While the women don't say they received any messages directly from Favre, he referred to Scavo in a message proposing a meeting with her and a third, unidentified massage therapist, the lawsuit says.

Favre

"Kinda lonely tonight," he added in a subsequent message to the third masseuse, the lawsuit said. "I guess I have bad intentions."

Sure, their defense is meh, but they've eviscerated teams on offense since Week 9.
This is true, but consider their competition since then. Hard to tell.
Indy, Steelers, and Ravens all will be interesting. They should at least get 2 of them.

Damn I want the Packers to have another shot with A-Rod vs. them.

the seahawsks have a better chance then the packers beating the eagles, put your fandom aside.
No they don't, they're terrible.

Look, I have no doubt that Seattle will come out fired up, "we get no respect!", etc, and play their best game of the season. But as long as the Saints don't lay an egg it won't matter.

They have a puncher's chance, but so does any NFL team in any single game.


Also, I'm not buying into this Patriots aura of invicibility. They're good, but I'd like the Steelers out of the AFC if they didn't melt every time they went up against Belicheck and Brady.

If it's Ravens vs Patriots in the divisional round, I'm not sure I pick the Pats!

The Seahawks are the worst football team ever to make the playoffs. In any other division in the NFL I'd take the top three teams over them.

And that includes mediocre to bad teams like the Dolphins, Browns, Raiders/Chargers, Detroit, Houston, Cowboys and Tampa.

Looking at the numbers they have a -90 point differential. -90!!!!

And the raiders beat everyone in their division and did not make the playoffs, whats your point? Dumb stats? that does not mean shit in the playoffs. The season is over, Seahawks already played a playoff game, they are already do or die and rolling.

You realize they beat the Steelers, Colts, Jets, Bears, and your own Pack during this run, correct? Not exactly the NFC West they've played there. Bears and Jets looked like Big Ten teams against them.

The spread scheme they're running with, literally, 35+ different formations is pretty much tailor made to beat teams like Pittsburgh and Ravens who are reliant on their base front 7 causing havoc.

And, again, Belichick + Brady in Foxborough is hell.

Right and just because the Seahawks are in the playoffs does not mean they are suddenly on equal footing as the other teams. THey're not. They don't have the talent on either side of the ball and one could question their coach as well. Why exactly do you have any faith for them to do anything with the Saints?

They beat a Rams team with a rookie QB who has shit wide receivers and rarely threw the ball beyond the line of scrimmage.

Their tight ends are a horrible matchup for any linebacking corps.

The Cardinals in '08 at least had a plus point differential and a HOF QB.



Bionic is going to eviscerate you for forgetting about the Ravens last year.

Speaking of which, is NFC West the first ever to have all the division in the hole? -322 as a whole :lol

An equal footing? Like the pats undefeated juggernaut non equal footing to any other team footing when the giants beat them? expect the unexpected.

Impossible. ravens can only see the Pats if they both get to the AFC Championship.

Colts win, Ravens win, Ravens face the Patriots in the Divisional Round, no?

So why bother making a post? I mean, hey yeah shit like that happens, but where's the value in making a comment like that? I realize you're a fan in the NFC West but let's be honest here. The division was shit this year. Pure three day old diaper shit. And you're not convincing me that the Seahawks stand a chance against a Saints team that went into Atlanta and beat the Falcons.

The fact that Hernandez is fast enough to be a wideout and Gronk has enough size to thump in the running game lets them line each of them out wide, on the line, in the slot, or in the backfield.

In the Jets game, they rolled out with 27 different formations in the first 27 offensive plays of the game. Shit's silly.

Rick Smith used his media lackey to let everyone know that he was against the Frank Bush hire. It amazed me he escapes public scrutiny. He's just as awful as Kubiak

Steelers are the only solid team they really "blew out" though. Ok and the Bears.
Every other team was mediocre and/or highly inconsistent.

They beat the Colts because Payton threw that dumbass INT, should've gone to OT at the least and Green Bay blew it with that special teams play/no Rodgers.

I'm not saying they're a cakewalk, they're a great team, but it's the playoffs. People can play above their talent level if the right chips fall.
They are favored and for good reason, I'd say they're the team to beat but I just don't think people should be kissing the rings - especially in this bizarro season of surprises and parity.

I don't disagree with you but they destroyed the Jets and Bears and were beating the Steelers handily before that ridiculous 4th quarter. That's two division winners in there. And two out of those three were on the road.

No. Winner of jets/Colts gets the pats in the divisional.

The Patriots face the lowest seed remaining in the divisional round, if the Colts win, it'd be the Ravens. Or am I missing something? That's the way I understand it.

NE will get bounced if the face Baltimore. Reed will end Bradys INT streak and the Pats have never been able to block Ngata. I want no part of that team, GO KC!

Shit doesn't come out of nowhere. It's always a matter of matchups. The Giants blew up the Pats unathletic offensive line with the myriad of pass rushers they could rotate in and out. The hits put their toll on the Patriots.

How do the Seahawks matchup with the Saints? Seattle's allowed the 2nd most passing touchdowns and are tied for the 4th least picks in the league. They've allowed the 2nd most 20+ yard completions in the league with 60.

