It pains me to say it, but, I hope it's N.O. Don't get me wrong, I like the saints, but, (and this is the part that hurts) I'm hoping for the Vikings. Yes, I'm one of those evil Favre people. But seriously, I think N.O. is going to take a loss in the next week or two and is going to just plummet from there and be out in the first round of the playoffs.
Indy... they're Indy. I'll be the first to admit that they have an awesome team, but, there's something odd looming for them I think. They may just end up throwing a game just so that pressure isn't there. I don't know.
Could this be another year where the Giants come out of nowhere at the end? I hope not. I like the Giants, and it would be kind of cool for them to pull it off like they did a couple years back, but I don't think they quite have it in them this time. Then again, I don't think anyone thought they had it in them to beat the Cowboys in Dallas, Packers in Green Bay and Pats in the Superbowl. I sure as hell didn't.
Then there's Green Bay. How about that Rodgers kid anyway!? O.O What the hell is up with him? I feel kind of bad for him actually. He's easily one of the best QBs in the game, but hardly anyone talks about him, opting for the big names of Brees, Manning(s), Favre and Brady. But holy cow! Kid's on fire!
Talking of 'on fire', I think McNabb needs his ribs broken more often! No, I don't hate the guy, I like McNabb, but I never really was able to figure out what all the hype was. In years past, sure, he was good, but he was terribly overhyped. This year though, after having his cage cracked and getting back, he's been awesome. He FINALLY started showing that he really is as good as everyone has been yapping about for the last god knows how many years. I say, in their first practice, they should just bust his ribs, and by the time the season rolls around, he'll be back out on the field and be unstoppable.
And the poor, lowly Bills. Thanks T.O. Gone and proven that no matter what team it is, you can make them suck. Last year with the Cowboys while T.O. was there, it was the first time in like 800 years (okay, something like 30 actually) that they didn't make it to the playoffs. While it brought a smile to my face, that was simply because I detest the Cowboys with an unnatural and biblical passion. Then to the Bills. No, not a great team, but, they were okay. Now take an okay team and toss in someone like T.O. to ruin morale and team cohesion, and you have a pretty awful team. I'm curious. Can we put him on the Browns and see if they can get a (-)3-17 season? Yes, I want to know if it's possible to lose all of the games in a season, AND have them take 3 more away just because of suckage.
And then there's the Vikes. I have to question what's going on there sometimes. They lost to Pittsburgh and Arizona. But at the same time managed to beat Baltimore, San Fran (who is doing pretty decent this year, let's be honest), Cincinnati, and Green Bay (twice). Okay, fine, I can see how the loss to AZ is possible, they're doing pretty well, for the Cardinals, and it helped that they had a couple more players on the field disguised as referees. And no, I'm not going to bring the revenge thing into it with the Green Bay games, they just went out and whooped some butt. No different than any of their other games this year really. What happened in those games? They weren't letting Favre play. Yes, he was on the field, but, something was missing. That smile. He wasn't having a good time. Regarde: Favre is "playing", he's smiling, they whoop on their opponent. Favre is frowning and being told what to do from the sidelines, they lose. Just as it's been for what, 19 years now? Let him go out there and be Brett Favre. That's why you hired him to begin with. Sick of the hype or not, no one can deny that he's playing better at 40 than 99.99999% of humanity could play (including other NFL 'stars') could play at 24. Just let him play. He's a big kid... or a cyborg... I'm not sure which yet. Although I could swear I did hear "Favrebot 3000 reporting sir. BEEP" before the game on Sunday.
Noting Cincinnati now. 9-4 and leading their division... wait... WHAT!? The Cincinnati Bengals? The ones from Ohio, right? Orange and black team colours? We ARE talking about the same team, right? Can't be. The same Bengals that are synonymous with "Suck!" since uh... wow... I remember at one point when I was really really young (yes they had invented football then, smartasses) they were good, but, that's been a damned long time. All I can say is, "Good on them!" Could be a surprise in store in the post season. No, seriously though, the Cincinnati Bengals? Huh... Go figure.
As it stands now though, I'm figuring it'll be Indy v. Minnesota or New Orleans or mayyyybe Green Bay. Either way, there's going to be some AWESOME games this post season.
