I could see just about any teams making the Super Bowl except for maybe the Bengals and Vikings. Considering the ass kicking the Vikings just doled out to the Texans, I wouldn't be sure about them either. Houston was the first team to slow Peterson down in a while and they ended up getting stomped anyway.

They've been a fraud all season and they tend to go ass up in the playoffs. Baltimore is another one. They've looked shaky in most of their wins and have lost 3 of their last 4 (2 of those to playoff teams)

I think if Atlanta wins their first playoff game, they win the Super Bowl.
That's a pretty big "if" but I think their divisional round playoff game will be the toughest game they play the entire run. After that, the pressure's completely off.

I'm just glad that we have some different teams in the playoffs this year. Indy, Seattle, Denver, Cinci - it's a nice change up from the typical powerhouses that make the playoffs exclusively.

Honestly this year is one of those years where anything can happen. There really isn't a definitive "best team" this year.

Not too sure about the Skins chances in the playoffs, even though they do have an explosive offense that can score. However, it'll be tough for them to even win one game, since they'd be hosting either the Seahawks or Niners in the first round.

You guys know what I mean! No, regardless of what happened last year - it's always nice to have some semi-new faces in the playoffs. It makes it nice to have some different teams in there, and especially with this year, it doesn't feel like there's a set "best" team as toxik said.

As per usual, theslickness refuses to give the Ravens any credit.
As for the Falcons- well, if they reach the NFC Championship game and lose, would winning a playoff game be considered enough of a success?

I just don't think that they're *that* good. Could they get it together and do damage? Of course. I just dont think they've got enough in the tank As for Atlanta: Absolutely. If they get to the NFC title game, then that does take a good chunk of the stigma off of them

Personal opinion: The New York Jets should clean house completely and start anew.

More stats from Sunday afternoon(other than Brees and Luck):
Janorius Jenkins has 3 Pick-Sixes this season, tied for most by a rookie in NFL history(Lem Barney and Ronnie Lott).
Charles Tillman's pick-six was the 8th by the Bears defense this season, tied for 2nd most in a season in NFL history('98 Seahawks; record is 9 by the '61 Chargers).
Wes Welker broke the tie with Jerry Rice and Andre Johnson for most career games with at least 10 catches(18).
Tom Brady tied Johnny Unitas for 2nd-longest streak of consecutive games with a TD pass.
Jamaal Charles has 3 TD runs of at least 80 yards this season, tying Chris Johnson(2009 & 2012) and Barry Sanders(1997) for the most in a season in NFL history.
Charles joins Adrian Peterson as the only players in NFL history with at least two career games with at least 200 rushing yards while averaging 10 yards a carry and scoring a TD.

Just a thought If the Cowboys don't make the post season do any of ya'll see Romo getting traded.
Cause with Garrett gone I don't see Romo being the starter on the Cowboys any more

Cam Newton issued a public apology after allegedly bumping referee Jerome Boger during Sunday's Week 16 Panthers-Raiders game.
CBS Sports' Jason La Canfora reports that the Jets' firing of offensive coordinator Tony Sparano is "imminent."
NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports Ravens FS Ed Reed is unlikely to be suspended following his fourth illegal hit in three seasons during Sunday's Week 16 win over the Giants.
League sources tell CBS the Jets are planning to replace GM Mike Tannenbaum, but hope to keep him in a "cap management role."

Cause with Garrett gone I don't see Romo being the starter on the Cowboys any more Romo has been fine, it's the patchwork defense and lack of a steady running game that has been the let down. Garrett will be back anyway based on reports.
