Draft talk time!

Personally, I'm hoping the panthers get some linemen; I'd like a good DT to complement Johnson, and an OL guy as well. Other than that, I think the panthers are pretty good.

[ABOMINATION]

Packers should focus the majority of the draft on defensive players. We spent #1 draft picks the past two years on offensive linemen, so I think a few pass rushers to compliment Clay Matthews is in order.

NFL draft? Nah, pitchers and catchers report baby!

Ok I have been refraining from Pats bashing...but this was too funny

[ElvenEnvy]

I wasn't really into either team going into Sunday, but after watching all of the pregame I wanted the Patriots to win for Mira Kraft. She sounded like a wonderful women.

Giants were 9-7 for the regular season.

And the Cowboys were worse than their record indicated! Far worse! They had 8 games that could have gone either way. They could have just as easily been 4-12. They are bad in the worst places to be bad and mediocre in most of the others. They have a few nice skill position players, a good young LB, and Ware; that's it. The Giants and Eagles are clearly better, deeper teams.

Whoops, my bad on their record.

And the Cowboys could have been 12-4, too. They lost four regular season games each by four points or less. Those teams include the Giants, Patriots, Lions, and Jets.

They also won games against bad teams by the same slim margins: Phins, Skins x2. The only team they beat with a winning record was the 'Niners. That's it.

They are closer to bad than they are good. They also have no leaders.

Rÿchean, it makes me sad for the Cowboys fans out there. At least, the ones really from Texas.

I think it might be easier for you guys if your owner realized the team is bad. It's close to true to say that, for the Cowboys, they are *all* positions of need.

I figured out last night why I wanted this one so much, it was right after the Hail Mary that wasn't and the last tick went off the clock. I looked over at my 9yr old son and the tears that were running down his cheeks broke my heart. He's been around for just about all the Boston success over that last several years, but this would have been the first one he would have appreciated, that he was invested in... tough to watch that.

I feel his pain I was 10 back In 06 when the Bears lost to the Colts.
it started out so promising too,With Hester returning the opening Kickoff for A TD

Yeah, it immediately took me back to the Red Sox and 1986 (heck, the Patriots too for that matter). I was 12 and crushed. I guess we all have to take our lumps, you just hope they get the celebration at some point too.
