Pointy-Ball Thread [R]

I know no one outside of the USA follows this sport, and many on this board don't like the sport, but I know there are a few that do.

This Sunday is the conference championship games. I think the Patriots will beat the Chargers to remain undefeated, they are just too good with too much talent. Chargers are inconsistent and not mature enough to handle an AFC title game.

Being a Packers fan, I think they will beat the Giants (Knock on wood). Green Bay is solid at every position, we have Brett Favre, and the game is being played at Lambeau. Enough said.

I agree on both points. Of course, I thought the Chargers would lose to Indy. I hope they prove me wrong again.

I definitely don't see San Diego being the team that derails the Patriots. They won't be 100 percent, with Rivers and Tomlinson being banged up last game, and Gates completely out.

For the Packers game, I think it has all the makings to be a classic. Cold night in Lambeau, and the Giants making it unexpectedly deep into the playoffs. I think it'll be close, with the Packers taking it late. Manning has been great and composed since the wildcard game, but Favre has been in this situation countless times.

With my Lions not making playoffs, I'm really just hoping to see some good games.

Yeah I HATE the Patriots.

I agree with Ghostface, the Packers and the Giants could be a classic depending which Giants team shows up and which Eli shows up. The Giants have a solid set of skill players and a very good pass rush. But hopefully Favre and his wide receivers can exploit the not so strong secondary and linebacking corp. Obviously I am a little bias ;)

Oh you mean the pointy ball where the big girls wear padding....... ;)

I thought you meant the real pointy ball game- rugby league! :D

I'll leave now- while I'm still alive!

Ugh! The Pack lost, I am the furthest thing from sober. Last time I was this disappointed was when Liverpool lost to Milan in the CL Final. ********, time to go break things.

... 'ahem, to the real man's pointy game, those who follow the saga of the RFU's, shall we say, 57 gentlemen will be interested to hear that Martin Johnson (a reds supporter to boot) has taken over the manager's job at Twickenham. Happy days for England?
