49ers at Pats (8:20 PM EST)

[Geoffrey P]

I feel like the Patriots would win if they were to meet again. It took the Patriots such a long time to score a TD and they had more dropped balls than ever before.

But then again the 49ers muffed it quite a few times on the snap too...

Unless the Browns or Chiefs upset the broncos, it looks like we're looking at no bye this year. MUCH tougher road to the SB

Who are the possible opponents for the first round then

Colts, Steelers, Bengals, or Ravens (gulp) are the people we'd see at home.

Ravens are the last time I'd want to see. They're probably still fuming over what happened last time for one.

Yeah, they lucked out and saw Pittsburgh lose to the Cowboys.

Our road will most likely go

Vs Colts
@ Denver
@ Houston or home vs a lower seed who upset them.

I'm fine with travelling for the AFC championship game, and I certainly am not afraid of Indy. But that @ Denver gets to me...especially with how this defense played against Kaep.

[Celtics_Champs]

Our best hope tbh is to see Houston lose out. Adrian Peterson is a machine and the vikings have a decent defense. They could steal one in Houston. Then they would play the colts in indy, where who knows what could happen with luck.

Denver would still get the 1 seed and homefield throughout, but we'd at least get a weeks rest.

Hell of a game! Would have been nice to win but man that was a game...On the failed comeback note...when was the last time Brady had a game winning drive?!

Nothing really was going our way, yet we were able to fight our way back. The bounces were just going their way e.g. (Brady's 2nd INT bounced off of Hernandez, a 9'er and then caught in stride, same with Ridleys 2nd fumble, plus the Gore recovery TD) Weather neutralized our offenses for the entire half (and a tenacious 9'er D), and cant fault the the defense, as it barely got any rest in the first half.

Great game, though!

As for the playoffs....I don't want Denver! one word PeytonManning:D We didnt have the easiest of time containing him earlier, and he was still finding his groove. Anyone else but Denver.

That was almost one hell of a comeback, hey the Niners out played the Pats. I still think the Pats are the team to be in the AFC. My guess on the playoffs.

1. Houston
2. Denver
3. New England
4. Baltimore
5. Indy
6. Pittsburgh

Pats over Steelers
Ravens over Colts

Pats over Broncos
Ravens over Texans

Pats over Ravens