How do you beat the Saints? Eliminate their running game and get quick pressure in Drew's face with a secondary that limits big plays. Is Seattle good at any one of those things? No.

The one place where you can see Seattle succeeding is stopping the Saints rushing attack because of all the injuries they have at that position, but, even then, we've already established that Seattle's secondary allows big plays. They're 24th in the league on 3rd down percentage on defense.

Facts. Facts. Facts.

They don't matchup well against their first opponent, which you respond with drivel about "how it's the playoffs."

You are what your record says you are. You are what your team's performance indicates. This is a mediocre team that's been blown out by an average of 20 points in its losses.

Steelers came back strong in garbage time!

And the Steelers for some reason have been much better on the road this season. I almost look forward to a AFC Championship rematch in North Hell or whatever they call that place the Patriots play in.

You are correct.

I know it's hard, but you Pats fans should probably root for the Jets this weekend!

2011 Opponents set for the Giants. AFC East and NFC West outside of the division with a sprinkle of the NFC South against the Saints:

Home:

* Philadelphia Eagles
* Dallas Cowboys
* Washington Redskins
* St. Louis Rams
* Seattle Seahawks
* Green Bay Packers
* Buffalo Bills
* Miami Dolphins

Away:

* Philadelphia Eagles
* Dallas Cowboys
* Washington Redskins
* Arizona Cardinals
* San Francisco 49ers
* New Orleans Saints
* New England Patriots
* New York Jets

11-5/12-4 if they lower the turn overs significantly....

Giants won 10 games playing ugly football, 42 turn overs is pathetic, they fix that problem, they will be hard to beat next season.

There's always another issue that comes out that you dont expect. Maybe the Giants take care of the turnovers but you'll inherit the 500 injuries that the Packers have had this year, for example. Then the next year you say without the injuries we're unbeatable! Repeat ad nauseum.

Good luck!

Schedules are dictated by rotating divisions and final standings of the regular season. We don't know exact time and dates.

You are correct! There is no way in Boston that the Pats lose to the Jets.

Though it would be my dream scenario to get the Chiefs at Pittsburgh for the Divisional and then the Jets for the Championship game before we go to the Superbowl to beat up on Seattle. But that might be asking for a bit too much...

I would be more worried about the Ravens.
 
Ninja Scooter said:

There's a rotation of divisional matchups that's already known, so that accounts for 8 games. Then 6 games are divisional games. The last 2 games are the only ones determined by place in the division, and there are divisional matchups for those games as well.

For example, say AFC North and NFC West are lined up for those last 2 games. The 1st place team in each division plays each other. The 2nd place team in each division plays each other. And so on.

In reality, we know every schedule but 2 games for every season through 2013. The actual schedule of dates and times is announced in the summer.

Until we get that damned 18 game season.
 
BakedPigeon said:

Who? The Steelers or Patriots?

I am worried about everyone (except the Jets and Chiefs) right now, but Ben hasn't lost (a game, he has probably lost a few teeth and gotten a broken nose or two) to the Ravens in years.

Giants have been getting injuries left and right since '05. They've been fairly fortunate this season defensively with them, but they were missing many guys on the line and Steve Smith's loss was obviously huge. GB didn't lose impact guys on offense for any substantial amount of time. Ryan Grant is good player, but replaceable. He was your biggest injury.

You forgot Hall of Famer Jermichael Finley.
 
Woa just realized my pre-season prediction of 10-6 was dead on. I never bought into the super hype before the season but expected them to win the North with that record. I predicted the Vikings collapse and a more competitive Bears team but no way did I expect the Bears turnaround so quickly.

Next year I'll have to keep my predictions archived for posterity's sake .
 
I was hoping for the Steelers to go 10-6 and squeak out the division. Never would have guessed that the division would have two 12-4 winners.

I actually thought the Saints were well built to try and repeat but that prediction went straight down the crapper.
 
Not going to be around much this week but definitely will be for the games. Just wanted to say this before I leave.

J-E-T-S!

JETS!

JETS!

JETS!!!

Bring on the hate bitches, see you Saturday. =P

Clear word of warning. I'm not using injuries as an excuse, because I'm not excusing the performance of the team in any way. Not blaming their losses on injuries or anything like that. Just getting this out the way before people bitch and whine like crazy people.

First of all you're limiting the scope of your argument to offense only as if that legitimizes your point. Ignoring that, I think any team losing their starting running back for an entire season (you realize he was done for the season either the 1st or 2nd week right?) is a substantial loss for a significant amount of time. Not something that can't be overcome, sure, but saying a 1200 yard rusher being gone the whole season is not significant is silly.

And despite the mockery that Jermichael receives on this forum, which I find odd by the way because no Packer fan that I know of has anointed him (or Rodgers for that matter) as hall of fame bound like people seem to suggest, he is the very definition of an impact player and we lost him to IR early on too. Our entire off season was devoted to tailoring the offense to Finley so whether or not you believe he's the greatest TE of all time is irrelevant; it required a massive re-working of our offense in order to adjust to him being gone. Hence, an impact playing being gone for a substantial amount of time.
