Congratulations on burying the Steelers in Pittsburgh.

I happen to like the Jags enough that if the Pats weren't in this thing, I'd be pulling for the Jags. While I am not convinced that the Jags have the QB power to get past the Colts or Pats, I still think they can do anything on a given day. If that were to happen tonight and they take the win, I'd still think that they have a rough AFCCG to get through (not against the Bolts either.)

I think a Jags-Colts AFCCG would be a rip snortin' game too since they know each other so well.

Alas, I don't think the Jags get that far and I see this as a "bad timing" sort of thing where you have developed a very good team, but at a time when the AFC has two powerhouses with two great QBs in the prime of their careers. That is a tough thing to overcome. At best I think you have to hope that in the next couple of years the Colts and Pats eliminate one of each other, and the Jags get to play, and beat, the remainder. Otherwise how would you ever get through both gauntlets? If that were to happen I'd be the first to say, based on strength of opponents, the Jags did something that nobody ever did in the NFL.

I'm blinded by my own ambition living in NE, of course, so I can't see this team losing a game at home, or against an NFC opponent this year. I admit that it's possible, but in my own homer world I just can't see it in my mind. It's all wins, all the way, 19-0 and let the arguments rip about who is the "best ever" (an overrated, impossible argument if you ask me.)

Good luck though. I expect a good game and some high drama.

Your favorite team is a dynasty. Live it love it and hope it last as long as possible.

I come to opposing teams boards for a little fun and banter. Sorry if I offended anyone that was not my agenda, unless you personally attacked me.

While I still don't and guess never will understand the whole don't disrespect the team thing from opposite team players and coaches. The Pats didn't win games because someone disrespected them, they won because they were the better team that day. Plain and simple.

I will be back tomorrow, Sunday, to give congrats to your favorite team if they win if they don't, which I don't think they will lose, I will not be back.

You're a class act Jagwyer. Heres to some great football. Don't be a stranger here. You're always welcome.
