NFL: Offseason Discussion Thread

And now the Saints are pulling away with it. They capitalized on the mistake and ... thats what you gotta do to win. Lions just couldn't get those interceptions.

Well at least the Lions finally have some hope going into next year finally making the playoffs this year.

 

[Crippler]

lions need help in their secondary, for them to get far in the playoffs.

 

[No More Sorrow]

So the Saints play the 49ers next week right?

 

[Slim]

Lions need a running game first. Without a running game you can predict they are going to throw over 90% of the time. Running game will help with varying things.

And yeah... Saints vs. Niners next.

If the Giants win tomorrow... they'll play Green Bay. Earlier this year, we barely lost to Green Bay by a field goal. Watch out Green Bay... The G-Men's coming to get ya.

Like I said earlier the Giants scare me even more than the Saints. Giants D can get pressure on Rodgers which means the offense will be greatly hindered. With the Saints I would see it being more of a shootout with the Packers D making more big plays.

So Detroit loss, man Saints were being greedy at the end. Were they really afraid of a Lions comeback when they were up three touchdowns? Something that I do not see happening half the time. Well nice effort by Detroit but now the Saints are for sure facing the 49ers next weekend.

As for the Bengals what happened? They were looking much better in my mind than the Texans but that is what happens when you turn the ball over. That sucks always got to win the turn over battle and speaking of which this why the Lions did not win. They got the advantage when it came down to the turnovers earlier on, but they did not score which sucks.

So now we know the playoffs

NFC
Packers vs Giants/Falcons
49ers vs Saints

AFC
Patriots vs Broncos/Steelers
Ravens vs Texans

Next week looks very interesting when it comes to big games. The Texans and Ravens game will be an awesome watch. I am a huge defensive fan so it will be a fun watch for me. Than when it comes down to the Saints and 49ers it comes down to ball control in that game. The niners are good against the run so Sproles could be in check, but their pass defense could be in trouble. So really it is going to be interest how Sean Payton approaches this game and if he will be as aggressive.

Yeah next weekend is looking really good, has some good match ups.

I love the possibility of a Ravens/Steelers AFC title game, so much history and two damn good defenses.

 

[Chase]

Last time we saw those two in an AFC title game, was it not Flacco's rookie year? Could not remember but it was a bad game, plus the Ravens in the past has done bad against the Steelers when it comes down to the playoffs. Although they got two big wins this year against them, the second one was an escape, the Steelers are banged up. So they have to get past Denver first, before we see that game.

Falcons

 

[Dod Draper]

Strange 4th down attempt from Falcons.

 

[Ben]

There the kings of chocking in the playoffs, I would go with a new coach there tbh, to much talent to keep getting bounced in the playoffs.

Giants looks scary though, if they win here Rodgers is going to nave to bring his A Game and put up at least 30 points to beat them.

 

[No More Sorrow]

Boy did i call this one wrong. :Smiley_DAMN:

Watch out for the Giants.
