2 Choking Teams

Pittsburgh had NE beat had it not been for an additional 52 seconds on the clock which gave N.E the extra time to score the winning points

You are aware that those 52 seconds were irrelevant, aren't you?

Re: Patriots

This team is not even close to a playoff caliber team. 3 wins against teams with winning records. The only impressive win was against Tampa Bay. Atlanta didn't have thier QB, and also were flat out screwed by the refs. Pittsburgh had NE beat had it not been for an additional 52 seconds on the clock which gave N.E the extra time to score the winning points (check ESPN for it, it was posted promptly after the conclusion of that game). New England returning to form is the biggest joke I might have heard this year, seeing as they beat the Jets, Bills, Fins(which was almost a loss) and lost to any team other than Tampa that resembled a decent team that could block a pass rush.

So you're basing your claim that they are not a playoff-caliber team right now on the fact they looked horrible early in the season with half their players out?

You're an idiot and should be banned from the sports forum.

and the Colts will limp into the playoffs with 2 losses, basically no games in 4 weeks

it was for this reason that I thought the colts would come out today and try to make a statement, but then I heard about all the injuries and resting people this game makes more sense. I don't think it counts as limping when they pretty much gave this game away today for the sake of the playoffs - it'll be up to the coaches to motivate them properly and put this game and the next into perspective.

I agree that a lot of teams could give them more trouble than anticipated. the bengals, for example, gave them a really good game a month or so ago. still, I think with home field and their 1st string out there, they've gotta be big favorites.

I don't see anyone in the NFC stopping the seahawks, I'm a Tampa fan but we just don't match up. chicago maybe, but their defense will have to step it up BIG. anything could happen of course but I still think the chances of these two teams meeting is high.

How about the Giants? They had 3 chances at game winning field goals(on the road in Seattle). This seems evidence enough for me that they can "hang" with the Seahawks.

The last time both #1 seeds made it was 1993 Buffalo/Dallas. I think the Seahawks are much worse than average for a #1 seed, so I would bet against it although the whole NFC pretty much sucks so who knows.

I'll say this much, if they do both make it to Detroit, Seattle might regret their decision to stick SA back in for another TD to tie the record after they had already pulled him. You know that had to irk the hell out of all the Colts defensive starters that were rested today.

If the Colts defenders need more motivation in the Super Bowl than winning the Super Bowl, they are in trouble anyways.
