Hi BW, like KC today too.

They said that all New England tried to do the last two weeks of the regular season was run the ball on offense. Supposedly the sole purpose to that is to have their patch work offensive line gel, which includes guys from off the street as I understand it. Run and short quick passes, that will be the game plan. 3rd and long will be a problem for the Pats. I think the last time that Andy Ried and Bill Bellicheck met in the playoffs, that was the Superbowl, and that game was tied going into the 4th quarter. This could be a close game too.

That Seattle Carolina game, Seattle should not even be here. Last week, that Minnesota game was defined by three plays, the long completion after the bad snap setting up the only TD of the game, the Peterson fumble setting up a FG, and the missed FG by the Vikings. A broken play, a fumble, and missed chip shot FG, that is how the Oakland Raiders use to win under Al Davis. Seattle has to do more to win at Carolina. Not sure if they can do more, considering they are facing a better team too. They were beat last Sunday, just those three plays went for them. And they needed all three.

The Pittsburgh Denver game is a curious game, because both Superbowl winning elite quarterbacks are playing hurt. Really don't remember such a big game where both QBs are ailing like this. Do you take the home team at Mile High? Take the +7 points? Take the younger QB in Roethelisberger that maybe he can recover better? Or take the backup QB which would be Osweiller?

Best of luck to your plays this weekend BW!

Polaris, and friends , I hope you all did well on Saturday. That Pittsburgh vs. Denver game is intriguing. I can compare this game , to the 2011 meeting between these two clubs in the playoffs.Recall , the great Tim Tebow, beat the heavily favorite Broncos that day. Can it become a total 360 degree turn around for the Pittsburgh Steelers?. We will soon see. Good Luck All. BROOKLYNWORM
