For Tebow Sake...

Over the past few months, I have heard nothing but Tebow is awful or Tebow is great.

The fact is, is that no one really knows what this kid can do. I personally, wish Tebow a great deal of success. Tebow's stats are dismal at best. His performances have been mildly entertaining. However, the kid hasn't played much at all. You can't not judge a person by a few games and say that he is the best thing ever or that he is awful and can't ever compete in this league.

So, if you look at the two sides of this argument; you see one side just saying that Tebow is great without any real accomplishments. And, the other side that just really doesn't like the people that are calling him great.

I don't believe that anyone really has an issue with Tebow…the issue is with Tebow fans.

How about we call a trues? Tebow fans shut up until the end of the season. If he does better then great…talk all you want. If he doesn't then remain silent.

Angry Birds

Angry Birds, I wish I was talking about the app.  Unfortunately, I am speaking about the Eagles.  Not the players, the fans!

For the past few weeks, I have heard nothing from Eagles fans about: how terrible Vick is, incompetent Reid is, or why the Eagles defense is awful.  Guess, what?  It's not your team that sucks.  It's you!

The Eagles fans are the absolute worst in the NFL.  Let us go back…

• December 15, 1968, Eagles fans boo Santa Claus and then proceed to pelt him with snowballs.

• From 1986 − 1991, Buddy Ryan was the Coach of the Eagles.  Buddy Ryan is really to blame for these terrible fans.  He built the team.  He built the fan base.  Though, Buddy Ryan is seen as one of the best coaches to coach the game.  The fans never appreciated him.  

• On December 10, 1989, the Philadelphia Eagles Fans pelted the Dallas Cowboys team and coaches with snowballs.

• In 1995, Randall Cunningham decided to retire from football.  He did so because not only the fans but the organization turned their backs on him and offered Rodney Pete the starting job in Philly.  Surprisingly, Pete was one of the few Quarterbacks that the Eagles fans liked and didn't boo immediately.  Cunningham later went on to lead the Minnesota Vikings to a 15-1 season only three years later.

• In 1999, the Eagles drafted Donnovan McNabb second pick overall in the draft. He was met with a chorous of Boos on opening day. McNabb led the Eagles to four consecutive NFC East division championships between 2001-2004, five NFC Championship Games and a Super Bowl XXXIX appearance, in which the Eagles were defeated by the New England Patriots. McNabb's career was consistantly challenged by Eagles fans, no matter how well he played.

• Oct. 11, 1999, Dallas Cowboys receiver Michael Irvin suffered a career-ending neck injury at Veterans Stadium against the Philadelphia Eagles.  While Irvin lay motionless on the ground, Eagles fan cheered.

• Philadelphia no choice but to install a court, judge and jail inside the stadium.  A courtroom was built into the stadium where unruly fans were taken for judgment and sentencing after committing crimes at Veterans Stadium.  The penalties for the crime forced offenders to give up season tickets, pay a $400 fine and sit in jail for the rest of the game.

• In 2004, the Eagles aquired Terrell Owens.  The Eagles fan base really embrased him.  The Eagles fans were never very happy with McNabb and when Owens began his rants against McNabb and the Management, Eagles fans cheered this on.

• Michael Vick was picked up by the Philledephia Eagles in 2009, majority of the Eagles fans hated this move.  Vick, an ex-convict being picked up by the Eagles was not something they wanted for their team.  Vick is currently the started of the Eagles and most Eagles fans regard him as a "cry baby."

• In 2010, Donovan McNabb was sent packing by the Eagles.  Relying on the fact, that they had two great Quarterbacks in Michael Vick and Kevin Kolb.  McNabb was never respected throughout all of his days as an Eagle.  Most of the time, McNabb was booed more than cheered.

• In 2011, Andy Reid has compiled what was considered to be the "Dream Team."  However, after a 3 − 6 start; the Eagles fans are now calling for Reid to be dismissed.  Reid has compiled the best win total 120, winning percentage .609 and playoff victory total 10 in team history. He has captured six division titles and five trips to the NFC Championship game. Since he was hired in 1999, no other franchise has earned more divisional playoff round appearances 7. 

These are just some of the reasons as to why the Eagles fans are ruining the Eagles franchise.  I can understand booing Santa.  Hell, I can even understand cheering while an injured opponents player laid motionless on the field.  What, I can not understand is how or why they disrespect every player that they get.  Cunningham wasn't good enough, McNabb wasn't good enough, Vick isn't good enough.   So, who is?  What if they traded for Tom Brady?  I am sure they would still boo.

