he'll be ok. Short passes will beat the Jags. Jags rungame should handle NE no problem. Secondary will need to be on point, 100%+

Best of luck though. Should be a sic game since Jags play and hit hard.

Oh yea, and i think it was a horrid call in the TD area when fukcin Ward was yanking mathis around by his face mask and they called some shyt on mathis for poking him. That really bothered me but it is football and there are always bad calls, none the less,
I hope its a good game.

Is that because the patriots didn't videotape the jaguar practices?

AHHHH HAHAHAHA I would assume so. They prolly didn't expect to see them in the playoffs. Or at all for that matter. Geez, these guys havent play eachother for along time, and not even the way these teams/players are set now.
I think i am working that day...im starting to feel sick...*cough**cough* haha...
