DISQUS

Bring on the Chargers! Big upsets this week. I am predicting a Pats-Packers Super Bowl.

I'm with you. I see Pats and Packers, though the Giants are interesting. They are on a roll and will not go down without a fight. I see the Pats having a tough game for a while before they break away in the second half and I see the Giants-Packers coming down to a field goal finish. Will be a great weekend.

You are right on with the pats but i like the Giants in the second game. As much as i would like to see Favre move on, i think the Giants have more weapons.I hope Rivers and LT play on sunday so they can feel the pain as much as their teammates. We know the Pats efficiency on offense so if the Chargers go 3 and out once or twice in the first half they can be 3 touchdowns in the hole... Lets run it up on these loud mouth fluffs from the border.

The fans being quiet doesn't surprise me. We have been spoiled by all of the successes around here. But at an NFL game you had better be screaming your behind off. That's the one place complacency is not allowed.

Bill,
I agree with you on the Pats game but I think that Farve and Grant will have good games and the Packers will beat the Giants by 10 points.

1 - Maroney seems to have learned to stop waiting for holes.

2 - Brady keeps on proving it.

3 - I doubt Moss was in the game plan for this game; against the Chargers and Packers/Giants we'll see more of him.

4 - The Patriots' defense has been playing in the clutch whenever they've had to all season.

5 - Indy will be challenged in the division next year not just by Jacksonville but by Tennessee, and Houston is finally showing some muscle.

6 - What I've long heard is that Gillette Stadium is not designed for fans to be loud like Schaefer/Sullivan/Foxboro Stadium was.

7 - So often we've seen teams blitz and get burned by it; no wonder the Patriots save their blitzing.

8 - Heck, Laurence Maroney could be back returning kicks at this rate.

9 - Samuel will bounce back.

10 - I don't agree that homefield is that important to playoff teams - New England could have gone to Indianapolis and pounded the Colts because the Colts were exposed in the second half of this past season for the fraud playoff team they've always been. If you're a great team you're going to win regardless of whether you have to sweep three road playoff games or win all home games.
