Color me the same........I'm picking Philly and Baltimore. The Giants defense that ranked 6th overall in sacks (compared to 14th for the Cards) couldn't touch McNabb even once in 3 games, and Philly proved Sunday they can win when the running game isn't working. While Pittsburgh ranked just ahead of Baltimore in overall defense, the Ravens defense seems to be playing at a higher level and forcing turnovers more consistently in key situations.

Man, the Steelers/Ravens game is gonna be a pure street fight, and if the Super Bowl is Baltimore and Philly we could also see some nasty hitting on Super Bowl Sunday. As a former linebacker I'm licking my chops in anticipation.......:D

Picked Arizona for Kurt Warner and that crazy guy that can catch a ball with one hand in any direction! Picked Pittsburgh because I have relatives that live there.

[EyeHeart3D]

I think I'm gonna go with a Pennsylvania Superbowl. That'd be interesting...

Larry Fitzgareld is a beast:D :D :D

He is!

GO CARDS! SUPER BOWL BOUND!

[ZippyApplePants]

Yes they are, and I'm happy for them and their fans.

[Les_Is_More]

Yes it does...especially why he choked so bad today. :D

[ZippyApplePants]

Yes it does...especially why he choked so bad today. :D

:eek: He said it, not me! :D (You're asking for it Les!)

[jrmitch]

Yes it does...especially why he choked so bad today. :DAw, shaddup.........:P :P :D

[Jason]

Aw, shaddup.........:P :P :D

Looks like I took the lead. ;)

[ZippyApplePants]

Aw, shaddup.........:P :P :D

That's it?! That's all the response he is going to get? What would you have said if I'd said what Les did?

[jrmitch]

....I'm happy for them and their fans.I'm also happy for the players and fans, (congratulations, Jason....;) )

But I'm not the least bit happy for owner Billy Bidwell, who for most of his tenure as an owner has been one the stingiest and least liked owners in the league. I'm going to have to pull for the Steelers in the Super Bowl, because as much as I'd like to see the players and fans get a title I don't want to see Bidwell get one. Any owner who would fire his coach; not have the guts to sit down and tell him that he'd been fired; then allow his former coach to find out he'd been fired by showing up at work to find that the locks had been changed on the doors to the team facility doesn't deserve success. At least not in my book.

[ZippyApplePants]

Uh...."Aw, shaddup Zippy".....?? :D

LOL! :P :D Actually, I think you have said something like that to me before, but I've never listened. :D I'm leaning towards the Steelers too. My friend Jeni would never let me hear the end of it if they won and I didn't pick them..

I can't stand Bidwell. But my love for Kurt Warner trumps my dislike of Bidwell.

I am happy for Kurt as well. Thats one of the reasons I was pulling for the Cards. I dont like the Eagles but I certainly do give them props this year. It seems like they came out of nowhere

With one game to go, BlueEyedBeauty and DawnGTW take the lead with 11 points each. LesIsMore and BeGlorifiedInMe are next with 10 points each, but since the Super Bowl is woth 7 points, anyone within striking distance could win.

And I'm not forgetting about Jason. It looks like he already topped me in the moderator competition, so kudos to him for both that and for his Cardinals making it to the big game.

Jason: 15
BlueEyedBeauty: 11
DawnGWTW: 11
LesIsMore: 10
BeGlorifiedInMe: 10
jrmitch: 9
