West is Best

[darken65]

5 playoff teams and a 10-6 team that didn't make the playoffs.

East is Least.

This is true for the moment. The East teams have their mouths firmly locked on the NFL and the medias' cocks. No west team or conference matters more than the East. Dictator Goodell even has a SB being played in the East...a big mistake if the weather prevents the rich who can afford the price of a ticket to get to the game.

I would agree were it not for the AFC South.


Edit: Referring to the quality of the division.

Kramer just to give you a dose of reality here. The Broncos last year beat Baltimore at Baltimore 34-17 and at one point I think it was 34-3. The Broncos also only lost one game all season at home before the playoffs and that was clear back in September when Peyton was still getting used to playing again. Next thing you know the Ravens go on to beat the Broncos at Mile High. They had some lucky breaks like a tipped pass for a touchdown or a 70 yard bomb with less than a minute left in the game. This is the NFL where a bounce here or a bounce there can decide the game. Don't even get me started on the refs and how they can sway a game. Throw in the Bengals have the worst thing you would want heading into the playoffs and that is an inconsistent quarterback. Who knows if the pressure of the playoffs gets to him. I mean look at his 2 playoff games against Houston having 0 touchdown passes to 4 interceptions. Now I know it is early in his career and quarterbacks usually take a couple of years to get their bearings in the playoffs but who is to say that this is the year that he does.

I would agree. My point is not how great a team or division is ,just that the media will always talk about the teams from the east over the west. South vs North I'm not real sure on.

I said I give the Chargers a 5% chance. Just like the flukey Ravens last season. It's going to be a fluke if the chargers win. A miracle.

No

Shocking. Tubbs was a much better poster than you but he screwed up. Your trolling is forgettable.

You got me. At least I can blame my phone for the typo. You can't blame the stupidity you type on anyone other than yourself.

I never claimed to be smart....just confident. It may be a fools confidence, but it's confidence nonetheless.

And maybe your prediction comes to fruition. If it doesn't, you're making yourself out to be a fool. Try a little objectivity and realism. Dalton can easily make you the fool, so I'd suggest a little caution.

The Bengals being undefeated at home is not credible evidence to you? Their offensive prowess and the Chargers abysmal defense isn't either? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! Wheeee!

Ok, buddy. Sure. Sure thing. None of that matters. It's all irrelevant. Whatever you say.

Broncos had not lost at home in the regular season in 18 games I think until the Chargers upset them and they had the best offense in NFL History.

Any given Sunday, turnovers, INTS, Fumbles, it's not like the Bengals are immune to these.

Where's the fun in that? He's all in for his team. So am I. I think we're both prepared to deal with the consequences if it all blows up in our faces. After all, for 23 years that is what has happened to Bengals fans. We are tough nuts.

 

[Morpheus]

I'll chalk this up to childish trolling. Nobody could be this stupid.

Bolts worst loss was by 8 points. Bengals could definitely win but the Chargers don't get blown out. Don't forget road wins at Philly, Denver, and KC. Playing in Cincy certainly won't scare them.

Actually, the lowly Raiders beat them by 10,

which is a great argument for the Chargers upsetting the Bengals.

"Clinically insane" is the term, I believe.

 

[flaraider]

huh? the last several SB's have been very competitive (non-blowouts)...... not sure what you are referring to ......

I definitely think last years SB was fun to watch from the outside, one of the more entertaining in memory, I doubt if this year can beat that.

I'll be here right after the game on Sunday, bud. If the Bengals lose (they won't) you can laugh at me. You won't hear any excuses from me.

At least the emphasis should be on "nuts".

And as fun as that sounds, I won't look for you. If I see you in another thread I might say something but otherwise, I'm not concerned. I don't see either team as a threat to my team even if our teams reach the Super Bowl. I just think you're being a little over-zealous.

Your team is losing to the Packers, bud. Losing handily.

lol @ the OP, I'm not sure if it was the Football gods or the mafia or just the refs, BUT the Chargers should NOT even be in the playoffs this year. You've seen the various highlights of how the Chiefs were cheated.
The Steelers must be devastated.
