Buffal0 Bill5 Posted December 26, 2005 Share Posted December 26, 2005 The AFC is going to win the Super Bowl Seattle runs and throws well. The team plays sound defense and it will have a bye week in the first round of the playoffs. Chicago has a defense that can dominate a game. Carolina, Tampa and New York have won and lost big games. All of this will be irrelevant in the playoffs. The AFC is going to win the Super Bowl. Of the six teams in the AFC that will make the playoffs -- Indy, Denver, Cincinnati, New England, Jacksonville and Pittsburgh -- the NFC would lose to all of them in the Super Bowl, except for maybe Jacksonville; Seattle or one of the other teams could probably beat the Jaguars. But if any of the other five teams go to the Super Bowl, you can start sketching the AFC logo onto one side of the ring right now. Link This came from Shannon Sharpe's column on nfl.com I still remember when the shoe was on the other foot, and we had to listen to all the crap about "Why even bother sending an AFC team" or "We should do away with the conferences and go to a bracket" blah, blah, blah. I just wish the Bills could be part of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alaska Darin Posted December 27, 2005 Share Posted December 27, 2005 It's cyclical. AFC won 8 of 9 from '73-'81. The NFC then won 15 of 16. The AFC has won 6 of the last 8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffal0 Bill5 Posted December 27, 2005 Author Share Posted December 27, 2005 I'm just hoping the AFC cycle lasts for a while. I guess I'm just an AFC guy. For the series the AFC is still down about 6. I was thinking, it would be interesting if the Colts win. They would then have a win as AFC and NFC. I guess, now that I think about it the city of Baltimore already has that. If it's Colts v. Seattle that would be two switcheroo teams meeting up. Man, I've got too much time on my hands Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And two of those games involved the Bills. Still, Seattle seems to be the only complete team in the NFC, and I think the Colts are going to be too good at home.

Had it not been for knee surgery and multiple injuries to Ben Rothleisberger where would this team be? He was understandably sore and inaccurate against the Colts, but i'd like to see the rematch. If it wasnt for an ill advised onside kick attempt to start the second half Pittsburgh played the game pretty evenly after having given up an 80 yard touchdown pass to start the game. Pittsburgh in my mind is better than any team in the NFC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pine Barrens Mafia Posted December 27, 2005 Share Posted December 27, 2005 Patriots to the Super Bowl. Bank on it. It ain't about who's hot early, it's about momentum heading into the playoffs. Right now, there's no hotter team in the AFC than New England. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
