so happy the jets nightmare is over!  ;D

The Colts are sending their probowlers to the game!  WHAT!? So much for "resting your starters".  If Manning, Clark, or Wayne gets injured they're going to tar and feather Polian in Indy!

All that says is that theyll abide by the league requirements, which I would assume means they will be present for the festivities.

No way in hell theyre suiting up and playing

Once Prince came out with that song I knew it was over. Other then that one, no excuses here.

You are a better man Walts.  We were outplayed.  You have a right to bitch  (a little right).  I finally saw the replay of your game tonight.  I had listened to it on the radio in the car leaving the other game and couldn't believe the extent to which the announcers made it point to mention that any Viking getting tackled "HELD" onto the ball.  It was getting annoying.

I haven't really paid any attention but did they figure out whose fault the 12 men in the huddle was?

I guess it was Naufahu Tahi as the 12th man. People are still bitching here, and it's getting really old. I'm really sick of Minnesota fans. So typical, just happy to be there. Lots of...If we didn't have Brett Favre we wouldn't have gone that far. And typical Twins fans, just happy to make the playoffs. Doesn't anyone care about the championship? Wasn't that the reason to bring in Favre? If you don't win the championship, in my eyes, it doesn't matter...it's a failure!

Sorry to rehash Vikings talk, but it's still in the news here.

Favre built his legacy losing NFC Championship games.  Of course it ended with a bad INT, so everyone's talking about a 12 men in the huddle call.  Favre could've gotten those 5 yards back the next play with his feet or more with a simple outlet pass, instead he chucks it into a place it couldn't fit.  Surprised?  Not me.  I love the call from the hometown radio guys, "I can't believe what I'm seeing..."  really?  REALLY?! I predicted it.

Who's watching the probowl?  I might actually watch it because I  wanna see if ochocinco returns punts or kicks field goals.

That's what you get for being a Dolphins fan, period! ;)

I love how you kept quiet, biding your time until the inevitable moment arrived. ;D ;D ;D

They really need to have the superbowl the week after the conference championship games...this 2 week thing gets old every year

at least ya'll didn't go any farther! Looking forward to shutting you guys out next season  ;D  ;)

Just messing- phins and jets always have great games, thats why its the best rivalry!

If Freeney has a grade-3 ankle sprain as reported, with torn ligament(s), him being questionable is more like very doubtful

[aMillionDreams]

Superbowl prediction time.  Here's mine

Freeney plays the first series and then sits out the rest of the game but Indy still wins a close one.

Colts 35
Saints 31

[AMightyCaporal]

oof...

I'm giving it to the Saints
Saints 37
Colts 27

[Ruckus]

34 - 30........




[size=20]SAINTS!  WHO DAT?[/size]

[capt. scotty]

Not real sure who wins, but Id be all over Saints +6 if I had money.

I think Freeney makes a very bid impact (not playing). If he does play, I really cant see him being effective.

Id expect each team to get at least 24 or so with a cap at 40 or so and would expect a similar score to yinz all's.

Saints 38
Colts 27

Lots of Big-Screen TV adds around here...

[aMillionDreams]

Wow, I'm the only one to pick the Colts yet.  I'd be cool with either team winning but I think Peyton's experience and awesomeness are going to be the difference.

I'm going with Colts too, but I'd rather see Saints win.

[TEO]

I want to see a hard fought high scoring game where the winner has to work their tail off in the last few minutes to come from behind...

Wouldnt surprise me at all. My main reasoning (outside of Freeney) for leaning toward the Saints is Indy has made it through the playoffs by playing NYJ and Ravens. Looking at their regular season schedule, Houston was the most prolific offense they faced and I think NO is more balanced than them and just better all around.

On the other hand, you could say both those D's are better than NO's though.
