Okay, so we're starting into the NFL playoffs and such. Maybe it's too early to predict a Super Bowl matchup, so from the teams that are left, who do you HOPE makes it to the big game? I'm pulling for the Titans or the Dolphins for the AFC. For NFC, I'm pulling for the Giants or the Panthers. I realize that the Dolphins are a longshot, but c'mon. They were 1-15 last season. Go Chad!
Oh, and I am so, so, so, so glad the Cards beat the Falcons and Sand Diego beat the Colts (this because of an idiot I work with).

I'd like to see a Panthers/Steelers or Panthers/Titans Super Bowl. I'm a happy camper as long as the Cowboys aren't in it although I favor Carolina........

The Vikings need to start getting revenge for their four Super Bowl losses.
The Dolphins will be first with the Chiefs, Steelers and Raiders to follow.

No, see, the Bears screwed up and lost their last game. How, how, how can you do that, especially when you know it depends on you getting a wildcard spot or not???? Anyway, I'm still a loyal Bears fan. They'll go back to the Bowl one day and win another one. Hopefully.

Your on my turf next week Ronnie lol. I think if Minnesota wins today they will be the ones who play the Panthers. I'd like to see a Birds/Cats matchup though.....

I've been a Bears/49ers fan for about 20-25 years, haven't had much to cheer about with exception of the 49ers success in the 90's, and the Bears appearance in a Super Bowl in the 2000's. The Bears will never get anywhere unless they can draft or acquire a franchise QB. Detroit is in the same boat, although the Bears are a much better team.
My Super Bowl picks are iffy right now. I don't like a lot of the teams left, I don't want to see the Giants repeat. For the first time in ages I don't really care who wins. I do think the Dolphins are a great story but don't see them going far.

I can't believe the niners decided to keep Singletary. Singletary was a helluva player for the Bears but that doesn't always mean one's gonna be a great coach. I would have figured they'd explore their options a little more. He seems like a showboating clown with some of the antics this past year.......

See, see, I am not the only one who thinks the Bears need a new QB!!! So what if Grossman was a good college QB? That means nothing in the pros. Orton tries hard, I think, and I like him better than Grossman, but still...I think Grossman's an idiot. When he plays I yell very mean things at him, LOL.
As for Singletary, I guess the niners are keeping him cause he's done okay with them since he's been coaching. Hell I don't guess they could get much worse than what they were. Who knows, though? It seems to be that time of year for firing coaches, so I guess anything could happen.

The Dolphins dream season appears to be over. Very very nice season for them following last years dismal 1-15 record. Now the real test will be next year when expectations are going to be much higher for them.

I didn't mind seeing Singletary as coach of the 49-ers. I guess he is there for good as most of the games he coached were wins or were close games. Really too bad about Alex Smith, he never really materialized. They have some good receivers, it's just getting them the ball. I guess they get a high draft pick, so maybe that will be addressed.
The Dolphins couldn't get anything past the Baltimore defense. 52 yards on the ground. They had a great year though, and Tuna was surprisedly quiet. Maybe next year....

Detroit gets top pick in the draft. Damn I feel sorry for some poor college kid even if he will be an overnight millionaire.......

Predictibly the Vikings lost to the Eagles today. After being written off a little over a month ago the Eagles are flying high right now and could prove to be a tough matchup for anybody.
So we're down to the final 8
in the NFC we have
Arizona vs Carolina Philadelphia vs NY Giants
in the AFC (not sure of the matchups for next week)
San Diego Baltimore Pittsburgh Tennessee

This year Bruce Springsteen is doing the Super Bowl. I like him, but it's hard to think of him doing a venue like that.
I'm going out on a limb here, but I'm predicitng a Chargers-Eagles Super Bowl.

Baltimore's playing at Tennessee and Chargers playing at Pittsburgh reportedly without Tomlinson whose injured. I hadn't heard if Big Ben's gonna start.
P.S. It's me vs. you Ronnie!

I'm hoping for an all-Pennsylvania Super Bowl; apart from the novelty, both teams are well-run, ethical franchises who'd deserve the title (that plus the knowledge gained earlier in the year that Jim Johnson's defense can get to Roethliberger at will, and the additional knowledge that maybe now that his curse has apparently been broken by his statue being put atop the Comcast Building, now Philadelphia's tallest, William Penn may start smiling on all his franchises). If this cannot work out, I'd like an exotic Cardinals-Titans matchup, both of whom make nice changeups to the tradition parade of champions (although speaking of curses, one may argue the Cards might not win until the Pottsville Maroons get the 1925 title back).
