    Who will be in the SuperBowl?
    I was wondering who everybody thought would make it to the superbowl. Or who they would want to win the superbowl? I think it should be Colts vs. Giants! How awesome of a game would that be? First Peyton, then Eli, now it would be brother vs. brother and Peyton should win it. The Colts have struggled this year, but I think they are playing like a team now and will make it the rest of the way. Does anybody have any input?

    The Colts? I seriously doubt the Colts will be in the superbowl with a 7 and 4 record. Yeah they had a good game this week... against San Diego (who have an even worse record)

    Stranger things have happened but if every team keeps playing at the level they are at now it will be Giants vs. Titans with the Giants winning again.

    THE EAGLES (hahaha they stink)I think the Giants will make it and win it again. The AFC is so Horrible right now I can't even predict who will make it out. I don't think the Titans will do well in the playoffs. Colts always have a shot. And as much as I hate them you still can't count the Pats out. AFC west is so crazy that if the Raiders get on a roll they have a slim very slim chance of winning the AFC west.

    Oh yeah, I think the Colts could make the playoffs too but as for the big game... I don't think it will be them.

    We shall see kind of soon!

    Ok. So, I would say that the titans are at least going to the afc champ game. Hopefully against the colts. And I think the colts have a chance at beating them this time. The colts have been doing bad this year, but are picking up. I deffinately think the giants will go to the superbowl. It would be awesome if it was brother vs. brother though. Which puts pressure on oth of them. Haha

    YEah I would like to see P&E superbowl. But in a way I don't want to see that because the media would just over hype it so much I won't even want to watch it.
  • Nov 25, 2008, 03:02 PM
    adam_89

    Haha. That is true. It would go huge, and then I would eventually get tired of it. I do want to see it though. I like Eli, but Peyton is my guy. Peyton beat his bro a few years ago, but Eli has matured much since then. I just want to see it. It does seem like everybody in the AFC is doing bad this year. Well, except Tennessee, which I don't know where that came from anyhow. If Indy beats Tennessee at the end of the season, I would say the colts will go to the big game!

    Its going to be a MEADOWLANDS Super Bowl!!

    Brett will exact revenge on Eli.

    You heard it here first ;)
  • Nov 26, 2008, 04:22 AM
    adam_89

    Well, thank you for that. I wouldn't ever put anything past Brett. He always has a surprise up his sleeve. The other game I would want to see is Jets vs. Packers. There Brett could get revenge on his old team for disowning him.

    Huh? Titans have only lost one game! They are 10 and 1 so far... I'm pulling for them, well, I am from Tennessee. :p

    I saw on SportsCenter this morning that if both the Jets and Giants make it the championship games they both have home field advantage they will play one game on Sunday and then the other game on Monday.

    I am from Indiana so I am for Indianapolis. Haha. Just because they have one game doesn't mean much. The Giants have lost one game. Last year the Pats went all the was but lost the big one. The Colts went like 13-0 one year before losing a couple. So it happens to everyone, it doesn't mean that they will win everything. Sorry. My team and your team are rivals. Good luckthough!

    Yeah but that one loss was their last game and it was a total domination by the Jets. I think it exposed their weaknesses. ;)

    The Titans dominated the Lions on Thanksgiving, but that doesn't give them bragging rights. It's the lions for crying out loud. I sometimes wonder if I could play better than some of their players. Haha

    Aaaaah is anyone going to bring up Da Bears? Ha Or the Steelers?
  • Nov 29, 2008, 06:35 AM
    adam_89

    Well, I wouldn't count the skins out but they will probably lose against the giants this week.
    I really don't think the Saints are going anywhere this year.
    The Bears are rebuilding quite nicely this year, but I don't know if they have it enough together to get to the big game.
    I don't think the steelers could get past some of the teams that they would have to face.

    These are just my opinions, but I love everybody's opinions.

    I am sure it will be the Giants from the NFC. The Titans are a fluke, they won't last in the playoffs. The Colts are not good enough this year. The Pats are still recovering from what the Giants did last year. The Jets have Brett, you can never count out Brett. But the team I really think will make it is the Steelers. They would give the Giants the best run for their money

    I just can't say much anymore! I would love to say the colts are going end of story but that game in cleveland really scared me. If we don't absolutely blow Detroit out of the water, I will probably laugh and then count them out. Haha.

