Re: NFL Playoff Pick'em
 

I am for whoever wins the Bears/Packers matchup to win the superbowl.

I would really hate to see the Steelers or the Jets win.

Re: NFL Playoff Pick'em
 

What Vamp and KG said. I've always been a fan of both franchises historically, so I might watch the game next weekend to see how it turns out.

Re: NFL Playoff Pick'em
 

I want the Packers win, just so Farve can cry himself to sleep even harder.
Plus I've always liked the Packers.

Re: NFL Playoff Pick'em
 

I thought about this, and I think it would be a pretty funny thing if the Packers with the Superbowl the season that Favre retires. Unless of course he comes back next season...which he might.

I like the Packers more now that Rodgers is playing. I think we are going to see some big changes in the NFC North...specifically, I am waiting for the Lions to have an exceptional year.

Re: NFL Playoff Pick'em
 

I now think the Packers have the best chance of winning it all. They have a great defense and the best QB left in the playoffs. That is a recipe for a championship.

I'm not sure, but I think Jay Cutler wishes he was lying in bed right now. He doesn't have the look of a winner.

EDIT: Wow, I posted this before Cutler decided to sit down with a tweaked knee.

I can see the forest through the trees.

Re: NFL Playoff Pick'em
 

Should be a good Super Bowl, I have no doubt that Pittsburgh will win.

Re: NFL Playoff Pick'em
 

Rooting for the Packers. Either way, both of those teams will have at least 3-7 more Super Bowl victories than the Eagles. :(

Early Vegas line is Packers -2 by the way. Slightly surprised that they are the favorites, but I think the Packers will play well in that Dallas stadium.

Obviously my rankings were way off to begin with again this year. I thought we were getting a Saints-Patriots Super Bowl. Whoops.

Re: NFL Playoff Pick'em
 

I really hope that the Packers beat the Steelers. I'm so sick of those stupid terrile towels.

Re: NFL Playoff Pick'em
 

I would like a Packer fan perspective.

Bond?

Any thoughts?

As someone who watched the Bears play every game this season, I have to say they played MISERABLY yesterday. Okay, so they had a little surge in defense, but they had their second (more like third) and third (more like second :lol: ) string QBs in.

I gotta say, after watching the Steelers disassemble the Jets (and mind you, Big Ben was sick the whole game), and after watching the Packers almost let the Bears tie things up....I'm not sure how I would feel as a Packers fan.

I'm actually quite torn, I like the Steelers and I like Rodgers. And I really like underdogs. And I really really like vengeance and I kind of dislike Brett Favre as a person. So yeah.

Re: NFL Playoff Pick'em
 

Perspective on ...?

Re: NFL Playoff Pick'em
 

How the Packers vs Steelers game will unfold. How you think everything will go down.

Do you think it will be close? Will it be high scoring?

Re: NFL Playoff Pick'em
 

I think we will win, but it will be very close ... something like 24-23. I wouldn't be surprised if it was the first overtime game of the playoffs.

Re: NFL Playoff Pick'em
 

Not that it makes that huge of a difference, but you need to add 17 to my score, I should have 53.

Re: NFL Playoff Pick'em
 

I am giddy like a school girl.

Re: NFL Playoff Pick'em
 

I would've been giddy as well, but I'm out of town. Can't watch the game :(

I hope I don't learn who wins in the next 5 days.

Re: NFL Playoff Pick'em
 

LOL! Good luck with that...

Re: NFL Playoff Pick'em
 

Congrats, Bond.

Re: NFL Playoff Pick'em
 

That was a good game, congrats Bond. I felt it was a bit anti climatic at the end, but you knew the game was over once the 4th down was done with.

On the other hand, what the fuck happened at the half time show? That may have been the single worst live "performance" I have ever heard in my life. The whole show was a huge embarrassment, including Slash.

Re: NFL Playoff Pick'em
 

Honestly, watching it again... I don't see what people thought was so bad about it. :ohreilly: I found it to be one of the more entertaining halftime shows in the last 5-8ish years. IMO the last three ones were worse.

I think they should keep letting people who do "pop" handle the show, and not these lame rock bands. It's supposed to be entertaining and flashy, not just a lame music preformance... that's how I see it anyway. lol

Re: NFL Playoff Pick'em
 

You should never expect the half time show to be great. It's always going to be some band who has like 15 minutes to do as much crap as possible. It's never going to be a concert or anything. All in all I thought this one was fine.

Re: NFL Playoff Pick'em
 

Personally, I don't understand why they even have a band play at halftime. I mean, alright - obviously I understand - but logic of putting on a good show would dictate that you want something that everyone will enjoy, not just some, a handful, or even half will.

Re: NFL Playoff Pick'em
 

I'd just like to see a super awesome marching band or something. I know that really isn't part of pro football's tradition, but a super great marching band would be sweet.

Also, I'm happy for my dad who is a lifelong Packer fan, but I was pretty bummed again this year seeing another team that isn't the Eagles celebrating. Maybe the Flyers and Phillies can bring the parades this year.

Re: NFL Playoff Pick'em
 

I totally support switching to a full marching band show. They could even do lights. Marching bands kick ass....nothing is more cool than seeing a drum line or hundreds of Brass and Woodwind instruments cranking out the Imperial March.

Whether or not your gravitate towards hip hop or rock, there is no denying that the sound was awful at the Superbowl. The mics were way too loud, Firgie was yelling into her microphone, the two other singers were off beat and out of tune, the autotune was out of tune....I'm sure the sound engineer got fired.
