Um, actually, you won't.

Thanks in part to Patrick Crayton's two drops on important passes, the Dallas Cowboys will watch as the Giants head to Green Bay to face my Packers. Dallas has not played inspired football in over a month, while the Giants have been on a hot streak as of late. Despite these glaring facts, Dallas still had a chance to win the game at the end, but Romo came up short. Maybe all the talk of him being the next Favre was, in fact, premature. He clearly has a long way to go. And by the way, anyone who doesn't see right through T.O.'s "tearful" backing of his QB is either blind or painfully naive. T.O. found a clever way to deflect criticism from himself while not throwing his QB completely "under the bus", as the NFL network likes to say. I'm not buying it. Luckily he has until next season to get his acting skills up to par. And Crayton has until next season to rethink his trash-talking-to actual skill ratio. News flash: His trash-talking far outweighs his skill.

Let me be the first to say that while I saw the Giants upset coming a mile away, I was as shocked as most non-Charger fans to see them knock off Indy. In Indy. Without being 100%. I was so happy to know that we would not have to endure another "holier than thou" Colts team in the Super Bowl.

It's nice to see that Peyton Manning is back to his usual self--good regular season, choke in the playoffs. Is anyone else seeing what I've been saying for years? Peyton Manning is over-rated. I said it, and I am sticking by it. He is only the 3rd best QB in football right now, and it's not even close. the man has been surrounded by talent for so long that his numbers will be great, but he is not as good as the numbers project.

I have come to a conclusion about the Chargers. I have thought that L.T. has been a whiny, sore loser for the past 2 years, but I didn't realize that Rivers is a ####. Seriously, I know he had a good game, but who does he think he is? talking trash to ANY crowd (even Indy or Dallas) is a "class-less" move, as L.T. would say. BTW, why is it a travesty when the Patriots mock his team, but fine when his team makes complete A$$es out of themselves? Can we say hypocritical?

The Patriots looked good and Brady looked phenomenal aginst the vaunted Jaguars defense. It was nice to see Brady have a great game without Moss (I know--he was still a factor for coverage), but he actually seems to do better when he is not forcing passes to Moss. Congrats to New England, and I hope they can knock off San Diego next week. I am already tired of L.T. and Rivers.

Finally, my beloved Packers. i have to admit, I was worried when they went down 14-0. This score, coupled with increasing snow, seemed to set up a recipe for Favre INTs. However, the Packers stuck with Grant, who turned into a phenomenal game on the ground. Favre was great through the air, and the defense was solid, especially when they didn't have to defend from their own 4 yard-line. Every week, the Packers look more dangerous. Watch out to any team they have to face.

Saturday's games had a theme, as did Sunday's. Saturday's theme was great QB play, coupled with great a running attack, for home team victories. Sundays games showed more QB management of the game, along with under-performances by two of the "premier" QBs in the league, resulting in inexcusable home losses. I am not saying or guaranteeing that GB and NE are Super Bowl bound, but they have great chances. Good luck to both teams next week.

until then,