It is a proven fact that if a team or a person is cheered, the team or person is more likely to win.  If a team or person is booed they are more likely to lose.  So guess what Philly…you are killing yourselves.

The Eagles fans don't deserve this team.  Eagles fan deserve to not have a team at all.  The Eagles should move to L.A. and deal with the Hollywood weirdos rather than deal with a bunch of ungrateful bastards.  At least in L.A. you would have a fit fan base rather than a bunch of cheese steak filled fat asses.

What do you think?

NFC East - The Lock Out Review

The NFC East Preview - Before any trading takes place, before anyone can begin the shifty movements between teams; let us take a look at this division and see how these teams match up, and what they need to do in order to get a championship.

Dallas Cowboys

The Dallas Cowboys were the biggest disappointment last year. At the beginning of the season most football analysts claimed that the Cowboys would be in the Superbowl. Well, that did not happen. As a matter of fact, the Cowboys were down right pathetic. Big named stars making large salaries were just not performing up to the standards of a Superbowl team. So, we blamed the coach and sent him packing and then Garrett stepped in and the team performed fairly well but still had some major concerns on both sides of the ball. Let us examine these concerns.

Offense

QB

The position of Quarterback is arguably the Cowboys greatest challenge. Tony Romo has held this position for several years and has done a good job holding the reigns. As a matter of fact, Romo has an above average QB rating for a starting QB, his interceptions have progressively decreased, and his fumbles have been greatly reduced. With all of that being said, I don't know if Romo is a true leader. He has always had concerns when the Cowboys have been in the playoffs. He has never really lead this team. He has always been just one of the "boys." Everyone thought once T.O. left town, Romo would break out and become the leader everyone wants him to become. Unfortunately that hasn't happened yet.

RB

Between Marion Barber and Felix Jones, this is a great one, two punch. In the draft they also picked up DeMarco Murray who could add another dimension to the game.

WR

Miles Austin and Dez Bryant are the two featured WR, considering Roy Williams has done very little for the team. Austin could have an amazing year. Bryant the jury is still out. I will let you know, though.

TE

Jason Witten - Solid.

Line

Average. The team had shifting concerns last year on the left and right side. Personally, I think the real issue with the line is the center. Hopefully, this offseason the Cowboys will make necessary adjustments.

Defense

LB

Solid

Secondary

Could use an upgrade. Both sides are weak. But for the most part, Ball and Newman need to go. These are very weak players in the NFL and should be considered backups and not starters.

Ends and Line

Bowan is a beast. Could use a matching end of the right side.

My take:

Once trading can take place. Trade Romo. Romo is still worthy of getting some good players and high draft picks. Trade him and acquire a first round draft pick or a great starting QB. Trade Roy Williams. Make a deal with the Patriots and take any of their WR that is collecting dust on the bench because they will perform better than that SOB. Spend some money and pick up some great Secondary players. Just about anyone will be better than Ball or Newman. Do this and win the NFC East.

New York Giants

The Giants battled their way to the playoffs. Getting in with a Wild Card. Personally, I think this is one of the luckiest teams in the last 10 years. Everything that happens with this team is luck. Let's take a look at this team.

Offense

QB

Eli has a low QB rating for a starting QB. Last year, he had 25 interceptions. 25 interceptions does not get a team into the playoffs…wait a minute…they were in the playoffs. Eli has managed to rack up over 4000 yards in both the 2009 and 2010 seasons. Also, in the past two years his completion percentage has been in the 60%.

RB

The last two years Brandon Jacobs has been slipping. 2008 season was his best and it is looking like it might be time to put this guy down.

WR

Hakeem Nicks and Mario Manningham really came into there own this year. Watch out for these two.

TE

Kevin Boss is probably the most standard TE in the game. in the past two seasons, Boss has gained 500+ yards, and has 5 touchdowns.

Line

They have a fairly strong line. It has really improved from a year ago.

Defense

LB

This is arguably the worst group of LB in the league. I believe that this was the greatest challenge for the Giants in 2010. More often than not, teams would pass over the middle or run up the middle and these linebackers were sad to watch.

Secondary

This is a great secondary. Maybe the best Cornerback secondary in the league. And the safeties are not too shabby either.

