First thought - The Colts are ill-equipped to slow down Larry Johnson.
Second thought: The Eagles are ill equipped to deal with retirement-bound Tiki Barber.
Third thought: The Cowboys are ill-equipped to deal with anything
Fourth thought, Eli is ill equipped to handle JJ's blitzes.

You can count on three things:
1)The Eagles will stack the box and dare Eli to beat them
2)They'll turn up the pressure on him--he's afraid of getting hit
3)They'll have over-the-top coverage on Plaxico

Baltimore vs. winner of Saints/Eagles
So, Saints then?
So, Saints then?
history says so...with grossman being unable to complete a pass that leaves the saints as the only quality team in the nfc...the eagles MO is to lose to the good teams in the playoffs after beating garbage like the giants
doesn't history say that the Saints have never won a playoff game?
i dont think what the saints did 10 20 or 30 years ago has anything to do with now
im talking history relevant to these current teams...meaing the reid era for the eagles
i think the saints current team having a lot of young players and a rookie coach in their first playoff game is an advantage for the eagles...not sure its a big enough one to win the game tho
The Saints beat the Rams in 2000 and have never hosted a 2nd round game until this year....
We know the media is going to be riding the "Saints winning is good healing the people of New Orleans" storyline.

the saints have 3 starting white linebackers
the saints have 3 starting white linebackers
thats why they have an offense that scores 40 pts a game
Plaxico gets away with at least one offensive pass interference call

Going into New Orleans is going to be rough. Just like the home opener was down there I suspect.
Did any of you notice this stroke of management genius from KC's GM?
Quote....Carl Peterson sent the clear message he didn't think the Chiefs would qualify for postseason play when he placed Jason Dunn and Kyle Turley on injured reserve before the Jacksonville game.
<snip>
The Chiefs won't have the services of one of the league's top run-blocking tight ends in a playoff game that likely will hinge on KC's ability to control the clock with Larry Johnson.
<snip>
He placed Dunn, Turley and Rich Scanlon on injured reserve so the Chiefs could elevate practice-squaders Casey Printers, Chris Hannon and William Kershaw to the 53-man roster. By placing Printers, Hannon and Kershaw on the final 53-man roster it protects the Chiefs from an opposing team poaching one of the three players from KC's practice squad this offseason.
Teams are justifiably paranoid about losing their practice-squad players. A couple of years ago, the Chiefs cut guard Ryan Lilja with the hopes they could place him on their practice squad. The Colts scooped up Lilja, and he's been a regular starter in Indy for two years.
The Chiefs said they placed Dunn on IR because doctors won't clear him to play now that they miraculously discovered he has a herniated disk in his back in week 16.
Dunn told me Monday that he's played with the injury for six weeks. When he entered Arrowhead Stadium on Monday for a brief team meeting, Dunn told me he hoped the Chiefs could reverse the decision. When Dunn left Arrowhead, he told me that assistant general manager Denny Thum told him that the Chiefs regretted placing Dunn on IR and they wouldn't have done it if they thought they were going to qualify for the playoffs.
Dunn was visibly disappointed.
"I could play four more games," said Dunn, who admitted he'll undergo surgery this offseason. "I've been playing with it."
Dunn's absence Saturday will place more pressure on Tony Gonzalez and Kris Wilson. Gonzalez will have more blocking responsibility.
Wilson will pull double duty between fullback and tight end. Linemen John Welbourn and Chris Bober will get some time at tight end.
Dunn's absence hamstrings the offensive coaching staff. Dunn has never been a big part of KC's passing game, but he's always been a threat in KC's pass offense. And blocking on the edge against outside linebackers and working up to safeties requires a combination of strength and athletic ability that few offensive linemen possess.

