    Chip Kelly is going to take the Texas longhorns job next week and immediately leave the eagles. Someone else will coach them in the playoffs

    Ravens are still in it and if they win out, they are North Champs.

    Yep, that game last night really muddied the playoff picture in both conferences

    unless somebody gets hurt like russell wilson,seahawks are gonna make it to the superbowl,and more than likely win it.

    Eh,
    Eh, things have a way of changing in January. The hottest team in December isn't always the hottest team in January.

    I Think the seahawks have played more consistent than any team in the league this whole season. if they stay healthy,they will be hard to beat.

    Certainly. As it looks right now, they are the team to beat. However, it seems more often than not, 'the' team to be beat gets beat when January rolls around.

    Basically, what I'm saying is if we were to make a bet between the hawks winning it all versus the rest of the field, odds say the field would be the smart bet

    They haven't played consistently at all.

    played pretty consistent every time i have seen them play. have not seen every total game but bits and pieces of almost all of them.
    having to go up and beat seattle at home is gonna be hard for anybody to do in the playoffs.

    This other board I've started posting on has a bunch of seahawk fans. They are VERY confident that they are about to win their first super bowl.

    They may end up doing it but history shows the odds are not with them.

    I Don't see the saints doing it in seattle,mayve the 49ers? who knows?

    Capt may be referring to the history of 1 seeds not winning the super bowl that often since 1999. I think only two since the rams ?

    If Miami can win out, then they are in the playoffs no matter what.

    That would be the NFL story of the year and they wouldn't have to win one playoff game.

    I just don't want my Birds to finish 10-6 and miss the playoffs.
