They could easily be 5-5 if some of those games broke differently.Say it with me, 8 and 2 ****************.

True...but things didn't break differently. They won those games. You could say that about any number of teams. I live in Houston and that thinking got Texans fans through the offseason. Last year they could have been 11-5, yada yada.
Their record is their record. They did what they had to do to win. A little luck never hurts, but they still have to make plays.
Are they as good as their record? You could say that the Lions are a better team than their record shows. When it comes down to the big game can the Jets pull it out.
Hopefully we'll get the chance to find out...Though an argument can be made that these last minute wins have all been big games. The first couple were on the road, and last week was against a team that trampled the Patriots. The bottom line is that they made the plays when they had to.
Are they as good as their record? Yes. It's hard to measure what ifs, because at this point it doesn't matter. What matters is that they have 8 wins and 2 losses. Ugly or not...
And I could have had a 9" penis. The fact is, they are 8-2. Good teams find ways to win.
EDIT: And if we had Santonio Holmes since game 1, we'd be 10-0.

Seriously.... The giants could be 1-7 if they broke differently. Give me a break a win is a win. Come on now. Boy you are getting as bad the LTD about apple as you are to NY teams.

Falcons putting the Rams away
And what's up with Vince Young??
What a head case
Fisher says he is done with him

Good going today. I think you can take the NFC but I think the Giants are a, well, sleeping Giant. Get past them, and you have the prospects of teams like NE and IND (who I favor to go to the Super Bowl) to face and that's pretty scary.
It's not as if you just barely beat up the Rams so your are on track this year not only go get into the playoffs, but to probably get there by dominating the NFC. Your 8-2 is the best anyone can claim right now. I had my doubts but you guys are the real thing, as some said weeks ago, but there is little to challenge 8-2. Who is with that record in the NFC?

How about this back to back interceptions from the Ravens today? I love THOSE birds!

The Giants played a great game and had an awesome defensive plan. Their offense wasn't able to put it together. The Eagles also had a lot of missed opportunities and bad penalties. All in all, I thought it was a good game and I am glad that my team came out on top.

looks to be some trouble with Vince Young and Jeff Fisher I dont see why Fisher Pulled him, granted you dont go throwing out your uniform after the game but I think the Titans need to look for another coach 1 superbowl in 10 years and I don't rember the last time the titans have been to the AFC Championship.
Fisher pulled him because Young was injured, Young threw a fit and threw his uniform. Young is a baby and is probably done with the team.
Amazing, isn't it. I thought early on they were the team to beat.
I think we may have to start taking Macdawg's Falcons seriously.
Maybe this years Atlanta is last years Saints. Date with destiny and all.
Last night you had an Eagles with a QB who couldn't even throw for a single touchdown and you had a confused Giants offense and defense who literally didn't know where the ball was at times (reminds me of my hs football team years ago).
Who can stop Atlanta now? If anybody, it appears it will have to be an AFC team in the Super Bowl. Jets anyone? (I still favor Indy or NE even though those teams have shown us they can suck, too). Experience may be the key factor for the AFC champions and this could be Manning's last good year and one of Brady's last good years. I hope both Manning and Brady retire on a Super Bowl win the way John Elway did. I don't think either is as tough as Elway was (nobody was in his era) so it will have to happen soon for Manning and Brady.
Elway was the one who could have and should have been the 40 year old QB in the NFL and not Favre. While smart, Elway seemed to be able to take numerous hard hits to the head and not get flustered. He may have had a solid skull.
I couldn't believe how my 49ers spent years trying to take him out of the game and he was as stable as a bronze statue. The Browns repeatedly nailed the guy without shaking the man and those were days when the dirty hits were not only legal, but encouraged. And Elway could take a hit to the knee, limp a bit, and just get up and toss three touchdowns which was uncanny.So if Brady and Manning are healthy in the postseason, then they will be a real threat to Atlanta. But Atlanta can certainly stop the pass as well as harass quarterbacks so they will have to be able to handle the aggressive defenses of both NE and Indy. Anyway, it's fun speculating so see if the seemingly unbeatable Falcons have a vulnerability.
A Falcons-Jets Super Bowl (Falcons-NE and Falcons-Indy not nearly as interesting) will be a fun one to watch and I don't know of many who would have predicted this in the beginning of the season, but then what sports betters thought the World Series would have had the Rangers vs. the Giants?

Next to Dan Marino, Brett Favre is the most prolific quarterback since the mid-1960s with all stats taken into consideration. Favre has nothing left to prove and the only thing he is showing us is that he too can get old and decline. I don't know what Favre is shooting for at this point except to reach 80,000 yards passing or 600 TDs.
It's sad to see. But history will show Favre with most TDs and yards, and not Marino, Montana, Brady, Testaverde, Elway, Bradshaw, Staubach, Stabler, Unitas, Tarkenton, Steve Young, or Manning as the greatest who ever played the QB position game by game in the regular season. One of the best today, Brady, would have to keep up a high profile for another 12 years to surpass Favre's numbers.
And as a bonus for Favre, history will show he could still get it up while using a smart phone (kinda?).
EDIT: What I said about the Viking's QB was probably not true, it's more likely Favre is actually so old he probably texted somebody else's appendage.

Is it really Childress's fault that the Vikings suck. Who's idea was it to bring in an aging QB that has more interceptions than passes. Why not get rid of Favre too.
At least we have a working defense. Unlike what Rex wants us to believe.Giants can haz pumpkin too?
I agree with dumping Favre.
The Vikings can start over now and Favre, as great as he was once having been the most prolific, now reminds me of MJ when he had no business on the basketball court post-Bulls.
If Favre goes the rest of this season, and one or two more, his QB rating at retirement will be in the toilet.
People may even hate him by the time he leaves. But his numbers overall will put him in the hall of fame and he knows that and that's why I think he keeps on trying for just one more season.
We remember when he was great and that history is why teams still keep him on. He has to have the class to leave this season, no matter the outcome. 20 seasons in football? There's no way he can drink from the fountain of youth and get a second wind.
It's has been over for Favre.
Favre, along with maybe one day Peyton Manning (now 34) and of course Elway (retired at 38) before that, are the only ones I could think of who are what I would call viable/reliable starters past the age of 35.
Unless a team is willing to take a QB who will toss twice as many interceptions as TDs, they shouldn't touch Favre. Make the dude some sort of assistant coach or something or go into broadcasting.
If he could put his ego away, he could serve two or three seasons as a backup QB somewhere and really contribute to molding new talent.

Couldn't agree more. He should of been done then. I said it then and I will say it now.
Well Titans Owner Told Young and Fisher that Young will not be going anywhere this season or in the future and told to work things out. He is on the IR though. Which tells me if the titans miss the playoffs I would not be shocked if titans look to make some coaching changes, cause I just think flat out Fisher does not like Young at all.
