That's right, Diss. SF WAS a playoff team last year, so why wouldn't they still be good. The only quibbles was how they would deal with a new coach. Even though it was the Bears, they seemed to deal with them fine (put up the most points this weekend of any team).

My prediction:
NFC - Tampa beats Philly and repeats
AFC - Does it matter?
Oakland beats TennesseeComment

How can you possible have the SAME NFC and AFC Championship Game? Have you even been watching football since 1998?
It's parity man, things change at a rapid pace in this league.
Oh, and don't forget about KC as well. If their D is any better, they could be dangerous.“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

Just heard something interesting on ESPN. Apparently the last two Superbowl winners (TB and NE) LOST their first game. So look at the losers to see who'll go this year
... maybe that is what Miami was thinking.

I'll take Allen over Payton, Ming. You can't deny that it is close.“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

Allen over Payton? Blasphemy!Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the moments that take your breath away.

I did just look at the stats... one that POPS out is the difference in number of carries. Al Davis did not like Allen too much. That's the reason he gets 200 carries a year while #1 backs like Payton got 300 carries at least (usually get 300-400 carries per season).
I consider Allen-Payton to be similar to the difference between (Emmitt) Smith- (Barry) Sanders. Stat wise, Emmitt wins easily, but many will say Barry was the better back.“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

If we compare:
Allen:
Att: 3022
Yards: 12,243
YPC: 4.1
TD: 123
Payton:
Att: 3838
Yards: 16,728
YPC: 4.4
TD: 110
It looks much closer when you look at Yards per Carry and TDs.“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

I'm sorry, did you take Emmitt Smith over Barry Sanders?

Well, Emmitt is the all-time leader.
But, you're right, barry was the best pure back by a mile."Perhaps a new spirit is rising among us. If it is, let us trace its movements and pray that our own inner being may be sensitive to its guidance, for we are deeply in need of a new way beyond the darkness that seems so close around us." --MLK Jr.Comment

Gee... looking at the numbers... it isn't close.
Big difference between 4.1 and 4.4 when you consider the numbers of attempts.
And 38% more yards...
Payton easily
