There's a playoffs thread, I know... But, I just thought I'd make one specifically for the conference championship games, which sometimes are hyped up just as much as the Superbowl. Okay, maybe not -- but they're pretty damn hyped!

Who do you think will win? Who do you want to win?

AFC: Indianapolis Colts at New England Patriots...

I'm keeping my bet for the Colts -- Peyton Manning is unstoppable. Eight touchdowns in his two playoff games! Unbelievable. James is doing a great job running, and the recievers [Harrison, Stokes] are doing terrific, as well. The O line gives Peyton all the time in the world, and Manning doesn't even seem to be bothered in the slightest bit with all the noise the fans make. Pats fans seem to be some of the most dedicated, and I don't think he'll be too effected by it. A strategy of his is no huddle, and he takes all the time in the world out on the line/in the play to form something together... And he pulls it off every time. Of course, though, they're playing at Gillette Stadium... And the cold seems to be the Pats' friend. They work great in the cold, even in snow storms! But, I think Manning is ten times better than Brady and the Colts as a whole are better than the Pats. Maybe not on defense, which will be a major problem, but Manning is a master at dissecting defenses. Broncos beat the Colts first, and see what happened the second time? Colts did way better this week than the Pats. Pats almost lost their game -- the Colts were in control the whole time. I'm sticking with the Colts, and also cheering for them!

NFC: Carolina Panthers at Philadelphia Eagles...

It took a bit for McNabb to come back in the Packers game, and a helluva long time. The Eagles struggled in their game with the Packers pretty much the whole time, and the main reason they won was Favre's fuck up in OT. But, again, the Panthers also allowed the Rams to make a near come-back and ice them over and win. Two OT games and two teams who've struggled. Foster, though, who is a second string RB [if I'm not mistaken] did GREAT against the Rams... And he's not even a starter. This game isn't as big as the Colts/Pats game, but I'm still picking the Eagles. I think McNabb can drive them to win, even if he is over-rated, simply because I think he can do better than Delhomme, both under the pressure of winning/going to the Superbowl and the pressure of the D. Nobody aside from Michael Vick maybe can outscramble McNabb.

What about you's?

Go Colts!

I'm picking the Patriots to beat the Colts(plus I want the Patriots to win, as I hate the colts)It's tought to go against the Patriots at home.


And I'm picking the Eagles over the Panthers. Yeah both teams struggled this past weekend, but Still it's at Philadelphia, now if it was at Carolina then it might be different.

AFC: Colts win over the Pats. Not only is this a personal wish, but I predict the upset. Peyton Manning is on fire right now. He is simply unstoppable. The Patriots are very good; arguably the best team in the NFL, and yes they are at home to a team who traditionally sucks in cold weather. But I think that this is the year for the Colts.

NFC: Eagles to win over Panthers. Personally, I would like to see the Panthers win, but the Eagles are too good, and Mcnabb is amazing. They lost this game two years ago to a team much better than them. They lost last year to a team that was about the same as them. They wont lose this year to a team that is considerably worse than them.

Hopping on the bandwagon? -Pat

Hopping on the bandwagon? -Pat [/b][/quote]Actually, Corpuzzi has been rooting for the Colts since the early season. I remember him setting Peyton as his avatar when the Colts made that HUGE comeback against the Buccs on Monday Night Football.

RagingBull2003 -- I don't think it's really because McNabb is "great." McNabb is good, I won't take that away from him, and he's an awesome scrambler who can get out of almost anything the D sends at him in the backfield. And he works better under pressure than Delhomme [Panthers], but he's pretty over-rated, you gotta admit. He's not as great as everyone says. But I do agree that the Eagles are overall better than the Panthers.

Yeah, ever since his waidas imploded

RACIST!!!

BAN HIM!!

At this point, I don't even give a flying f#ck...

RACIST!!!

BAN HIM!! [/b][/quote]Hahahaha.

I think we need a Rush Limbaugh avatar for you Anthony. Hahaha.

Pats 20 Colts 10
Panthers 24 Eagles 20

I hope the Panthers win.

I'm standing by my picks: Colts and Eagles in the Superbowl, with the Colts coming out on top. I just think this year is Manning's year. I'm just getting reeeaaal nervous as the game comes closer and closer. Only a little over an hour!

I got mixed feelings. I called the eagles early on and I would like my pick to be correct, but I hate the eagles and wouldnt mind seeing the panthers win. O well, I dont care much about that game anyway

Panthers and Patriots.

Classic football weather! Man let it snow.

Man, I love football. Best sport for the winter weather. Good games on the big screen and great food and drink all around.

Colts down by 15 at half time!
Look out for a good 2nd half though.

GOOD BYE COLTS!-

New England is on its way!

Way to go Tom Brady! What a hottie!!

Sorry, Cheeks! :p

Fuck the Pats. I hope Tom Brady chokes and dies.

I'm rooting for them to lose -- I don't care who they go against, I want them to struggle.

Pats are practically your hometown team - why such hatred??

See what we missed when cheeks was away. Those truthful answers and raw emotions.

I don't usually pick teams because of my hometown. The only sport I like is football; one of my mom's old boyfriend's got me into it as a kid, and got me into the 49ers. All other sports pretty much bore me.

Well the Pats - Colts game is finally over and the score was much closer than the game was. My thoughts on the game .... Four Picks for Manning -

Anyway it is now time for the real game. And to prepare for the game it is time for the Eagles Fight Song - please feel free to join in with me ...

Fly Eagles fly
on the road to victory.
Fight Eagles fight,
score a touchdown 1-2-3.

Hit 'em low,
Hit 'em high,
And we'll watch our Eagles fly.

Fly Eagles fly
on the road to victory.

EAGLES !!!!

Of course we have only heard that about 500 times this past week. Hey Reuben sung the national anthem - did Clay sing at NE ? :p

Ok time for kickoff

Yeah, I was excited to see Ruben singing the national anthem. He did a hella fuckin' good job, too!

I'm rooting for the Eagles as well... And I hope they tear the Pats to pieces in the Superbowl.

"I may need a little Leon time".

Ok, a little off topic, but who else loves those commercials with Leon, the arrogant football player? I think they're better then most Super Bowl commercials.

"The crowd booing me hurt my feelings. I may need a little Leon time".

"How about some herbal tea"?

"There's no I in team".
"Yeah, well there ain't no we either"

Haha! I'm glad I'm not the only one, Beth! They're the best football commercials since the Bud Frog ones!

"Yeah, well there ain't no we either." That cracks me up everytime. :p

I love those budweiser frogs. I don't know why they stopped them. Maybe we should start a best super bowl commercial thread.

I like the one a couple years ago when the wife is trying to lure her husband upstairs. She has a teddy on, the satin sheets. Then she says she has beer, (I admit, I can't remember which brand), and he runs upstairs. Slides ride off the satin sheets through the window.

I remember that one! They even showed it for a bit after the Superbowl. It's amazing how many beer commercials they cram down your throat during a football game!! :rolleyes:
