I think Jamal Lewis, rookie running 1400 yards had much more to do with the success of the offense.
Add in the ravens had 5 consecutive games in which the offense scored 0 touchdowns... yet they won 2 of those games.
I can't lay it on any thicker than I have already. :\Dilfer was a pretty good qb. His specialities were 'don't make too many mistakes,' 'let the defense shut down the other team,' and 'make some completions when the running game doesn't get first downs.' He did this to great effect in Tampa and Baltimore. He wasn't the key to either team's championship, though.
You are mis-remembering. Every time the defense faltered, Trent was there to pick up the slack.

My hat is off to you dank69, that was some of the most subtle yet effective trolling I've seen in a long time. Well done!
NFC Divisional games:
Atlanta vs. Seattle- It will be closer that the last couple of Falcons playoff games but unless this turns into a big shootout I think Seattle gets by with the win. The Seahawks pass defense has been lights out this season and the Matt Ryan to White/Jones/Gonzalez combo will not be enough to overcome that.
San Francisco vs. Green Bay - Toughest game of the week for me to pick but I will go with Green Bay. I think Kaepernick will not play very well and the talk of "Why did Harbaugh bench Alex Smith" will be heard the whole offseason.
AFC Divisional Games:
New England vs. Houston - I think the Patriots smoke the Texans. Houston's secondary stinks and Tom Brady is leagues better than Andy Dalton. Look for a repeat of the week 14 matchup, maybe a tad bit closer.
Denver vs. Baltimore - Denver wins this game hands down. Baltimore played with a bunch of emotion Sunday but that train will come to a grinding halt at Mile High (or whatever they are calling it).
Nice trolling

Thanks, but I owe my success to darkwaffle, without whom this could never have been possible. :thumbsup:I will admit it was well done.
I agree with these predictions.
Though I would love to see houston route New England, I do not see that happening.

I'm pretty sure it was rg who convinced him to let him play.
The AFC games feel more predictable to me. Don't see how Denver & NE *don't* win unless they have some terribly foolish turnovers. Both teams have completely pounded their matchups recently. I don't care that Ray and Pollard are back for Baltimore. Peyton is a stud, playing at home, and with a very good defense.
NE is playing at home, Brady is a stud, and their defense is better than they get credit for.
I just see a Brady & Manning AFC championship game in the works with Goodell and CBS having uncontrollable orgasms thinking about the revenue from that.
NFC is much cloudier. Gut says that ATL chokes again and Seattle marches on to the NFC championship.
Green Bay has been playing great ball and Rodgers is playing angry. SFO has had a couple shakey games and a bit vulnerable. Again, gut says the more explosive Green Bay team walks away with the win. That gives the Fail Mary rematch between Seattle and Green Bay in the NFC championship. This time at Lambeau.
Fox and Goodell orgasm uncontrollably.
I know it's not the same thing (not an injury), but it reminds me of when Pedro Martinez convinced the Red Sox manager to keep him in a game longer than he should've. Players are sometimes the worst judge of how they're feeling and/or performing. But, since many great players have played well through pain/illness/etc, they try to convince coaches to keep them in.

If Houston wins it would be my shock of the week. Hell I would even be surprised if the Patriots win this game by anything less than 10 points. New England is going to score a butt load of points, Matt Schaub is going to be forced to toss the ball 50 times to Andre Johnson who will be blanketed and there will be some costly turnovers.

ha! I think Dank69 is mostly trolling. Dilfer wasn't bad, he just was an OK QB. is responsibility was to to not fuck up and help the offense score ~10 points each game so the defense could win.
He did that remarkably well.
Green Bay beats Seattle and Denver beats New England setting up a Denver Super Bowl victory.

Now hang on a minute, Flacco (and his receivers) played one hell of a game against the Colts, or course it won't be near as easy in Denver but it could happen, the rest of the team has rallied around Lewis's early return and the last of his playing days, expect a dogfight here..
