....the only thing that kept me watching that game yesterday was the fact that the score was so close ...
As I GIANTS fan, next year I hope to be looking at a new coaching staff, a new lead running back, and new wideouts, ... and hopefully someone can put a spark in Eli's game !!! ...

Ah, Tony, Tony, Tony ....... I feel your pain, my friend. yes, my EAGLES are the cream of the very mediocre crop of NFC Easters this year. Let's hope the magic works in New Orleans this weekend ! We played three solid quarters of football yesterday. Hopefully, the Saints will not require us to play hard the WHOLE time. ( I was frightened in the first quiarter ! )

I won't sugarcoat it .. I know we're the underdogs, but hey - you gotta love the possibility ! The Saints had a rough year, but that's no garuntee that they get all the prizes!

Whew ... that Reggie Bush is like a blur ! What a great offence those pesky Saints have. We could have kept up a little better if we didn't loose Shawn Andrews, but New Orleans played a hell of a game and we play MOSTLY a hell of one. Not good enough. No gripes here - the better team played a better game. That's what the playoffs are all about. So, now for the first time - I'm rooting for the team that knocked us out to win it all. Go Saints! At least it ain't Dallas !

I truly think the Saints have a shot at it all. Shawn Peyton is a great coach, and they have tons of offensive weapons, and a pretty good defense too. The Eagles did a tremendous turnaround. I personally think they are far better off with the "new" quarterback. DonM

My Saints will leave the sunny shores of South Louisiana, and vanquish the ice-laden, toothless Bear cubs. I predict a 17-point Saints victory. I predict Gross Rexman will be sacked 6 times and throw 4 interceptions. Then, as predicted for the past 30 years, Hell will freeze over, because the Saints will be in the Super Bowl at last. DonM

DonM ... It was too bad it all fell apart ... I heard about a tv store in NO that told people who purchased a flat screen tv while the Saints were still in training camp, that the dealer would refund all their money if the Saints won the Super Bowl ... I heard they were making arrangements to refund $1million+ ... I wonder who THEY were rooting for yesterday ?!? ... t.

Don you had it right, with the exception...you had the wrong QB falling apart and throwing interceptions.... BTW I had picked the Saints to win too..I also picked the Colts to win it all..

Being in Li'l Rhody all I hear is Brady, Brady, Brady, ... I think some of the sports radio guys would want to LIVE with him ... That game ended EXACTLY the way I wanted it to - interception on Brady and a knee by Manning ... Being a GIANTS fan I will be rooting for Peyton and hoping little brother Eli can pick up some pointers ... t.
I like Peyton and sincerely hope that he does not suffer Marino's fate of never winning a Super Bowl, but.......how can you NOT root for a guy named LOVIE Smith.
