Re: NFL talk
I forget about how bad the Dolphins were last year, but what about the Falcons? Who saw that coming? Who would've thought the NFC South would become such a tough division (and with the Saints at the bottom)?

Re: NFL talk
Yeah, the Falcons pretty much fell apart during the offseason, as I recall ESPN ranked them dead last in the power rankings in the preseason. Let's face it rookie QB's usually just don't work out, but Matt Ryan is clearly rookie of the year and one of the better QBs in the league. Speaking of the Saints - can you believe the line on yesterday's Saints-Lions game was a touchdown? SEVEN POINTS? The Saints are the team that would absolutely destroy a bad defense, and I really regret not putting my entire account on them as I was very close to doing.

And I think that is much better than expecting them to win and being disappointed. Every win is an unexpected treat and guilty pleasure. All that game meant is at least one more weekend of relevant football for the Bears. I think this situation is typical of defensive-minded teams, like the Ravens. The defense will keep them in the game and allow them to win, but the offense will never win the game outright. Yeah, the Packers deserved to win that game, and they certainly won the previous meeting. But in the most prolific rivalry in all of football ever (college and pro), the only thing that matters is the win. That, and not already being eliminated from the playoffs... |

Re: NFL talk
What a heartwarming scene to see the Cowboys humiliated so badly at the hands of the surprisingly-reborn Eagles! Dallas has swaggered and infought all season, so i don't mind at all that they're dropped a peg and out of the playoffs.
Too bad about the Patriots - Cassell has played admirably in place of Brady, and it really was down to the wire as to who'd get in from the East. But again, it's nice to see some new blood in the playoffs, in this case, Miami. AFC: Though i'd love to see the Steelers get back to the SB, the offense hasn't been firing on all cylinders, and the likes of the Ravens, Titans, and Colts seem more balanced and dominant. Especially the Colts, who also turned it around in the second half of the season. NFC: Panthers and Giants probably still the teams to beat, and i'd say the Panthers are the stronger team (Giants have folded in recent weeks). But you know, with the Championship to defend and how Eli Manning has come on as a big star QB, i gotta think it's gonna be the Brothers Manning in the Superbowl, Colts vs. Giants.

Re: NFL talk
I can't believe my Eagles made the playoffs. When the earlier results came in and we had our opening, I was sure they'd find a way to blow it all and let the Cowboys laugh their way into the playoffs. As luck would have it, though, the Cowboys imploded like I've never seen a team implode before. I was yelling and screaming "MOAR POINTZ!" at the TV as a fumble was scooped up and the Eagles would score. First, Pacman right before the half gave us a field goal. Then Romo. Then Barber. Then Romo again. Hell, I boo'd David Akers when he missed a field goal cuz I had nothing to boo about till then.

Re: NFL talk
This has been one of the most enjoyable seasons to watch as a Dolphin fan. Its cliche to say that I'm happy we just made it to the Playoffs but who cares! Do I think the Fins will beat the Ravens? Hrmm, maybe. I think its 50/50 for that game even in Miami. After that all bets are off. Pittsburgh looks tough!
