KC's last playoff victory was against Houston in Houston plus I like Alex Smith over any of Houston's quarterbacks. And as a Steeler fan, well I gotta go with them.
Yeah...I'd like to pick the pack but the O is their thing and it's been average at best of late. That said, I wouldn't be surprised if the packers won. They are the better team and I'd take A-Rod over Kirk any day.
Good to see another Steeler fan . Steelers defense worries me, they have beat bad in the secondary this year. Packers have not looked good of late, that game to me is a toss up. The rest of the visiting teams look to be poised to win, the Seattle game will be interesting with 0 degree temps...old school football.
Old school football I think will help Minnesota with their running game and defense, plus Beast Mode is out for Seattle. I think all four games will be really interesting. Kansas is out to a quick lead this afternoon.

Good luck to Cleveland finding a coach with the new weird front office it is making up (though it is fun to see some out of the box thinking...and how much worse can it bode for the browns?) and of course it's general futility.
I thought that Lovie had the Bucs going in the right direction, but rumors suggest they wanted to keep the O coordinator from leaving since he had a good relationship with the QB. Moneyball Browns, interesting....

Can it be worse?
But...from what I read, he's been in the big room with the hoodied one so he should at least have some inside knowledge of how and why BB does what he does, from a personnel standpoint. And I can't imagine he'd last in NE for as long as he did if he wasn't good at what he does.
But, as with all things, time will tell.

And of course playoffs begin tomorrow.
My predictions:
Chiefs over Texans (17-13)
Steelers over Bengals (24-20)
Seahawks over Vikings (38-10)
Redskins over Packers (24-21)
That last one is quite the toss up, but if Green Bay shows up like it has been showing up lately I can"t see another outcome. Also, looking forward to the uber cold that will be present in Minnesota. How I wish they would keep an outdoor stadium...

Will be interesting to see how the QB situation in Denver plays out.
As a giants fan my eyes now head towards free agency/the draft and the changing of the guard in the offices/sidelines.
The young players win games
The veteran players win championships.
Brock is not ready yet
Too much pressure for him
Really, here is some young vs. veteran for you
That's exactly my point.
A veteran (In good shape of course) may loose a game and a newbie may win 2 or 3, but in the real important games, those that define championships, you need experience.
Yesterday it was evident that Manning could manage the hard moment and regain the confidence of the team
ahhh.. and yesterday just made his eventual upcoming mplosion in the post season in a flurry of pick offs and weakly thrown footballs all the sweeter..

"steps down"
No shock here...though it is a sad day. TC will never have to buy a drink/meal in the NY metro area again...and I'm sure in the near future he will be back to have his name put into the Gmen ring of honor. It feels weird needing a coach. I wish the GM would go too...
Of course that precipitates who will they bring in for the next coach. Curious if McAdoo will be promoted or if the search will be primarily outside of the building.

The Lions leave us living the "what if" offseason. Start the season 0 and 7. End the season 7 and 2, with 1 loss being the Green Bay hail mary loss. If they had only gone 3 and 4 to start the season...if the refs made the correct call in the Seattle game....if they had split with Minnesota...

What a crazy regular season! Looks like Rex had his day against the Jets, although Jets gave it away. They played bad and gave the Steelers an undeserving gift. Thanks
No team in the AFC looks great, Steelers 2nd running back is hurt, don't know how serious yet and our defense is terrible. Ben throws too many picks along with all the yards and TDs.
Patriots O line is all banged up with no same starters from week to week it seems, plus all the other injuries.
Denver's offense is a big question mark.
Houston wins a bad division.
Chiefs seem to be the most stable of the group, but don't think they can get it done.
Bengals QB situation is still a question mark, not sure when Dalton comes back and will he pick up where he left off or be rusty.
NFC is a 3 horse race, Panthers, Cardinals, and Seahawks. Hawks look hot again.
SF and Cleveland have fired coaches, Browns are a train wreck.

REgular season is in the books. Playoffs upcoming but first...black Monday.
Predictions on who is gone and (more importantly) who replaces?
