So you're saying the Giants will beat the Seahawks?


Now I'm not arguing that it's impossible. It's never impossible. I'm arguing the fact if you had all your life savings riding on that game in a straight up bet you wouldn't take the Giants



Considering I don't bet sports no. But if I were to do so, I'd bet Eli manning and the Giants in the playoffs, yes. And trust me..I believe Seattle is a better team than the Giants, but there's just something about Eli and the Giants in the playoffs every fourth year..

LOL... Do you have an algorithm for this?? U seriously think Eli is like the month of February or some shit like every fourth year when the full moon rises his secret powers are unlocked?? I think on the Mayan calendar they missed a big picture of Eli throwing a pick 6 in Seattle with the words "the chosen one" enscribed

Carolina is better than Arizona. Vikings are about equal to Seattle even though they lost to them handily. Buccaneers are finally getting their shit together after a rough start to the season. To say that Seattle is the prototypical underperforming team is false. That defense is a shell of what it use to be. They've lost to bad teams, Seattle is on the downswing while the other two programs you mentioned are on the rise


oh boy that's a different pov than i have.
seattle has a stacked roster for a few years now, ofc they are not the same team, but still way above the the nfl roster as far as talent goes. wagner alone makes that defense a problem.
i dont think minn or tb are good. neither have a great offense or scary defense. i think tb is the least scary team in that division.

i would like to have the arizona vs carolina debate tho. carolina has the best power run game and some amazing ilbs. i think arizona is too fast on defense, they will limit carolina to only a between the tackles run attack, and force quick throws (which cam struggles with, and the arizona defense's secondary is filled with ball hawks).
i think arizona can spread carolinas defense and move the ball through the air, basically eliminating their lbs.
i love watching carolina run through people. but there is a reason teams throw the ball so much in this day and age. at the end of the day arizona has a more dangerous offense, and atleast an equally dangerous defense.

Actually I'm more into debating your first points. Minnesota and tampa bay both have actually very good defense, tampa bays has really stepped up and performed well over the last few weeks in particular. Vikings are dealing with injuries now but boast one of the best front 7 in the nfl, both teams have top 5 run games, Minnesota limits their turnovers, and tampa bay has a good passing attack with an ever improving qb who just happens to be one of the top qb prospects in the last decade. Seattle has a defense that's allowed more ppg than they have the previous two years, an O-line that has let their qb get massacred, and they've lost home games this year as well. I understand they had 2 good games and it's got you really excited, but please try to look at the overall body of work without jumping on the hype train.

Look at the differences in teams they've played LOL

Is Seattle as dominant as they have been the last 2 years, not really.

If Seattle goes to the playoffs do any teams in the NFL outclass them, nope.

Cant say the same for Bucs or Vikings

I think I've found the problem.

The Christian Fellowship section might be the right section for your Prophecies. Eli is even in the bible, so you're one step ahead.

do you not see the irony of telling me to look at the big picture while you focus on 2-3 week spans?
tb lost to tenn.... they gave up 42 to a qb making his 1st ever start. they lost to indy with a 40y/o qb. the defense clearly isnt that great. not to mention the praise you just gave winston based on pretty much nothing is kinda weird.
minn on the other hand just got demolished by the seattle team you said isnt good. minn had the benefit of an amazingly easy schedule this season, and they took advantage of it (which they should of). the toughest team they played was denver week 4. besides that their next tough game is this week. i think you may have fallen victim to stat sheets. i dont think either of those teams are that dangerous.

Ok I'm looking. Am I supposed to be impressed by a home win over chicagons backup, a fluke win over Detroit, a very very slim victory over Dallas with no romo, and a sweep of the 9ers?? Their two good wins have come in the last two weeks, every quality team they've played prior to the last two has beat them...what is so difficult to understand?

Yes you should be.

You're impressed by the Bucs and Vikings....seems logical.