First thought - The Colts are ill-equipped to slow down Larry Johnson.
First quarter:
Larry Johnson: 5 rushing attempts, 8 yards.
Law intercepts, Tynes misses the FG
Ty Law returns an int off Manning to the 9 yard line, 2 LJ runs get them to the 1, and then on the third down a guard steps on Trent Green's foot during the snap and he goes down.
Tynes misses the 23 yard field goal. Pathetic offensive performance by the Chiefs so far.
4 straight drives with no first downs for the Chiefs. Tough to imagine them winning the game if things keep going like this.

yes, i would imagine if the cheifs dont get 1 first down the rest of the game, that it would be incredible tough for them to win 8)
Peyton is trying to choke this game away but the Chiefs are too inept to take advantage.
I have to say that I am not comfortable with my Suicide League pick right now.
What a pathetic game. Did not expect a defensive showdown, or is it just a pathetic offensive showdown? Either way this game sucks.

priest holmes just checked into the game....
The Chiefs should check Damon Huard into the game. The Chiefs can't do a farging thing on offense!
DE-CAF
DE-CAF
Please, no more you'd take Manning over McNabb stuff anymore. Is he a better QB in the regular season? Yes. But he will NEVER win a Superbowl EVER.
all he does is choke
Seriously, McNabb has way more rings than Manning.
Finally a TD (and a 2-pt conversion)
16-8 after 3 quarters
All I know is that both these teams suck...wow what a bad game.
Next Cowgirls and Seabags .....Dallas Sucks!

The Colts can't stop Larry Johnson.
If Garcia was on the Chiefs, they would of won. that is incredibly accurate

You mean the opening song? That's Pink singing. She's been doing it all year.
Sounds like nails on a chalkboard to me.
The music is from Joan Jett though.
And what the hell got into th Colts run D today?!?
Looks like the Chiefs didn't plaaaay to win the game. :(
SEA drives to take the lead 13-10.
Miles Austin then responds by returning the kickoff 90-some yards to make it 17-13 Dallas.
HOLY CRAP!!
What a crazy play in the Seattle game...
Glenn fumbles on his own 1 and it goes back to the end zone.
Peterson has a shot at it but is sliding out of bounds. Lofa Tatupu comes over while in the air and appears to throw the ball back into the end zone before it hit out of bounds. The Seahawks then recover the ball and the player appears to get both feet in to score a TD.
Obviously being reviewed and they haven't showed all angles yet. Whack ass play.
And this comes after Dallas' defense stopped SEA on 4th and goal. The score is 20-13 Dallas now.
Replays show that Taupu's foot was out of bounds before throwing it back in.
Called a safety.
20-15 now.
SEA is throwing the ball well though so them driving to take the lead with 6:30 to go isn't out of the question.
And it happens.
30yd TD pass to Jerramy Stevens.
This is after Horsecollar Roy absolutely whiffs on a backfield shot at Alexander on 3rd and 1.
Seattle going for two to make it 23-20.
Bad play. Conversion no good.
21-20 with 4:24 left to play
TO hets his 2nd catch of the game in the 4th quarter. This is with a safety covering him all night (babineaux) because half of SEA's secondary is out. Good job TO! :yay Bum.
Dallas now driving!!
This is a good game.
2:00 to go and DAL is on the SEA 10yd line. The Cowboys are going to win this. If they don't its a choke job.
Holy shtein.
:-D farg the cokeboys! :-D
TOMMY HUTTON FLASHBACKS!!!!! :-D :-D :-D :-D

CHOKE
I DO NOT WANT TO HEAR ANY BOOING OF TONY ROMO!!!
Now Alexander is hurt.
Haha, Ed. You beat me to it!
If Alexander is hurt, it really is stunning how many breaks the Bears have absolutely caught this year.
Dallas gets one play.
What so errily similar is that the MNF game was 21-20 too I do believe.
Nice game by golden boy Romo! :-D
HA! I soiled myself, I still can't stop laughing about it.
What makes it even better, it's exactly how they lost last week (Romo running a yard short at the end of regulation).
Plus watching the little farging baby cry on the sideline was icing on the cake.
TO: 2 catches, 26 yds, non-factor the entire game
His playoff record is now something like 3-7....
Hopefully Carrie Underwood is giving him the break-up phone call right now too.

