When it comes time for the Super Bowl, it's always matchups, matchups, matchups. The year the Pats went 18 wins and one Giant loss, they were blowing most teams out. I pointed out in a chat room half way throught the season that the team that could beat the Pats needed to be one that could apply pressure with the down 4, but those guys also had to be able to play the run too. The team also needed a good running attack and an above average offense. The only team that could have beat the Pats that year was the Giants, yet they just barely got by a Green Bay team, who matched up well with them. I think the only NFC team with a chance is the defending champion Saints. They have balance once Bush gets back to the lineup, and their defense though not stellar, runs on the principle of just get a couple turnovers, a couple of stops, and you can't keep up on the scoreboard. I'd love a rematch against them though, as my Steelers fell 20-10 greatly aided by a rare Heath Miller miscue.
