The Saints, I believe are the only team in the NFL who can match the Patriots offense and beat them in a shootout.

Saints - Steelers would be a great game.  Saints already beat them this year but all bets are off in the playoffs

Right now the Pats look almost unbeatable, but February is a long ways off.

The Eagles are exciting to watch, and they would give Pitt a tussle, but no match for the Pats, not the way they are playing right now at least.

so don't come with that excuse.

Which two teams would be the best Match up in Arlington TX Super Bowl Sunday.

Steelers - Eagles
Steelers - Saints
Patriots - Eagles
Saints - Eagles

Do I have a match up here that can't happen because of the playoffs. Where is that damn Hardy when you need him.

Oh, feel free to add your own match up not covered above.

I vote . . . .

Steelers Eagles and the winner will be  . . .    I'll wait.

But that would be a great matchup.

Steelers - Falcons

especially this past Sunday night when their running game went through the Cowboys defense like greased lightning. LeSean McCoy is no Brian Westbrook, yet anyway, but he is definitely getting there.

Btw, what's your take on Andy Reid's quarrel with the NFL officials for not penalizing defenses for their hits on Vick, that they would call on Manning or Brady? I agree with Reid. Vick got sandwiched on one play by two Dallas defenders, and both of them had helmet to helmet contact on Vick, and it was not called.

And that bullshit call on the Eagles' runback catcher Gavin in the end zone for hitting the Cowboys' Bell? Watching the replay, Bell pushed Gavin twice, and then hit him in the throat before Gavin retaliated. Yet Gavin got the flag. The officiating this year sucks. Two blatant facemask offenses were not called either. Todd Herremanns almost got his head ripped off, and it was not called. Of course, the Eagles got away with their shit as well, but hey, I'm an Eagles fan, what am I gonna say, lol.

Newbie here. Good to see the sports talk. Other boards miss that element. Sports is my favorite thing next to pussy, lol.

My first mind says wait to see who has homefield, but based on who's leading right now in the NFC, it won't matter. I predicted Eagles-Steelers at the start of the season just because it felt like one of those years where two troubled QB's got a measure of vindication. Thus far I'm sticking with it. I'm a Saints fan but I realize how hard a repeat is. But they ARE playing damn good ball at the right time.

I'd like to see:

Falcons-Patriots for the QB matchup
Saints-Patriots for the same and to see the sour Belichik face he had from last seasons slaughter.
Eagles-anybody, just to see Vick go for broke.
Saints-Chiefs because of all the LSU boys playing there home state squad

I think the Saints can repeat but it will be an uphill battle because the nFC is strong and the top of the AFC might be stronger than the nFC period.

homefield advantage and there is no way the Jaguars, the steelers, will be able to win in Foxboro. In addition I like how Bellichik has drafted a multitude of young defenders and now they are understanding his disciplined defense. Did I mention, Patriots have best QB in the business? Brady spreads the ball in the rain, sun and snow, he is like the US Post Office. He always delivers.

The Falcons, how come no one is talking about perhaps the most complete team in the NFL? Terrific smart QB, great coaching, excellent WR's, solid running game and defense. The Falcons have a couple of fast young RBs in reserve, that are ready to be unleashed. When Falcons meet the Eagles they are going run straight up the middle against their soft cover 2. Ilike Chargers but I don't see Phillip Rivers as a good cold weather QB.

By the way, I am one who is sad to see Brett Favre's streak broken. It makes me feel old.

Yes, I would love to put some money on it, if only I could find anyone stupid enough to bet with.

Vick not only runs like a reciever or running back, he also gets treated like one by the officials. II don't think it's fair either, but maybe that's the price he pays for being so elusive?

As to Gavin and Bell, that's been going on since the beginning of football. It's usually the guy that retaliates that gets flagged, nothing new about that.

so if you want to go with that story, go for it. lol

liorr OTOH, I wonder what kind of wager he had in mind? I would be willing to lay some big, big odds that the Eagles and Saints WON'T be meeting in the Super Bowl. lol

yeah, even for liorr, that was pretty fucking stupid. Ok, not pretty stupid, REALLY FUCKING STUPID!!! lmao

Yeah, like they hold back on the white QB's, and only hit the black ones. Give me a fucking break.

how did they work out for you?  
Who Dat!
Geaux Saints!

I wonder how much I could get liorr to wager on that? lmao

Hey I'm allowed that, hell I leave teams off my bet card all the time. Damn near every week in fact. LOL

THey seem to rise to the challenge when playing a good team (Steelers), or sink below the level of a bad team (Cleveland).  They seem to be firing on all cylinders now which is a good time to peak.  

Now I gotta go stick some more pins in the Falcons voodoo doll

Geaux Saints,

so piss off Liorr

You f*cking child!!!!!

Were you not paying attention when Brady got hit (ILLEGALLY!!) in the 1st game of '08?!?
If you weren't, there was NO PENALTY!!!
This shit happens to EVERYONE no matter their race, you dumb f*ck!!!
ALL players are hit!!!
Did you see Van den Bosch and Suh CRUSHING Brady on Turkey Day (some hits 'marginal' after the throw)?!?!?
WAS THAT RACIST?!?!?!?

THIS IS, WITHOUT A DOUBT, THE MOST ASSININE THING I'VE EVER SEEN POSTED HERE!!!!
(And that means 'stupid' in case your vocabulary does not include 8 letter words!)
