    Being a Baltimore Ravens fan, I loath the Patriots. I do not like the Seahawks either, so I have trouble deciding who to root for. One thing I do know...the balls will be inflated correctly for this game. lol. I hate to admit it, but I believe the Patriots will pull this one out.

    My E A G L E S GOT SHOT DOWN BUY SOME COWBOY SHARP SHOOTERS.My hats off to the better team this year.


    My wife felt your pain, Bill. She was raised in Delaware, and has always been a big Eagles fan. I think she has given up hope of ever seeing them in the Super Bowl, though. But, she still hopes for the impossible. :))):

    12 pack, I'm a Chiefs fan so I believe my odds of them winning are a little worse than you and your Falcons. None the less you gotta love football season. :shades_smile:


    I don't know, oliver13, the Chiefs sure gave my Ravens a scare last Sunday. What was sure to be an easy win turned into a nail biter for a while. When your Quarterback comes back, they may just put up a worthy fight.

    It's great seeing the Ravens on the field again. And to trounce the 'Skins...BONUS! I know it's just preseason, but it's still a WIN. :teeth_smile:


    By the way, my wife and my oldest daughter are Eagles fans, and they are not happy at all with the Vick signing. I can't imagine the fans in Philly will be kind....they never are. lol

    Thanks, gt. They're gonna need all they got left to give the Steelers a game. But I got a feeling they might pull an upset. If you remember, both matchups during the season were very, very close. Either way, I am proud of the job they did. It's been a fun and enjoyable season so far.

    Sorry, Hondo, but I am happy that your Titans had an "off" day. My Ravens appreciated that. I have to admit, I can't believe that the Ravens won with the way the Titans kept charging down the field. But the turnovers killed them. Our defence bent, but wouldn't break! And Flacco did just enough to keep the Ravens in the game and get the win. The first Rookie to win 2 playoff games ever.


    Now, do I root for the Steelers or the Chargers tomorrow? Hmmmm


    Oh, and my wife grew up in Delaware, so she is a big Eagles fan, so tomorrow will be a big day for her. The Giant's - Eagles games are always played hard and tight. So, for my wife's sake......GO EAGLES!

    My Ravens are still alive! :hyper:


    Can anyone please explain to me how Joe Flacco, who lead the Ravens (who were 5 - 11 last year) to an 11-5 regular season record in his rookie year, didn't get any votes for Rookie of the Year? And I mean NONE! Not one vote. And he just became the first rookie to ever win an away playoff game. I understand that Matt Ryan had a great rookie campaign also, but to receive NO votes at all? Mystifying!


    GO RAVENS!!!

    Who wants to see two Northeastern teams play?

    Go Pats!



    Ahem.....um....I do. :teeth_smile: I think the Giants will give the Pats a better game than Green Bay could. NY is on a road roll right now and I think it will be a very exciting Super Bowl. I hate blow-outs. Plus, the last time they both played each other, the Giants gave them a serious run for their money. That will be in the Pat's heads as the game gets nearer. And I'm sorry, Kevin...But GO GIANTS!

    Seeing T.O. crying broke my heart. I never knew the big guy was so full of compassion for his fellow team mates......yea, right. He knew what he was doing and it had it's effect. He was all over the news. That's what T.O. is all about.

    Thanks, Giants!

    The Patriots - Giants game was awesome.:hyper: I was afraid that the Giants might lay down on this one, but they came out swinging.I told the Mrs. that they needed to spread the lead they had befor the 4th quarter started, because Brady usually owns the 4th. As you can see, that's what happened. But the Giants have no reason to hang their heads. Great game all around!

    The Football Gods are against me this week. :glare: I won't be home to watch the Colts and Patriots play, and my Ravens play on Monday night against the Steelers. A big rivalry in our division, and I gotta work.:glare: I can listen to the radio, but I operate a printing press and am constantly on the move and the machine is loud, so I will miss much of it. Oh, the agony:cry2:

    As for the Colts and Pats? My heart roots for the Colts (formally my hometown team when they were in Baltimore), but my brain tells me the Pats are gonna roll. They are on a mission this year after getting caught...um...cheating. :ohmy: And that Randy Moss? He's been catching any balls thrown in his general zip code this year. I never liked the ego-maniac, but he sure can play!

    Looking ahead on who my Ravens play scares the crap out of me. Pittsburgh Steelers, San Diego Chargers, New England Patriots and the Indianapolis Colts. How's that for a 4-pack? Thank God we had a bye last week to rest up :wink_smile: .
