    I still can't believe the Steelers still have a legitimate chance. The game I'm concerned about is Ravens at Bengals, it's a somewhat meaningless game against a divisional opponent, hoping Bengals play their starters and play for the win. The other two games won't be lock ins either, the Jets can beat Miami and I think KC can beat the streaking chargers.

    Our odds are low, and generally I don't like backing into the playoffs by they're definitely playing solid football right now. It's a long shot in all counts, but always nice having a little hope at the end of the season. We'd be in had Miami not beat us at home and in the snow to boot.

    Pittsburgh would be the one team in the AFC nobody wants to see. They are playing outstanding ball right now.

    Pretty amazing and sad that a 12-4 or 11-5 record in the AFC is a wild card berth.

    He joins a long list of overpaid talented players who can't stay healthy. Also see Percy Harvin

    This season had taught me one thing...nothing is predictable.

    For example...the Eagles get blown out by a crappy team, then blow out a decent team the next week. And they might not even make the playoffs.

    The Packers were a top 5 teams, then a bottom 5 team, now we may sneak into the playoffs.

    The Ravens were out of contention, then back in it, then blown out. Now they are still alive for wildcard.

    The Patriots have jumped all over the place...same with the Chiefs.

    The Broncos look amazing and broke records, but i would be willing to bet $50 that they get upset early.

    Best case scenario in MY head...Rodgers, Lacy and Cobb all play next week, we get in the show, and try to outscore our opponents in shootouts (The Saints method).

    Im trolling hard on the FIRE REX RYAN front and hoping Green Bay brings him in as a D coordinator next year. Honestly. Anything that happens in the next few weeks is a bonus for this terrible season.

    Not right away. Needs to remind everyone that he's a defensive genius for a few seasons again.

    Dom Capers is great, but he's lost his touch IMO. In the 3 seasons since our Super Bowl our defense has been atrocious. We never replaced Nick Collins or Charles Woodson either and that is the majority of the problem.

    If you cant figure out the 0-4 is for your 4 super bowl loses and the Bills are much bigger chokers than Peyton then you may want to rethink your Bozo comment :poke:

    NFC North is a joke any team that makes it from there is going to be knocked out in the first round. It's embarrassing right now being a fan in that division. Outside that division I like the Broncos as long as they don't get the bye, it's a timing offence and they can't get rusty. In the NFC I like Seattle but wouldn't count out Philly.

    Watch out for the panthers and packers if Rodgers plays and wins next week. The rest of the NFC is way to up and down. As far as the AFC, the Bengals and the patriots. 3 weeks ago I would've said the broncos but something isn't quite right there. Gotta bad feeling their going out early.

    I'd LOVE to see a Panthers Patriots rematch in the Super Bowl after the way that game ended on the picked up penalty flag. Two very hot teams right now.

    Don't discount the Saints. Drew Brees is the 4th best QB in the league and he has Rob Ryan now. They are my non Packers homer pick.
