AFC Championship will be fought over between the Colts, Chargers, and Steelers, and maybe the Bengals.



...And Miami, too, of course.

 

[Max Powers]

I still think the Bengals are a fluke, the combined records of the teams they've beaten is 3-10.

Yes. The Bengals still suck. I hope they miss the playoffs.

Baltimore
Chicago
Buffalo
New England
Green Bay

I don't think the Chargers are good enough to contend for the AFC title.

[Omnis]

That's why I said maybe. a HUGE maybe. They won't go undefeated, but I think they have a good chance to make the playoffs.

I think Miami is the most improved team in the league, though.

 

[Omnis]

oh my GOD! I CAN'T BELIEVE THE DOLPHINS LOST. They were 1st place in the AFC East. Stupid rookie mistake by Ronnie Brown. He should've tucked in.

All those turnovers are friggin inexcusable.

 

[JFM92_GTRacer]

^ WTF happened??? i expected a win from them Dolphins

 

[Omnis]

Turnovers happened. The bills didn't score a damn TD all game. But if Brown hadn't fumbled, we would've brought the spanx.

 

[JFM92_GTRacer]

holy s**t i'm good!! go Cowboys!!!!

 

[Saleen Man]

Go Jaguars! Down with the crappy Bengals! The Cowboys result is kind of a shocker though.

 

[Omnis]

Cowboys were spankin' it since the first play. It wasn't a shocker, but I definitely picked wrong.

I wonder if the Colts will remain undefeated. Hopefully not, but I think they'll go extremely far.

 

[JFM92_GTRacer]

really need info on this, When is K. Boller coming back??

 

[Omnis]

Is it just me, or is Polamalu a friggin beast? That guy is just EVERYWHERE.

Bah, Dallas is never supposed to beat Philadelphia. I guess all the injuries are catching up with the Eagles though.

As for the Colts, I hope they lose in the playoffs. Again. Everyone's praising their defense, but have they played a good offensive team yet? Negative, they have not. The rest of the NFL is playing the Colts offense much better this year as well, but I'm sure it's only a matter of time before Manning figures out what the rest of the league has figured out, and corrects it.

 

[Omnis]

Freeney and that D-line are just insane, though. Any team with awesome lines on both sides of the ball will be champions. That's where football starts, my friend.

You played/play as a lineman, I'm assuming? Their defensive line is quite good, a perfect mix of rush ends and huge run stopping tackles in the middle. Their secondary has yet to convince me of anything. Highlight Monday November 7th on your calendar. Indianapolis at New England in Primetime.

 

[Omnis]

Well, yeah. I used to play Left Tackle. I quit after messing up my ankle, because it's not something I really wanted to pursue and I got sick of busting my ass so hard. Haha.

But anyway, enough about me. The line thing is the truth, though. Just look at the dolphins last year. They had a busted O-line and got DOGWALKED every game. If you don't have a D-line, you'll get destroyed in the running game and the play action plays. That's just how it goes.

On another note...Anyone notice something about all the players in the chargers-steelers game? I think the uniform companies need to do a sock recall. Everyone's socks keep falling down to their ankles in the middle of all the plays. LT is just playing with his completely down now.

Edit: Holy crap, The Burger is injured! Looks like a hyperextension or something. Hoepfully it won't be too bad.

 

[Max Powers]

It's a bittersweet night for the Steelers, they barely pulled out a win vs. San Diego, but Roethlisberger went down with a minute or so left, looks like he got hit hard in the knee, hope he's ok.

 

[JFM92_GTRacer]

^he's alright http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/story/4982162
lucky Steelers

 

[Omnis]

Roethlisberger sustained a hyperextended left knee and a bone bruise after being struck by Chargers defensive end Luis Castillo's helmet with 1:05 remaining in the game - but nothing else.

Edit: Holy crap, The Burger is injured! Looks like a hyperextension or something. Hopefully it won't be too bad.

Who's got that 105% Average in Anatomy and Physiology?

I knew he'd be fine. 👍

 

[Max Powers]

I went 8-6 this week, not too shabby.

Thanks for the updates on Roethlisberger, I had seen it already but I'm just really glad he's alright, they're even saying he may play for the Jacksonville game. I don't know if I want that though, I'd almost rather he takes at least a week off so he doesn't push it and injure himself again.
