Who will win the NFC Championship?

Well it won't be the Vikings...

That was a horrible way to lose. I feel sorry for the Vikes fans...that one has to hurt.

In case you were enjoying Wildcard Weekend, FOX lets you end it with Joe Buck.

Shit.

That was a horrible way to lose. I feel sorry for the Vikes Bengals fans...that one has to hurt.

I should have placed a visiting team parlay bet. But being that they were all favored, it probably wouldn't have paid much. Maybe I'll get in on some action next week.

WAS game went pretty much as expected, except for them teasing me in the first quarter. Didn't think they'd beat GB (or even make the playoffs) though, so no real surprise.

I'd be creating fake FB accounts and spamming "Yeah...damn Burfict and Pacman!" to keep folks focused elsewhere

I'm just hoping whoever wins the NFC takes down the Patriots. I can't stand to see the Pats win yet another super bowl.

Anyone catch that Packers/ Cardinals game..holy crap that last quarter was just unbelievable..Cardninals looks very sloppy and won that by luck.. hope they give a better showing or they are in big trouble.. and as they pointed out Carson Palmer has a history of choking on the big games, which is exactly how it looked to me.

On the contrary, he turned it around by throwing to his star receiver.
Hopefully that win will relieve some of the pressure, and they can play well despite the injuries.

It never should have been that way to begin with. There were multiple times that we were saved by drops even though Peyton put the ball right on the money.

Except for the team that did better. Not saying they won't win, but, they aren't the best in their own conference...

They just didn't show up. I wish they would peak when they go into the playoffs one of these years instead of limping in at less than 100%.

No, this is not "just not showing up." This is getting skunked, badly, by a better and more prepared team. And you have a USC QB, they are actually not allowed to win big games in the NFL.

If you've watched AZ games this season, it'd be easy to see. Palmer has been off for 4 or 5 games now, and without a defense at 100%, Carolina is too good to slow down. Larry Fitzgerald even dropped a pass; that's unheard of.

Being off for 4 or 5 games makes you not the best team in your conference, which would have been going on longer than when I made that statement.

Certainly, though it wouldn't be accurate to say they were the best all season. As with any sport, there are hills and valleys. It's the infrequency of games that makes losses that much more heartbreaking in football, though.

Of course, since the NFL has one, and only one, way to rank who is best, win-loss record, and at no time at all this season has Carolina been out of 1st place in their conference...
