Favre may be going to the Superbowl.
Don't count out the Giants. They play the ugliest football in the history of the NFL (and always have), but they do find ways to win.
Tony Homo's legacy as a playoff loser continues to grow!
I will be pulling for old Favre thru the rest of the season.
I'll be pulling for the Packers.
The Giants have played well. Winning in Lambeau may be different, especially if the weather is like it was yesterday.
Blue Wahoo won't have anything positive or negative to say about "Cletus" this week though. He'll wait till they lose. They've already gone further than I thought they would.

I hope he does, and hands it to Brady in a big way.

That is an absolute certainty.
With the Colts loss today, I was ready to turn off the rest of the season. Now that the Cowgirls have lost, I may have to become a Packer fan for the next couple of weeks.
I hope someone blasts New England.

Well, my Dolphins and my Colts are already out of it. Why not add another team or three? [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/wink.gif[/img]
I always thought you'd be a "Packer" fan.
You would be right. A Vagina Packer.

Denver and Steeler fan..so I'm out as well, so why not go for the Pack? I'd like to see Favre get another..although, I'll stand on what I said around week 3-4. NE will go 19-0.
I'll be here all week. Be sure to try the honey mustard chicken and tip your Chinese waitress.

It's all you...
I'd rather tip the honey mustard chicken and try the Chinese waitress.
The look on Jerry Jones' face was priceless. Go Packers or Giants or San Diego. Anybody but New Cheatland.
I hope to see the Giants and the Chargers in the superbowl (With the bolts winning) cause of all that trash Eli talked not wanting to play for a team with no future etc when the bolts drafted him anyway and traded for a Much better Phillip Rivers (IMO)
Bolts have a tough challenge ahead of them tho.... the pats.... Hopefully they can get rested up in the week and go in and stick it to them!
But I do like Bret Favre... who doesn't gotta respect someone like Favre, and Brady for that matter kinda class act type guys... Either way this season has been HUGE for my bolts and I couldn't be happier!
GO CHARGERS
After the bolts shafted Marty last year, I could care less if they ever win another game - even though I like Rivers and LT.
Yeh packers get my vote. Gotta love favre.
Agree. Gotta pull for a southern boy who still loves the game.
And I'd like to see one more superbowl played in a football climate - mud, wind, snow, cold, etc. Forget the domes and southern climes.
Marty did get the shaft I completely hate what happened, but there was more behind the scenes with him getting fired I think. Im not a coach fan, SO I could care less, I didn't think Norv Turner was that great a choice with his track record... but the bolts are in the AFC championship game.... so I can live with it, Marty ball will be alive once again somewhere id say soon.
After the Dallas and Giants game...a thought came to mind. Way back when Parcells left, the 'Boys made a choice that essentially decided that Romo and TO was better for the boys than Parcells...and they preceeded to try to fill his shoes with an ex-head coach who was working as a coordinator and had never won a playoff game. And he still hasn't..with a team that was one more year advanced and gelled than when Parcells last coached them. But, did ANYONE expect a playoff win from Wade Phillips?????...seriously. Think about it...Great and even Good coaches usually don't have to work as a coordinator after their first head coaching spot (Landry, Johnson, Madden, Lomabrdi, Gibbs, Holmgren, Belicheck, etc)..doing so is a demotion and pretty good proof that the coach isn't quite good enough to be more than a coordinator (Bugel, Phillips, Turner etc). Truth's the truth...dallas's ship has only BEGAN to sink. As for the rest of the playoffs....either GB or NY is where my hopes lie.
With a nut job like jerry jones, what do you expect?
Can't count out old man farve he's still got it
He stumbled into a great coach in Johnson...and Switzer inherited that team. Parcells was turning around the mess in big D...(and he knows how to turn teams around...see NYG, NYJ, and NE) until everyone decided to go down on TO and Romo and alienate the coach. They got exactly what they deserved, and I hope they keep gettin it. BTW, Bradshaw's run down to the 1 was prolly the hardest nosed run I've seen in a while.
I agree with you. Jones has alot more money that patience. Jimmy left despising the guy. Hope Julius gets out of that dump soon.
I wonder where Julius will end up next year. I think this is his final year of his contract.
Don't know. But I hope he gets a fair shake somewhere next year. Personally, I don't like the 2 back system. Parker averaged 23 carries this year - used to be, every starting rb averaged more carries than that. I imagine it's hard to get in the rhythym averaging 7 carries per game.
Definately, most backs hit that stride in the 3rd and 4th qtrs when the defense is worn down. Most backs say they need at least 25 touches to get into a good rhythm.
I agree. But I guess I'm old school - I still love the running game that utilizes a blocking back.
You have to have at least two good backs to win a Super Bowl.

I understand what you are saying but Belicheck was a head coach in Cleveland, got canned and ended up as a defensive coordinator for several years before getting another shot.
That makes 2 of us boney...and you don't need 2 good backs to win a SB...it's been done plenty of times before with only 1..and sometimes none.
The difference is he ended up in a perfect situation....and he is the exception...and it only happened once...not 3 times..lol
its not so much that you even need a good running back but its a hell of alot easier to win with Derrick Ward and Ryan Grant when you have a great line. All 4 teams left have terrific olines and SD would normally have Lorenzo Neal to go along with a good line. All 4 teams committed to running the ball and all 4 teams won. The teams that abandon the run are the ones that deserve to lose. Its hard to run the ball when you dont try to run the ball.
IMO, all championships are won and lost on the O and D line.
yeah pretty much. Brady has all day long to throw the ball. I remember watching the superbowl last year and Grossman got hammered for throwing a pick 6 but he was getting swallowed up all day long. Freeney and those dudes were bringing the heat. An O line is even more important when you are a quarterback thats only 6 feet tall.
If there is one unit that Im very impressed with this season, its the Giants o-line. I thought they would completely suck going into the season and they have really helped Eli alot by creating an excellent run game. That takes alot of pressure off of him and he usually has time to throw the ball,aside from missing Shockey, Eli really couldnt be in a better situation with what he has.
