Which teams make the playoffs in the AFC as a wildcard ?
Never tried a poll before, just wanted to see how it works..
Of course, I already know the answer: Jacksonville and San Diego
But let's see what you guys think..

Aside from the fact that they have to play Indy, Jacksonville has 3 of the easiest teams in the league on their schedule for the last 3 straight games(TEN, HOU, S.F)... They already have 9 wins, and should end up with at least 2 more, and most likely 3 more wins to easily seal the first wildcard spot.
KC and San Diego have both been real hot lately.... while San Diego is on a 5 game winning streak, and KC is on a 3 gamer. Both have very tough schedules for the remainder of the season, but San Diego should have a free win this week vs Miami.... while KC has no free wins on their schedule and has 4 games against playoff-caliber teams. San Diego also has a better point differential on the season, and has already beaten KC once this year.... If they do it again in the next meeting, the season is most likely over for KC. San Diego does have to play Indy... which could get ugly for them, but they probably don't need to win all 4 of their last games this year to pull the wildcard over KC(Given KC's aforementioned schedule).

Dolts son, dolts... like lightning dolts that will strike down all your teams..
Yeah, that's what I said. Dolts!
The Dolts!
I'm a die hard Raider fan and we will always refer to you as the Dolts, the broncos as the Donkeys, and the 49ers as the Whiners. The chiefs are simply called the Chefs, but there the only ones who have a slight winning record against us.
I like San Diego and they have been playing well lately, but they still have to go to Indianapolis and KC, as well as playing Denver at home the final week. If they make it, no team will be more deserving based on the ridiculously difficult schedule they've had this year.

+1 on nearly everything he said.
Even though my Raiders are out of the playoff picture, I can't wait for the playoffs to get started.
gamma-You should have heard the Dolt's announcers on 1540 clowning the Raiders yesterday. The Chargers announcers are such homers that it makes me sick! Damn, I was really hoping the Raiders would win yesterday but they looked absolutely pathetic. Oh well. Too bad they don't suck enough to have a chance at Reggie Bush (thank gawd ).
Actually I've heard those yuckmucks before. I was in San Diego when the Dolts where at Oakland a few months back. When I used to live there it was bad, but at least My Raiders were always hadning the Dolts there asses.
My god that radio broadcast. . . they suck so much charger dick I'd swear they were the wives announcing the game. Hank Bauer swears he's been there done that. I was listening to the game, and I had to turn it off, I couldn't stand the gulping down of Charger talk. It was almost as bad as watching Fox news.
Being at the game was fun. 1/2 the people there were Raider fans. It was the first time I was at a Raider away game. These games were probably great a few years back when the Dolts couldn't buy a game to save their lives. The Raider fans did admirably in trying to take over the stadium, but the dolts have LT, he always gets them going. Big time playmakers do that.
Not that the Raiders announcers are much better but at least they don't ridicule the other team. The Dolt's announcers were laughing and joking and clowning about basically everything that the Raiders did. They were even talking smack about Randy Moss. SD only wishes that they had a WR the caliber of Moss yet they still proceeded to say that he sucks. What a bunch of idiots. I swear, I really miss announcers like Chick Hearn and Vin Scully is a dying breed. Announcers now a days suck!

RIP Chick Hearn. I miss him too. He'd call it like it is. Sure you could tell he had a bias towards the Lakers, but if they stunk, he'd say something smells bad. An OG without a doubt. Vin Scully too, excpet I don't watch baseball that much.

Vinny is the same way gamma. He calls it like it is too.
I would love to see a sports network that used all comedians as their announcers. They would have to be comedians who are knowledgeable about the sport though, from a statistical and fan-based perspective(obviously not experience-based). I'm talking about hiring guys like George Carlin, Ray Ramano, etc.
And naturally(probably the most important part of my idea), the broadcast would be completely uncensored... meaning that the announcers could swear whenever they wanted, along with horse around... soo long as it didn't distract too much from critical parts of the game. Maybe we could even have some better halftime shows too on that network.... so long as they don't try to ever allow Janet Jackson to partake in any of these halftime shows again.
I just think that it would be a ton of fun to see that pan out... although it would probably only last one season(Like XFL ).
Just imagine it.....
Announcer: "Holy Shit!! Ray Lewis just fuckin pulverized Ben Roethlisberger right into one of the Ravens cheerleaders along the sidelines!! That couldn't have felt too good... somebody better get her up here immediately so I can get to work on her before she wakes up... Giggity Giggity Giggity!"

Remember Dennis Miller? True, he wasn't a mainstream comedian, but still, it was boring. Could you imagine Tom Arnold? Ohhh hell no. You would need someone with a bunch of quick one liners, not material that actually makes you think, like George Carlin. I for one, actually like John Madden.

I have no problem with what Janet Jackson did. In fact, I would only encourage that sort of behavior. We need to come out of our puritan shells. The problem was the unnecessary fall out.

I realize that some of you don't speak Spanish, but if you've ever heard an NFL game broadcast in Spanish . . . it's pretty fun.
