I would like to see a team who has not ever won a super bowl win one for a change? The Eagles, the last time they even went to the plays offs in 1980 they lost to the Raiders. If that's not enough to seal the cake, there is nothing that should keep them from winning a championship this year.

Huh? The Eagles were in the Superbowl in 2005. They lost to the Pats.

Are you familiar with the NFL? And what does "seal the cake" mean?

The team that has never won a superbowl that I want to see win one is the Vikings.
 
oh yes, the Vikings, I started watching them after the Monday night victory over Green bay in 98. Well, I got mixed up in what I was talking about. I was just thinking about when I was into football. I followed the vikings but, they are missing a lot of players. They have a new everything. Since the sudden death of there offensive tackle the team hasn't been the same. they didn't want to use him as a stepping stone out of respect. To say they came apart and now it's cool. The vikings, have it rough. After losing just about all of there coordination What else is there to do?

Sorry, Cowboy fan. But Barber being out makes a big difference. The Boys have one of the best D-Lines in the league and Ware at LB. That's what has gotten them this far. But what happened in the last four minutes even I can't explain. And it reminded me a lot of what happened against the Steelers. One thing you can bet on: Wade Phillips is out.
 
do Dallas fans really think jason garrett can fix the mess and win?
i think they overvauled romo as a starter because he shows no ability to win big games. september and october wins do not make a star december and january wins do

Tennessee is up against it. Facing a Steelers team with a full head of steam. But they beat Baltimore on the road. Though they are without DT Haynesworth for the rest of the season. Bosch is out too. This is no time to be without two of your best defensive players, even against Pitt's so-so offense. Schaub put on a clinic last week. Can Roeth do the same? A win puts Pitt into the driver's seat as the Number 1 seed. Away we go...
 
Although there are a lot of good records this year. A wild card should be impressive, I just don't think this is going to be a regular season. Watch out for the wild card spot.
 
Can anyone figure out the NFL lately? Tennessee layeths the smacketh on the Steelers..The Chargers FINALLY look like something decent. The Bucs went Tampa Bay on us at the wrong time...The Pats look like they have activated ***** Mode. The Fish gut out a win in subarctic KC...Minny is playing awful at home when they have everything to gain with a win. The Cowboys imploded on Legends Night at the final game of ol' Texas Stadium...

I think Wade Philips is gone. I'd probably get rid of Jason Garrett and TO as well. Cowboy offensive playcalling has been a mystery this season, to say the least. Romo seems to play better when he's not having to throw it to TO. I don't trust Romo to win a Playoff game, but I do think Romo plays better when he's throwing to the other Cowboy WRs and Witten exclusively. TO just isn't worth the hassles. Hell, the Boys can get rid of TO in the offseason and sign Chad Johnson. He wants to be a Cowboy...

If Jerry Jones had a brain the size of his ego...he might put in a call to The **** and hire Jim Harbaugh. The Boys need somebody with some swagger on Offense. Jim Harbaugh is a badass.
 
Should the NFL ditch the NFC/AFC Divisional alignment and go to a "Single Table" arrangement? Isn't this the "fairest" way to determine and match the best teams? The playoffs would match the best 8, top to bottom, period. No "division champ" auto bids.

The current divisional arrangement rewards mediocrity (Arizona, Philly, Dallas) and punishes the truly deserving (Atlanta, New England, Miami)...year after year after year....

No to make it truly fair they would have to extend the season to something like over sixty games where each team plays each other twice, once away and once at home. Since that is pretty much impossible they might as well have divisions. At least that way you know who the opponents are you have to directly compete with. Plus it would suck for some people where they might go years without their favorite team playing a traditional rival.
 
They shouldn't ditch the alignment but they should have teams from other counties play each other on a holiday, just for recognition.

Atlanta is in. New England and Miami can still get in. Why are they not in yet? Hmm, Tennessee, Pittsburgh, and Indianapolis. Dallas will not get in. Philadelphia is not mediocre. If they are then throw Miami and New England in there. The only team you say that is mediocre that will be in the playoffs is Arizona. Yes, you can throw San Diego/Denver in too. NFL has the best playoff system of ALL sports in USA. What are you bitching about? The best teams always get in. It isn't like a wannabe team like Tampa Bay or Washington will get in over a team that does deserve it. :1orglaugh
 
If they played a team from Canada or Europe. I don't want to say have them play an arena bowl team because that is a different game. They are all different leagues. That is why I would like to see them play each other. What do you mean counties or countries?
