^ You might recongized that the fact some teams might be better than you think. Washington has pretty solid in pre-season with three wins. Anyone who goes to Seattle in post-season has faced the 12th man. Eli and Peyton can be injured in regular season. Cowboys for one should not put Romo as a starter QB because he been permanently jinxed in post-season play. There are several factors in the regular season that can't be predicted. Giants don't have their best TE anymore traded him away for fresh blood.

Manning versus Manning would be fun to see.
Off topic, but I just realised by the time the Super Bowl airs next year, all analogue TV stations are supposed to be off the air here in the U.S.
BTW Jerry, I still have Romo's fumble during Gramatica's field goal attempt etched in my mind.
I think that was two seasons ago, now, but I remember the bar I was in going wild. |

Yeah remember and that makes him jinxed with that very fumble and along with taking a vacation to lose the Giants. I'm a skins fan and they look good so far with the new pass offensive.

Here's a link to an awesome pic of the famous fumble suitable for blowing up to poster size...
http://www.faniq.com/images/blog/RomoFumble.jpg
This is exactly the way I handle a ball, so that's why I went out for wrestling instead.
Based on the still image, Romo is actually lucky he diden't take a toe in the nose. |

^Yeah no foot to the face is lucky but the game is more different this year than previous years. Colt Brennan is more likely the future of Washington along with Jason Campbell.

Ha no one taken him in the draft except the Skins which was a great pick because he holds almost of the QB records in Hawaii literally.

Also Jason Taylor is a skin now after the Dolphins made a big mistake for trading him because he didn't practiced in the post-season which made them angering.

And the thing is that on that 'botched' play, Romo picked up the ball and come about a hand's width away from the *VERY BEST THING* that the Cowboys could have gotten out of that play - that being the FIRST DOWN. Had they gotten the field goal (or the TD, for that matter), the Seahawks would have gotten the ball back with about one minute of time (an ETERNITY) for Hasselbeck to get to the other end of the field to tie or win the game.
With the FIRST DOWN, the Cowboys would have taken a knee a couple of times and tried the chip-shot field goal again - this time with only 2 or 3 seconds left in the game - and they would not ever DREAM of botching that one up.

| I agree with the original post but think Cincy will be the wild-card and in second, not Pittsburgh. Watched their game today against Minnesota and the first string looked awful. They will be in last place if they employ that play where Roethlisberger goes out to wide-out more than once in any game. |
