Bacon Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 The Skins are out, so let's see if anyone gets a small consolation prize. I've got to go with Falcons/Chiefs. With the emergence of Tyreek Hill, there are plenty of potential weapons in this matchup and neither team has won a Super Bowl in, at best, 46 years. The Chiefs are the more balanced team, but the Falcons are an absolute nightmare to gameplan for. The only downside is that the two teams faced each other already this year, but it was a fantastic rollercoaster of a game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreatBuzz Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 I'd agree with your input. It was the first thing I thought of. Mostly because it is two teams I have zero I'll will towards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hail2skins Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 Yeah, can't argue at all with this matchup. You do have to feel really bad for Oakland, which was having a great season before Carr went down in the second-to-last game. As for watching the playoffs, I have no desire to watch any of the games next weekend besides perhaps Giants at Packers. Assuming Seattle beats Detroit, which team.....NY or GB........do you want to see go to Dallas? I'd really like to see Rodgers get a crack at the Cowboys down there......think It'd be a great divisional round game. In the AFC, a Pitt vs KC match in the divisional round would be compelling. But it is tough to see the Pats not repping the AFC in SB LI. Atlanta is a compelling team, and think they do have a good shot of breaking through this season.

drowland Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 You know FOX wants Cowboys/Patriots from a ratings standpoint. I'll take a rematch of SB I. Chiefs/Packers with the Chiefs getting revenge after 50 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's all good, just shows that week 17 is tough to predict I guess ? Id be just as fine with Chiefs packers, I guess I'd have nobody to cheer against cause I have no hate for either team. Would be nice to just relax and watch a game like that for once. I don't think there's been a super bowl like that for me since what, 2010? 2011: I hated both the Giants and patriots 2012: hated the Ravens 2013: hated the Seahawks 2014: hated the patriots and Seahawks 2015: hated the panthers (cause of Newton) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rey713 Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 What I'd like to see: Cowboys vs. Chiefs or Dolphins What could happen: Cowboys or Falcons vs Patriots I think Atlanta has the firepower to outlast every team in the NFC. Green Bay could be a sleeper, but I personally don't see them winning AT Dallas or Atlanta. Their defense has been shaky (injury-ridden) all year, and Rodgers is going to face better teams. Dallas has only lost to one team all year (two if you count the @ Eagles preseason-esque Week 17 game), is very balanced, and has homefield advantage (no, the stadium isn't "Seattle loud" but at least we don't have to travel). Our defense has been pretty damn good over the last month (check the stats). Giants better hope their opponents don't score more than 20 points in a game, because that offense has been awful. Lions have not been stepping up these past couple weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylor 36 Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 As long as the Giants, Cowboys, and Seahawks don't represent the NFC, and the Steelers aren't there for the AFC, I don't really care. Though, I do like the Packers (sort of my back-up to the Redskins when they aren't playing), so I would like for them to be there, if possible. I know I'm in the major minority with this on this board, but I wouldn't mind seeing the Pats win, if for no other reason than to have to watch ****head Goodell have to present the trophy to them.

I doubt Tom wants any parts of NYG. But should it come to that, and the Giants win, I'm seriously going to do a **** ton of soul searching. Matty Ice vs Big Ben ain't bad, if for nothing more than there's been Brady or a Manning in the majority of the SB's I've watched since 8th grade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