I wonder if he drops her hand while holding it?
Romo just went from Carrie Underwood to White Trash Sally
Pro Bowl QB Romo was a freakin joke. Now its a travimockery freakin joke. He should tell the Pro Bowl to give his spot to someone that deserves it.
Take this for whats it's worth:
I know a guy who went to high school with Matt Walsh, who played basketball at Florida for 4 years. According to him, Rex Grossman is a big coke head. Now how many times do you hear something like this? But, when the Bears were on MNF a few weeks ago and someone was introducing the players, he called Grossman: Rex "8-Ball" Grossman. And there's only one thing 8 Ball can mean.
jersey number?
Next time he's in Philly, he can snort some nose candy with Burrell.
Anyone else rooting for the Jets to win? I like the way Mangini coaches and they Jets are actually making it interesting.
Anything to wipe that stupid smirk off of Brady's face.
I want the Jets to win. I want Mangina to punch Belichick in the face afterwards too.
Too bad they blew it right there.
And what the hell is up with Jabar Gaffney? He's actually having a pretty damn good game.
Is anyone NOT rooting for the Jets to win? ???
30-16 now w/ 5min
NE is going to win
I was more looking to spark conversation and see if anyone was still on the board.
That sucks. That turnover killed the Jets. They looked pretty good up until that point.
And their D could not get off the field. Reminded me of the way the Eagles played D earlier this season.

Gaffney - 8 catches, 104 yards
37-16 final. New England @ San Diego next Sunday will be a good game...
Go LT.
9-3 Colts with 3:00 before the half.
Manning has a pick and should have two. McNair threw a pick on the 1yd line and the Colts took it and drove for a FG. Vinatieri just hit a 51yd.
I find myself rooting for the Colts because I want all of these New England fargs that I live around to eat shtein when Manning wins a Superbowl...
Of course on the other hand, in the unlikely event that the Eagles make it to the superbowl the Colts are the last team I'd want them to face. I'm so torn.
I want Peyton to lose. I hate that dude. Hate the entire retarded looking family.
Its 12-6 with about 10mins to go. McNair has played like shtein and just threw another pick as they were driving. Both of his picks were thrown in Indy territory.

Bart Scott is a stud too.
If you would have told me that the Ravens held the Mannings to 12 points, I'd have said that the Ravens had won fairly easily.
Indy is going to win this. Barring a Cowboyslike choke job.
Good news is that the winner of the SD-NE game can thump the Colts.
I have to say that I'd much rather have Manning win than Ray Lewis.
Colts doing a great job of running out the clock. The Ravens god-defense is failing to get the ball back.

Not trying to denigrate the defense, just giving kudos to the Colts offense for sustaining a clock-eating drive to seal a close game.
:boom That farging game is over
Vinatieri nails his 5th.
15-6
And it's all over but the crying for Billick The Brain. I hope he gets fired. Insufferable prick that he is.
The Colts win is official. Hopefully they are the first of two road teams to win today.
The Colts currently look like the favorite to win the SB. There D has finally stepped up this season and if it continues they will be very tough to beat.
San DIego is still the better team... too bad they're coached by Schottenheimer.
First playoff game since 1979 with 0 TDs.
By the way, that's two straight games where Manning played HORRIBLY and they still won. That's scary.

14-7 Bears
URRLAKERZ just had a nice deflection in pass coverage. It would be nice to have playmaking LBs.... :-\
Grossman fumble (forced by Julian Peterson) + Alexander TD run = 14-14
Hasselbeck is taking an ass-beating from the Bears. He took a shot in the back from one of the Bears defenders about 5 seconds after he released the ball and the refs somehow "missed" it.
Shocking.
4th and 1 inside the 5 yd line. They go for it and run it....and its another Jones TD
21-14
cant believe yous are watching football right now
i will do no espn until next weekend and no football until training camp
I'm not really watching it intently. It's on in the background and I'm looking up at it from time to time. I actually watched "The DaVinci Code" this morning and missed the first few minutes of the game because of it.
That movie was confusing yet still as predictable as hell.

