I've had to turn the sound down as Aikmen and Buck are so far up the Packers arses it's untrue Aikman saying he'd pick Rodgers as his QB if he were starting a team,lets not have Brady Troy as he's only won 3 rings.Then Buck saying the Packers offence the way there playing at this stage of the season will be sending shockwaves through the rest of the playoff teams,the same Packers offence that got 10 points at home to the Bears 2 WEEKS AGO.Now the Cowboys are sh!te they seem to have shifted their man love the the Packers.

I agree.

I mean why on earth would you want the QB who is already as good if not better as Brady despite being 5-8 years younger?
The QB who has thrown 10 TD's in 3 play-off games with 12 total TD's. The most ever by any QB in his first three games?
The best passer rating of a QB over his first 3 play-off games?
The QB of the team who have never trailed by more than 7 points and have lost by a combined 20 points?
The QB of the team who have scored 124 points in the last 4 weeks (essentially all play-off games)?

I suppose you could have your favourite Matt Cassell instead.

I wish it was 9.30

I have never been as nervous about any game as I am tonight's!

It's gone from a season with no big expectations to if we lose I will be absolutely gutted!

Yeah, those Patriots are no good aren't they.

Brady is awesome and is still the best QB around IMO but there's still some question marks about their D for me. Especially the secondary. I think a good defensive team could be too much for them. I think they will win fairly convincingly tonight though. Next week will be tough.

I agree about our D we are very inexperienced but we have come on a lot in the last few weeks/months, we have had a lot of takeaways, we have beat a lot of the teams that qualified for the play-offs already this year and by some margin in most cases, Belichick is an expert at getting the team ready for the business end of the season usually but we all know what play-off football is like and that's why I am pooping my pants

Like I said earlier at the start of the year and especially when we were turned over by Cleveland there was no great expectations about this season, but now we are in this position we need to take advantage and do something with it

I wouldn't be completely shocked if the Seahawks turned over the Bears either though last weeks performance must have taken a lot out of them.

Rodgers better than Brady. Good one.

Rodgers is excellent but as is often the case Conroy you spoil an otherwise decent post by ejaculating at just the wrong time. You really ought to do a better job as keeping your pants from exploding every time you think of the Packers QB. You should also accept that A-Rod is either a baseball or tennis player.

Any debate on the issue would be futuile because we don't agree. You won't change my mind and I won't change yours.

Anything Brady does Rodgers can do just as well or better and he is equally as much a leader of his team. Brady has more SB rings sure and Rodgers will eventually get his whether that is this year or not but that does not change how good a player he is NOW.

Despite which that was not the intention of my post more to counter the fact that DAR130 seemed horrified that Aikman wanted Rodgers over Brady.

Heart says Seahawks tonight, head say Bears. Lance Briggs missed the game earlier in the season and he is the player I fear most, he makes such a difference to their whole defense.

If the Seahawks can get to Cutler again they can win it. I think last week was our Superbowl sadly.

NFL countdown on now on ESPN America for those interested

Re: The All new NFL Chat thread including playoff talk : Sun Jan 16, 2011 4:23 pm  

I really honestly think the Seahawks will get another win tonight. They seem pretty decent on offence but it is all about D. Cutler is erratic at the best of times and I think they can get to him enough to cause some problems. Going to the Seahawks next week would be good but part of me really wants to go to Soldier Field for a big rivalry game (not been one since 1941) and have the honour of knocking out the 1, 2 and 3 seed.

The Patriots are going to dismantle the Jets and I really think Belicheat will run up the score. Some of the stuff they have been saying is ridiculous (Cromartie and Bart Scott) so I hope they fall flat on there faces. They are the most arrogant obnoxious team in the league and they need taking down a peg or two. They only talk so much rubbish because they are the poor relation in New Jersey trying to make a name for themselves.

Great win for the packers last night, Baltimore well and truly blew it. A strange feeling about the pats game, maybe a bit closer than some think.
Hoping for a seattle win, hence imo easier for the packers to get to the SB and win me a bit o' dosh.
