That's an odd thing for you and YTown to say, as the Texans did not play well either. A rather poor performer won against a worst team....and they almost gave it away. You all act like the Texans played well and that's why the Bengals lost. Not the case from the game I watched.
Agree totally, that game put me to sleep before the third quarter was over.

which should tell you Cinci isnt a playoff team 
If you need 3 years to be a winner you got here 2 years to early. Get it done Browns.

I think that I underestimated the Texans more than I overestimated the Bengals.
The Texans had been playing pretty badly ..... then they managed to turn it around somewhat today.
Exactly. Obviously some don't tend to look on both sides of the ball. Since week 13, the only time the Texans held anyone to under 23 points was Indy at 17 and Indy came back to beat them in week 17 with 28 points.
And people seem to refuse to look at how well Cincy's D has been playing lately. They also seem to forget that the Giants had a very average season at best but were riding into the playoffs as a wild card. But they had a great streak and momentum going into the playoffs.
Because of that, they went on to win the SB. To think the Bengals could have ever made it that far is totaly out of the question. But it has been proven that a lesser team with momentum against a better team in a slump can go either way.
And of course there must be finger pointing and accusations of some other alterior motive than that for picking them.

Yes, I saw them, and thought they looked like crap doing it. It was pretty obvious they would once again be one and done.

I didn't realize that saying that some seem to overestimate the Bengals every year constitutes finger pointing and accusations.

Of course.  I picked the Bengals to win plenty of games this season....but historically, they stink it up in the playoffs and tradition stuck last night.
What's funny is that to take shots at me, you replied to another poster. Neato.

I have no idea what you're talking about here, Pit. It's okay, though...I'm going to take my ball and go home. We'll have to postpone our game for another day.

I think Seattle can beat Atlanta.
Green Bay will route SF because Rodgers is playing out of his mind and I think the Capernick experiment will fail horribly...
Denver routes Baltimore.
And I HOPE Houston gets revenge against New England, but doubt it.

I agree. Seattle convinced me on a really lousy field that they can play with anyone.
I think that Seattle can go into Atlanta and beat the Falcons. Given the Falcons history in the playoffs makes this seem to be a safer bet.

Kaepernick, but you summed up my feelings perfectly as well. I think ATL wins, but Seattle sure can give them a battle and I'd call it a complete tossup (even in Atlanta - I'd go Seattle for sure if it was in Washington).

Saturday
Ravens @ Broncos
Packers @ 49ers
Sunday
Seahawks @ Falcons
Texans @ Patriots
As convincingly as they beat the Colts, I still think the Ravens are a total mess. The media-driven "Manning MVP storyline" kicks back into 6th gear as soon as the RG3/Shanny blame game stops. We'll all remember how freaking great Peyton was and is and he demonstrates why all over Flacco's chin. Bronc's put it away late in the 3rd Quarter.
I think the Packers will bounce back after that regular season 49ers beatdown and a demonstrate what a real QB means in the playoffs. The Packers offense plays better on the road...and they will beat the 49ers. THe score will appear close, but the Packers will control the whole game.
Until the Falcons win, they are paper champs in the playoffs. I feel like they're still missing something on that team. The Seachickens seem to know how to win pretty, ugly or any way. I think the game is close in the 4th and the Falcons make a mistake to lose.
The Patriots are the Patriots. They win. Schaub doesn't have what it takes to beat Brady in NE. Sorry Texans fans, you lose and lose BIG.

I'm going to go totally opposite of you, except for the Patriots. I don't see Houston winning that game. I think the Rats will beat the Broncos, and it won't even be close. Manning just looks like the week off hurt him. I think the 49ers stomp the Packers because the Packers D can't do crap. I think the Falcons finally shake the curse and win, and win big. So, considering how good I am at this, that pretty much guarantees that the Texans, Broncos, Packers and Seahawks win in routes.

I'm surprised so many think the Packers are going to win this weekend.
The 49ers beat the Packers at Lambeau with Alex Smith at the helm earlier this year.
They can stop the Packers running game with their front 7 no problem. And the Packers OL is going to have a whale of a time handling the niners pass rush. And the Packers defense has all kinds of issues.
What am I missing here?

Greg Jennings and Jordy Nelson are healthy and James Jones is having his best year ever, maybe?
I don't have a good feel for who will win, but the Niners haven't exactly looked great since Kaepernick's novelty wore off. A lot of times a QB comes off the bench and looks great at first until people catch on to what he is good at ("Tommy Maddox is lightning in a bottle.") It should be a fun game.

It seems like every year there is a team that collapses after having the bye week off.
New England has a great coach and a great veteran QB. They have the leadership to prevent it from happening.
Denver had a determined Peyton Manning, and if I'm not mistaken, he can relate a cautionary tale about coming off the bye only to get bounced.
Atlanta should be ready, but I think that Seattle is just a little better right now .... especially if weather is not a concern. Green Bay and San Fran are fairly close as well, but when in doubt, go with the better QB, and he resides in Green Bay.
