Haha its fine man! I was just thinking I was missing something haha... but yeah I think Joe is pretty spot on with his comments. It will be hard, but I have confidence in this team. This team is a year more experienced, and pretty much all of the same players remain except for a few pieces, who we always know that "the next man up" philosophy works for us year in and year out.

Kinda makes me nervous when people start prognosticating (I mean, how many people saw the Giants winning it all last year?), but it's good to know a lot of knowledgable people believe in us.

First off, its way too early to make predictions, theres still a lot of things that can change around the NFL. i dont see us winning in foxboro, id rather play in pittsburg in the AFCC game. Number 1 seed would really help, i have no doubt in my mind if we played in baltimore last year, we would of been facing the giants

Yes! Then my man Flacco gets that 100 million Dollar contract and get to wear a "Haters gonna Hate" Tee at the Press conference.

Correction: 7 years, $130 million, $30 million guaranteed.

Everytime I hear the name Theismann, I think of that grainy old NFL film of him getting his leg broken. (shudders).

[NaveSenrag]

Considering Dave Dameshek had us winning it all last year and we saw how that went, I'd rather we take the upset rather than lose the assured victory.

[scrock]

take those predictions with a grain of salt...Mike Greenberg predicted the Bears and Ravens in the SB and I hate to tell you that he's usually a curse if he picks your team to win
