Broncos vs. Patriots next month should be a good one

Broncos vs. Patriots next month should be a good one

Espceically if Rob Gronkowski is back at full potential. He and Brady will be a force against Peyton's powerful arsenal.

Josh Freeman situation has certainly become something of a soap opera.

It's now being reported that the Bucs just cut him.

Huge game for my Steelers this weekend

Didn't see this posted and thought it needed to be here.

Can the Packers make the playoffs now that Aaron Rodgers is out for awhile?

Maybe if they sign Matt Flynn or bring back The Gunslinger

[AxlsMainMan]

Roethlisberger apparently wants out of Pittsburgh.

[SpecialAgentCooper]

I predicted to the Matt Flynn trade awhile ago...it just made way too much sense. I'm not sure the Pack can made the playoffs this year. I heard Rodgers was supposed to be out 4-6 weeks ad now he's saying he's shooting for Thanksgiving wtf

My Niners are looking a little rough, but we are getting back a bunch of good players at the right time of the year. Should be interesting

WOW!  How the hell did the Vikings get Sharif Floyd, an awesome DB, and Patterson?  I normally don't like unloading a lot of picks, but I think we got the better of Bill B. up in N'England! 

a quick review of the trade to this point. I think both teams did pretty well, but selfishly I'd tip the scales to NE for the time being. Patterson made some strides late though. A big play guy but he needs to develop some consistency. Patriots also drafted Aaron Dobson in the 2nd and when healthy he's been promising. Unfortunately health has been a pretty big issue.

Here's the tough part of analyzing any trade the Pats make.  Once a player arrives in New England, they're instantly better than players who arrive elsewhere.  That's based solely on the amazing system Bellichik has put in place.  You take Player A and put him on New England...put Player A on any other team and he's just not as good!  Nice situation to be in. 
If Minnesota can land a real qb, folks best watch out.  Coradarrelle has game-breaking speed and quickness.  Unfortunately for me (a vikes fan) we're too stupid to tank games and get into the top-5.  Bridgewater and Manziel would have been available!  DAMMIT!  Such is like for a Vikes fan.

I'm thinking Broncos or Patriots vs. Seahawks for the Super Bowl.

I'm thinking Broncos or Patriots vs. Seahawks for the Super Bowl.

The Broncos almost seem too primed to be picked off, so maybe they'll actually make the Super Bowl.  They sure don't seem to have what it takes though.  All offense, soft defense.  Good pass rush, but their D can't stop anyone.  Peyton's spotty play in big games and cold weather.  A San Diego team that has given him trouble in the past, with coaches that know him well.  And even if they get by San Diego they have to take on either Indy or the Pats, both of whom they've lost to this year, along with the Chargers.

I'm thinking Pats vs Broncos in the AFC title game and the Pats likely win. The NFC i don't see anyone getting past Seattle. So Seattle vs New England in the Super Bowl. I'd have to go with Seattle to win it. I just don't think anyone is that serious of a threat.

the NFC certainly is superior to the AFC. I think Seattle and San Francisco are probably the 2 best teams in the NFL and will probably meet in the NFC Championship game. But the best team doesn't always win, like last year. So while I'd give a definite edge to either of those teams, I don't think it'll necessarily be a blowout. But none of the remaining AFC teams have a defense anywhere close to Seattle, San Fran, or even Carolina.

Definitely won't be a blowout but i still think Seattle comes out of the NFC. I'm iffy on the Niners they did squeak by the Packers. Carolina could be a threat to Seattle. In the end though one of those three teams will be holding the Lombardi trophy February second. Nobody in the AFC has a chance i don't think.

many thought the same way last season, me included, and the Ravens upset the 9ers. Anything can happen in the 1 game format.

True anything can happen but realistically one of those 3 teams should be holding the trophy in February.

I'm not sold on Carolina. Not enough offense on that team. If NE's defense can play up to snuff, they could be a factor. They've been in every game this year. All their losses have come down to the wire. The one thing that would go against them is their pass defense is way better than their porous run D, and those 3 are run first teams. And if SD can knock off Denver they could be dangerous. They have the makeup of the typical team that gets hot at the right time. They've basically been in must win mode the last 6 weeks, and that's just what they've done. Of course winning in Denver won't be easy. But if they do, watch out.

They could be this year's Baltimore. I still find it difficult to bet against the Pats and Broncos but we'll see.
