NFL Playoffs Wild Card Round predictions

They were a decent team. 8-8 is far from great, though.

Especially with an inconsistent QB in Jason Campbell. I just don't get the guy, he plays lights out one week and is in complete shambles the next. If not for Darren McFadden and Jacoby Ford that team would be at the bottom of the AFC West this year, IMO.

In my own opinion they did GREAT. It's the fucking Jokeland Raiders 6-0 in the division is very exceptional. Heck, 8-8 is very fucking exceptional compared to the normal Raiders.

You must be comparing them to the Patriots and all their greatness.

They went 8-8 and 6-0 in their division. Lets see, that is 2-8 outside of the division. Sounds like a shitty division to me. And they didn't even win it.

Wow... You guys try and argue everything.

Give the Raiders some fucking credit. Jesus Christ.

IMO the Raiders had a outstanding year for the organization. Plenty to move forward on next season.... If you disagree please explain why? Cause I don't get it.

Oh and curious but if the AFC West is a shitty division what does that make NFC West?

Sure, they made vast improvements over last season. That still doesn't make them good. Yes, 6-0 in the division, in and of itself is impressive. But when you mention that they went 2-8 on non divisional games, that shows that they still suck and are from a weak division. Though it's not as bad as the NFC West, it was still a bad division this year.

I'm not trying to imply the Raiders should be in the playoffs and are one of the top teams in the NFL. I'm just impressed in what was accomplished this year, that's all.

So who do you guys think is the most dangerous team in the playoffs and who's the weakest?

Seattle is the weakest I believe. Indianapolis Colts are the team I'd watch out for.

[bcoop]

Weakest -
Colts, Jets, Chiefs -- Seahawks, Bears, Saints


Strongest - Atlanta and NE.


As long as Manning is at the helm, the Colts aren't to be underestimated. That said, they just barely limped in to the playoffs, and I don't see them getting very far.

The Packers are deadly as long as Rodgers is healthy. I think they will upset a team or two, before being knocked out in the NFC CG by the Falcons.

Both AFC and NFC West were complete crap shoots and disasters this year. Some could argue that the Chiefs weaker schedule is why they won so many games, others will say that they just flat got it done and it doesn't matter what their schedule was. 6 one way, half dozen the other.

Colts, Jets, Chiefs -- Seahawks, Bears, Saints


Strongest - Atlanta and NE.

So Philly and Green Bay are just right in the middle.

I think Philly is actually on the down swing. I feel like they peaked too soon.

Guess I meant to say most dangerous team to look out for..... Not just the top seed from both conferences. Lol

Yes on Philly. GB, eh, I'm not too certain. See my edit. They are deadly with Rodgers healthy. I think how far GB gets will depend on their matchups.

I feel the same. Vick has taken too many hits and is feeling it. he is not as young as he use to be and it takes more of a toll. Not saying he isn't capable or has lost a step, etc, but you can see it when he takes that extra second or tow to get up off the ground or gets up with a slight limp, etc. I really hope it's a good game though, I want to see at least ONE good game next weekend.

Yeah. Defenses have really made him pay this season. You can see him second guess himself for a split second when he makes the decision to run, too. There's always a stutter step now, that wasn't there earlier this season. Dallas banged him up pretty good in their first matchup, and it seemed like after that teams really started teeing off on his ass. lmao.

[GSXRK5]

Saints
Jets
Ravens
Packers

If you notice, Rodgers is the same way now too. And I honestly don't think it's getting hit that is now in the back of his mind than it is having to come out of the game or sit out a playoff game due to another concussion or head injury. He usually has the most rushing yards for the team with grant gone, but the last 2 weeks he has pretty much tried to be a pocket passer and keep the running to a minimum, which I think will hurt their offense in the playoffs since he is pretty good at seeing some open field and getting good yardage when the pocket collapses or the coverage down field is too tight.
