Predict the AFC/NFC Championship games

I got

Bears vs. Packers rematch

I know everyone is on the Detroit hype train, but it's the same thing every year with these "up and comer" teams(ie Buccaneers last year). they start off hot, but in the end falter while the teams that have been doing this for years. Bears are getting hot at the right time and I think this Bears/Lions game coming up will ultimately decide who gets the first wild card in the NFC.

Texans(GASP!) vs. Jets

I know I know, Texans making the playoffs? Their defense has taken a complete 180 from previous years and is #1 in total yards, and most importantly #3 in points per game. They've also been without Andre Johnson, arguably the best receiver in the NFL, for weeks now. They've got a cake division and will probably clinch a division title & playoff spot long before the season ends. The Jets, as much as I hate Mark Sanchez, are still a great football team when they stick to their run game and defense. I've bet against them the past two years and I'm not going to this year. Their defense is too good in January. I think the Patriots reign over the AFC East is officially over.

Well isn't that a shocker

What's the problem with my pick?

Atlanta has started playing well as of late, namely the defense has played lights out. I'm not impressed with either the Giants or 49ers. The Bears or Lions could pose a problem, but we already beat the Lions and the Bears have regressed lately. The Saints are too up and down, beating the Colts like a drum then losing to the Rams, honestly I'm not sure if they will even make the play-offs with their recent injuries.

So yeah, I think Atlanta has as good a shot as anyone to lose to the Packers in the NFCCG.

    • I can say that I have defended Canales because I get that they are doing all they can to keep from looking like idiots for drafting Bryce, from the trade up to signing $150m guards to drafting XL and Brooks etc---nothing seems to work.  And Hiring Canales was part of the Bryce Young rehab program, so so he can't really decide to "move on."  That has to come from Morgan and Tepper. Personally, I think Bryce is due for an injury.  He is small, he is not thick, and he has been a LOT more healthy than most any other QB has who has endured so much pressure.  The thing that bothers me is this---Bryce really does not go through his progressions quickly.  He locks on to his presnap read and stays locked onto him for too long--he seems to fail to anticipate the WR/TE's positioning on the play before the cut--for example, if the WR is running a dig and the CB has his back to the inside of the field, he should be open for a second or less just after the cut.  He seems to wait until the cut has been made before deciding, then checking down quickly while moving in the pocket. OL:  There seems to be a lack of communication--is that on Mays?  Watch this team presnap--they seem a bit confused at times.   I can almost predict the success rate of the play by watching the center and QB before the snap.  
    • Anyone else remember back in 2010 when Fox piloted having music under the in-game replays during one of Carolina's games? Not the commercial bumpers but the actual replay clips that the announcers would talk over. Pretty sure it was vs the 49ers. And it was terrible. Point being, Carolina continues being so bad that we get the networks trying things out during their games.
    • Is it bad I found this video more hilarious than pathetic? I am still laughing at that one play where half the people on the field ran into each other and Bryce still couldn't see Chuba wide open... Also laughing at Cade blocking nobody and somehow losing his cleat Man this offense is a poo show