I guess I'm rooting for San Diego now that the Eagles are out. I don't want New Orleans and their fraudulent ass-hat fans to win a damn thing. Don't want freak boy Manning to win, I'd be alright if Chicago won it all but I absolutely don't want New England anywhere near another Lombardi Trophy. Their fans are insufferable as it is because they really don't give a shtein about Super Bowl wins. They would trade all three for another Red Sox World Series win and any fans favoring baseball over football don't deserve anything but a collective agonizing death.

Regardless, whichever team wins next Sunday is going to get gang-raped in the Super Bowl. Indy, New England & San Diego would make mince meat out of either NFC team.
San Diego is playing stupid again
New England channeling Andy Reid's spirit by passing 40 + times and running less than 20 times.
Gaffney is having himself another good game. It just keeps getting better.
I hate the Patriots. Reid's surrender yesterday makes me hate them just a little bit more.
Either Peyton Manning or Tom Brady will be in the Super Bowl. :puke
Go NFC!
I just want to know what Marty did to earn this curse.
A fumble off an interception? Not getting the time out?
Poor guy can't catch a break.
Martyball does it again.
:-D
Does he get fired this time? No more excuses for him. A 14-2 team had less playoff wins than we did this year....
GET MARTY!
This one wasn't his fault. His team shtein the bed. Wow, I farging hate New England.
He is just cursed. There is no way around it.
Indy is the first team since the 1987 taterskins to host a conference championship after winning a road divisional...
.....and
Ed is all about the facts. Shut it.
thats fine...just didnt know where he was going with it thats all
keep dropping knowledge eddy
With 8 seconds left, why didn't the Chargers try to get a few more yards on a pass to the sidelines before kicking the FG?
I can't believe they did nothing and just kicked it. Then again I can, go Marty.
I don't know who was calling the plays on the second-to-last drive for the Bolts but he should definitely be fired.
1st play: Tomlinson run for six. 2nd & 4.
2nd play: Incomplete pass
3rd play: Incomplete pass
4th play: Punt.
Tomlinson is the best player in the NFL, yet rather than giving him a chance to get rolling and knock some time off the clock, they rely on Philip Rivers' arm in that situation.
Puzzling isn't the word for it. STUPID is. If I was a Chargers fan, I'd be screaming for Marty's ass right now. Another colossal playoff meltdown for that poor bastich.

because 8 seconds is way too risky. If the receiver catches it inbounds and for some odd reason cant get out of bounds, see ya bye game over

I'm sure ESPN will mention it too, but since it was asked elsewhere, I thought someone here would care about trivial crap like that.... :)
In fact, here's more "who the F cares?!" trivia, this time from ESPN:
This is the Bears' fourth NFC Championship appearance in the Super Bowl era, and in the previous three, the winner of that game also won the Super Bowl.
1984-85 at San Francisco (49ers won)
1985-86 vs LA Rams (Bears won)
1988-89 vs San Francisco (49ers won)
Let's trade head coaches with the Chargers for a few years.
So, will Manning choke against the Pats or wait until the Super Bowl?
I'm hoping he waits until the Super Bowl. As much as I hate the Colts, the thought of Brady winning another Super Bowl fills me with great disgust. farg the fans in that baseball city, they already got 3 rings in 4 years.

