Which NFL team looked the best this weekend?
Don't say the Colts.

I can't really say because I didn't watch all of the games.

This I do know, of the four winning teams, it wasn't Pittsburgh.

Couldn't watch the Pats game at all objectively because I was too nervous, but looking back on it, they were pretty damn good.

SHOULD be two good games next weekend. SHOULD.

8. The Boston Red Sox--Champions of the World.
Sorry, I just like to say that whenever I get a chance.

Oh...and, uhh... way to go Pats.

10. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad the Pats won tonight , ...
and I really like their chances to take it all the way, but the only thing in the sports world that really makes my heart go pitty-pat is the ongoing realization that--------

the Boston Red Sox are the Champions of the World.

Everything else is just part of the hazy afterglow.

11. Yeah, I can easily live with the Steelers winning next weekend...
...nothing compares to the Red Sox--I had convinced myself they would never win in my lifetime!

2. Pats & Falcons
I think both Conference Championships will be competitive.

If T.O. was healthy, the Eagles would rout the Falcons, but since he's not, it should be an interesting game.

The Steelers and Patriots play pretty much the same style, so that should be an interesting game too.

4. Didn't see the Falcons game, but I saw the score, so you're
probably right.

The Falcons really did poorly the second half of the season, and then they look unbeatable yesterday. What gives? How can you explain such a turnaround?

7. Patriots
and I'm a rabid Eagles fan. They had the toughest opponent by far and won convincingly. They have to be the favorite to beat Pittsburgh after they way they struggled against the Jets.

12. Falcons looked awfully good to me
Of course, they WERE playing the defensively-special teams challenged Rams.

I still don't know how you can control or contain Michael Vick when he's at full strentgh.

13. New England
They beat the best competition. Eagles second, Atlanta third, Stillers are lucky to even be here.

19. Of the games I watched, the Eagles were the most impressive
The Pats had six points at halftime against one of the league's worst defenses. I didn't watch the Falcons, so I can't really talk about their blowout of the 8-8 Rams. The Steelers needed two missed field goals by the most hated man in New York. The Eagles beat a pretty good team, despite the late season swoon, and shut down the league's best healthy reciever (although one could certainly doubt the status of Moss's ankle after the past couple of weeks).

I'm picking the Eagles to win it all.

24. Congratulations! You are the first person to....
...make a smart ass reply! :)

And I gotta say I'm surprised it took someone so long!
