Well... I'm 0-2 on the day. I can't believe the Cardinals killed the Panthers - I didn't think they'd make it out of the first round. Guess it shows what I know!!

I think what it really shows is what a team can do when there is no pressure or expectations. They weren't even supposed to be there, right? With seemingly nothing to lose, the Cardinals just let it all hang out.

[KC13]

Ravens, Cardinals, Eagles... is this the year of the bird or what? My SB pick is toast...

[Stringer]

Chargers up by 7 quickly.

[Stringer]

Well, the league's best defense now has an energized offense...

Go Steelers!

[adam_89]

A bad day for the home teams. You have to be impressed with the Cardinals. They are peaking at the best possible time. Now for some stats: The Chargers are 0-13 in regular season games, 2-0 in playoff games at Pittsburgh. Something has to give... P.S. adam_89, wanna change those Super Bowl picks yet?

Yea, Yea, Yea I know. I couldn't believe that the 2 teams I picked were out that fast. I kind of had my doubts with the Titans winning so I was edgy with that guess, but I thought the Panthers would beat the Cards for sure. Well I think I was 2-2. I am pretty sure I guessed Steelers winning but I'm not sure. The Hard guess would be the Ravens vs. Steelers game. Anyway, I guess now for the Championship game I see:

Ravens Beat Steelers 17-14

Eagles Beat Cards 30-14

Superbowl: Battle of the Birds

Eagles beat Ravens 20-17

[spitvenom]

My superbowl picks are still alive!!

[Stringer]

Superbowl pick:

Pittsburgh 24

Philadelphia 14

[Str8stack71]

Go RAVENS!.

[jjwoodhull]

I'm going to have to go with the All Pennsylvannia Superbowl. My prediction:

Eagles 7, Steelers 17

[adam_89]

Hmm... I'm anxious to see more predictions

[jjwoodhull]

Hey, Spitvemon... what do you think? You have to be excited/confident about the Eagles. They've looked good.

[KC13]

ENOUGH about the STEELERS ALREADY!! They SUCK!! They are CIRCLING THE BOWL on their way to the SEWER!! AAAAAAHHHHHHH!! Seriously though, I really, really HATE THEM!! Ben WORTHLESSBOOGER is a PUNK-A$$ CRYBABY!! WAAAAAAAAHH!! :mad: Okay, I got that out of my system now... picks? Did someone say picks?

[jjwoodhull]

Wow KC, tell us how you really feel ;)

[KC13]

Wow KC, tell us how you really feel ;)

I held back a little...

[jjwoodhull]

Lol

[Stringer]

I held back a little...

Excellent way to get attention... I suppose.

[adam_89]

Ok, somebody had something to get out of their system huh? Well, I guess we will find out in a couple of weeks who is the best. Does anybody ever think that it doesn't determine much? I mean a team could have a bad week or they could have beat a team in the playoffs that another team didn't. Just things like that. Sometimes teams don't always play the best, so sometimes the superbowl doesn't always determine the best.

[jjwoodhull]

It doesn't necessarily determine the best. It's true of all sports. It's about who gets hot at the right time, who plays better under pressure, who has the least injuries, etc.

That said - the playoff system in professional sports is great for creating excitement and I wouldn't want to see it changed.

[adam_89]

Very well put JJ. I wouldn't change anything if I could either. I love the excitement in football. I played a little in my day. Haha. I think I brought luck with me. When I was at one school they won close to 70 straight season games, then I transferred schools and I played for another team and we went undefeated. We were the first team to go undefeated in over 30 years. Then the school I was at lost their first game after I moved. Haha. I miss those days.

[KC13]

Okay, I'll reluctantly give the Steelers credit for an outstanding 3rd quarter Sunday. But I still hate 'em. Clocksuckers.
