7 head coach sackings. Unfortunately, none of them from Detroit  only 3 line coaches

They don't muck around over there do they. Private owners don't believe in rebuilding  .

No need for rebuilding in the NFL.. If you got the money you buy in free agents.  Grab a couple of high draft picks, say like a young QB  and a gun wide receiver.. Bring in a great defensive coach and wammo you're in the the next playoff.  Just like the Bengals did.

Wild card weekend tips?

Going Texans over Bengals, but finding this one hard to split. Bengals starting def 4 are a brick wall, but JJ Watts is a wall unto himself. Schaub been average though.

Packers over Vikings. Ponder might not even play yet yeah?

Seahawks over Redskins. Will be a good game and RG3 is on song. Just reckon Seahawks are one of the most complete and all round teams this season and could go all the way. Lynch, Wilson etc just too good.

Ravens over Colts. Colts would be feel good story of the year but they've got their hands full here.

NFL Kickoff 2-Minute Drill on ESPN predicting Ravens v 49ers Superbowl.
He's also backing Bengals, Packers, Ravens, Redskins this weekend. Most of the panel pumping up the Seahawks but their dubious road record might not be in their favour.

Texans
Skins - toss of a coin, should be a great game
Vikes - cause I hate the pack and they have a poor at home playoff record recently 
Ravens

But like your picks Dwaino

Reminds me of a basketball one I heard the other day. "What do you call 12 millionaires sitting around a TV watching the NBA playoffs? The Detroit Pistons."

Good enough to clinch. Besides the Lions, NFC north was tight. Should get up over the Vikings, especially if Ponder doesn't play. His shoulder or something is apparently questionable for this weekend.

Texans defence has stepped up. im worried at the moment

[Bengal]

Geez even though Bengals got the touchdown on interception, we're getting smashed on the line.. on a positive Texan's are being held to field goals because of good zone coverage

[dwaino]

Yikes. In a game like this, that Texan TD is huge.

[one-eyed]

Yep the Bengals are out. Lost 13-19.

Packers through after winning 24-10 over the Vikings.

[gerkin greg]

Colts out. Just lacked that bit of experience and not quite good enough defensively.

Skins have the first TD on the opening drive

Pete Carroll is a clown, can't stand him
