Sorry Outlander for your Bengals and Newshawk for your Eagles.

Go Cowboys. The monkey is off our backs after 13 long years of losing a playoff game. Onwards to the Vikings next week.

Way to go Dragoon, and your Cowboys. Now all your “boys” need to do is win 11 more play-off games to equal the Steelers p;lay-off wins in the last 13 years(including 2 Super Bowls.
But seriously, they looked real good tonight.
Also, sorry about your bengals outlander. Not a big fan, but you guys had a good team this year. Palmer played like poo-poo. And Newshawk, I was rooting for the Eagles. They have always been the team I root for when the Steelers aren’t in it.

Does want new Ice Bowl. :slight_smile:

Congrats, Dragoon… I didn’t get to see but glimpses of the game as I was at work yesterday. Maybe that was a good thing for me.

But as an Eagles fan in Oklahoma, the next month or so is going to be sooooooooooo long! :frowning: :ohmy: :S

WTF :angry:

That was an amazing end-of-game final play by the Cardinals. Sorry Packers fans. :frowning: At least you guys got an extra OT. :wink: You guys got lucky with the missed final FG.

Damn it

I was wrong for 3 of the 4 games and the one I called right was the one I wanted to be wrong(I had the “Boys” beating the Eagles)

Our defense was ridiculously weak. It was the worst since early season. Offensive problems too…ugh.

No matter how good a team is, with the league so close in terms of talent nowadays… it’s very difficult to win twice in a row - hence my nervousness as well for the boys yesterday.

So you’re to blame! :angry:

this topic made me think of this picture, that’s etched into my brain thanks to my odd childhood.

J-E-T-S Jets Jets Jets

Dang for all the flack Dallas gets San Diego is just as bad.

Oh wait the Cowboys lost too :stuck_out_tongue: :slight_smile:

I have Colts winning it all.

mita don’t be jealous cause we got one step ahead of you. :wink:

I knew the Vikings game was going to be difficult. It’s tough to go far in the playoffs and win in the kind of atmosphere the metrodome has. Their bye week paid off well, and they were well rested. We cowboys on the other hand looked out of gas. They swarmed on our O-line… no doubt after watching the last few games, realized Romo was truly the key… give him time and he’ll burn you. Romo is not a good QB when under constant pressure (then again, which QB is? ;))

Sorry for your loss dragoon and Rai. Vikings looked great and the Cowboys looked tired. The only team I have left(I picked playoffs down to Superbowl) is the Jets. I picked them to win it all. Something about their defense makes me think they can beat anybody. I think the Vikings have the NFC locked up.
