Since we've had so many playoff topics lately, I think we should all voice our predictions. I'm sure our opinions will change as the Super Bowl approaches, so this will be quite interesting .

My predictions as of January 15:
-Panthers vs. Bears (currently on), Panthers win
-AFC Championship: Steelers vs. Broncos, Steelers win
-NFC Championship: Panthers vs. Seahawks, Seahawks win
-Super Bowl: Steelers vs. Seahawks, Seahawks win

I agree about the two teams making it to the superbowl, but I seriously doubt the Seahawks can have a good running game against the Steeler defence. The best way to beat the Steelers is in the air, and we just beat the two best teams (Colts and Bungles) with the pass attack. Steelers are going all the way this year!

No way, Broncos will beat Steelers. I was watching that game, and Jake Plummer was amazing. You can't sack him, cuz he just runs everywhere and chucks that ball with crazy accuracy.

my predictions as of 1/15
-
-AFC Championship: Steelers vs. Broncos, Steelers win
-NFC Championship: Panthers vs. Seahawks, Panthers win
-Super Bowl: Steelers vs. Panthers, will be a VERY close game and Pittsburgh wins by a run by The Bus

Let's look at the broncos touchdowns from Saturday:

First touchdown drive: One play, one yard.
First field goal drive: Four plays, seven yards.
Second touchdown drive: One play, one yard.
Third touchdown drive: Three plays, 15 yards.

That's 24 total yards for 24 points.

The pats had the worst game ever. Three fumbles and two interceptions... can the Broncos get any luckier?

The Pats had 341 passing yards against the Broncos. Broncos had only 286 passing. Neither team went above 100 yards rushing, though Denver had 17 more rushing yards than the Pats. Let's see how the game went.

2nd quarter, Pats fumble at their 40. Broncos get it back and throw it down field. Defensive pass interference is called, moving the ball all the way to the 1 yard line. Easy run in... Denver leads 7-3.

Denver kicks off, the Pats fumble and Denver gets the ball back at the New England 39. They only managed 7 yards, then had to kick a field goal. The score was now 10-3 in favor of Denver.

New England gets another field goal in the 3rd quarter, raising their score to 6. Denver is still up by 4.

New England gets the ball back after the Broncos punt. They drive pretty far down the field, only to be intercepted in the endzone. The guy ran it back 100 yards, then got nailed at the 1. I loved watching that. I wanted the Broncos to win that game, but I still admired the Pats for not giving that up. Of course, Broncos get another 1 yard touchdown (wow, that took skill...). Broncos lead 17-6.

New England gets the ball back and drives down the field again, but is stopped short of a touchdown. They go for a field goal and miss. Broncos get the ball back, and don't do too well with it. They got some yards, but the Pats defense forced them to punt it away. Lucky for the Broncos, the Pats fumbled the punt and Denver recovered it at the New England 15. Thus began Denvers longest touchdown drive of the game. Denver scores and is now up 24 to 6.

Tom Brady then throws a 73 yard pass to get to the 4 yard line. They run it in for a touchdown. Score is now 24 to 13, Denver.

Denver finally starts a scoring drive that wasn't off of a turnover. They go 61 yards, but are stopped by the Pat's defense. The field goal is good, and the Broncos are now up 27 to 13.

The game ends with that.


Let's recap:

BRONCOS ARE NOTHING WITHOUT TURNOVERS!!! Even the Texans can beat the Pats with 5 turnovers and field position like that.


Steelers will win this game.

Meh, I really don't care, as long as those Panther turds get owned by Seahawks.
