& yes, it's somewhat Blazer-related, because Joe Webb and Roddy White are in the playoffs with a chance to cash a Super Bowl check if either of them are lucky enough to get that far. Congratulations to the both of them (did I leave any other UAB alum in the NFL out that made it to the dance?)...
So, who y'all got in round one? Me, I have winning this weekend:
AFC: Baltimore (can't let the great Ray Lewis's career end in Charm City)
Houston (in a damn close one!)
NFC: Seahawks & Packers (I heard a rumor that Ponder is "questionable" for this game, could it mean a Joe Webb sighting at last?)
AFC: Patriots
NFC: Falcons
I'm interested in seeing who the champion of the NFC is, as a number of teams could win it. AFC will be either Denver or New England.
As for this weekend, Ravens, Bengals, Seahawks, and Packers.
Ravens, Bengals, Redskins, and Packers
Since I am a Falcons fan, I want the vikings to win vs the Packers... If Joe could be the QB too that'd be amazing. due to seeding rules in the NFL round 2 would be Falcons vs the lowest seed... i.e. the Vikings.
Ravens because Ray Lewis
Bengals/texans I'm apathetic
Seahawks/ redskins... no one wants either of those teams in the playoffs.
The San Francisco 49er's are my team. They have a bye this weekend.
Nothing would be better than seeing Joe take the team into Atlanta for a 2nd round game.
With Joe at QB, my team is the Vikings.
Without Joe, I wouldn't complain if the Packers or the Falcons make it to the NFC championship game.
Baltimore can suck it! RL will Luck..ily play his last game in that ugly purple uniform tomorrow. Seattle and the Vikings, although I'm not sure if Webb gets any chance at all to play. The Bengals, even though they knocked us out of the playoffs, but I hate the Texans more.
Just got in front of a TV set, congratulations to the RAVENS and the great Ray Lewis on their win today, it was an emotional event all around for a number of reasons. I'm watching the 4th quarter of the Seahawks - Redskins...WTF is Kirk Cousins doing on the field? Did the Seahawks take out RG3?
RG3 has severe knee problems.
I don't pay much attention to the NFL. The exception is that I'm a Seahawks fan and I watch their games. Once they're eliminated, I'm done...but for now, GO SEAHAWKS
The games this weekend really weren't that exciting to me.
I was interested in the Vikings game because Joe was in it, nothing else.

You didn't think that Colts - Ravens game had any intrigue to it? I sure as heck did!!! Business should pick up big time in round 2!!! GO FALCONS!!!

Redskins Seahawks had an amazing story to it. The Bengals Texans game was very close. The Colts Ravens game had two great storylines. Of all the games, the worst one to watch was the Vikings Packers game. That one was all but over by halftime.
Not a big AFC fan, but I would probably watch the Broncos, Patriots, or Steelers if they had a game.
I still think of Seattle as an AFC team.
Had it not been for Joe, I would have watched & rooted for the Packers.
Because Joe was QB, I didn't really watch the game from a Packers point of view.
I'm just curious, what makes you think of Seattle as an AFC team?

maybe because they were an AFC West team until the late 90s when the league reorganized.

Yeah, I still have trouble remembering they're in the NFC now.