He is just cursed. There is no way around it.
Every time I hear someone say that a team is cursed, my ass begins to twitch. It's farging idiotic.
The Chargers aren't cursed. Marty is. I'm sorry. Maybe you're the one who put the hex on him. What did he ever do?
LT is pissed
Quote[Brady] left behind some frustrated Chargers, including Tomlinson, who went after an unidentified Patriots player when the game ended. Tomlinson ran for 123 yards and two scores, and caught two passes for 64 yards.
Tomlinson said he was upset that some Patriots were dancing on the Chargers logo at midfield after they had silenced the record crowd of 68,810 at Qualcomm Stadium and wrecked the Chargers' season, which included an NFL-best 14-2 record and 8-0 home mark in the regular season.
"I would never react in that way. I was very upset," Tomlinson said. "When you go to the middle of our field and start doing the dance Shawne Merriman is known for, that is disrespectful. They showed no class and maybe that comes from the head coach."

they mock the Eagles when they beat us in the super bowl a couple of years ago, too. when they where flappin their arms like TO was doing all year.
They were heavily favored but TO the media whore got all the attention, so they were mad because everyone wasn't kissing their two other rings.
i was furious during the Super Bowl when they did that but looking back on it they were mocking knuckle head. they didn't even waste their time on mocking freddie.
I hope the Colts kick their ass.
Go Bears.
i hate peyton manning but i hate the patriots even more...seeing those 2 teams win made the eagles' loss hurt a little less since they would've gotten b-slapped against either team in the super bowl if they made it.
in the nfc, i don't really care...if it wasn't for all the reggie bush hype, i might pull for the saints. as it stands, i don't care who wins.
AFC I'd like to see New England do it again. NFC, Chicago.
But honestly, I may not watch any more football this year. Time to cut the cable again.
Go bears and colts, the other two can kiss it.

You don't need cable to watch the playoffs
Cable or rabbit ears, one of the two. Neither of which I'll have in a couple weeks, tops.
The playoffs are dead to me. The Chargers were my last hope.
Just goes to show tht having a good coach and meh players goes a long way. I hope the team plane crashes. I hate the Patriots
Here are my horribly uneducated guesses for today's games:
Here's my guesses:
Patriots vs. Colts
I would probably be divorced if I picked against the Patriots. The good news for the Colts is that their run defense decided to show up for the playoffs. The bad news is the Peyton Manning still hasn't - the Colts have not won because of Manning, but because the defense has been spectuacular. If it's a close game at the end, the opposing quaterback is not Steve McNair or Trent Green, but Tom Brady.
Patriots 24, Colts 21
Saints vs. Bears
Chicago hasn't been a good team since losing their first game. The defense has been spotty, and the offense under Grossman has been inconsistent at best. The Saints, on the other hand, are the most complete team in the NFC. Their defense, while not spectacular, is solid, and held Brian Westbrook at bay other than the one long TD run last week. The offense is explosive, and can beat a team with both the run and the pass. I believe the Saints will be marching into the Super Bowl.
Saints 27, Bears 17
Michael Lewis' fumble looked like a non-fumble to me.
Quote from: Father Demon on January 21, 2007, 03:47:34 PM
Michael Lewis' fumble looked like a non-fumble to me.
I think that if they called it down, that call would have stood as well. It bobbled just enough to make it not clear enough to overturn a call that could get him killed in Chicago. >:D
After a shaky first half, it looks like Sean Payton has solved the Bears.
Cundiff misses the FG that would've given the Saints the lead
wow...intentional grounding by Brees while in the endzone....18-14
Saints aren't doing quite as well without all that "Dome" cooking.
Dome cooking... get it?
Yep. Looks like the Saints are farged now.
Of course, they're also playing an actual defense that knows how to stop the run.
I'd say that's ballgame.
suck on that N.O. cinderella just got farged
Dome teams now 0-10 in outdoor conference championships since 1970...
Saw this coming all week. The Bears are just a better team and were the #1 seed for the reason. The fact of the matter is the Saints simply aren't that good. The only reason they beat the Eagles is because the Eagles weren't that good either. The Eagles took advantage of a weak NFC. The Saints sorta got exposed today against a real defense. It just makes you wonder how far the Eagles would've got this year if we actually had a defense.
oh and HFA is insanely important. I remember after we lost 3 straight NFCCG games, some people actually thought we might be better off on the road.
Thank god. No more farging hurricane bullshtein. Back to the bayou, bitches.
Avoid 2 weeks of non stop "Saints are helping the spirits of New Orleans" puff stories, and instead get 2 weeks of "Is Rex Grossman good enough?" talk!
Now I just need to see Peyton lose again.
Archie can cry two times today. F the Manning family.

Same here. And it was even worse after losing to them. I couldn't watch shtein this week.
Go Pats.
Well, there will be either idolizing brady/bellicheck or manning. And don't forget if Dungy wins, it's a black-black head coach matchup. Race, race, race, bla bla bla
The idolizing of cut-off sweatshirt dude and Mr. Gisele Bundchen is already in full force. No stopping that run-a-way train. I'd prefer that to the Manning family getting more time in the light.
Toss up 3 more picks this week, meathead.

No. But the defense is. We'll see which one wins out.
QuoteTHE BEARS ARE NO. 1
Eight days after FOX showed a replay of a crowd reaction including a female Saints fans with a shirt that proclaimed "F--K DA EAGLES" (without the dashes), FOX's obsession with shots of the crowd has resulted in another image that on one hand we find troubling, but on the other hand funny as sh-t.
Thanks to the reader who sent us an image of the screen, which contained this happy chap as FOX cameras panned the stands in the third quarter.

I hate both teams but I'd rather see the Colts win this one. F the Patriots...
Ditto. I had Tom Brady more than anything. He's such a smug bastich.
I want to see Viniterari knock the Pats out of the Super Bowl. Talk about a guy that gets no credit. Even though Brady played well, Vinny won 2 out of their 3 Super Bowls, and arguably beat the Eagles by making a FG in the Super Bowl which provided the separation they needed to win the game.
Good job onthat fumble, Indy. :-D
7-0 Pats.
F U Peyton.
Damn Patriots magic again...
Maroney fumbles it inside the 5, ball goes into the endzone, recovered by Mankins for a TD...
Screwing up to their own advantage seems to be The Patriot Way this PO season. ^-^
14-3 Pats.
Yeah well, Peyton. Stick to commercials.
Ahahahhaha!
Asante Samuel pick six on Peyton.
21-3 Pats
HAHAHAHA! Petyon blows balls in the Playoffs.
The Pats are going to win this one walking away.
unf'ingbelievable
looks like another Bears/Patriots matchup. F
What a load of crap. I hate New England.
Looks like we are headed toward a Super Bowl XX rematch. Hopefully with the same results.
Well, my wife's happy. :-\
Gotta say, it's funny that the Colts fans are booing the Colts. I thought only Eagles fans did classless things like that. :-D
2 sacks and a delay of game the next possession. Haha.
Peyton Manning = No Leadership.
The close ups of his face are priceless. The guy wants no part in leading his team to victory. He seems lost, doesn't take control of games, shows no fire or command of the huddle. No wonder the team doesn't respond.
I'd argue that Garcia is a better leader than Manning is/was. Both Sheli and Peyton have this confused/why me?/why do you expect me to do something? look on their faces at crucial times.

Peyton's quote post-game last week;
Quote"It seems like for so long it's been 'Colts win', but then 'Peyton Manning loses. Either give me all the credit when we win or give the team the blame when we lose. The way it should be is Colts win or Colts lose. That's the way I always thought it was."
Are you kidding me? Vinny Testaverde is doing Mastercard commercials? :-D

Florida WRs have been notorious in the NFL for sucking, but the Pats have 2 which have come up huge for them in the playoffs. Weird.
I hate the Patriots.
So is the Patriots defense just not trying this half?

eh, the Colts will still lose. Tom Brady will drop back all the way to the end zone ala Tecmo Super Bowl, hurl it then entire length of the field, and then Jabar Gaffney will tap it to Reche Caldwell for the win.
I just have a feeling the Colts will screw this up royally, and then Manning will go into his "everyone sucks expect for me" rant.
The Colts went three and out on three Colts mistakes, giving the Pats their first "defensive stop" of the half.

