First we saw the
team that lost last year's Super Bowl get knocked out of the playoffs,
then we saw the team that won last year's Super Bowl get knocked out!
Now we are looking at a possible rematch of Super Bowl XLII! (You know
that NE and their fans would like nothing more than an opportunity to
beat the team that spoiled their run at a perfect season!) What a wild
ride this post season has been!
To perfectly honest,
I was not that impressed with some of the football I saw played last
week! NO and GB turning the ball over the way they did coupled with
Hou, Bal and Den all three playing some really bad series (especially
Den and GB) leaves SF, NE and NYG looking really good - at first
glance! Now don't read into this as being some sort of "since my
team is gone all the rest aren't as good as they seem" statement
made my an upset Packer's Owner! I'm sad my team lost, but I think
they would have lost even if they hadn't turned the ball over like
they did! Sunday night showed me that the Giants are peaking at the
right time and they deserved that win!
What I saw last
weekend throughout all 4 games were bad plays, dumb mistakes and poor
coaching at the time of year when you are expected to be at the top of
your game! I think the 4 teams that won last weekend all deserve
to have a shot at the Super Bowl, but this coming weekend will show us
if last week's wins were truly earned or just nicely wrapped presents
handed out by teams that beat themselves!
I wonder which Bal
team will show up against NE. Will NYG be able to play the same tight
game that they played against GB? Is NE the best team left or is it
SF, who earned an extra home game by taking down Brees and the Saints?
A Super Bowl XLII rematch would be a fun game to watch, but we can't
blow off Bal and SF just yet!! There are still two more games to play
before we look at Super Bowl XLVI and they are both this Sunday, so
now's the time to tell us all who you think is going to this year's
Super Bowl...
Pick Well!!
(I'm leaving this
stuff up for now - enjoy!)

So What Do You Think?
Poll by Todd Whitaker
He's good but can't come close to keeping that pace -> Golden Tate -> Atari Champ -> I've played them and I like them -> Tim Tebow -> 3 -> Maybe not worth the time or money to upgrade -> Wsh -> 2-6 or 3-5 -> Earl Campbell -> Tonawanda Kardex -> one late pity win -> Require weeks 15, 16 and 17 to be divisional games -> NFC East -> Phi
OK, so apparently Phi has gone through it's ups and downs this year...from the dream team, to losing a lot and getting mocked, and back to a point at which the majority of us think they'll still win the division and make the playoffs...the problem is, they have already been eliminated. So do we really know as much as we think we do?
Or are we a bunch of amateur guessers? Well the chain ends there, so what about our other answers through the year...We said Brady
couldn't keep the pace, but he is only a few yards behind Brees for the all time passing record. Golden Tate had a better year than his rookie year, Atari Champ IS a cool name, video games are cool too. Tebow was just voted the #1 celebrity to have as a neighbor, he actually ended up quite average, but may make the playoffs. The NFL will probably end up in 3D soon. Wsh will actually be 2-6 or 3-5 for the second half. Earl Campbell was great and so were the Kardex. Ind got more
than a late pity win, late weeks are heavily divisional. The NFC East is a good race into the last week, and we already covered that whole Phi fiasco. So we were spot on with some of our answers and totally wrong on others, but its been another fun year of polls and we'll start all over again next year with a new chain - good luck the rest of the year and thanks for
participating!
