NFC & AFC Championships - Predictions Here



No love for the Jets, eh? They've beaten Manning and Brady back to back, both while being the visiting team. IMO, they've already had their toughest post-season matchups. The team that's hottest in the playoffs isn't necessarily the one that did best in the regular season...

My issue is that Sanchez is so inconsistent. Week one of the playoffs he was terrible.

It's all right here: http://www.wickedfire.com/shooting-...ac-10-quarterbacks-superbowl.html#post1140827

I would defiantly take Big Ben over Sanchez. NE just didn't play a good game.
 
I love the fact that the Packers are favorites- so far that's been the Kiss of Death in this playoffs ;)

My Stupid, Meaningless, Hopeful, Wish-It-Could-Be-So Picks:

Bears/Packers: Close game near the over/under- Bears by a score (maybe in OT)
Side Prediction: Three (3) Packers leave the game on backboards.

Steelers/Jets: Blowout Steelers- Jets get butthurt.
Sanchez gets all emo and cries all the way to the locker room.

Bears/Steelers SB: Bears Win! Bears Win!

Back to work, no stats, etc.

Your failing to take in account that the Colts and Patriots defenses belong in a powder-puff league.

Steelers win 24-17
Packers win 34-21
 
this thread is so gay

i'm a big aaron rodgers/greg jennings fan but rage9's retarded fanboyism really makes me want the packers to lose in a big way. at the same time, the bears don't deserve to win cause they are a shit team. i can't even believe they got this far in the playoffs.

football sucks this year :(

Here are the simple facts fuck stick, I really didn't want to waste my time writing this but so be it.

Let's start by talking team vs team:
Regular Season Standings (Offense):
Packers
Points Scored: 24.2 avg (10th)
Yards: 358.1 avg (9th)
Pass Yrds: 257.8 avg (5th)
Rush Yrds: 100.4 (24th) And we don't have a running game

Bears
Points Scored: 20.9 avg (21st)
Yards: 289.4 avg (30th)
Pass Yrds: 188.4 avg (28th) Go Cutler go!
Rush Yrds: 101.0 (22nd) Which you didn't beat us in until the last game of the season

Regular Season Standings (Defense):
Packers
Points Scored: 15 avg (2nd)
Yards: 309.1 avg (5th)
Pass Yrds: 194.2 avg (5th)
Rush Yrds: 114.9 (18th)

Bears
Points Scored: 17.9 avg (4th)
Yards: 314.3 avg (9th)
Pass Yrds: 224.2 avg (20th)
Rush Yrds: 90.1 (2nd) Good thing we don't depend on our run game to win games

Without really diving hard into the stats, because that's going to take forever I'll touch on the generics.

The Packers (regular season) had more total First Downs (312 vs 263), converted better on Third Down (41.4% vs 32.8%), had more Total Offensive Yards (5730 vs 4631), had more Sacks (47 vs 34), controlled the clock better (32:01 vs 29:30), and had a better Turnover Differential (+10 vs +4).

Now let's talk QB's because for some reason or another people are ready to somewhat crown Cutlers ass, for no apparent reason. HE STILL SUCKS ASS.

Cutler (regular season) 23 TD's 16 INT's 86.3 QB rating (ranked 16th). 5 games where he failed to throw a TD (33.3% 5/15) one of which was against the last game against the Packers. I think one of those in fairness was when he got knocked out with a concussion. He also had 1 rushing TD, so for him to have 2 in the playoffs against a awful Seahawks team that shouldn't have been there in the first place doesn't speak volumes about him as a runner. I still find it hilarious the game against WAS where he threw 4 picks to the SAME guy, then in his presser after says that he'd keep throwing it his way every time. The dude is straight LO Fucking L.

Rodgers (regular season) 28 TD's 11 INT 101.2 (ranked 3rd ). 2 games where he failed to throw a TD, one was when he got knocked out with a concussion against Detroit. 4 rushing TD's and is ranked #2 in the league for running as a QB only behind Vick. Although it's hard to really quantify post season stats VS Cutler because the Bears haven't played anyone that you could quantify his results from, Rodgers has 6 passing TD's and one Rushing TD.

The Packers are red hot. Having won their last 4 games all MUST WIN. They are dialed in and blew out 2 good teams in those 4 games when it mattered the most. James Starks bring a much need run balance. Awesome against the Eagles and meraly OK against Atlanta, but why run it when you can carve up the secondary? The Packers can attack any part of the field, and have the ability to go for the long ball consistently. They constantly try to run only to setup play action. Every one of the six losses this season where decided by 4 points or less and they can hang with anyone. They play a heavily mixed up 3-4 scheme on defense and can blitz from anywhere. Clay Mathews has become such a threat that defenses are constantly too worried about him and someone else comes in and gets the sack.

The Bears snuck into a #2 seed. It really seemed like they just got the breaks when it mattered, but that's just football. The come off a buy week and beat a crappy Seahawks team. For having better running backs, their running game isn't that good. Cutler is flappable if we can get pressure on him. They play a relatively unimaginative cover 2 scheme on defense. The Bears didn't find good offensive success until after the buy week when they started focusing on quick short passes. That's their game, and we know it. Cutler just isn't that good going down field. Yes he went long last week but against what was a game against a poor defense.

Keys to the game:

Packers need to stick with the run to setup the pass, but can unload into 4 wide sets when the going get's tough. They need to keep Hester in check and not allow a big return. They need to get pressure on Cutler to keep him off balance and force the bad mistakes he's bound to make. If the Packers can shut down the Bears run game I'd say it's over.

Bears need to watch the deep part of the field, Rodgers can and will throw the long ball. Cutler needs to step it up on 3rd down and move the chains in tough spots. Also unlike Atlanta when you get penetration you need to make the sack.

Let the games begin fuckers Bears are going DOWN!

How did that kind of thinking work out for patriot fans?

J-E-T-S L-O-L! I don't know what that even has to do with this game. Because the Jets squeaked their way through round one, and played well against against the Pats (who self imploded) that obviously must mean that we are in for an upset here!

I LOVE Bears fans, they argue with no real reason what so ever, because they have no real argument. They're like Soccer fans, except they live in Illinois. :thumbsup:

While you guys are bitching and moaning Title Town is going to be stackin' hardware.

How about you Football wanabees, come with some decent smack or facts to back your noise up?

All I'm getting here is "the O Line has got better", yeah but it's still not that good. "Cutler has a huge arm", yeah of which he uses to throw massive amounts of picks. "The last game against GB was really close", yeah so was the last time we played Atalanta before we blew them up. "Cutler had 4 TD's last game", way to tear up a team that came into the playoffs at 7-9.

I just tell it like I see it, and if that hurts your ass then it's all gravy in my book.
 
Packers - 24
Bears - 13

Aside from me still being pissed about the Megatron incident in week 1, I'm actually impressed with the Bears - they are a lot better than I thought they'd be. I just think Cutler reminds me too much of Favre, so I expect to see the big INT at the worst possible time, probably Woodson with a pick 6 to seal the win. Rodgers is playing out of his mind the last month and Green Bay just seems to be on a mission ever since getting housed 7-3 by the Lions.

Steelers - 27
Jets - 6

I think the Jets shot their load against New England and now they are running into a motherfucking buzzsaw up there in Pittsburgh. Nobody can run the ball against them which is gonna force "Sanchise" to bend over for Polamalu. No vaseline, Jets lose big.
 
Can't believe I'm saying this but, GO Pack! Screw the Bears, they were gifted a win against the Lions in game 1 and I'm still bitter.

Pittsburgh over the Jets in a tight one.