And they farg up on the punt too, with a facemask.
Manning's thumb is injured.
if manning wins this game he becomes a better qb than mcnabb
Colts ST is brutal this game.
Time for Manning to throw a pick.
There was the patented Manning "I'm disgusted at my teammates because I made a candy-ass throw" look. What a clown.
manning is so good its ridiculous
I think Reggie Wayne's heart just stopped
TOUCHDOWN
Addai up the middle
38-34 Colts, 1:00 left
Watch: the Colts will still find a way to lose. :-D
Pats into Indy territory
:24 left, 1 timeout
PICKED OFF BY MARLIN JACKSON!!!
Colts win, Colts v. Bears in Super Bowl XLI.
Go Bears!
One of the great AFC Championships of all time, no doubt.
good for manning
he deserves it
two brothers in the sb too...hopefully this will awaken the old boy network
eh, better than Brady.
The overall key to the game was the Colts establishing a running game. Manning still has one more game to go, but even if we wins a Superbowl he still isn't on Brady's level, but enough of the Captain Obvious. The two plays that cost the Pats the game: Offense PI on Troy Brown and the roughing the passer the Pats got on Manning late. Those killed the Pats.
Go Bears.
Rex Grossman winning the superbowl is break the standards of quarterbacking. Let's do it.
Maybe. But "Big Ben" won it last year with a 17 QB Rating.
If Manning loses the Super Bowl I'll laugh. I'm sure the Colts will be favored, but I don't think it will be a cakewalk for Manning to play against that Bears D especially factoring in the magnitude of the game.
Colts are 6.5 point favorites. I'm all over the Bears right now with that.
Quote from: QB Eagles on January 21, 2007, 10:18:29 PM

Indeed.
I was calling for a mercy kill at the half. Glad I didn't turn it off.
Now that's entertainment.
I was only semi-conscious at the end of the game due to cold medicine, so I didn't talk to my wife until this morning, even though I knew the Colts had won.
Her response: "I wanted the Patriots to win, of course, but I'm happy for Manning to finally get into the Super Bowl."
Even at halftime, she was mentioning about hoping that the Colts would score to at least make a game of it.
If that had been the Eagles choking a big halftime lead in the NFCCG, we'd be needing a new television. Or a new remote, at least.
Of course, maybe I'd be more generous if it was the Eagles winning three Super Bowls in the last five years. But I doubt it.
rjs is going to enjoy the day in Boston.
The biggest comeback win in conference championship history.
Against the pompous Belichick and the pretty boy anus-chinned Brady.
By Peyton Manning.
This is a good day indeed.

But the Eagles won 5 divisions in the last 6 years. You have no reason to complain.
Gold. Standard.
Pointing & laughing at Saints 'fans.'
:-D :yay
You should have heard the bandwagoners at the bar yesterday. Every time Chicago scored my buddy put on Dixieland jazz over the PA system.
They were not amused.
BTW: Never seen one Saints fan in 15 years of watching football at this place until yesterday. ::)
I've only met a handful of people who I would consider die hard Saints fans. Coincidentally they were all from NO. Go figure.
One of my boys wears an autographed Billy Joe Tolliver jersey every freakin Sunday during football season. Yeah, there's no doubting his loyalty.
I am really glad the Saints got eliminated. I was so sick of all the media hype.

Rhea this morning:
Could you imagine if it had been a Saints/Colts Super Bowl where it'd be stories every hour about Peyton Manning helping Katrina victims? :puke
Yea, it sucks when they talk about NFL players who do good stuff instead of getting arrested and stuff.
I hate that.
^-^
No, but I think everyone got their fill of Katrina stories throughout the playoffs. Having 2 solid weeks of it would have been tremendous overkill -- more so than it already was.
