Confidence Polls - AFC/NFC Championships (1 Viewer)

Yes, I stole the idea from "Mike and Mike in the Morning" on ESPN Radio, but I like the idea and it makes for good discussion.

What set of RBs do you like the most to PERFORM WELL this upcoming weekend in their Conference Championship Game, and then rank the remaining RBs (or sets of RBs) from 1-4 (1 being the one you have the most confidence in, 4 the least).

All four threads:

Quarterback Confidence

Running backs Confidence

Coaching Confidence

Defense / Special Teams Confidence

These polls are flawed with the high number of Patriots fans still here.

Nonetheless, I said the Colts. I fully expect the Colts to run on the Patriots. I think the Pats try to take away the passing game in hope of getting turnovers.

I'd rank them:

Colts/Pats/Saints/Bears

Saints

Patriots

Colts

Bears

Funny, I've picked the Patriots ahead of the Colts in all of these polls, yet I expect the Colts to win the game. Where's the Intangibles Confidence Poll?

Saints

I think the Bears overcompensate for Deuce, and Reggie has a big game. It seems like a pick your poison situation and the Bears run D is over rated.

On the other hand Benson is running great and Jones is still good. So, I expect the to have a nice day too.

The Pats can stop the Colts from running, and they can run on the Colts. This one is on Manning. Should be epic.

Feel free to spin off a discussion thread on that thought. It's a good one.

Saints - No matter the outcome, the Saints duo will get plenty of yards in this game.

Bears - If the Bears are in the game (which I think they will be), this will be the major reason. I think Benson will be huge.

Patriots - Decent production here.

Colts - Don't see it happening for the Colts on the ground.

I voted TJ and Benson.

the Saints offense is high powered, yes, but that's because the Saints defense stinks, they NEED to score 30+ to win..they have to run a wide-opened attack , or they'll lose..see the Washington game a few weeks ago, where Gregg Williams, Redskins Def. coordinator, ate Sean Payton's lunch as the lowly Redskins defense stifled the league's #1 offense..

I think TJ and Benson have HUGE games this weekend..the Bears should EASILY be able to run on the hapless Saints defense, and play a grind it out, ball-control type of game. I'd be surprised if Chicago doesn't win the time of possession battle by a wide margin.

Thisis a tough call as I see all of these groups playing very well this week. I had to go with the NE group however. Primarily because of the experience between Dillon and Faulk.
