Uhmm... can someone help me understand the unhealthy amount of man love around here for Green Bay? I legitimately dont understand it. I'd like some help.

To me, Green Bay looks like a team that will lose games 38-42 on a late, stupid INT by Farve. Thats been his MO this year. The pass D couldn't stop a 4-year old flying a kite from walking into the end zone, cause their corners are collectively seniors in high school they are so young. They make bad penalties, and dont have anyone stepping up to make plays. They switch in and out of zone and man coverage indescriminately.

This doesnt seem like a team that can get out of their first round game to me, playing against the best passing team in the NFC,

This is a team that lost to chicago, Tennesee and Jacksonville... none of which are playoff teams.

I just need a little help in figuring out why there are so many picks for them to win it all.

See this guy knows what hes talking about. GB might get past Minnesota. But Atlanta and Philly? Thats just a joke. Packers are horrible. That defense is plop and they only put up 3 pts vs. Philly. But I guess he had a bad game right? The defense didnt cause it, he just woke up on the wrong side of the bed.

Packers have no chance at going all the way. Everyone is dumber when they say they do. I mean, the BEARS????

Hey now! If the bears beat the Lions twice, and win 2 more games, basically double their win total, they are a playoff team! I'm sick and tired of all this "Ooo...the bears won 5 games, they are so bad, they're so bad they'll get a top 10 pick, Oooo." NO MORE!

It was all a plan. Early on the bears beat the packers, but Lovie Smith, the genius that he is, foresaw a year where the NFC would be awful. He didn't want the naysayers to say, "Oh, the bears only won the superbowl this year because the NFC was down." Therefore, he brilliantly tanked the season. The Grossman injury was faked, the signing of Jeff George was a hologram, and the last loss to the Packers only insured the bears of getting a key player in the draft this year instead of a not-so key player.

The Bears are awful...suuuuuure....

Just wait til next year! Super Bowl XL Bears 97, Steelers 3

No sarcasm intended in this post -

No, I can't tell you why there's such love for the Packers. After Favre, there's really no reason for the love. The rest of the NFC has serious holes, so I'm guessing that people are just wishing well for Brett.

I'm not seeing it, though. Of course, I have no prediction at all about who will advance out of the NFC. Philly has issues on both sides of the ball, Atlanta is schizo depending on how well Vick plays, GB/Minn can't stop anyone, and Seattle/St. Louis are barely over .500.

Well, heres my predicitons, based on ezstreet's tree

[Sec19Row53]

For those picking Minnesota over Green Bay (or Denver over Indy), the 6th seed would then play the 1st seed. So, Minnesota would face Philadeplphia in the second round, not Atlanta (Denver would face Pittsburgh, not New England).

[bosox]

Either way, for me, its Eagles/Falcons in the NFC Championship.

[Puckguy14]

AFC:

Wild Card

Chargers over Jets

Colts over Broncos

Divisional Playoffs

Colts over Steelers

Patriots over Chargers

AFC Championship

Patriots over Colts

NFC:

Wild Card

Seahawks over Rams

Packers over Vikings

Divisional Playoffs

Falcons over Packers

Eagles over Seahawks

NFC Championship

Eagles over Falcons

Super Bowl:

New England 24, Philadelphia 21 - Adam Vinatieri get GW FG...again!

For those Charger fans, San Di-Ego Super Char-gers And to think I thought Chris Berman was making that up!

[Brass]

****MY PREDICTIONS****

AFC

Chargers over Jets 27-7

Colts over Broncos 42-16

Patriots over Colts 24-17

Chargers over Steelers 30-29 (35 yard field goal wins it for SD)

Patriots over Chargers 27-16

NFC

Minnesota over Green Bay 19-17

Seattle over St. Louis 21-3

Philly over Minnesota 17-10

Seattle over Atlanta 32-14

Seattle over Philly 10-7

SUPERBOWL XXXIX

Patriots over Seattle 17-16 (Vinatari does it again!)

I think that the Chargers will be the surprise team, but get shot down in a 27-16 loss to the Patriots. Seattle will also be a surprise team, but lose in Superbowl XXXIX to the Patriots on a 27 yard field goal by Adam Vinatari.

These are just my predictions for fun. I don't plan to start any fights.

[Phil]

While everything says that Indy will crush Denver, and on paper there's no way the Broncos match up... the game is going to be played on turf, and for some reason I think that one of the Broncos' all-too-few stars will step up and make it a close game. Maybe Droughns, maybe Bailey, or (in what would be the shock of the century) Plummer.

Disclaimer: The fact that I'm a Broncos fan has not played into this at all. Well... okay, it's the only reason I wrote this. Broncos Super Bowl Run '04-'05!

[IceCap]

AFC

chargers over jets

colts over broncos

chargers over steelers

colts over pats

colts over chargers

NFC

seahawks over rams

vikings over the (over rated) packers

vikings beat a eagles team without TO

falcons over the seahawks

falcons over the vikings

SUPER BOWL

peyton manning is the next dan marino in more ways then one. in his only super bowl apperence he is beat by a team wearing red.

[paynomind]

I will

you for using that word wrong!

BEAT!

[IceCap]

thanks. i cant spell to save my life.

[EagleFan344]

Wow some of you are just haters or have no football knowledge. I can see if you pick Atlanta, i guess...but GB, Seattle and even MINNESOTA? come on. be smart. GB, Seattle and Minnesota are not that good.

[IceCap]

well yes, gb and minnisota are not good. however they play each other, so the awful-ness cancelles out. the vikings got in despite the fact that they lost their last game. i think they are motivated enough to at least beat gb to prove that they belong in the playoffs. as for seattle, well they blew a sure win at home to the rams, and i think they will be determend to make sure that dosnt happen again. however i think the seahwks are done after there one win. as for the vikings and eagles? well i cant see the eagles winning this season without TO. after they get by teh eagles however, they fall to the only remaning superpower in teh nfc- the falcons.

remember that the Eagles have 8 other Pro Bowlers not named TO.
