2011-12 NFL Playoffs

My Predictions:

49ers over Saints - Hope I'm wrong on this one, but the Saints D is mediocre and the 49er D may stop the Saints from scoring enough to win.

Patriots over Broncos- Pats win this one on a wing and a prayer (sorry, couldn't resist. :p)

Ravens over Texans- Ravens at home are tough.

Packers over Giants- But not as tough as the Packers at Lambeau.
 
This will be the fifth Saturday primetime playoff game the Patriots have hosted since the NFL Playoffs went primetime in 2001-02. This Saturday night's forecast looks wimpy compared to some of the others:

2001-02 divisional playoff vs. Oakand- played in a raging snowstorm, and forever known as the "tuck game"

2003-04 divisonal playoff vs. Tennessee- played in sub zero wind chills. IMO, one of the most underrated postseason games in the Brady/Belichick era. Pats won a slugfest, 17-14

2005-06 wild card playoff vs. Jacksonville- game time temp 20 degrees. Pats win in a blowout

2007-08 divisional playoff vs. Jacksonville- game time temp 24 degrees. Pats pull away in the second half to improve their record to 17-0

This Saturday night in Foxborough: 30 degrees and clear

BTW, the Pats played in one other primetime playoff game- 2005-06 divisonal playoff AT Denver- the Broncos gave Brady/Belichick their first ever postseason loss, after starting 10-0.

Bill, was that the game where there was talk they would cancel the game because it was too cold? Wasnt it like 4 degrees at game time?

It got to about 10 below, coldest day of my life. Funny thing was I think that was the loudest I've ever heard the crowd at Gillette.
 
Steelers-Broncos most watched TV show since last Super Bowl

The final numbers are in...

Excerpt:
"For starters, that Steelers-Broncos game was a monster on television: It drew 42.4 million viewers, which makes it the most-watched program on all of American television since Super Bowl XLV. More people watched Steelers-Broncos than the Academy Awards, or the American Idol final, or Charlie Sheen’s funeral on Two and a Half Men, or anything else since the end of last football season."

I'm thinking the game against NE might even trump the Steelers game. Crazy.
 
The networks want Tim Tebow & the Broncos to keep winning,all the way to the Super Bowl. If the Broncos defeat the Patriots & end up facing the Ravens,the media is going to play up Terrell Sugg's insult against Tim Tebow big time. If you don't already know what Terrell Sugg's said,you definitely will come game day of the [hopefully] Broncos-Ravens AFC Championship game. The networks would then "sell their souls(sorry yaz96)" for a Broncos-Packers or Broncos-Saints Super Bowl match up.

Why are you sorry? :confused:

I would LOVE a Broncos vs whoever Super Bowl....
 
The NFL is using TV monitors on the sideline to help treat player injuries, but to ensure the network video isn't used for competitive purposes, only team doctors or head trainers are allowed to use it.

In a related story, the Patriots now list their head coach as Dr. Bill Belichick.
