NFL playoff machine is up....

http://www.espn.com/nfl/playoffs/machine

I came out with

AFC

1. KC
2. Houston

3 .New England
4. Pittsburgh
5. Chargers
6. Titans

NFC

1. Saints
2. Rams

3. Dallas
4. Chicago
5. Minnesota
6. Seattle

Chargers/Steelers and Vikings/Bears would be 2 extremely compelling match ups for the 1st round.

I'm getting

AFC

1.)Los Angeles
2.)Houston
3.)New England
4.)Pittsburgh
5.)Kansas City
6.)Indianapolis

NFC
1.)New Orleans
2.)Los Angeles
3.)Chicago
4.)Dallas
5.)Seattle
6.)Minnesota

If the Chiefs learn how to cover....and figure out how to beat Seattle this week it would change things a lot. But they can't and they won't.

[ResAlien]

1 KC
2 Houston

3 NE
4 Pitt
5 LAC
6 Indy

1 NO
2 LAR

3 Chicago
4 Dallas
5 Seattle
6 Minnesota

Another loss from the Rams would be amazing. Either that or the Vikings implode and the Skins get in somehow.

If everything lands as is though, I'd rather face the Seahawksbthan the Vikings in the first round as home field would be more impactful

But he doesn't throw blocks.

There was this great blocking attempt:

Yep, and I'd say most Seattle fans would rather travel to Jerry's world than to Soldier Field.

[Sainters7]

This game is so painful. And they can stop with the flags anytime too. Hate flag-happy crews

[Erick Estrada]

Saints are slumping at the wrong time offensively. Looks like another game Brees will struggle to eclipse 200 yards passing.

[Erick Estrada]

Maybe it's just coincidence but Brees and Brady look like they are slowing down as the season progresses. You kind of wonder how long these guys can cheat father time.

[GirlySports]

Pick 2!

[PostandIn]

Kuechly with the dirty twist on Kamara’s ankle. Cheap. Good thing he was rolling with it.

[Sainters7]

Thank jebus they didn't do the classic Brees over the top leap, Kuechly was totally ready for it. He's sooo good and knows this offence so well. I'm so tense, lock this down

Saw that too, i was wincing waiting to see Kamara's reaction. This rivalry is real

[Sainters7]

Lewis you are an idiot, he's always been a fumble machine. Also dumbest rule in football

[ResAlien]

Newton looks extremely odd throwing the ball, that was weird. Does he always look that bad?

[Sainters7]

Saints defence is the real deal. Turnovers galore lately, and 26 sacks in their last 5 games. That needs to be talked about more.

One. More. Win.

[troutman]

Hard to like Cam. Celebrating a first down while the clock was running down in the first half is so typical.

[calgarygeologist]

I've never liked Newton because I think he is over rated and a whiny little bitch and he certainly looked awful again tonight. If I was on the Panthers payroll I'd be considering all options for a replacement QB. Maybe give Kaepernick a call and invite him out in the offseason for some training.

[Sainters7]

He basically snubbed Brees after the game too. Cam looked brutal out there today, his real skill is pouting after an L. He's my most hated player in the show

He's always had an awkward throwing motion but I don't think he's 100% right now as he's supposedly got a bum shoulder. He's a career 59% completion percentage passer so accuracy has never been a strong point even when healthy.
