NFL playoffs--9 and 7 gets you in

[Saltheart]

Its pretty strange the way the playoff seeding goes. Last year 11-5 and the Pats don't get in. This year a bunch of teams at 9-7 get in. That's just 1 game better than a 50-50 team and they make the playoffs.

also curious about which team people think was better...this years Pats or last years Pats. I think last year was a better team.

However , I do pick the Pats over baltimaore and then we see what happens next. Strange things happen and a good day for the pats and a bad day for one of the powerhouses and the playoff picture can get really shuffled. You got to have hope!!

Just glad the Pats are at HOME for this one! We will miss you know who for the rest of the playoffs......hopefully mini-Welk, Moss, and the TE rotations can carry the load. Will not be happy to LM in the backfield.

Sad isn't it. To think we missed at 11-5 and now all these crappy teams are in it. To be honest I hope the Vikings dominate in there, to show that Favre is still great, they totally dominated the other day.

Pats may get by this week...but then they are all done when they get to San Diego.....The Chargers want to destroy us in the worst way

I thought the Vikings/Giants game was a howl.
Favre was literally passing/scoring at will. The clueless look on Manning face was priceless.

Last year the Cardinals made it to the SB with an 8-8 regular season record.

And came within a Santonio Holmes tightrope walk of winning it.
