NFL Playoffs are here!

Just watched the Carolina Panthers beat the Arizona Cardinals in the first Wild Card game of the weekend. Now it's my Pittsburgh Steelers doing battle with the Baltimore Ravens. I like to OD on football at this time of the year, 'cause there's a huge void right after the Super Bowl is over. The games are on a little late for my liking, starting at 5:30 pm and then 9:30 pm local time, but what the hell. It's Saturday, and I can sleep late tomorrow. Then there's two more games tomorrow, completing Wild Card weekend.

Gotta figure the New England Patriots and the Seattle Seahawks have to be among the favorites to make it to the Super Bowl.

Damn..... looks like Pittsburgh's gonna lose to Baltimore.
Nothing against the Ravens, but they're gonna get their butts kicked next week against the Patriots.

I think Dallas and Colts win tomorrow. I'm tryna enjoy this weekend just watching football my team don't play til next weekend.

My Seahawks play next weekend and hopefully get the two wins at home and then onto the Superbowl again. A repeat would be nice

I am slightly rooting for Dallas to beat the Packers. Hawks beat Pathers and then Dallas to get to the superbowl. Dallas fans are like the Cardinal fans, they feel like, winning in Seattle is like winning the Superbowl. Now a healthy defending champ on defense and a focus (no more percy) offense in an NFC championship game against Dallas would be fun to watch Slaughterhouse Seattle

On the AFC, I am rooting for Andrew Luck and the Colts.

I agree, I think Dallas and Indianapolis win Sunday's games.

Funny... I've been a Cowboy hater for many years. I think it stems from their penchant for calling themselves "America's Team". I also lived in Houston for a couple of years, and there seemed to be more Dallas fans than Houston fans in Houston (back when Houston had a team). For most part, Cowboy fans were snobbish, pretentious fans. My perception has changed over the years, especially given the fact that the Cowboys have had some very tough, humbling seasons. Also, fantasy football has changed a lot of things during the regular season (LOL)..... to where I've seen myself owning a Dallas player here and there and obviously root for them to excel.

Aside from all that, I'm rooting for Dallas in Sunday's game simply because I cannot stand Ndamukong Suh from the Detroit Lions. The guy is a walking time bomb, constantly getting fined and suspended for trashy crap that has no business on a football field. The latest incident... his purposely stepping back and pressing down on Aaron Rodgers' leg while the QB was lying on the ground.... was downright childish. Too bad he was allowed to get away with it. I'll bet more than a few fans from all cities would love nothing more than to see Suh get flattened and humiliated by a bigger, tougher badass.

I don't think so. Ball Hawks!

Steeler loss...those two picks changed the tone of the game

This is a Packer Superbowl year: War Pack War!

[TitoFan]

Well...... I hope the Pack takes care of the Dallas Cowboys, who were gifted a trip to Green Bay courtesy of one of the worst calls in the history of the NFL (the pass interference flag that was picked up when it was in reality a blatant pass interference against the Cowboys!!). Talk about a game changing referee blooper!!! The Lions outplayed the Cowboys and deserved better.

The Lions should of put up more than two field goals in the second half. With all that weapon on Offense, that is unacceptable.

Cowboys didn't look as good as I thought they would. I pick the Packers and Seahawks for the NFC Championship.

Packers and Seahawks sounds about right. Gotta be mindful of Rodgers' strained calf, though. If Rodgers' can't go the whole game, or the calf limits his mobility, the Cowboys might have a chance. I love defense..... so the Seahawks-Panthers game ought to be a tremendous game.

bad reffing in every sport.
Just awful to reverse that call.
Hopefully Pack will destroy Dallas.

I thought Flacco had you guys again. I didn't watch the game but saw it at one point 28-14 RAvens
