NFL Playoffs

[Oxea]

So the conference championships will be played soon, AFC hosting Ravens vs. Patriots and NFC with Giants vs. 49ers. I may be Australian, but ever since 2005, I had taking a liking to NFL with my favourite team being the Patriots since then, so it'd be only natural I'd be supporting them to the Superbowl this season too

I know there's some other NFL enthusiasts out there, so what are your opinions on the following games, who do you reckon will win, lose, who will make it to the Superbowl etc? For those whose teams didn't make it, still, feel free to chat!

I dont't watch football I do like every once in a while (English Premiere League soccer fan) but the only team I like is 49ers, and I say Patriots vs. 49ers in SuperBowl 49ers winning(patriots because one of my friends is a big patriots fan)

 

[Oxea]

In all honesty, it'll be a Giants vs. Patriots game for Superbowl haha, but like a couple of seasons ago when Giants beat Patriots at the Superbowl via a fluke catch on Plaxico Burress' behalf, it won't happen here. I was surprised the Packers lost to the Giants too.

 

[Jay15]

That catch was crazy.. He literally trapped the ball with one hand between his hand and his helmet, then shed like, 2 tackles and scored.
(This is to the best of my memory, do dont quote me on it)

 

[Oxea]

He had 1on1 coverage verses a CB in the end zone when he made the catch, still haunted by the fluke nature of that game. I remember keeping up to date with at school an when we lost, my friends could see how pissed I was haha.

 

[Jay15]

Wasnt Eli Manning under like, intense pressure also? Like, the line was completely dissolving around him and he had shed a tackle or two already before he got the ball of

 

[Oxea]

I honestly don't remember haha, just that specific memory is all I kept I'm not 100% over that game, I remember our D wasn't necessarily at their best that season either so that didn't help. We'll just have to wait and see who wins the NFC game, I mean the 49ers pulled a surprised win over the Saints so who knows - But the Ravens won't be able to pull anything like that, just saying.

 

[Oxea]

Patriots pull of a win 23 - 20. Way too close for comfort but expected against the Ravens, honestly didn't see winning due to the failed FG attempt but regardless, we won and are off to the Superbowl. Patriots D have always been questionable for how many seasons now, over the seasons though those cracks have been filled.

That game between Ravens and Patriots should've gone OT. How the hell does a probowl kicker miss a 32 yard field goal.

And im for 49ers.
West Coast rep.

ikr lol and agreed for OT, but biased and safe to say, we've already won haha. Regardless but, this game should give us plenty of added motivation to thrash whoever at Superbowl. Hopefully the 49ers do win because the Giants are just flukes.

For me it felt like the Superbowl was today. Whoever won the Ravens vs Pats game will win the Superbowl. Just what I think.

Patriots won and I agree with you 100% there.

 

[RCLOWN24]

Hmm i dunno how Brady will handle vernon davis and that beastly defense. Remember they have rodgers, probowl corner, as well.

If you can beat Giants, then we'll see

EDIT: I'd say 49ers win or a miracle ball?

 

[RCLOWN24]

WOWW omfg, that game enraged me. Alex Smith is so BAD under pressure. the return team is terrible.
But hats off to Eli Manning, such a beast quarterback.

 

[Oxea]

Yeah such a shame with the game-changing fumble there too. Oh well, redemption time!

 

[RCLOWN24]

Im voting for Giants now xD. I dont want the Patriots to win the Super Bowl

Pff, Giants won't win, you'll see

 

[itzmak]

I want the Giants to win but the Patriots got it.

 

[Razael6]

Yes the 9ers lost but WEST COAST REPRESENT like RCLOWN24 said!
