Well, I am stuck in the office and will have to watch both games on TiVo. But maybe some of you want to discuss mid-game . . . :(
Atlanta lost.
It's minus 1 in Pittsburgh.
RL at halftime it's 24-3 New England.

Thanks. I can follow the scores and stats on the Internet, but I was hoping for some play descriptions and stuff. Anyway, I'll see the games later on TiVo.
Congrats to Goggles, Magician (I think) and the other crazed Eagles fans.
The Patriots are no flash in the pan. They really have this team thing down. Troy Brown on D, etc. I'd think you guys would like that.

OK, I watched the Eagles-Falcons game last night on TiVo (plays only, fast-forwarded through everything else except replays I wanted to see). While I thought the Eagles were the better team, I thought Atlanta's offensive coordinator and quarterback deserve much of the blame for the loss. How many times were they going to run against 8 or even 9 guys in the box? Sure, they were successful doing it from time to time, to their credit, but why wouldn't they throw when they had single coverage outside?
Either Michael Vick is incapable of or prohibited from calling an audible in this situation, the team had no confidence in its receivers' ability to make a play in single coverage (or its quarterback's ability to throw the ball), or the guys calling the plays are so pig-headed and stupid that they wouldn't take advantage of what the defense gave them. I don't know if it would have made a difference, but I think the game would have been different with better offensive play-calling by Atlanta.
Haven't seen the AFC game yet, but I do not see Philly beating New England. Even if TO comes back in two weeks.

OK, saw Pit-NE last night on TiVo, same method. I was not surprised by the outcome at all. The game really came down to Brady v. Roethlisberger, which is an easy call. Roethlisberger, while he showed a lot of promise, lost the game for the Steelers; Brady won the game for NE.
The Eagles have a good defense and a much better quarterback than the Steelers, but I don't see them beating New England. In fact, while I don't expect it, I would not be shocked if the Patriots blow them out.

I'm rooting for the Pats because I work with a bunch of guys from Philly.

LOL -- I too am an FFL geek, and 7 of our ten GMs are in Philly. There is nothing more annoying than an Eagles fan. ;)

Mr. Corleone never asks a second favor once he's refused the first, understood? :D