Ends and Line

Tuck and that other guy on the right side are unbelievable. This is the greatest Defensive End grouping ever in the history of the NFL. The D line has some concerns but its weakest team member is Canty and that isn't too bad.

My take:

Bring in some great RB and LB. This is all that you will need with all that luck this team has. If the Giants see to one or the other position in the off season, they will go to the Superbowl.

Philadelphia Eagles

Everyone who reads this blog knows that I jumped on to the M. Vick bandwagon early on. So some of this will not come as a surprise to you but I bet that some of it will make you wonder if I am alright in the head. You all probably already think that.

QB

M. Vick did great last year. Arguably the best QB of the 2010 season. At least he was the most talked about.

RB

LeSean McCoy had a fairly good year. 1000 yards + rushing a few touch downs.

WR

DeSean Jackson and Jermy Maklin…wow!

TE

Brent Celek is a solid TE. He had a rather slow year due to the new weapons.

Line

The right side is a little weak but I do not believe that this has to do with a particular player it is more about the coaching.

Defense

LB

Bradley maybe the only bright spot on this LB squad.

Secondary

This team is loaded with great corners. The safeties are pretty young but they have done a fairly good job at these positions.

Ends and Line

The ends and the line are above average.

My take:

Personally, this is what I would do. I would trade Vick. I would get a fast WR, a great back up RB. and find some LB with some balls. Have Kolb run the offense and this will make you Superbowl champs next year.

Washington Redskins

This team had the makings of one of the greatest football teams in history. The Shannahans, McNabb, Portis, Cooley, etc… Well, as we know, nothing great came from this but a horrible disaster.

QB

Um…who is the QB now?

RB

Um…well. (Chirp, chirp)

TE

Cooley is a great TE.

WR

Well, Um…

Line

I don't know if they ever showed up last year to judge them.

Defense

LB

The Redskins LB are very strong.

Secondary

DeAngelo Hall is the brightest part about this secondary.

Ends and Line

Well…moving on.

My take:

This has the makings of the 2003 Oakland Raiders all over it. The Shannahans has now officially deconstructed a team that they put together. Now what? They need to build it back up. unfortunately they have done a poor job in doing so in the draft and else where. What would I do? Fire the Shannahans.

Love it or hate it…I want to hear from you. Tell me how much you hate me for making fun of your team or tell me that you agree with me.

To Live and Die in L.A.

Well…Well….

Here we are again. Talking about who is going to be the next L.A. NFL Football Team. The choices are between:

St. Louis Rams

Oakland Raiders

San Diego Chargers

Jacksonville Jaguars

Minnesota Vikings

Hmmm….Oakland and St. Louis were once L.A. Teams and if I remember correctly the fans didn't support them. At least not the Rams. The Rams ran out of L.A. Oakland is a wild card any way you look at it. Al wants to be in L.A. then he doesn't. Al wants what is best for Al.

The Chargers is an interesting pick. This team is doing well in San Diego. The fans are as loyal as you get. Well at least until you move your team to L.A. This would not be a good idea.

Jacksonville is horrible. This team needs some TNT rather than a move to LA LA land. The Jags have never really attracted a large fan base so this maybe a good move for them.

Minnesota has been threatening to move for some time now. Honestly, I am bored with the whole thing. It is reminiscent of when Favre wants to come out of retirement or when Bernard Hopkins wants to talk about something he knows nothing about. But lets review, fans are relatively present in Minnesota. The team has been going through some growing pains here and there. The whole Favre thing is pathetic. The rebirth of Randy Moss in Minnesota was a sad sight to see. Childress…well, enough said.

Personally, I thin the league should grow. The league should accept two to eight more teams. Here is where I think teams should go:

Los Angeles

Portland

Las Vegas

Vancouver

Mexico City

San Antonio

Quebec

Toronto

Some would say that this would cause the league to be too saturated with average play. I say there is some many great players that never make it to the NFL. Why not merge some leagues together and get some of these great players from the UFL.

As for the five teams listed above. Oakland and St. Louis shouldn't even be considered. These teams already had an opportunity with L.A. and they failed. Minnesota is not going to L.A. San Diego would be fools to move. Jacksonville is the only real potential candidate.

Go Los Angeles Jaguars!

Christmas (or Hanukkah) in June!

