2007 NFL Playoffs

[Mark86]

Out of the 4 remaining teams, which one are you rooting for? So far, there have been many interesting games over the past two weeks. I was extremely surprised that the Colts could not beat the Chargers. I am a big New York Giants fan so this is an amazing season. First they beat TB and now the Cowboys, who the #1 team in the NFC. I am a very happy Giants fan tonight. Bring on Green Bay!!! The 2nd best thing for me would be to see the Patriots lose.

GREEN BAY! GREEN BAY! GREEN BAY!:dancin:

I'm not a fan of any of them...and I really want the patriots to lose, but to see them run the season they did was amazing...nice win by green bay yesterday, they SMASHED seattle

GB vs NE for the Super Bowl.

I've been at a real dilema because I didn't like any of the NFC teams remaining last weekend. I was raised to root against Green Bay (but have their back now by default) and Dallas (my dad still talks about the "botched" Drew Pearson hail mary catch), and I have always disliked the Giants and Seahawks for no apparent reason (well, 41-donut to the Giants in 2001 NFC championship game was a stinger). At any rate I HATE the Cowboys and am glad they lost in futile fashion. I hope to see something like Packers and Chargers in the SB, but since that won't happen we'll all be subjected to two weeks of media mayhem centered around Favre and Brady. Boy, that will be fun...

The Sunday games were really good, but my Wife really liked the snow up in Green Bay on Saturday.

I liked the Giants winning, playing in Green Bay next week will be fun and is true football.

I would like to see Favre go out as a leader. Even if Green Bay loses, I want him to do good.

Now that he lost, I am hoping I won't see any more Peyton Manning commercials.

New England looks tough to beat, so it would be nice to see them lose. Cheaters should not prosper, so I would like to see the Giants or Green Bay win in the super bowl.

Being from Wisconsin ...........GO PACK GO !!! The snow last week was great game to watch ....goodbye Mike Holmgren and Seattle.!!

Glad Cowgirls are out , so now we have to contend with the Giants , which should be a good old freezin arse game. It was great to see the giants pull it out.

New England I would like to see loose next week , but doubt that will happen.

This weekend will be exciting games.

I have a few Favre things , like 2 signed jerseys , 1 signed football , and 1 signed Riddle helmet ( full size ) .

Not sure who i want to win, but i would like to see NE lose. If San Diego gets all their starters healthy, then i do not think that they will be pushovers for NE. SD has 3 very good cornerbacks to cover 3 star WRs from NE. One of SD's CB is a star in the making...Antonio Cromatie...i am a fan of him. He's big enough (6'2" 208 lbs, with over 40in vertical) and fast (4.3 at least) enough to hang with Moss. I think that he has the potential to be an even better shutdown corner than Champ Bailey (i am a Denver Broncos fan)...and maybe on par with Deion Sanders down the road. Their defense is much stronger now than there were when NE played them early in the season. The only problem is that their offense may not score much against NE's stout defense.

I am a lifelong Pats fan. Anything but a Championship this year will be a disappointment. I just cant see why you want to see the Pats lose when they are on the verge of one of the greatest accomplishments in sports history.

Spy gate will add an asterisk, but come on, they were just the ones who got caught, ratted out by the (pathetic) Jets who have been in a pissin' contest w/the pats since they let Parcells shop for the groceries! Every team in the NFL pushes the rules to the limit and if you read the facts there was no in-game competitive advantage gained from what they did.

 

[peter78]

It probably doesn't help New England for them to run up the score. When it is 40 to 0 in the 4th quarter, don't rub it in.

Yes, it would be a great accomplishment for them to win and they look simply outstanding last week.

But, I guess a lot of us are for the underdog.

Hey, all I want to see is the Falcon tickets drop in price next year. I usually go to a few games each year and I didn't go for some reason last year.:

 

[GatorGreg]

I'm just glad the Colts lost. I can't stand Peyton Manning for some reason. Since my wife claims she's related to Brett Favre I guess I'd like to see him win - would be great to see him go out on top. But realistically I think theycan already start inscribing the Patriots names on the trophy.

