When I say "Finally", it is relative to the 80's and 90's when I was living in Indy and watching them lose again and again.

It's just nice to have a favorite team that's actually kicking some butt. ;D ...even if I am 2,000 miles away now and can't attend any of the home games.

I hear ya. Manning might just be the best ever by the time he hangs them up.

Am I the only one who thinks that Tom Brady is the best QB playing right now? lol

Probably...

He has not been consistent this year. He either does WONDERFUL or HORRIBLE.

50 passer rating or 150, lol!

He's got some pretty serious ratings this year...he has a 97.4 rating and I don't think he's playing bad at all. True not as good as the "perfect" year but the team has changed and he's just coming back off an injury. He had lead his team into the playoffs AFTER a serious injury.

I wouldn't rate him as high as say manning this year or rivers...but they do have better overall team around them too I think.

You should be.

I always thought the debate between Manning (Peyton) and Brady was off base.

I think NFL fans who participated in this argument are finding out this year that it takes both sides of the ball to win games.

New England was very good defensively during their Super Bowl years, while Peyton never had a legit defense..

The year Peyton won the Super Bowl was the year he finally had a serviceable defense. He has a good one this year, but I'm just feeling the Chargers.

IMO, Philip Rivers may be the 2nd best QB. It's definitely a toss up between him, Brady, and Brees.

Lets hope so. But then that creates a dilemma:Who do I pull for in the NFC Championship. I've been following both the Saints and Cowboys since I was a kid.

Yep. We are in the ARKLATEX. When the NFC was on CBS it drove me nuts. The station northwest of us carried the Cowboys and the station northeast of us carried the Saints. I think I wore out the channel knob on a couple of sets changing between games.

Now with Fox if they are playing at the same time we get one game or the other since our cable system only carries one Fox affiliate

Obviously since my Browns aren't in the playoffs, I'm sticking with my Chargers pick. I picked them and the Saints at the beginning of the year, so I'm hoping for that match up... Would be a GREAT game.

Well, INDY is one game closer to the Super Bowl. There were a couple of scary moments with those 2 interceptions, but they got the ball back right away. A solid game and I actually started to feel bad for Baltimore by the end. Nothing went their way. Oh well...
Poor Cardinals got stomped, though. :(

I think the colts are going all the way. The chargers also look really good so have a chance too.

Well I don't care for S.D. at all so I was glad to see Jets win. The officiating was pretty biased, but it wasn't enough for a Chargers victory!

GO COLTS!! ;)

I almost wanted to see Manning go against Favre. But it's gonna be a heck of a Super Bowl this way too! :D