Let's face it, the NFL is in shambles. Where do I begin? Let's start with the Lockout. For those who do not know what is going on; currently the owners have locked out the players. Why has this occurred? Well, for a few reasons. But mainly because all sides are greedy bastards. When I say all sides there is much more to this than players and owners, like the papers would want you to believe. The major players in this whole thing; is the Owners, Players, and the NFL. The players would not agree to a new agreement with the owners because the owners are not sharing with the players organization where moneys are coming in from and how much. The NFL and the Owners do not want this material to become public. Weather or not, this is right…I don't care. I really could care less and so could the rest of the football fans out there. As a matter of fact, it seems very discouraging amongst the fans about what is going on. Several fans have jumped ship already. Some plan to if the season doesn't occur and other could care less it is just some mindless entertainment for them. I fall into a little bit of all the above.

So because of all this B.S., I am going to start my Christmas list for June right now.

Dear Santa,

I am writing this list to you in June because I would like to get a few things prior to Christmas. Here is my list and I hope you will comply, like you always do:

10) Please stop Ray Lewis from telling the media that the fans are going to cause major crimes if there is not a football season. We all know that the NFL players will be involved in more crimes than the fans will be.

9) This lady who had a Redskin symbol painted on her teeth, needs to be smacked up side her head. First of all, yuck. Secondly, why? Finally, I would rather her paint something on her boobs so that I would have something to look at instead of her nasty mouth.

8) May Ocho Cinco please find a new career in this off season.

7) T.O. should take up a new career: one that will rival George Michaels Sports Machine called the T.O. Show at night and during the day he should become an interior designer to battle that other wash up.

6) Please stop the racial slurs when discussing Michael Vick. I don't care if you wanna call him a dog murderer or an executioner of pups….don't care. But please leave the racial card at the door. It really shows how ignorant people are when all you can do is call someone a N….

5) McNabb should no longer be allowed to have a number. Instead McNabb should be the only player in history to get a symbol and that symbol is cross hairs. Why? Not cause I wish him harm. As a matter of fact, I am a huge supporter of McNabb. Because that poor guy gets hit every direction he goes. Philly fans, Washington fans, NFL fans, Hopkins…etc…

4) Now with Opera gone. I think Reggie Bush should retire and take her place as the Queen of day time talk shows.

3) Please stop the mindless chatter that Jay Cutler has no heart. The man is a good QB. He is not great. But he is good. Let the man breath and he will do well for you in Chicago.

2) Somebody please wipe the drool from Goodell's mouth and let him slip back into his coma so that he will get off this 18 week season. "Yes. I know. Mr. Goodell. The fans want 18 games." Has anyone ever really done a check to see if this dude is a real person or a mindless robot zombie from the planet Gotohell?

1) I want there to be a football season. I do not care who plays for these teams. I do not care who the owners of these teams are. And I really do not care who the commissioner is and the rest of the NFL executives are. So, if need be…fire them all and lets start over.

Thank you Santa…you are the best.

The Commish

Disenfranchised Part 2

The Players Union and the NFL couldn't come to an agreement. Therefore, the players have been locked out. The real losers in this game is the fans. We watch, we spend money on tickets, merchandise, etc... And what do we get...locked out.

The NFL is a 9 billion dollar industry and they get all of their money from us...the fans. So how do we combat this. We the fans have the ultimate power. We have the choice to pay for tickets. We have the choice to buy merchandise.

Therefore, I propose we the fans lockout the NFL. Join me at:

http://www.facebook.com/?ref=home#!/pages/I-Lockout-the-NFL/119066261504871

Like the site and join me in getting rid of these absurd prices that we pay in order to be fans of an organization that we built.

Disenfranchised

The labor dispute has threatened my 2011 football season. Therefore, I came up with an ideal way of settling the dispute.

Now first of all, I do not know where every penny goes so please do not get too critical about this but I think this would be a great solution to this issue.

Currently, the NFL is a 9 billion dollar industry. The NFL collects its revenue mostly from Advertising, Licensing, and TV contracts. Ticketing and Concessions makes a lot of money. As for Licensing, every time a person buys a players jersey or if you watch an old NFL game on TV, the NFL collects. TV contracts is where the money is the greatest for the NFL. This is the bread and butter of the organization. All teams get the same cut from the TV Contracts.

Currently, the players receive about 3/4 of the total revenue of the NFL. This is set up by the players association. The Players Association meets with the NFL every 5 - 10 years and discusses finds ways to increase the players earnings.

