For sure.

In fact, only once before in history has a conference championship game been hosted by a team that did not earn a first round bye, when 3rd seeded Indy hosted it in 2006.

Right now, we're staring at a clean sweep of the bye teams, depending on the outcome of the afternoon game. That would honestly be incredible if it did happen.

Gnats peaked to early this season. Eagles and Cardinals are peaking at the right time. Same with Ravens and Chargers, they are peaking at the perfect time.
Who cares what your regular season record is. As long as you make the playoffs and are playing your best ball at the end of December, that is the best situation. Didn't the Giants do that last year?

We (Redskins) peaked in September/October.

I agree, they were the hottest thing for most of the season then dropped a couple notches by playoff time. Right now I think I am going to root for Arizona. Philly is very tough, but statically, they are not all that hot. It is their stellar D that wins it for them.

BTW, I hate the Ravens and can't stand their Johnny Come Lately fans who presumably just got into football when the Browns came to town.

But, I will begrudginly give Flacco some props. He made some BIG plays downfield to receivers who were covered like a blanket. How about that play to Clayton in double coverage. I didn't see Santana Moss make a single catch like that all year, although he is plenty capable. Campbell has to take the training wheels off and let those passes go! Same for the big pass to Heap down the middle of the field. Double covered, but he got the ball in there and kept the drive alive.

I know he gets good pass protection, but he also moves around in the pocket to negate the pass rush (which makes the pass protection look even better than it is). He made a great pass to Mason after running towards the sideline. I'd like to see JC do more of that as well.

The friggin Eagles. Man, what could have been.

I guess I'm a Cardinals fan next week.

eagles vs ravens in the super bowl....i honestly could not think of a worst scenario

If boldin is health and they don't have to travel Cards could win. I so hope AZ wins it all unlikely but I pray.

thatll be crazy if eagles win we beat them twice

WaldSkins · 01-18-2009, 04:18 PM

How bout them Arizona Cardinals.

44ever · 01-18-2009, 04:25 PM

eagles coming back!

MdBluefinCrab · 01-18-2009, 05:02 PM

This is so damn depressing. The Arizona Cardinals! Geez.
Oh well, at least you can credit a former Redskin for their success. I hope they blow Philthy away and win the Super Bowl. Gotta root for somebody...I guess.

He He Hee He !!! Way To Go Cards!!!!!!

This shows the importance of just making the playoffs. AZ was considered a non-factor and now they may be playing in the big game. If you just get into the playoffs anything can happen.

Daseal · 01-18-2009, 06:24 PM

Arizona has a very good team, their defense has really stepped up. I'm definitely pulling for them in the big game!

congrats Cards.
