Who cares what the experts say now? Like I said earlier, the last time the Chargers were tipped, they bottled it. If I was a Packers fan I'd be very confident now.

I'm not predicting the AFC at all, but I see a Cowboys, Packers NFC Championship game with the Packers coming out on top at JerryLand. They have the D and they have the QB.

Just set up an RLFans Playoff Fantasy Football league on NFL.com if anyone is interested. Here's the link: http://challengegames.nfl.com/playoffch ... gues/12967 If that doesnt work search "RLFans" in the leagues section. The password strangely enough is "rlfans" You will need to register 1st. It's also not the same link as the original FF. Team selectons start at 5pm today.

No. We are 4-4 against teams at .500 or over. We had a soft schedule but we did a good job with it, i believe New Orleans had the easiest schedule however, or at least i'm pretty sure i read that. We were always going to face more losing teams going up against the divisions we did. Usually always 2 losing teams in our own division (4 games a year), we played your division (2 or 3 losing teams a year) and the AFC North (always 1 losing team). That makes it guaranteed we'd be facing at least 7 games against losing teams, in actual fact we faced 8 teams with losing records.

Dallas are 5-5 against teams at .500 or over.

You have beaten one team with a winning record....(dont count the cardinals stiffs).

I agree, i was just commenting on the fact that the fear factor ranking seem to be ridiculous.

As for us, i'm very confident that so long as we keep Rodgers standing up we can make the Superbowl. Defence is our strong point, #1 in turnover differential with + 25. #1 in Interceptions as a team. #1 rushing yards allowed.


AFC i can't see it being anybody but San Diego. I hate Rivers with a passion but he is excellent. Indy have blown it, they will have no momentum going into the play-offs having lost twice. The Bengals and Ravens will fall short. New England are damaged goods and will go out this week IMO. The Jets are an enigma but ultimately a rookie QB will bring them down.

I think it will be a NFC Championship game of Packers @ Vikes and AFC being Jets @ Chargers (if thats possible)

I must have imagined our other wins against Dallas, Baltimore and the 49ers (49ers are .500 at 8-8) then?

They had losing records or 500 when you beat them. I will say it again "you have beaten 1 team with a winning record". Full credit for beating a decent Baltimore team though who were a better team than their record suggested at the time.

D'oh. I must keep upto date. My apologies.

P.S Still only 3 this season though with a winning record.

Which isnt your fault as can only beat what is infront of you.

Yeah, it's a fair point. You may not be happy about being so low, I'm not happy about being so high! I really believe SD have everything in place this year, but I don't think we'll get there. Something will go wrong, it always does.

The 2nd string beat the Redskins last night (well, it was the 2nd string after they were 13-0 up), and the HUGE bright spot for me was BUSTer Davis, our 07 number 1 pick. He looked like a good underneath receiver and I'm hoping he's over his injury nightmares. If we can work him into the game plan along with Gates, V-Jack, MoFlo and Nannee we'll be scary. I know one swallow doesn't make a spring (or is it summer) and all that, but there's hope.

I don't get the Rivers hate round the league. Is it his verbal with Cutler that got peoples backs up? From what I read, it was very much 6 of one in that encounter. If it's his passion and celebrating then I guess it's just him. Off the field he is as mild manner a player as I've seen, married his highschool bird, keeps himself to himself and seems very respectful of opposition teams, coaches and players. He is my biased MVP.

Does anyone remember my opinion on Cutler before the season by the way? Cry baby, blames everyone but himself and over-rated? I hate to say I told you so....