In 2011, 4 billion dollars will go to the 32 teams for their TV Contracts. Let's just say that the NFL has to take a cut so the 32 teams receive 100 million dollars each. Each team must go down to 53 players each year. Every team offered the players a base salary of a million dollars per year. This is guaranteed money. If the player gets hurt, if he sits on the bench, if he sends naked pictures to a jets employee...it doesn't matter the player always gets their money. Each team would then be left with 47 million dollars. The 47 million would be broken into three parts; bonuses, Owner, and management of the organization. Lets say out of the 47 million dollars, 20 million dollars was set aside for bonuses. These bonuses would come in forms of Most Rushing Yardage, Most Receiving Yardage, Most Interceptions, Most Tackles, Most Sacks, etc... There could even be stipulation bonuses if starting QB throws 20 interceptions this year he will not receive the bonus. 20 million dollars would go to the Management of the team. Head coach would get 2 million, assistant coaches would receive a 1 million dollars, etc... The owner would then have to find a way to run his organization off of 7 million dollars for the year.

Now as for the Ticketing and Concessions, lets say team XYZ has a stadium that seats 60,000 fans. Tickets are 50 per person. Each team gets 8 home games...the way it works right now is that the home team receives 60 percent while the visitor receives 40 percent. Let's say that we make it 50 / 50. On a sold out game both teams would receive 1.5 million dollars. .5 should go to the owners / management while 1 million dollars should go back to the team. After a 16 week season, we are talking an additional 16 million dollars minus concessions. An additional 301,886 per player.

Licensing and Advertisement should be done in the same manner. If three people buy Charles Woodson jerseys, then the proceeds should go to the team to be spread amongst the players.

Where would this leave old Payton Manning. Payton Manning just signed a contract for 99 million for 7 years. Well, if he played soild for all seven years, and they structured his bonuses for 2 million per year, we would be looking at 23 million dollars for seven year minus concessions, advertisement and Licensing.

Sure this may not be perfect but it would be instrumental rejuvenating the NFL. No more Randy Mosses giving up, no more T.O. crying about the QB, no more stadiums not getting filled up because the players would start to care again. They would have to come to signings and show themselves in public so that the public wants to come see them perform. This is why the NFL has been disenfranchised.

The Bengals

The Bengals...this team was awful. I am appalled by the fact that the 2010 Bengals could even call themselves an NFL team. This team reminds me of the 2004 Oakland Raiders.

Let us dissect this team and see where the problem lies:

Offense
Carson Palmer - 3970 Yards, 26 Touchdowns, 20 Interceptions and 7 Fumbles.
Cedric Benson - 1111 Yards, 7 Touchdowns, 7 Fumbles
Ocho Cinco - 831 Yards, 4 Touchdowns, 1 Fumble
T. O. - 983 Yards, 9 Touchdowns

The Offensive line allowed for 26 sacks.

Defense
Really the only stand out player on the defense is Carlos Dunlap who recorded 10 sacks this year. The rest of the defensive squad was terrible.

Special Teams
Same...really poor.

Play Calling and General Coaching
Poor at best.


With this offense and with such an under average defense, this team should of been racking up the points. However, this team only scored 30+ points in 4 games. The rest of the time the team could barely get a first down. Why?

Poor coaching.

Here is my two cents and you can take it or leave it. Carson Palmer could definitely be a great quarterback again. His inconsistency in throwing interceptions is the biggest concern. This maybe because of the play calling or the average performance of the receivers. Keep these players. 1st player in the draft they need to recruit a great lineman. A Guard or Tackle that can apply consistently allow for Carson to make the plays. In the lower rounds, they need to draft a tight end, a receiver, and a two defensive players preferably both that could start immediately in LB and in the secondary. The entire defense needs to be reworked. They need to start at the draft and who ever they get they need to build around. Which mean making some great after draft choices at line men and secondary. The most pathetic part of the Bengals is that they don't even know what they have. They should of been a playoff contender.

This is all fine and dandy but the truth is that this team will continue to perform like this next year even if they take the steps that I just layed out for them. Why? Because the coaching is piss poor. They need to make sure that all of their players know that they are expendable. And that they can use a different guy in that position. They need to hold these players accountable for their actions. This is the greatest challenge for the Bengals. Unfortunately, we will have to wait and see if this coaching group will do just that.

Within the rumor mill is that Palmer won't come back. If the Bengals were smart...which is still up in the air...they need to make sure that Palmer comes back but knows that he could be second in the line up. Make sure when training camp starts that another younger QB is waiting in the locker room. He will change his tune once he sees that he can be replaced.

