The owner of 40 TV stations is battling with *** cable over money so the CBS station is not on cable. I'll watch the Eagles lose and miss what could be the best game of all the playoffs.

I have to go with the Eagles. The long snapper and myself went to school together. He was 2 years ahead of me. He married one of my good friends. They still come home often and have a house here.

The Patriots have got to be one of the most disciplined and focused group of football players ever assembled. They don't arm tackle, they hit. They block, they cover receivers, they play smart. I don't think the Steelers will beat them this time around, even with Staley back (but not 100%). I think it'll be the Falcons and the Pats in the Superbowl.

I hope that's not Barrington, NJ...I will report you to local authorities for being a Patriots fan in NJ.

I don't understand how anyone think that the Falcons are going to be a problem for the Birds. Michael Vick is the problem, and that's it, nobody else. Steelers....I think Rothlesomething finally understands that he is just a hair better than punk. Don't get me wrong, great quarterback, just real young and now has delicate ribs. I do hope it is a PA superbowl though, I REALLY dislike the Patriots. Come on guys, you just got the World Series ring, don't be greedy.

Eagles vs. Pats

You heard it here first.

The Eagles D will handle Vick - make him actually pass the ball and he's mediocre at best. He'll make a couple big plays, but it won't be enough. I think the Falcons will run the ball with some success, but points, especially TDs, will be hard to come by. They completely shut down Minnesota. The Eagles will score TDs, T.O. or not, and the way the played and got the breaks on Sunday, I think the gods are smiling on them this year. I'll be cheering like a madman too.

The Pats are simply too good for the Steelers on both sides of the ball. If the Pats score 10pts that should be all they need. They'll play the Steelers game and dominate the clock, just like they did to Indy. Brady and Dillon will control the game, and Belichek's schemes will make Rothlisberger look like the rookie that he is. The Steelers are lucky to even be there - if Doug Brien could kick they'd watching the game on TV.

As for the Superbowl - EAGLES. That one's based on my heart, not my head.

The Pats don't hit, they HOLD. It's hard for any team to play them (except the Dolphins!) when they have to play the zebras, too. Must be nice to have your own set of rules for your defense to play with. They have the dirtiest man on any field on their team in Harrison. And the fans out here are boorish (but not as bad as Philly). I hope the Steelers put them back in their place (team and fans) next weak, but we shall see if the Rookie can get the job done. Other than that little rant, GO EAGLES!

thats like complaining about checking in the nhl....

The pats have a great team coupled with the best coach in the nfl.
Bruschi, Patten,Givens,Branch, Dillon,Faulk,Seymore, Brady...everyone of them....remember adam vinetari?

Should be an interesting game in Pittsburg.

Defense and no turnovers win the game

Go Pats

The Steelers will be back to form this week against the Pats. I think they will be able to pull it out, though it will be tough.
