someone asked the question for the other conference... so here we go.. which of the division leaders has the best shot to make the afc championship (and win? sure)?

i think we're looking at a colts chargers afc final.

the colts for sure.

i think if New England is given the chance they might make it, but it really looks like it's going to be San Diego.

so long as its not the patriots im happy.

waterhead and the colts have every right.

i havent paid much attention to the chargers.

and my home town bengals have proved themselves to be passable this year.

Yeah, and the Broncos are probably going to drop another game before the end of the regular season and get scooped on the wildcard bid too.

Oh well, we can dream, can't we?

Patriots will get one home game against a wild card team, and that's as far as they'll get. They'll lose in the second round. Their play-calling stinks, they're one-dimensional (Brady-to-Welker all day, as nauseum) on offense, they have no pass rush, their young corners are inexperienced, and Belichick is having a bout of pig-headedness. A dynasty on the decline, as all dynasties must at some time in their history.

But please God, not the Jets!

I don't mean to be mean, but you are correct in your assessment of the Pats. It's sad and strange to see them so wobbly. I was kind of surprised to see them in the title of this thread quite frankly.

Dolphins! Wild-cat, wild-card... not a coincidence.

Jimmy Bones · #12 12-17-2009, 06:34 AM

Well, the Wildcard will be decided, I think, by the Pats/Jags game, IF the Colts lose tomorrow. If the Jags win against Indy and NE, then they could leave or take the Browns, and I think the card will be Miami/Jacksonville.

jazzy grille · #13 12-17-2009, 07:03 AM

Not the Pats, that's for sure.

They are spent, it could not have happened sooner.

To all Pats fans: HA! HA!
From: Me.

I have one statement...colts vs. chargers. Colts will finally beat the chargers in the playoffs.

Double Agent · #15 12-17-2009, 07:41 AM

I'm a Pats fan and a realist, so....

I predict Chargers beat the Colts in the AFC Championship. I don't think Cincy will really the top-notch teams and New England's defense isn't championship caliber, it isn't really even playoff-caliber. If NE can pull it together and play better defense down the stretch, they have a chance. But, I don't think this is the year for NE. The Colts have chinks in the armor and SD always gives them problems. I think SD will win, but it could go either way.

AFC Championship game will be Colts vs. Chargers. Colts win to advance to the SB.

pretty much, and this is what a lot of people fail to realize when they go on their "the dynasty is dead" rants. you can't keep a team together for a decade without replacing major cogs in the machine, and this is most definitely a rebuilding year. we've got a huge transition in defense going on, from an old, slow, but experience cast to this new, faster, but woefully inexperienced one. it will probably take a couple of years to get it together properly. so the offense was supposed to carry the team, but then you've got brady coming back one year after what is basically a two year injury, plus being banged up as the season goes (which will happen). what's more is that the offense also really misses josh mcdaniels, or some sort of offensive coordinator. since the pats won their first superbowl back in '01-'02 we've lost 4 coordinators too other teams, and they've always promoted from within.. but at the rate they've lost coordinators i think at some point you've got to bring someone from the outside in (hopefully this offseason).

well they are in the lead for their division, and barring catastrophe in buffalo will probably stay there. who else would you have in the title?

Colt v Chargers with the colts winning. Colts and Saints in the SB with the Colts winning.

Need I say more. I'm hoping for a Chargers and Saints SB. I'm also a big Brees fan when he was a our starting QB, but Rivers is not doing all that bad. I'm hoping the Chargers win the whole thing, but I would'nt be all that disapointed of the Saint take it all so I wouldn't hear that loud mouth Mercury Morris boasting about the fin's perfect season the last century.
