Kudos for the 2 Phily picks.

I maintain the Steelers are (mostly) terrible and merely lucking their way through games. Put them in another, stronger division and they aren't in the playoffs.

Can't say I am dissapointed that they are playing this weekend though, and will be cheering my heart out for them.

Horrible division? Yes the Browns and Bungles suck, but the Ravens are playing in the AFC Championship game. The Steelers also played one of the most difficult schedules this season (NY Giants, @Philly {in NFC Championship}, @Washington, Dallas, Jacksonville, Indy{in playoffs}, New England {11 wins}, San Diego {in playoffs}, Tennessee (#1 team in AFC}. Really if you look at it, their only easy games WERE their conference games against Cleveland and Cincy. The only team that the the Steelers played (other than Cle/Cin) that had a losing record was Jacksonville.

Are the the greatest team of all time? no. Their O-line is not great. Their running backs have been hurt all year (Parker is just now getting back to form). Their Defense is really good, and their QB knows what it takes to win and lose big games.

This game against Baltimore is going to be a slugfest with the QB that makes the fewest mistakes winning the game.

Arizona wouldn't be in the playoffs if they were in another division. Philly is the Wild Card so they earned their spot (they did get a lot of help). I really like what coach Wiz has done in Arizona but it would seem so very wrong to me if Arizona is in the Super Bowl.

Arizona going to the Super Bowl baby. Whine and complain all you want about stacked divisions and what-not, but that doesn't matter. Teams who win, go to the playoffs. No team is better than anyone else who is left right now.

It will be an All PA superbowl this year. Baltimore chokes hard and AZ's defense and Warner will be exposed for the posers they really are.

I think the Cards have other ideas.

ahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahaha. I got a nickel, get to suckin.

Kind of rooting for the Cards this postseason. Pretty happy to see em go to the Super Bowl. Wasn't expecting it.

... or maybe Arizona will win.

Grats Arz, 1 trip to the NFL title game every 54 years, SUPERB

Who gives a shit? All that matters is that they're there. /bitter

Got your ticket to watch em lose to the Steelers?

The Baltimore / Pittsburgh game was great, loads of brutal hits, and the game was reasonably close the entire game. The Cardinals game was a clusterfuck of the Eagle splaying poorly and me wishing that shitty grocery stocker would die on the field.

Donovan cost the Eagles that game. He missed way too many wide open receivers.

No, is it even in AZ? Cuz I don't live there anymore.

I don't really care for the Cardinals, but when a major AZ team makes it to the World Series, Finals, Super Bowl, etc, I enjoy watching it. I think that's almost my favorite games to watch -- cuz I don't really have an emotional interest vested in it, like I would w/ the Suns, or Cowboys, etc.
