Just as long as it is the Texans and the Lions in the Superbowl. The other teams really should do their best to make that happen.
Well since my Jaguars again had a losing season...........miss the playoff teams of the 1996-2000-ish era.
Hope this postseason is good!

It’s nice to be a Niner fan again. I can just sit back and enjoy this weekend.
Toxins overwhelm the Bengals even without their starting QB, and claim their first playoff victory. Fine. Love Ya, Blue.
Now, I know the ascending Loins have girded themselves for a shootout vs the Saints, but i don’t think that’s such a good strategy on the road. It would be better to control the TOP a bit and keep Brees on the bench AMAP; maybe go with a short passing game since ground chuck isn’t their strength. Ultimately I will take NO’s pinballish scoring prowess, gritty defense, and considerable playoff experience in this one, though I think it will be highly entertaining. I see Lance Moore is out but how many WRs does NO have? Will they even notice his absence? Look for Sean Payton to try to get in the rather large, twisted head of a boy named Suh—maybe get him tossed by halftime. Payton is wily like that; otherwise he can wreak some havoc up the middle on Brees, disrupt his timing and make things very interesting. Often a turnover at a critical juncture of the game can tilt the outcome in favor of the beneficiary. And I think that’s the upstart Loins best chance to secure a victory here.
Go Cow..err, nevermind.
More than likely the Niners game will be against New Orleans.- Tom
Gakk! I think Baltimore, Pittsburg, San Francisco and Green Bay will have a little to say about that. Texas and Detroit will be basking in Cancun come Super Sunday.

Feels kind of retro does it? :)

GO ALL RED STATE TEAMS!!!
Super Bowl:
Denver, Houston, or Cincy
VERSUS
Atlanta or New Orleans
* The Bengals last post season win was twenty years ago over the HOUSTON Oilers.
* The Bengals have never won a post season game on the road.
* The Lions last post season win was twenty years ago over the Dallas Cowboys.
* The Lions last road post season win was in 1957.
Go Lions! Pull off the upset.
I’m wondering if he got an extra warning from the league about doing something “inappropriate” tonight like he did on Thanksgiving.
So you’re picking CIN and NO today?
Last game, Suh, Delmas, Houston and Durant were not playing.
Sometimes being a true champion means letting the underdogs in.
Thanks for the reminder!
Which would be a pretty good match up.
