Warrior13, I've noticed people are starting to slide with the Saints after Brees performance last week. What you say about Keenum only being a game manager and not a playmaker like a Brady, Brees or Rogers is why I think the Saints will win. Correct me if I'm wrong but if you were putting a team together you'd want the best player in that team to be the quarterback? He's the guy in control who everyone is looking to for leadership. If I was a player and my quarterback under center had no experience in high pressure games, he was a journeyman who couldn't cut it at several other NFL clubs and he is a back-up at the club I play for I would be a bit nervous going into the game.
It's a given that New England will be representing the AFC, as soon as they got homefield advantage throughout the competition it was over. Pittsburgh can't beat New England at the Patriots in the playoffs, neither can Jacksonville and certainly not Tennessee. The only way Tennesse can cause an upset is if the running back Derrick Henry has the game of his life and I don't think that is going to happen.
The only interesting thing left in this season now is who will they be facing, Minnesota, New Orleans, or Atlanta. I'm hoping its not Atlanta, we know already what happens when those two teams meet. Minnesota's defense against Brady would be interesting though as would Brees be Brady.
Just wondering, who would you say is the better quarterback and why, Keenum or Foles? To me they are both backup quarterbacks yet everybody has written off Philadelphia. People forget Foles went to the Pro Bowl in 2013 and was the MVP of that game and also holds the record of having 7 Touchdowns in one game. Not even Brady has done that.