    I would love to see brother against brother, it would make a great storyline. But who would Archie root for?
  • Dec 4, 2008, 01:31 PM
    adam_89

    Haha. I would love that game. I think they wouldn't wear either jersey, then at halftime whoever was up they might slip on that jersey. Haha
  • Dec 8, 2008, 07:09 AM
    1099669

    Ha Ha. When Joe Morris used to play for the Giants, his brother played for the Redskins. When the Giants played the Redskins his father would wear one teams jersey and their mother would wear the other teams jersey and at halftime they would switch jerseys.

    I would kill myself from the over the top media coverage of a Manning vs. Manning Superbowl. :eek:

    That said, I am wishing for Jets vs. Giants. But I actually think it will be Steelers vs. Giants.
  • Dec 15, 2008, 11:37 AM
    adam_89

    Yes, Steelers vs. Giants is a likely game. Also maybe Steelers vs. Panthers!

    The colts are the hottest team in the NFL right now. Don't let the wildcard seeding fool you. Might just be Manning vs Manning.

    I am a huge Colts fan and I think you and me are the only ones here that think that

    I agree the Colts look good lately. They should kill the Chargers in the first round. My other picks for the first round are Falcons, Dolphins and Eagles.

    So, you hear that they fired the Lions, Browns, and Jets Head coach? Kind of funny, kind of sad. There are so many coaches getting fired this year!
  • Dec 31, 2008, 07:18 AM
    spitvenom

    How about Mike Shanahan getting fired. I didn't see that coming at all! I mean yeah the Broncos haven't been that great lately but man.
  • Dec 31, 2008, 07:51 AM
    adam_89

    I didn't hear that one, I heard today that 49's offensive coordinator was fired. It seems like somebody else was fired. I think some offensive and defensive coordiantors here and there. Teams just keep disposing of Coaches like nothing. Didn't it start with Oakland's Coach in the start of the season? Now would be a bad time to be a coach in the NFL. Haha
  • Dec 31, 2008, 08:42 AM
    spitvenom

    Oakland changes their coach almost every year. When is Al Davis going to wake up and realize the coach isn't the problem it is him. I feel bad for Oakland fans because that team is never going to improve until Al Davis is no longer the owner. Unfortunately I don't think he will ever give up ownership until he is dead.

    Here is a link for the Mike Shanahan story ESPN - Denver Broncos fire Mike Shanahan after season falls apart
  • Dec 31, 2008, 08:52 AM
    jjwoodhull
    The problem is we have such a "win now" culture in sports. The coaches are given no slack for mistakes, off years or injuries. Critics feel Denver didn't play to their potential this year - so out with Shanahan.

    Now who's going to fill all these vacancies? Mike Holmgren and Bill Cowher seem to be serious about not working next year. When defensive coordinators get promoted to first time coaches, will the fans and media be patient with them? Probably not.

    I understand that it's big business, but it's getting crazy.

    I think it is funny how 2 weeks ago EVERYONE in Philly was screaming get rid of Reid and McNabb. Ok so who replaces them? Seriously the Eagles back up Kevin Kolb played half a game and got destroyed by the Ravens.

    We have that Win Now culture in football but it takes a 2 or 3 years for a team and coach to really get to know each other. Atlanta well I am still shaking my head about how they are so good so fast.

    Atlanta had no controversy this year and the media and fans left them alone and expected nothing from them. So they quietly did their jobs and focused on football.

    The Eagles fans were crazy - there's a real chance they could make it to the Super Bowl. They are the only one's with a chance to beat the Giants.

    I was keeping that to myself thinking I would be laughed off the thread. But the eagles are scrappy and they find ways to win. I think they should get by the Vikings and they already proved they can beat the Giants. It's just whaty Eagles team will show up. It is going to be an exciting playoffs. Ravens have a real shot at getting to the Super Bowl. If I were a betting man (which I am) I would bet on a Manning vs Manning

    I think it will be a disappointing weekend for the home teams... but anything can happen, that's why they play the games...
