And at this point, I think I'll cheer for any team but the Pats.

Yeah Best team in football that played nothing like they've been playing all season soooooo.

In any case congrats. Glad we have home field but giants are playing really really good right now so I'm not taking anything for granted.

If smith plays the same way as this week though, I've got to say niners are taking it.

If you don't come to play, you don't deserve to win. Giant's also got completely HOSED by the officials. That fumble call was one of the worst I've ever seen.

The Niners are a tough team. Should be a great game.

You'd be hard pressed to find a time that rises up in tough games more than the Giants. If they need to win, they step their game huge.

Ask the Patriots.

Completely agree, you guys came ready to play. What I'm saying is you didn't beat a packer team playing on all cylinders, like I said though you guys deserve to win cause even if they were ready you guys prolly still would have won they way you guys were playing.

Two tough teams, both with character and passion. Next week will not disappoint.

I'm pulling for Big Blue but if San Fran wins, I'll be happy for Jim Harbaugh. I don't have any love for the Ravens but, I would LOVE to see Gronkowski get served some humble pie by Ray Lewis.

i'm happy with either outcome. either baltimore plays the giants for a superbowl XXXV rematch (with hopefully the same outcome)...or we play the 49ers and we have a harbaugh VS harbaugh sibling rivalry game.

of course this is all contingent on whether or not we beat the patriots...which i have major doubts on, but trying to stay positive.

Sorry, Walshie...your team's won enough. Then again, so has the Giants and 9ers. But, at least in the case of the 9ers, they've gone through some dark years.


And putting up with TOwned. So, I suppose I'd root for them.

I would have phrased it a bit more diplomatically. Here's how I think of the teams:

-Giants. Unless they are in the process of beating the Packers, they can DIAF.
-49ers. Lots of promise. Jim Harbaugh needs to not reach the pinnacle of coaching success in his first year lest his ego become so large that California sinks into the ocean.
-Ravens. Simply not good enough.
-Pats. I love how Belichik winning makes so many people who are convinced that he's Satan apoplectic.

He does, but he channels it into evil rather than irrational exuberance or overconfidence, so I find him a sympathetic character.

He also cheats. The other guy is just enthusiastic. I won't fault enthusiasm.

This is all well and good, but where's Fatmantits1? A Packers loss without him to gloat at is like an M&M without the candy coating.

Oh, and I hope that Clay Matthews and A.J. Hawk take this bonus vacation time as an opportunity to get haircuts so that it doesn't look like the Packers hired Lynryd Skynyrd as their defense.

The way they played yesterday, I'm sorry, begs the question: What defense...?

Ohhhhhh...was wondering why security was dressed up in Packers gear. I have a great deal to learn from this game of NA football still.
