They wasted Luanne on Lucky!

She could of have been so much more but the writers just didn't care!

The Raiders are possibly the best other team in the AFC when they're clicking, but their defense doesn't scare me that much. They don't have the secondary to do what Denver did last year, which was limit the Patriots' fast passing attack which will take away a lot of that pass rush. Hell, just look at what Alex Smith just did to them.

What I think made the Broncos special last year was their ability to get pressure with just four - and sometimes only three! - rushers. This let them flood the field with defensive backs and smother New England's receiving corp.

The last time the Raiders played the Patriots it was a one score game (almost going into overtime) at Foxboro with a rookie Carr. I think the Raiders match up well against the Pats

That INT was a silk-panty soft Mike Wallace allowing a Patriot to steal a ball that fell directly into his hands away from him. He also dropped a contested 20+ yard TD in the endzone that lead to a FG

Hmm, so if you take away the bad plays the Ravens made, they had a really good deep passing game? Interesting.

I think he's trying to say that a team that doesn't have a literally terrible deep threat will be able to rack the patriot secondary

Yeah, I got it, and I was being obtuse. But to just pretend if it wasn't Wallace that the INT would have automatically been a catch and the drop would have been a TD is also dumb. New England had guys in position to make plays on both throws and they ultimately did.

Not really. the ball literally went through Wallace's hands on the INT, that was ridiculous.

The Chiefs on the other hand, don't really have the offense to exploit the Patriots' defensive problems, but do have a fantastic defense. I'm more worried about the Chiefs defense then just about any other unit in the playoffs, but even they just lost their best coverage LB, which would be a problem against the midget attack and would probably lead to a dozen passes being thrown to James White in that game.

Honestly, no team looks amazing this year, so just gotta get HFA and hope for the best.

My team is so inconsistent that I don't really know what will happen, but they've made some good changes to the defense, havebeen meaningfully run the ball, and are getting their injured players back in a trickle at the right time. They're a full-game up on the Ravens now (thanks btw). I just hope they get out of Cinci without Burfict injuring AB or Bell. If they win out, the AFC West has the potential to cannibalize itself to the point where the Steelers end up the #2 seed. I'm more excited in December this year than last.

I know you really don't like when I rag on the Patriots, but they were beat on both of those plays, and got lucky that Mike Wallace sucks

The Steelers are hard to read this year because on one hand they have too many garbage losses to feel great about them, but on the other hand their offense has the potential to nuke everything and the defense is at least solid on paper.

The teams I don't want KC to face in the playoffs are the Steelers or Pats. Raiders too just because it feels hard to beat a decent team 5 times in a row.

The Texans are more like the mob that accompanies the level 1 boss that you have to kill to get to the boss but leaves you at half health and out of health pots and ultimately destroyed by said level 1 boss (Oakland).

The Texans are the first goomba of Super Mario Bros. The only way you to lose to them is if you've never played before. If, by some miracle, you actually lose to them, you are shamed and never, ever tell your friends about it.
