Same here.  I'd love for a big road win, but I just don't see it happening.

I wish I had the same confidence as you. Megatrn vs Cary scares the sh*t out of me.

That is why I mention the 49ers in the NFC, to me they are the kinda dark horse, considering their dismal start. I would say Carolina, but I think they run out of gas in the playoffs, especially on the road.
If anyone can beat the Hawks in NFC my money goes on 49ers.

^Very true.  You always get that dark horse team that seems to run the gauntlent come playoff time and the supposed best team stumbles.  You got the Ravens from last year, the Giants the year before that and even the Packers before that weren't really favored that well against the Steelers.  All were teams that did okay in the regular season, but certainly weren't favorites going into the playoffs.

One thing to keep in mind is sometimes the best team in the NFL does not win the super bowl or even go to it. Look at the Ravens last year for proof of it. Keep it rolling Seattle.

While anything can and does happen, it's hard to see Seattle not running the table come playoff time.  Especially with home field throughout pre-SB.

What an ass game from the Saints. I knew Seattle would win but Christ, at least make it competitive. Looks like Seattle punched it's ticket to the superbowl tonight.

^ I agree...I hate to toot my horn, but I told everyone at my office mid season the SB was gonna be SEA vs DEN, the only competition SEA will have is NO...but coming back to SEA for the possible NFC Final will be the same result for Saints. Love my Saints but my 2nd team (SEA) is the bomb!
 
The AFC team will have no chance this year...even if SEA stumbles in playoffs and NO or even 49ers make it to the SB, they still beat DEN or KC....just sayin.

Well, Brees and co didn't exactly do themselves any favors...started that game dreadfully. Such drab play calling, and the fumble was a killer. Their D is brutal enough already, just hand it over to them why dont ya?
I figured the game was over then, Saints would be perpetually behind and Seattle could let their Defense smother, and sure enough.

This team has to go to SB. They are the best team in the NFC without doubt, will have home field. There for the taking.
And honestly, who's gunna represent the AFC? Denver? They look weaker by the week IMO. KC? no chance. New England? I could see them getting to the SB because it's what they do, but IDK if they can hold up against Seattle.
Bengals? Good team but I dont see it. Really, Seattle has to the SB favorite at this point.

Is nice to see a team play real defense, run the ball, and have a QB that plays a role, can step up...but doesn't always need to. Awesome. Just don't see this anymore

Hawks look really good!! Saints look lost.....Good thing about this MNF is one of my teams will win. Would prefer Saints to win but I knew they would not....The Hawks D is much better than Saints, it shows.....If anything at least Saints have stopped Lynch.
I really thought Saints O was gonna do more....oh well. I kept telling people Saints D is not that good, their O is super, but not tonight.
Long plane ride back to the Big Easy...

They look awesome, but they can't let up in the second half.  Keep the pressure on!

If we make it this season, I just hope we don't have to play the 49ers. Not because we couldn't beat them, but because ESPN would have such a f***ing field day about the Super Bowl history between those two teams.

You saying something about the Bengals!!!!

It's gotta be nervewracking to be a Chargers fan. Amazingly, the Chargers are 29-6 in December and January (regular season) since the 2006 season. That's an amazing stat right there. Another interesting stat to go with that, 3 of those 6 losses came at the hands of the Bengals. Every time I've watched those two teams play, they've put up a dandy of a game. I still recall that one back in 2006 (I think), when the Bengals blew a 35-7 halftime lead.

Yes, but you can't argue about the Lions' consistency. It is absolutely amazing how they find new and inventive ways to lose games. I mean, it's been like that for half a century. You remember the 63 yard field goal kicked by a guy with no toes?

 

Before my time, but yes I remember seeing video of it.

I am pretty certain that the Lions have to be the only team in history to lose a game because of a missed extra point. I can't remember all of the details but as I recall while playing the Minnesota Vikings a number of years back they had a rare come from behind touchdown on the final play of the game to come within one point of tying the game and sending it to overtime. I believe that it was probably Jason Hanson who had kicked like a thousand extra points in a row and the snapper flubbed the snap and the holder dropped it. Extra point missed.


http://espn.go.com/nfl/recap?gameId=261224007

The Bengals essentially missed the playoffs back in 2006 because of a muffed XP that could have sent the game to overtime. Plenty of other things happened in this game, but this is one that springs to mind for me anyway. Like Lions fans, Bengals fans also tend to recall the many missed chances in their history. Tongue
