The Packers-Cardinals game was "defense optional" until that last play! I still think the ref swallowed his whistle on that face mask on Rodgers at the end, but I'm a TAD biased...:p

I loved it....but then again? I am a raiders fan.:rolleyes::eek:;)
:) Hey Hello over here in Tx.. Our Dallas Cowboys have decided to play some good ball now.. So lets see if they can stay on the same page of winning until the end of the season..:p
I'm in a quandary who to root for in Vikings vs Cowboys. As a Packers fan I'm obliged to root against the Vikings, especially ever since they signed The Traitor.:p But I don't like the Cowboys, much either. But their quarterback was a long shot to get into the NFL, and from Wisconsin to boot, so maybe...see below!:)
Oh, and Arizona over the Saints. Warner has the hot hand right now.
As far as the AFC: I'm cheering for the Jets and Ravens, because I usually root for the underdog if I don't have a team I feel strongly about (read: Packers) in the playoffs.
I think a Cards vs. Vikings NFC final would be cool, though: the two oldest quarterbacks ever to lead their team to the finals?
You mean you don't tune in to yell at the TV set for three hours?;)Quote:

One, I cannot use anymore.:eek:
The second? I wanted the teams to beat the poop out of each other because they may play a team I wanted to win the following weekend!:eek:;)

So Pete Carroll has a few bad years then defects to the NFL?:o;)
Pete Caroll...the rat jumps from the sinking ship. Will he sink the Seahawks too? Only time will tell :rolleyes: At least though if the rumors about the salary cap are true, Seattle DOES have a lot of money...
I think its their turn to buy a championship. ;)
As for this year, I'm rooting for Arizona all the way! I love every team in Seattles division...with the exception of the Rams.
"Buying" a championship just doesn't work in the NFL. Look at the Redskins. If you buy a lot of stars you end up with a lot of prima donnas, egos and drama. (JMHO);)
Jumping rat scenario.
This IS a pet site.;)
We'll have to see what happens.:eek:
STE,
You are correct, it's a different mindset for pros.
It's called money!:(
I would hope that the Seahawks do better this year and restructure the team because they need it badly...I would feel bad if they got hugely paid players and went further down into the basement. I guess I gotta keep the faith!
Just reported that Lane Kiffen from Tenn. is going to USC.....don't know much about him......
Kiffen coached the Raiders for a bit...that was a story in itself!:eek:Quote:

Kiffen did coach for the OR's and was treated like any other coach for the organization....badly.:eek::( He coached the 07 season!Quote:

Green Bay's Woodson won defensive Player of the Year! Woot!:D

I have it somewhere and will get you the title, a great read for sports/history buffs!
