The Road to SuperBowl XLIV: The Official 2010 NFL Playoffs Thread

I'm not going to blast the Bengals for not playing everyone.

Imagine the anger from Cincy fans if Palmer/Benson got hurt in the second half.

For anyone who says that Cincy should have gone for the 3 seed- IIRC, last year's NFC Title game was between the #4 and #6 seeds.

Besides, I have seen a lot of instances where a team beats someone in the regular season, only to lose the playoff rematch that follows (Packers-Lions in January 1994, Bears-Vikings in January 1995)

Well when 2 teams roll over for you like dead horses it isn't that hard to fathom. Let's remember the last time the other team "tried" against the Jets, they lost 10-7 to a feeble Falcons team at home.

I like every team this week that won the games this week, and the Pats who also beat the Ravens in week 3.

You going to the game, Bill? I'll be in P6 at 9am

, can't wait. Nothing like playoff football!

Bengals were beat before they rolled over.

What a week for Sandra.

A trip to Cabo, Ohio State wins a BCS game to get the monkey off the Big Ten's back, and the J-E-T-S make the playoffs.

I think the Dallas-Philadelphia match-up from yesterday that will be played again next week will greatly benefit Philadelphia. I cannot see Dallas beating Philadelphia 3 times in one season especially in back to back games.

How?? I'm not trying to say it's a guaranteed win for Dallas, but how can a loss like yesterday's benefit Philly when they have to go back to Dallas again?? It's not like Dallas unloaded every trick play in the book to beat them....

St. Louis Rams circa 1999 with the ex-bag boy from Cedar Falls, Iowa.

All three will play the teams that blew them out next weekend, but yet I like ALL THREE of today's losing teams to win next week.

This just in.... The road to SuperBowl XLIV is WIDE OPEN!

What about HD?

A trip to Iron Chef Michael Symon's latest restaurant, an OSU Rose Bowl victory and a 4 game win streak by my Browns!

Dallas' defense is playing lights-out. (First back-to-back shutouts in team history). They also have their running game going full-bore and Tony Romo is having his best December/January yet. Heading into the playoffs, only San Diego is equally as hot. Oh, and next week's game is at home. I'll take Dallas.
