Are you ready for some Football?!? (NFL)

[DaveMage]

The Eagles should be very proud of themselves the way they stayed in the hunt after losing Kearse and McNabb.

The Saints, though, are playing excellent football. I think they'll beat either Chicago or Seattle (although if the weather gets too poor and they have to travel to Chicago, well, all bets are off).

Yup. Saints/Eagles was the actual NFC championship game (I mean, sure, they've got to beat the Bears/Seahawks non-loser, but it won't matter much). Chargers/Pats is the actual AFC championship game (because Indy's defense might have massively stepped up in the last two weeks, but unless they keep it up and Peyton gets his mojo back, they aren't going to beat the Chargers or Pats). And the actual Super Bowl, as no one from the junior varsity, err, NFC has much of a shot against the Chargers, Pats, or Colts (well, the Eagles, with a healthy McNabb and Kearse, are right up there with them, but that's a hypothetical exercise).

Bears first drive looked good!!

 

[DaveMage]

Bears/Seahawks - great game!

So it's New Orleans and Chicago in the NFC championship game.

Should be a fun one to watch....

 

[Crothian]

Go Saints!! THough it might be a tough game for them in the north.

That Bears/Seahawks game was great, but I'm a little disappointed the Saints don't play in the dome next week. It think they can win (but they'll play better they did than last night) and make it to the Super Bowl, though I doubt they'll beat the AFC champs. Still, it's an annus mirabilis for the Saints and anything can happen. Heck, the Saints making it to the Super Bowl is more than I could have hoped for.

The AFC game is pretty good. Chargers seem to have the advantages but the Pats just aren't letting them.

And the Curse of Marty continues....

Well, the Pats did play nearly a perfect game. Took advantage of their breaks and got it done. Dang.

Manning gets a chance to play the Pats at home for a title shot. That should be fun.

 

[Crothian]

Ya, it will make for a more interesting game to talk about since they have their history. And the Colts have to bbe happy to get the home game.
