probably a little quicker thinking to. my complaint is why do they keep trying the 1 finger tackle. and the offense oh no they wont guess we are going up the middle again. it's hard to watch when it's 25.00 bucks to park and 50 plus a seat to watch. though i am not realy a fan. my wife is the sports nut. the one game i actually went to was in 75 i think and it was cold and wet with raiders winning 47-0 THAT WAS A REAL BLAST. maybe next year.

Well, my Dallas Cowgirls are out of the playoffs. Too much drama on that team, and it starts with Jerry Jones... who is ruining "America's Team" with his "hire a prisoner, or mental case, for a day" approach to personnel decisons. Tony Romo seems to have his mind of Jessica Simpsons behind, instead of on his centers... interception... fumble... too many mistakes from the bumbler.
 
At least Bill "Bellicheat" and the Patriots didn't make the playoffs. I posted earlier that they would lose in the first round of the playoffs, but I was going to write that they wouldn't even make the playoffs. Looks like I should have gone with my first instinct. Still to finish 11-5 and not make the playoffs isn't too shabby. I guess not being able to spy on your opponents and steal their signals is worth about 5 games a year.
 
The Giants have stumbled a bit down the stretch. I still like them or the Panthers in the NFC. The Colts have come on strong in the AFC. Miami will lose in the first round. Ravens don't have enough offense. Pittsburgh has the most balance, but the Steelers must lose!

Come on people... any "Fooseball" fans out there care to take a stab at out predicting the all knowing all seeing malhijipster?

Sorry, jipster, no NFL fans in my home. The only reason we turn on the Super Bowl is to watch the commercials.
 
Happy New Year!

How about those Colts? Nice turnaround. Gotta worry about the Chargers, as always. I'm sure they'd love to be spoilers, even if it's not Eli's chances they are spoiling (initially, anyway).
 
I tend to follow players more than teams, so I'm rooting for the Giants to meet the Colts.
 
But a prediction? Peyton is healthy but lots of their guys aren't. Eli is being carried by his team this year and hasn't shown a breakout game like he did in losing last year to the Pats. The Titans seem to be fading. Carolina is flying under the table and may surprise some of us. If you're a Steeler fan, you have to worry about Big Ben and him getting clocked all the time.
 
Baltimore is another sleeper. Falcons too. The Vikings and Cards I don't expect to go past the first game.
 
Ask me again after the first round and you'll get some more nebulous comments.

That's o.k, as the Super Bowl's are often a blowout, the commercials are usually more exciting than the game. Budweiser usually has the best commercials... a bunch of nutty guys sitting around trying to figure out how they can get the last Bud Lite before the other guy. Why them beer companies always picking on us dudes... doesn't seem fair.

I like the Colts too, don't think they can make it all the way to the Super Bowl though. A few too many close calls and lucky wins during their streak. They're due for a spanking. I think the Steelers will give it to them.
 
I'd like to see at least one underdog in this year. Let the Manning brothers sit home this year and bond with Archie. I'd like to see someone whip the Giants, doubt it will happen though. I'll have a definite Super Bowl winner after the first round of the play-offs...
