Keep the thread humming, help yourself to the fridge, and try not to spill anything on the floor (glares at hole_n_one)
I respect some of the players, but absolutely despise the Eagles fans (except for Freepers fans, nobody is perfect)
I hope this makes four years in a row that they CHOKE, CHOKE, CHOKE, CHOKE and are denied, so the fans go home and beat each other up, just like the thugs most of them are.
Andy Ried made a serious mistake letting the "stars" sit for so long.
After watching the Falcons last night, it will take a good team to beat them. Or the Rams just really suck.
Bump to that. I cant stand Moss but would love to see the Eagles lose.
I can't help but laugh at the Jets for having Doug Brien as their kicker. The Vikings had him as their kicker 3 years ago, and I'll always remember going to the game where he missed a bleeping extra point and a field goal, which allowed the other team to eventually win. As we're driving home and listening to the postgame show (which all fans of this game should tune in to at www.kfan.com after today's game), Coach Tice calls in and tells the hosts that he's releasing Brien the next day! I think he did stay on for kick offs, but having the head coach call into a talk show after a game is classic.
"Jets should have won that friggin' game. I am sick to my stomach."
DITTO!
Today is tomorrow's yesterday and yesterday's tomorrow, got it? ;-)
Does this mean the Jets get a do-over? ; )
To beat the Falcons, the opposing D only has to shut down Vick.
How do you miss two easy feild goal's? time for a new kicker.
Anyway, it was fun reading the NY Post this morning. They are brutal on the Jets.
I, too am a depressed Cheezhead in denial. However, I think Michael Vick and the Falcons are going to be very hard to beat. He is great. This is what it is all about - THE PLAYOFFS!
To beat the Falcons, the opposing O only has to score more points.
I don't have any favorites here, but I do hope Randy Moss gets his bell rung a few times. I don'r really dislike the Vikings, only Moss.
Latest weather for Colts fans - snow storm is building up. Should be snowy and 26 in Foxboro during most of the game. Conditions will get worse as snowfall increases, temps drop and winds increase as the game goes along.
I enjoyed that game more than the actual SB.
I would love to see Peyton Manning get it, but alas, am an old Pats fan- since the days when they were the Boston Patriots...so am wanting to see the Pats take it.
Oh- and by the way- the RED SOX RULE:)
You need to burn incense to the Football Gods so that you never ever miss such a game again.
Me: No for the Steelers. Yes for the Falcons.
Steelers 20, Jets 17. Steelers did not cover.
Falcons 47, Rams 17. Falcons covered big time. Two for two ain't bad.
Now for today's games. Philly is giving 8 to the Vikes. Philadelphia will cover. The Vikings secondary is sub-par and very exploitable for McNabb, even without Owens.
The Patriots are 1.5 point favorites. Give it to the Pats. Outdoor conditions will slow down the Colts high-powered offense. The Patriots running game will also keep Manning on the sidelines. In this post I predicted a Pats victory by the score of 23-17.
Let the games begin!
The rest of the country isn't going to watch an all-PA Super Bowl, at not in as large a number as previous Super Bowls.
I hope Pittsburg makes it, but I suspect the New England - Indianapolis winner will eliminate them. As far as the Eagles, they should be renamed the Beagles.
