The Rams this season were one of the most unlucky teams I've ever seen; so were the Bills. The Cowboys had very few injuries or problems, they just flat-out sucked when they couldn't afford to suck.
Dallas and Indianapolis should both pay some attention to the fact that they totally blew off the last month of play, too. Indy's insistence on resting their starters (in spite of the almost overwhelming empirical evidence that it doesn't help you win in the playoffs) is mind boggling. Dallas...well, hey, you could've used that week in Mexico to look at game film on your upcoming opponents or something. That's not an off-week; you should recuperate, but you should also keep in sync with each other.
the Giants have won the past two games because they didn't shoot themselves in the foot, as they did much of the regular season. Turnovers absolutely killed them during the season, both interceptions and fumbles.
They've also eliminated the dropped passes that seemed to be plaguing the offense...and I don't know why it is, but the offense seems better without Shockey.
I kept looking for any recent quote from Tiki. Anything he can say will be very interesting. Go ahead and tear into your old team now. I laugh at it now.
What a great weekend of football. So sad it is almost over for the season. Just two more games. We know the AFC will win the superbowl. Best game left is the afc championship. I wonder how many will root for the chargers to win?

In fact, I'm kind of rooting for them. This is history right here. Who knows when the next undefeated super bowl champs (just saying if they DO win) will appear? 25-30 years? Who knows? It's an historic accomplishment if they do make it and it'll be a fun to be able to say you kept up with the season the whole way in 20 years, or however long, down the road when another team manages to pull it off, if anyone does.
I agree, though I wanted jax to win just cause they played their hearts out and I'm a huge david garrard fan, I also would like to see GB win it just cause Farve is my favorite player in the league. But if NE does end up winning it I will enjoy it just cause they are such an awesome team.Quote:

This year, though, they just stopped being interesting. They added a ton of talent and were all of a sudden a lot better, and barring injuries they're not going to lose, but it stopped being clever. I don't dislike them, but there's nothing inherently dramatic about watching the Pats dismember another team with Randy Moss and Tom Brady; it was way more fun when they were doing it with Troy Brown playing cornerback.
I also think that it's possible the rest of the country is just getting sick of the entire Boston area dominating professional sports.
Basketball is only recently though, but yea I guess they have some good teams over there. Detroit might be the best sports town (as far as having the most elite teams in the major 4 sports) if it weren't for the Lions.Quote:
