Around the NFL - Wildcard Playoffs

This is the one game that has ugly written all over it to me.

Ben R. could sit out and they could still win big.

Yes and from what I have read, Ben is expected to play.

I think this is one of the best weekends of the season. Wild Card games are always fun!

One playoff win in 15 years? I'd love to ask Jerry that if a real GM was making the moves that caused that track record, would that GM still have a job? He knows that isn't good enough and he should fire himself. It won't happen cause his ego is the size of Texas!

Doncha just looooove it?!

Ben playing hurt worked out for them in the San Fran game didn't it?!?

Nope, Pgh got smoked but Denver isnt anywhere close to SF's caliber. Denver just doesnt score enough points.

...yet in Sept ...they will be the team to beat,...as always.

Absolutely!! Great football weekend every year but I think this season in particular looks promising. I actually think every game this weekend could be competitive.

Sure the Steelers are the better team but as beat up as that roster is Denver will give 'em a run.

Texans have been very fortunate to win games since Schaub went down. Bengals showed this season they lose to good teams and beat the bad ones...Texans are somewhere in the middle.

Giants seem to be peaking but Atlanta is the better team and should take this one.

The Lions are well matched against the Saints offensively, but the Lions defense will break apart against Saints o. Saints have the top passing attack and (maybe surprisingly) sixth best running game in the league. The ground game will be decisive against San Fran.
