Are You Ready for Some Football - Play Offs

[Imran Siddiqui]

Ok, I did some more research. Aside from the 1981 strike shortened year, there have been only TWO 9 win teams that have made it to the SuperBowl and only ONE since the adoption of the 16 game season. Those teams are the 1979 LA Rams (9-7) and the 1968 Green Bay Packers (who were 9-4-1).

That's IT! Every other SuperBowl team has had at least 10 wins, even in the 14 game season!

Source?

Stop trying to pretend like you don't fear the Rams Imran.

I checked every year back to 1966. Funny that you ask me for a source to disprove your statement that 'plenty' of 9-7 teams have gone to the SuperBowl... are you admitting you were talking out of your ass?

And I don't really fear the Rams. The Falcons beat them back when they played them earlier this season.

Well, I was going to root for the Vikings in the NFC since my dad's a fan of them, but not after Moss's 4th-quarter TD stunt.

My god, what an ass. I'll root for the Vikings again if he gets injured next week or hit by a bus or something.

That was completely uncalled for and incredibly unsportsmanlike.

That's funny... because of him, I'm actually tempted to cheer for the Vikings now.

Actually 1 is plenty.

They not only beat them. They creamed them. But if your Falcons don't fear my Rams they are setting themselves up for a major upset. The Rams have proven themselves in postseason play, unlike your team. A playoff game is much different from a regular season game. And the Rams have twice the talent that the Falcons have. Even my QB has significant playoff experience. Believe you me my stars with playoff experience (Faulk, Holt, Bruce, Pace, Williams and Archuleta) are going to take the game down to the wire. If the Falcons don't think so, they will get beat. You can take that to the bank.

It SOOOO is not! You were caught with your pants down and now are backtracking.

But if your Falcons don't fear my Rams they are setting themselves up for a major upset.

If you fear the other team then you are setting yourself up for losing. You cannot fear your opponent and win. You can recognize that he is dangerous, but to fear him means you've already lost.

You got pwn'ed Kid

Actually 1 is plenty.

Since when does one equal plenty?

This will go down as the year of the road team. Mark it down. Next week, three more road teams win: Colts, Rams, Jets

[Ben Kenobi]

Darn.

At least Peyton is still there.

Go Colts!

[Imran Siddiqui]

Though it is kind of amusing that they have to go through New England again. Either get the monkey off their backs or fail again to beat their nemesis.

[Ben Kenobi]

Everyone has to face their demons.

It's only appropriate that Peyton would have to face his.

I'm a Vikings fan and confidently predicted a Green Bay victory on Sunday. **scratches head** Huh. Just goes to show the Vikings are utterly unpredictable, for better or for worse. Now to get psyched up for Philadelphia.

Packers fans? Hey, maybe next year, huh? Don't feel bad. I'm used to saying that as a Vikings fan. That plus "Damn Vikings!" and "WHAT?! You've got to be kidding me!" and "ARGH!" and ... well, you get the picture.

They go to New England again in 2005 and again in 2006 before they (probably) play the Pats at the RCA Dome in 2007.