L.A.

Remember the L.A. Rams? How about the L.A. Raiders?

Now, L.A. is attempting to get a new Football team! Will they steal a team already in the league? Minnesota? Jacksonville? Oakland? Chargers?

All of these names have been thrown around. Some more, than others. Currently, the front runner is San Diego! Really? They have a solid fan base? Why should they move? Jacksonville seems like the clear choice to me. Jacksonville hasn't sold out a game...in some time.

But to be completely honest. The league is set up brilliantly the way it is. 4 teams in a 4 division conference with two conferences. Makes plenty of sense to steal a team rather than create a team. But I got a different spin on things. Hear me out:

Remember when the NFL joined with the AFL? Wasn't that a real spell bounding moment? What if, the CFL and the NFL joined forces? Some teams were moved to the United States, while other teams went even further south, and some teams were disassembled. Imagen an NFL where there were four conferences: North, South, East and West. Each conference would have 2 divisions made up of 5 teams. Each team would play their divisional rivals twice in a season. Then they would play their cross divisional rivals once a year. Then the final three games would be based off of the previous years schedule. If the Patriots were 15 -1 and the Packers were 15 - 1. Then they would play again the next year.

The Playoffs would take four conference champions, four divisional winners and four wild card teams. The Wild Card teams would play first against the divisional winners. The winners of those games would then play the Conference Champions.

Could you imagine an NFL where the Mexico City Aztecs played the Toronto Cannucks in the Super bowl? Might take some getting use to.

The End of an Era

In the past twenty years, we have seen some of the greatest football in the NFL. 6 teams come to mind:

Pittsburgh Steelers
Green Bay Packers
Dallas Cowboys
New England Patriots
San Fransisco 49er's
Indianapolis Colts

These teams have dominated the past twenty years. However, if you really break it down...Indianapolis and New England have never really had stand out teams until the last twenty years. The 49er's ruled the 80's and the 90's but before that they were not much to look at. The three stand out teams of all time have been the top three: Pittsburgh, Green Bay and Dallas. How fitting that this Superbowl is being held in Dallas and that the Steelers and the Packers will be battling to see who is best.

However, it brings into question what happened to all the other greats? Miami, Oakland, Minnesota, Buffalo. What happened?

What happened is the NFL has put road blocks into effect that causes the "Dynasties" to die out much quicker. If you watch any of the conferences each year their is usually a different team leading the ranks.

In my opinion, the dynasties will no longer occur within the NFL. We will start seeing a lot more even playing field within the next twenty years.

So, this beer is for the Superbowl. Two of the NFL's all time great football teams battling it out in the home of another great football team. However watch out. It may be a while before you see them again.

Where Shall Vince Go?

Where should Mr. Vince Young end up?

I've heard Arizona, Miami, Oakland, San Fransisco, etc...

Here is my pick...I bet Vince eventually gets released and then a team like the Texans will pick him up but only for a short time where he will be dealt and end up in Dallas, of all places.

Let me hear from you...where do you think he should go and why?

the Last Prediction

Here are my predictions from the beginning of the year. Lets see how I did?



AFC:
Ravens - 1st seed - Patriots - Close but no cigar!
Colts - 2nd seed - Steelers - Close but no cigar!
Patriots - 3rd seed - Indianapolis - Close but no cigar!
Raiders - 4th seed - Kansas City - Well, I don't know I think Al Davis rhetoric has completely fried my brain.

AFC Wild Cards:
Titans - Baltimore - Hmmm....
Jets - Jets - Cigar!!!

Truth to be told, I guessed 4 of the 6 teams in the playoffs! Not too bad.

NFC:
Packers - 1st seed - Atlanta - Never saw Atlanta coming!
Saints - 2nd seed - Chicago - This was possible.
Eagles - 3rd seed - Philly - Bingo!
Cardinals - 4th seed - Seattle - Way off here. But then again, who would of ever of guessed.

NFC Wild Cards:
Giants - New Orleans - I didn't think the Saints would slip this far.
Redskins - Green Bay - The Pack had alot of injuries and still made it to the dance.

3 of 6.

Total: 7 of 12

I stayed above .500

Prediction for the Superbowl:
Jets to play the Packers

Jets take the lead early. Jets lose a major player on offense. Packers make a big come back and then go into the lead. Jets kick a 45+ field goal in final seconds and miss the game winning kick.
Packers 28 - Jets 27
