Re: The NFL Thread
Why would it amuse you if you're a Redskins fan? I know hating Belichick and Brady is an easy thing...
The Ravens can beat New England, I just don't know if they will. Brady has been clutch this year, but they don't have a single victory against a winning team and two of their three losses were against playoff teams (Giants, Steelers)...that has to mean something. I know you play who you play, out of the 12 playoff teams this year, the Ravens have swept three of them (Steelers, Houston, Cincinnati).
That Denver-New England game was embarrassing. Maybe I'm completely offbase, but I don't understand why you wouldn't play your back-up QB when you're winning by 4 TDs...and to have Brady punt the ball on third down? I was praying someone came low...disgraceful in my opinion, but that's Belichick for you. I've always believe there really is no such thing as running up the score in the NFL, but when you're one victory from the Super Bowl and your All-Universe QB is still out there taking snaps when there's nothing to gain from it...I don't get it.
The Giants-49ers game is a toss up, the spread proves that. The SF defense has been more consistent, but the NYG's offense is more explosive. A really good matchup. Regardless of who comes out on top this Sunday, the Super Bowl will have interesting headlines. A rematch of Super Bowl XXXV (NYG-BAL), a rematch of Super Bowl XLII (NYG-NE), the Harbaugh Bowl (SF-BAL), or Brady-Belichick making their fifth Super Bowl Appearance against the 49ers.
