Romo didnt look good at all. did he injure himself in the end or was it just precaution?the redskins played very well i thought, but then it was a game where Dallas had nothing in it, so did they rest players?Al

Kingofpain89 wrote:Not to be Mr. Negative or anything but I dont think Dallas could have won even if they kept their starters in the whole game and played like they were fighting to get into the playoffs...which of course Washington was. Dallas has looked flat the last few games...almost like they just decided that they are a lock for the Super Bowl and they can just coast from here on in. Way too many fundamental mistakes being made. They were lucky not to lose to Detroit and Carolina and they should have beaten Philly a few weeks ago but managed to stink up the field pretty badly.Luckily they have a first round bye and home field advantage otherwise I wouldnt be surprised seeing them bow out in the first round again. They better get their shit together the next couple of weeks and get Romo mentally prepared to play. Hopefully Terry Glenn will be 100% and Terrell Owens can get back on the field by then as well.

But really, is there any doubt there will be a Colts/Pats showdown inthe championship game? Another instant classic.Mike B.
Kingofpain89 wrote:Don't quote me on this....but I like the Titans vs. the Chargers. The Titans are looking for some serious payback against Merriman. I predict Vince Young will have one of the best games of his career and Tomlinson will have one of the worst. The Titans should have won the last game they played against them but let it slip away in the 4th.I also think the Jags are a very dangerous team. Pittsburgh will have their hands full, especially with all of the injuries they have had of late.Tampa Bay should kick the crap out of the Giants but I'm taking Washington over the Seahawks. On paper the Seahawks are the superior team but momentum and guts can keep a team going long after they should be done.

If it weren't for that, the two conferences would be better off bagging the BCS and going back to the de facto national championship game...the Rose Bowl.
