    Definitely the Packers imo, Colts have gotten destroyed every time they faced the Pats plus the Pats are so experienced, well coached and they have Brady so you can't expect much of a let down.

    The Packers on the other hand have probably the best QB in the league, have shown they can win big games, and know they'll be in for a tough test in Seattle. I'd say the Packers/Hawks game is about 50/50 as to who wins. I think the Packers offense is way better than Seattle's offense, obviously Seattle's defense is better though.

    Great video, Pats really got written off after those first 4 games. Although id be lying if i didn't myself because they looked terrible, offensive line was brutal early.

    Welp, f--- my predictions in regarding Pats.

    In my defense, I did say that if the Pats lose, it'd be because Patricia or McDaniels would f--- it up for us. McDaniels had some BRILLIANT calls, but holy s---, Patricia was god awful. First two drives, he's calling all zone coverages? What an idiot.

    One of the greatest games of all time. Right beneath the Snow Bowl game, for me.

    Brady is GOAT though. Two 14 point defecit comebacks in one playoff game? lol ridiculous.

    I might be going to the AFC Championship Game too, so I'm pretty pumped up.

    I need to rant about Patricia for a second... So bare with me...

    I don't understand Patricia at all. He has to be the worst defensive coordinator in the NFL. You have a shut down cornerback in Revis, and a big physical cornerback in Browner. Why would you go into zone defenses?

    Literally, first two series, watch the coverages. The linebackers are 5 yards off the ball, and the cornerbacks are off of the receivers. This not only gives Flacco more time to find holes in the zones, but it provides running lanes for an already top notch running game.

    This defensive strategy made absolutely NO sense to me, and I thought the Pats would play it's normal defensive set (aggressive blitzing, and tight man to man coverage)

    The Pats don't have the same type of defense as Seattle. Seattle has two aggressive safeties who can fill the holes in a zone. Pats don't have that. McCourtey is a great safety, but he's more of a centerfielder.

    Patricia's playcalling crippled the strengths of the Pats defense. Once they returned to their normal style of defense, they only allowed the Ravens 10 points in the second half. Flacco started the game (first two drives) for 9 of 10 passing. Ended the game with 19 of 35 passing with 2 interceptions.

    Pats defense played MUCH better when they got aggressive and played man coverage (although, Browner and Revis did k--- us on a lot of pass interference and holding calls. I was shocked about those)

    I'm REALLY hoping Patricia doesn't make these same mistakes again.

    Thank Tom Brady for Tom Brady. He got hit all game long, and it didn't matter. He was in a zone. I've given tons of credit to our defense and special teams this year (they carried us for a few games), but man, Tom Brady carried us against the Ravens. It's one of his most impressive playoff wins, and his most impressive playoff comeback (Snow Bowl aside)

    tl;dr? I hate Patricia and I'm not as confident in Pats defense because of his incompetent play calling.

    I hope Jones goes to the NFL and rb elliot top. He's a beast. Would love for Ravens to draft my dawg Duke Johnson from the U and let forsett walk. The Oline and zone running is goat and Duke will do better than forsett

    I know I've already picked the Colts, and while I'm not gonna change it right now, a part of me wants a Packers Patriots SB, a rematch of week 13.

    But I think Luck goes in there and gets a W

    Cowboys extend Jason Garrett 5 years & Rod Marinelli 3 years.

    Wow.... Never thought I'd actually be happy to have Jason Garrett extended lol and especially Marinelli. With Lee coming back next year + defensive players we draft, our defense can be better next year.

    Now we gotta get Linehan & Callahan locked up and then focus on Dez. Murray very well might not be a Cowboy next year if he chooses not to take a discount and I'm completely fine with that. He's an exceptional back but there's no point in paying him so much money and setting the RB market so high when RB's can be easily replaced.
