SuperBowl Question II

[Dave2112]

As Primetime brought up in the last poll, there's a good chance of a team coming out of the first round to go all the way. In fact, 4 of the last 5 SB's have had a team surprise everyone by clawing out of the first round. If every SuperBowl were to be played by the top two seeds, there'd be no need for playoffs, right?

Ok, so who stands the best chance of actually being this years' Patriots, Ravens or Titans? Teams playing first round games only....

My pick? The Jets. Indy's too streaky, Cleveland is outmatched long-term, Pittsburgh's too prone to turnovers, the Giants are also too streaky and inconsistant, San Fran won't get through two tough teams on the road, Atlanta has looked horrible for the last few weeks, and Green Bay...I don't know, it just doesn't feel right.

Chad Pennington doesn't make too many mistakes, Curtis Martin is the big double-threat this year, with Marshall Faulk not playing, Wayne Chrebet seems to always come through in the clutch and the special teams (a highly underrated area, but very important) are extremely good. Plus, they're on a high and they seem to believe they can actually do it. Remember the predicted outcome of New England's campaign last year?

Packers?

I vote for the Packers, just cuz I am a fan in live in Wisconsin. But you are right Dave, it just doesn't feel right with Sharper and Driver out...and sometimes Farve's tornados just are way to crazy for a straight shot. They haven't played the best, but have been known to even surprise themselves by getting into the playoffs and farther. I still vote for Packers!!!!😀 (no matter how bad they piss me off, I love those tightends, uhm...Packers)🙄

Since the Patriots will NOT be playing this year...

I guess we need to find another safe word for SBG 2.

Patriots suck will be way too easy. LOL

Go Packers! It's the only wild-card team I want to see win. 😀

P.S. When I voted, Breezy, the total for the Packers went from 0 to 1, so I assume that's my vote. Are you sure you voted? 😕

this was tough for me, but i had to pick against my favorite team, the San Francisco 49ers. i picked Green Bay. why? out of all the teams playing in the 1st round, Green Bay is the best team. Brett Favre is amazing. the Packers are still a very dangerous team.

as for my 49ers, i dont like the defense too much. prone to giving up big big passing yards. the offense will be fine because they can run the daylights out of the ball with Garrison Hearst and Kevin Barlow. then they can pass with Jeff Garcia throwing to Terrell Owens and Tai Streets (JJ Stokes is a bust). but im too nervous about their defense.

Cleveland shouldnt be there. i just cant see them doing anything. plus, they have the ugliest uniforms i have ever seen.

Atlanta has Michael Vick, THE most exciting player in the NFL, BUT they have to go to Lambeu Field, where Brett Favre never loses in the winter. oh well Falcons....


the Jets are lucky to be where they are. but also have a great chance to go far. i mean, look at the AFC. do ANY of those teams (including the Raiders) look invincible?

NY Giants. they will be one and done. they just dont have enough.

you already saw my thoughts on the Steelers, but i guess they have enough to win.

the Colts. dangerous group, but a year away.

should be a real interesting 1st round.....
