You may want to read that article regarding #1 seeds and SB success. It's much better to go in at a lower seed. I know that is weird, but it has been proven true.

I'm actually pretty worried about a rematch. I don't think you can expect another 300-yard rushing performance the second time around--and the Panthers nearly won last night anyway.

Over 300 rushing yards says it won't be that competitive if they meet again.

Joe Flacco is starting to look like the next big best thing.
How embarssing for Dallas as they choke (again) in December, and in front of a star-studded goodbye to Texas Stadium crowd.

Funny, Flacco is playing just like Trent Dilfer did back in 2000, making a few big plays, managing the game, and not giving the ball away. The difference is that Flacco is doing this as a rookie, and that he can rifle the ball into tight spots and to a receiver before a DB can make a play. The downside is that he consistently overthrows receivers -- so when he's inaccurate, the ball sails. The other upside is that he has eliminated the mistakes he was making earlier in the season -- dumb throws on the run and fumbles in the pocket by holding the ball too long.

I'm curious what his upside is going to be, but his character looks great --- dedicated, studious, and even tempered. The BAL coaching staff also looks better than in the Billick years, as the team shows more offensive imagination and team discipline. Oddly the one weak area of the team has been special teams, which is ironic given Harbaugh's background.

As for Tony Romo, I think DAL has been coaching him down, and I think having TO is a mixed blessing at best. Jason Witten, though is a stud. If DAL would simply run the ball more and rely less on its passing game -- I think they'd be in the playoffs.

About Dallas, aren't they still in the hunt for a playoff spot? Trying to figure out the NFC playoff scenarios is more than I can do at this point. Dallas needs to let the over-paid, drama-filled, over-hyped, poisonous one go at the end of the season. He needs a more, dare I say, dominant coach. Of course if Dallas gets in the playoffs they will think all is well and we'll have this fun again next year!

I will confess to wanting the Panthers to go deep into the playoffs. So I can watch Delhomme's press conferences...

I thought it would be fun/nice to show our teams other side.

All NFL teams/players do great charity work at Christmas time. I love when the local news does a piece on what they did each year. One of the things the Patriots do is host a shopping spree, dinner and fun event for children and families strugging financially. After the dinner they had " Wrap your favorite Patriots" game. There was holiday paper, bows, tinsel, ribbon and all the trimmings. It was sooo cute to watch the little ones wrapping these huge men and making human presents out of them and to see how great they were interacting with the kids during this. the small children wrapped legs and low lying body parts, while the older kids did the upper half, and some of them had to get on a step stool.

Those are the things other teams' fans never get to see. Soooo, what did your team do this year for the holidays?

I heard about that fine. grrrrr
Also TMZ announced that Tom Brady and Giselle are engaged!

And you've met Wes Welker. How you can do that and not turn into his groupie is more than I'll ever know.

WOW ! What a season for us. I am extremely happy with the season the Patriots gave us this year, no matter the outcome of the Jet or Balt. game today. With all the key injuries and players being swapped out like bingo chips, their resilience shined thru. The coaching staff worked miracles with what they had. Hats off to them too .
I may even be more proud of this banged up team than I was in 2000.

To those of you who already clinched: Congrats !
To those of you waiting to see if you are in or you are out, good luck.

I know a Jets win helps the Pats, and I appreciate that. But I really want to see Chad Pennington kick their asses.

LOL, any other game, Katy, any other game. NY treated Pennington like crap all these years, if they do win < and I have zero faith the Jets can win this> I will be happy for him.

Are the Pittsburgh fans getting a little nervous for Big Ben ? When I saw he was out with another concussion, my thoughts went right to Troy Aikman. You can only get your bell rung so many times before you need to look to retirement.

Doesn't anyone < ahem, this means you Mr. Mangina > ever think of pulling Mr. Primadona < Favre> and putting his aged, broken ass on the bench ? Jeezus this is a big game for the Jets too, the back up cannot do worse than Farve has done.

So, how long do y'all think it'll take Dallas to dump TO, and where will he end up? I think it's about time he becomes a Raider.

Yeah, did you see all the shots of his facial grimaces today? I bet he was thinking, "Damn, why can't I have Chad Pennington on MY team."

What did Favre end with, something like 23 interceptions this season? That's indefensible.
