littlelouie Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 (edited) I think New England will represent the AFC. Denver has a good team and Peyton Manning. but Bill Belichck is a mastermind. I would never bet against New England even without Gronkowski and Wilfork. Besides Brady, Gronk is their best offensive player and WIlfork is their best defensive player, but old master Billy will find a way. The NFC is a lot harder to call. Seattle looks awesome with the BEAST (Marshawn Lynch), but you never can tell about the two YOUNG teams. Carolina and San Fran are young and energetic They are capable of pulling off an upset. What do you all think? What teams do you see in the big game? Edited January 12, 2014 by littlelouie
SBUffalo Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 Denver and Seattle. The mega matchup happens for once.
littlelouie Posted January 12, 2014 Author Posted January 12, 2014 You like Seattle too. Yeah they look tough all around, no weaknesses. I don't think there has been a more powerful back than Lynch since Earl Campbell and Jim Brown. You just can't tackle the dude he's darn strong and won't go down. Yeah Denver has a very good chance. I see Denver and New England in the AFC championship game. Both teams have GREAT quarterbacks so it's hard to call but I'm going with New England because of Belichick. I would never bet against Belichick. If I was Ralph at his age he doesn't need money anymore, I would give Belichick 90% ownership of the Bills to come coach them for ten years. I don't think Belichick would turn down 700 million dollars. The value of 90% of the team. Heck with that kind of money Billy could buy a Carribean island when he retires.
Buftex Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 Of the possible match-ups left, I hope to god it is Denver and Carolina...but New Egland/Seattle seems most likely....I can't stand New England, Seattle or San Francisco, so this Super Bowl is likely going to be painful for me...deciding who I hate more, New England, Seattle or San Francisco....
BillsPride12 Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 I've got New England and Seattle going to the bowl this year....rooting for Seattle at this point
Utah John Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 Denver and Seattle. That's been the call since the middle of the regular season, and the top seeds and home field advantage seal the deal. I don't think anyone can go into their home fields and beat them in a playoff game.
BillsPride12 Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 (edited) Well somebody did just that to Denver last year....just saying I agree nobody is beating Seattle on their turf though Edited January 12, 2014 by BillsPride12
littlelouie Posted January 12, 2014 Author Posted January 12, 2014 (edited) Utah Joe it would be hard to argue against your post. I also think it's very, very hard to go into someone else's stadium and win, especially in the post season. I think home field is even more of an advantage in the playoffs than it is in the regular season. Fans are pumped up for the playoffs and will be louder than in the regular season. If any team has a chance to do it, it would be New England. They have a ton of playoff experience and if anyone can win on the road I think it would be them. In Denver I think it's a toss up. If the game was in New England I would mortgage the house and put it all on the Pats. Edited January 12, 2014 by littlelouie
It's in My Blood Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 Would love to see Manning vs Brady in the AFC game. Then Seattle vs Denver, with Peyton proving he is in fact,.the best QB of this generation. Broncos over Seahawks - 24-20
outsidethebox Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 You combine bill belicheat, marsha brady and the refs. Thats a tough combination to beat!
NWPABillsfan Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 Well like I told my wife yesterday. My favorite team is the Bills my second favorite team is who ever is playing New England.. But watching them yesterday I'm not sure if anyone can beat NE. I also have always like Lynch since he was here, so I would like him to get a ring. So after saying all that I am still holding out hope that Payton can end NE season. So I am saying my superbowl is Denver vs Seattle.
tito1 Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 Don't see anyone beating Seattle at home to get to the Super Bowl. I think Denver gets a major scare from SD today, but pulls it out and beats NE next week. Not many hace mentioned weather being a factor, so i would like Seattle even more in cold or bad elements against Denver. Like them in normal conditions, even more In the cold.
BuffaloFan68 Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 I predicted Denver & Seattle in the SB before preseason started with a Denver victory & I'm sticking to it.
Dr. K Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 (edited) SD will beat Denver today. Denver will fold when it counts like a cheap tent. My main reason for believing this is that it will give the Pats a home game against the Chargers for the AFC championship. Pats will obliterate the overmatched Chargers in Foxboro. If the Pats have to play Denver in Denver, then it's possible Denver could win because of the memory of what happened to them last year, but I don't see the Broncos stopping LaGarette Blount. My only hope is that the NFC team can beat the Pats in the Bowl. But I would not count on that either. The way the Pats have become a running team behind this come-out-of-nowhere Blount is too depressing for words. If someone manages to keep it close, then Brady will carve them up. The Pats don't have the best personnel in the league, but they have the psych out on everyone. A team like the Colts or even the Bills can hang in there until the fourth quarter against them, but will invariably fall apart in crunch time. The Pats just do not beat themselves, and I have to respect that, even though I &%#@&* hate them. Edited January 12, 2014 by Dr. K
Talley56 Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 (edited) Guess I'll go against the grain and say the Niners. I don't know, they just seem to have a it all together and now that they have Crabtree healthy their offense might be better. Plus they've been bullied around in Seattle too many times in recent years to let it happen again and Seattle's offense has sputtered at times lately (see week 16 vs AZ). I'm thinking it will be 49ers vs Patriots (even though I don't want this matchup) Edited January 12, 2014 by Talley56
Philly McButterpants Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 I like Seattle's team (Beast Mode, Russell Wilson), but I can't stand Pete Carroll . . . . That said, he would be instantly revered if he were to shame Bellicheat and the Pat*s in the SB . . .
BillsFan-4-Ever Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 Seattle, the run game in NE is worrisome as they don;t just rely on Cinderfella and the Refs. at least 4 times I heard Dierdorf say the Pats got away with penalties. on for sure was the trip on Luck.
BuffaloWings Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 New England's running game really makes it difficult to beat them. If they end up in the big one against Seattle, I'd really like to see how that pans out. Of course, don't be surprised if the refs help San Diego beat Denver so New England can have the inside track again.
thebandit27 Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 Probably Seattle and NE. I'd love to see Manning slay the dragon; just have a hunch that Rivers and SD will again pull the playoff upset against him, giving NE the easier matchup. I also don't see either SF or Carolina winning at Seattle. Beating them requires a power running attack and a vertical passing game that can hurt you...and then you need to be able to stop them on defense too. I really don't like either team, so I suppose if it happens that way I'll just have to cheer for Russell Wilson because he's a good kid.
