I'm still hoping for a Denver vs Hawks superbowl though. Also, Carroll-even though I hate him-could turn his rivalry with Harbie into the stratosphere if he just went for 2 point conversions here on out.

They'll be competitive but they're undefeated at home and only 3-5 on the road. They may win their Wildcard game, especially if it's against Washington or Dallas, but I don't see them winning what is going to likely be three straight road games.

Well, if it's any consolation for this complete beatdown, I can't see any possible way the Niners lose to the Cards next week , so they'll still win the division.
Presumably, Carroll will play his starters lightly next week, so they don't get rusty, but also minimizes injury risks? Edit: Oh, I stand corrected. Seattle has an outside chance of securing a round 3 home field advantage if they win next week, and the Niners lose to the Cardinals, so maybe they do put in a little effort, though I still can't fathom any possible sequence of events that has the Niners losing to the Cards.

I know, as a Bears fan, I have to root for the Vikings, but I honestly don't care at this point. I have zero faith in my Bears winning a playoff game this year, so...meh. About the best I can really hope for is that Minnesota and Green Bay destroy each other so badly that regardless of which makes the playoffs, either one of them is out in the first round. Yes, I don't buy into conference pride. At all. If my Bears aren't going to win a SB, I sure as hell don't want the Vikings or GB doing so. Really want to see Denver vs Seattle for the big game. I think Denver vs Green Bay is the most likely option, however.

For the record, I obviously think Seattle wins big in that matchup, and I hope it'll force the media to acknowledge Wilson as RotY. I just don't see anyone in the AFC beating Denver. Unlike the days when Manning was with the Colts, Denver hasn't relaxed one bit going into the playoffs. Edit: Also, while I'd like Seattle to play Washington, so Wilson can get the RotY award, I think it's very unwise for the Redskins to overlook the Cowboys. I'm no Dallas fan by any stretch of the imagination, but they are playing some good football right now, and a win is hardly a lock for Washington.

The NFC is another story. It's a pretty big crapshoot. No surprise. To be honest, I kinda hope they win. I find myself actually liking Tony Romo, he has to put up with a lot of shit. |

But, in the end, teams have to win it on the field, and not the message boards, so who knows. Quote:
Normally I'd be rooting for the Cowboys to beat the Redskins, but I want a Wilson vs RG III match-up too much this year.

Despite all the insanity, you'd think this season has more plusses for Dallas than last season. At least they can control their fate since they're versing Washington. That and Packers-Vikings will make for an intriguing finish as usual in the NFC.

I think their only real bad game was against the Seahawks, everything else has been rather close when it was small mistakes (I think they're #1 in Penalties this season...) that ended up costing them games they should have had in the bag (Ravens and tonight the Saints spring to mind). The lack of defense in the middle of the field was gut wrenching...