 

[Mark86]

Here is my honest take on the Patriots vs Chargers game: SD has a chance to keep it close, but I don't think they have enough to win (although I didn't think they had enough to beat the Colts). Even though SD played very well against the Colts, there were many situations in which the Colts shot themselves in the foot. The Pats don't do that. SD has a very strong defense and I think they can contain Moss, but what about Welker, Stallworth, Marroney, etc? When you look back at the stats when Moss was shut down, there was always one receiver who was able to substitute and kill the opponent. I feel the only way to beat the Pats is to rush Brady. When he has time to look around and throw, he is going to find a receiver. On the other hand, is Rivers experienced enough to step up and pick apart the Pats defense? The Pats seem to shut down the best running games, so LT will have a challenge if he even plays.

Packers vs. Giants- I am a Giants fan so I think they will win! My only fear is Eli+cold+snow- what happens????? Other than that, I am confident.

My prediction for the Super Bowl: Patriots and Giants

Rook, I am originally from New York so I was born to root against any team associated with Boston!

Ah, a rematch! If the G-men get to the Superbowl, they will have momentum and shown that they can win in a number of different ways. If Strahan and Umenyiora can pressure they way we know they can it will be another teriffic match.

Exactly. The Patriots caught the Jets cheating last year in the playoffs (Mangini had an unauthorized camera in the endzone during the Jets-Pats game in NE) but unlike the Jets who went to the NFL the Patriots just made them shut the camera off. Mangini was waiting all offseason for his oppurtunity.

Should be some decent games. GO PATS!:cheers:

 

[nated05]

Im rooting for GB but I doubt they have a chance should they meet NE in the SB. I would love to see NE loose, but I doubt it will happen I dont think SD has a chance.

That game in GB last weekend was fun as hell to watch, should be good on Sunday as well with a high in the 0's.

I thought 3 of the 4 games last weekend had the potential to be exciting in the end, but then they just fizzled.

I thought there might be cheating going on, you see the coaches talking with a piece of paper over their mouth, but the first time I heard about it was Spy Gate. I didn't know others were caught, I guess they weren't caught, but kind of caught.

I also have heard of Dog Fights, but never really thought that much about it, thinking it was not really going on. Maybe, in the book "Call of the Wild" but, not around now much. I now find out it is all over the place and my teams quarterback was into it.

I guess we are learning more and more about life's underbelly, cheating, dog fighting, gang killings, etc. by watching football.

 

[Camprunner]

As for someone who has always lived in western MA. and also the Boston area I would like to see NE them take it all the way.

And just a little comment about running up the score I don't buy into that at all you play to win flat out all the time I don't care if the score is 80 to 0.

The next time I get into the boxing ring and im way up on points I think I will just hang back so the other guy won't look so bad in the end.

Peter King said it will come back to haunt them in the end. I know the coach is using this to get the team pumped up, just because they got caught cheating. When other teams run up the score on them 5 years from now, they will wonder why???

To all you Pat's fans: I only want to see them lose because I can't stand the thought of someone going undefeated. That's it, that's all.

Cromartie is physically gifted, but Moss is very experienced, as is Brady, so expect Moss to win that battle. It will be one of the weekend's key matchups, but I just can't see Cromartie holding down Moss without some help on the backend. Three years from now, Moss is slower and Cromartie is experienced, it might be different. But for now, expect Moss to win the battle, unless there's significant help over the top for Cromartie and he can focus on keeping Moss off the sideline.

I want SD to win but NE probably will pank the crap out of the Chargers.


NY vs GB
http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/playoffs07/series?series=nyggnb2007

The Pack will have a tough game but at home I think they will put it away in the 4th.

I'd love to see the Pack face NE and win since for Favre that would be a huge win and one of the biggest in history to prevent an obvious favorite from going undefeated and the GB vs NE matchup would have such great drama.
