NFL Playoffs: NFC Championship Green Bay Packers vs New York Giants
January 20, 2008
Last year around this time, everyone was wondering whether or not future NFL hall of famer Brett Favre should retire, most people said he should hang them up and go out as one of the toughest, passionate quarterbacks all-time, but man how he has proved everyone wrong leading his Green Bay Packers one game away from his third Super Bowl appearance.
Earlier in the NFL season, it was projected that Green Bay and the Dallas Cowboys would almost certainly be playing in the NFC Championship game, but with the impressive play by Eli Manning and his tenacious defense, the Giants are surprising everyone on their road to the Super Bowl.
Green Bay will be the obvious favorite to win Sunday’s game at a really, really cold Lambeau Field, but New York has been somewhat of an ultimate underdog by being underestimated the entire season from coach Tom Coughlin on the hot seat to questions on whether Eli could lead this team to the promise land, so you can never count these boys out, but with Brett Favre playing the best football maybe ever, it will be either an all out battle between these NFC powerhouses or a blowout much like Green Bay’s last game against the Seattle Seahawks last weekend.

NFL Football Playoffs: Two Big NFL Playoffs Upsets
January 14, 2008
Coming into Sunday’s two NFL playoff match ups with Indianapolis Colts against the San Diego Chargers and the Dallas Cowboys taking on the New York Giants, both the Colts and Cowboys were favored by at least a touchdown to win, but that was not even close to what happen in Indianapolis and Dallas when all was said and done.
NFL Football: Brett Favre is Better Then Ever!
January 13, 2008
It’s official, the Green Bay Packers are going back to the NFC championship game and Brett Favre is playing the best football we have seen him play, maybe ever!
NFL Football Playoffs: New England Patriots Do the Impossible and the NFL Playoff is Officially Set
January 4, 2008
Well, I guess it was a for gone conclusion, but it looks like Tom Brady, Randy Moss and Bill Belichick have made history and redefined perfection in the NFL.
16-0 is finally a realization for what may be the best team in NFL history in the New England Patriots; Tom Brady was on his game as usual even though the New York Giants came to play and weren’t backing down an inch. Brady finished the season with a new NFL record 50
NFL Football Week 14: Patriots Still Perfect at 13-0…Vote Brady Best QB
December 10, 2007
Coming into their game against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday, the Patriots were facing probably their last real challenge of the season in their campaign for an undefeated season going up against Pittsburgh’s defense which is ranked number 1 in the league; at least before the Patriots put 34 points on them.
Tom Brady came out firing in this game, passing for two quick touchdowns to Randy Moss in the first half and finishing the game with a total of four touchdown tosses which breaks Dan Marino’s record of games with three or more touchdowns in a season with 11 games. Needless to say the Steelers’ defense didn’t really live up to the number one ranking as the Patriots rolled over them 34-13.
NFL Football Week 12: Thanksgiving Feast for Two Elite NFL Quarterbacks
November 25, 2007
Quarterbacks Brett Favre and new comer Tony Romo were in top form once again when they took on their opponents on Thanksgiving Day. All season long, these two extremely talented quarterbacks have been going back and forth with great performances on a weekly basis with Favre showing that isn’t even close to being finished or washed up in the NFL and Tony Romo being more than ready to fill his shoes as the NFC’s top quarterback.
On Thanksgiving Day both Favre and Romo kept their winning streaks alive with Favre and his Packers going up against the Detroit Lions and Romo facing the New York Jets. Even though the Jets were coming off a big win against the Pittsburgh Steelers to play the Dallas Cowboys, Favre and the Packers definitely had the bigger challenge against the Lions and he didn’t not fail to disappoint by throwing for 381 yards and 3 touchdowns beating
Just a few hours later, Tony Romo set a team record by having the best start EVER by for the Dallas Cowboys by going 11-1 after easily putting down the New York Jets 34-3. Romo didn’t have the big day Favre did, but he still put up some good numbers throwing for 195 yards and 2 touchdowns.
The true test for both of these quarterbacks and their one loss teams will be next Thursday on November 29th when these two NFC heavyweights square off against each other. People said the Patriots vs Colts game was going to be, well I think this match up might be even better as one of these two teams will most likely be the one to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl in Arizona come February.

NFL Football Week 11: Sunday Matchups
November 18, 2007
Week 11 has arrived and a few questions remain, but some of the most important ones have been answered. Officially, the New England Patriots are the best team in the NFL this season and quite possibly all-time. After they pulled out a win on Indianapolis home turf, it seemed as if the Patriots barely got by, but after seeing the Peyton Manning and the Colts completely implode against the San Diego Chargers last week I think it is pretty safe to say that the Patriots are the top dogs.
The real question now is, “Who is the next best team in the NFL?” The answer is The Dallas Cowboys, lead by superstars Tony Romo and wide receiver Terrell Owens. After beating up division rival New York Giants on Sunday 31-20, it seems safe to say that the Cowboys own their division and the NFC, Romo was as efficient as ever with 247 yards passing, 4 touchdowns and 1 interception. Terrell Owens had a breakout game as well being Romo favorite target with 6 catches, 125 yards and 2 touchdowns.
Although
The Dallas Cowboys and Green Bay Packers will have a showdown to see who is the top dog in the NFC on a Thursday night in week 13; it should be a good one and possibly a preview of the NFC championship.
Sunday’s Must See Match Ups:
The Browns have to be the surprise of the season at 5-4 ahead of the Ravens and the Bengals in the AFC North, there is no way they are going to win the division with Pittsburgh playing the way they are, but they will make a good run at the wildcard, so look for them to take down their division foe on Sunday
The Chargers are coming off a huge win over the Colts, but people are calling it a fluke because their offense was non existent, so look for them to make an example of a good Jaguars squad, but Jones-Drew and company have a good shot of taking them down
The Giants are recuperating from a disappointing loss to the Cowboys and the Lions having been upsetting good teams all season with a high powered offense, so this should turn out to be a good one with a good defense taking on a good offense
The Texans are finally back to full strength with quarterback Matt Schaub and wide receiver Andre Johnson coming back, the Saints licking their wounds from a beating by a winless Rams squad, look for both teams to try and prove they are still in the hunt for the playoffs
The Bengals have been really struggling this season with an offense that should be unstoppable, but isn’t and the Cardinals are showing signs of life after beating the Lions convincingly, both teams will be looking to destroy the other on Sunday
