Jamarcus Russell had the majority of the snaps for Oakland but didnt do so well...7/23 for 83 yards, 1 TD and 3 INTS, however the Jags arent easy to play against
New England 1 game away from 16-0 while both the Vikings and the Browns screw up in their playoff hunt, especially the Browns screwed up as the now dont control their own destiny and also...
Green Bay 7-35 Chicago
wtf? Packers arent so good after all? To me it seemed like an offday but time will tell
and at last, Seahawks wonB)

Patriots beat the G-Men to become the 2nd team in history to win all regular season games and end 16-0. I cant imagine them not winning the superbowl unless Peyton and his Colts have a great game against them (they will probably play eachother in the AFC game)

Actually they aren't the second team in history to win all the regular season games. They are the second team in the Super Bowl Era (the modern era) to have completed the regular season undefeated. I think like one or two teams did it before the super bowl era, like the 1942 Bears won all their regular season games and i think another team did it as well. They are first team to go 16-0 in the regular season, but that is because the '72 Dolphins only had 14 regular season games. They finished that year 17-0. But it must be noted that during that year in the regular season they only faced two teams with winning records and neither of those teams made it to the playoffs.
Im glad that neither the Vikes nor the Saints went trough, Redskins I think are the perfect opponent for the 'Hawks, however something ironic about yesterday's win over the Cowboys, the redskins won by 21 points, and what was Sean Taylor's number again?
Giants @ Buccaneers
This one is for the Giants I think, Bucs are good but have never really impressed me (except for Earnest Graham)
Jags @ Steelers
Steelers will just win thanks to their home field advantage, Jags aren'r a bad team however and if Garrard can put on a nice game the Jags could very well surprise
Titans @ Chargers
These teams are perhaps the most inconsistent teams that made it to the playoffs, Chargers went from being Superbowl bound to a decent team that did make the playoffs but not with such a great record. Titans were also decent this season and were very lucky to be here because if the Browns hadnt screwed up against Cinci last week they would've been there. Coin toss for and the Chargers win...

Redskins have been on a roll of late and they are playing for the late Taylor, but for as good as they have been doing lately, i think the seahawks will win. But that is only if they get the run game going, which it looks like Alexander might be starting to come on.
The Giants looked good the other night, but that can be attributed to a couple of reasons. First being that they played to become one of the biggest spoilers in history. The other being that since their playoff postion was locked up, they were able to play that game with no pressure. Now they move to the pressure packed playoffs were you win or go home. And if you have ever seen Eli Manning play a game you no he sucks hard when he is under pressure to preform. That is why the Bucs will win the game. They have a good to almost great "D", and Jeff Garcia is a good enough game manager to limit mistakes and lead them to victory. And an interesting side note, if Garcia were to win it would be the third time he has beaten the Giants in the playoffs and all with different teams. (49ers, Eagles, and Bucs)
The Jags are the Darkhorse team to win it all right now. And this game against Pittsburgh should be the best of the round. Jags went to pittsburgh like 3 weeks ago, and beat them. They have the best run game in the league and a stout defense. If i had to guess i would say the Jags would win, but Pittsburgh seems to get in done in games like this, so i wouldn't be surprised if they won. I would actually like the Steelers to win because they are the team i would like to see my Pats face in the next round.
The Chargers and Titans played to overtime a couple of weeks ago, but i don't see it being close this time. The Chargers have gotten LT going and as good a defense as they have i don't think it will be enough. The only way i see Titans winning is if they do stop the run and force Rivers to beat them. Which would make it tough on the chargers because in my opinion i think he sucks.
That is my playoff breakdown.

At least you guys had a better season than my guys (Rams)
They did!? Unbelievable, I thought Marc Bulger was a good QB
I can sum this up for you pretty easily. Marc Bulger a pretty good QB. Stephen Jackson great RB. Torry Holt good WR. And there you have what is good on the team. The rest, not so much.
EDIT: @ Stemple, Rivers indeed sucks, saw him a few times and didnt impress me at all, luckily they have LT who is carrying that offense. Also I've changed my mind and think the Jags will beat the Steelers basically because of Taylor and Jones-Drew, saw a little segment on nfl.com about how Pittsburgh played against Baltimore and its great great runningbacks Musa Smith and Cory Ross(who?) If they play like that against Taylor it will be a fun day for him

You mention Musa Smith. I actually got a chance to see him play High School Football. And my brother got to play against him, evan tackled him. Just a little interesting fact.
