As I said in the playoff thread, I think the matchup favors the Giants. Pats DBs stink. The Giants have multiple receiving targets. Manning is great under pressure. On the other side of the ball, the Giants' d-line is at the top of the game right now. The Pats don't have a running game to keep the heat off Brady. I expect a repeat of the game earlier this season...except the Giants are better now.
Personally, I don't care who wins, but I'm hoping for a close game. I expect to be disappointed.
What's at stake historically? Belichick doesn't need another ring for the Hall of Fame, but it will silence the SpyGate doubters (you can say he cheated all you want; if you don't think he understands football at a deeper level than at least half of the current pro coaches, you aren't watching the same games I am).
A second ring for Manning puts him in an elite class of champion QBs (but people need to stop this crap about how it would make him better than Peyton. Peyton is the best pure passer the game has ever seen.). Only Brady, Montana, Bradshaw and Bart Starr have 2 or more SB MVPs.
A second ring for Tom Coughlin puts him into an elite class of coaches and would make him a lock for the Hall.
Gronkowski has an outside shot to be the first tight end SB MVP. (But if he gets the ball that much, they'll probably give it to Brady anyway. It's a bs award anyway.).

And in case you were wondering, no, the site isn't totally full of miscreants and misanthropes. I mean, sure, I am, but there are nice people here too. Just be cool and don't be a jerk.
Let's be extra clear.
I'd love to see more of this:

As a whole, it'd be great for this forum to break the mad cycle of cheeseburger eating felines.
I also need to see way more of this:

NFL playoffs 2011

Last week, I thought the only real surprises were that the Falcons and Steelers played so poorly.
I'm relieved that a modern NFL defense was finally able to derail the Tebow Train of Godawful QB Play. Thank you Bill Belichick. Thank you for restoring my belief that the level of play in the pros is higher than in college. Maybe now people can start appreciating Cam Newton and his decimation of rookie QB records.
The 49ers/Saints game was better, of course. I couldn't believe New Orleans was able to hang in after giving up 4 quick turnovers. So many mistakes yet they were only 17-14 down. Really impressed by the 49ers front four. They put pressure on Brees all game. Alex Smith had moments of brilliance in the fourth quarter, but it's hard to gush about either quarterback: the cornerback play on both sides was terrible. Still, all the lead changes in the last two or three minutes made for a great finish.
I'm looking forward to 49ers vs Packers/Giants. I don't think one match-up is better than another. In the AFC, I'd probably prefer to see Patriots vs. Ravens but only because I haven't seen the Texans as much this year and I don't know what Yates is going to give you in a playoff game.

1987 Crystal Light National Aerobic Championship - San Francisco Bay Team

Sometimes the Gawker comments section has absolute gems. This is the 1987 Crystal Light National Aerobic Championship (the Super Bowl of Aerobics and crystalline drink mixes), featuring the San Francisco Bay Team. But you already knew that.
Last week of the NFL season 2011

Once again, the Jets came up small in a big game, and their playoff hopes are slim. If they squeak through, Ryan will give his "it's all about the playoffs" speech and will continue to ignore the team's glaring holes. It is all about the playoffs. But it's also about having a team that can be successful in the playoffs--this is not that team. The regular season record is a strong indicator of a team's relative strength, and the Jets' 8-7 record, which includes only one win against a team with a winning record (the 8-7 Cowboys in week 1), tells you all you need to know.
The Giants are built to destroy the Cowboys. Top 5 or 6 passing attack against a weak secondary. Good pass rush. Banged up Romo. Romo's history in playoff games (and this is a playoff game, for all intents and purposes). I'd pick the Giants, over 46.
Raiders play Chargers, who are eliminated. Broncos play the Chiefs. Raiders need a win and Denver loss to get the division and a playoff berth (and to end the Tebow luck madness). I love that the schedules end on division games. Division rivalries are the strongest, and they ensure fewer no-shows for the last week of the regular season. Rooting for the Raiders, but I don't know how the Chargers will approach this game. If it's last week's team, then Oakland wins.

Directv, why do you curse me?

Pointless complaining, but still...the new Directv software adds more interface clicks for the user to access his/her recorded programs. That's crappy design.
