Little premature, but could you imagine
 
A Dallas/NE Superbowl on it's current pace. Talk about the storylines and ratings! If these two teams, and it's probably still a long shot, make the Superbowl with one loss total, you might see the highest ratings of all time. How much would the NFL LOVE to see that? For 18-0 vs. 17-1 - we all know our schedule and the road to going undefeated - Dallas has:

@ Detroit
Philly
@Carolina
@Washington

Those are all games they'll be favored to win fairly easily, the question mark will be whether they come to play in a meaningless game @ Washington. I don't see anyone going on the road and beating them in the playoffs.

Storylines
The undefeated Evil Empire against America's team and the only loss they've suffered
Huge underdog versus goliath story
Two low drafted QB's
Moss vs. Owens
Crayton mouthing off
I mean, that list goes on and on and on, we could probably build a list of 100 items

What a huge game that would be - does it set the all time SB ratings record?

Wade Phillips. That's enough storyline for me.

I agree..but hat sucks a lot of drama out of the game is the17-1 team's ONE loss was to the 18-0 team, and it was at home and by 21 points. Had Dallas lost to any other team and they hadn't played the Pats, the hype would be so much bigger and you'd have more people believing they have a shot.

Imagine if Parcells was still coach there - The ratings would be astronomical

Yeah, i wouldnt mind facing the Boys again. But it also would be huge if Favre made it. Those headlines would be outrageous as well.

As long as WE make it I don't really care which chumps the NFC serves up. :cool:

I still maintain my sentiments that the Boys will do something stupid in the playoffs to blow the game (see the Chargers last year). The Cowboys are a loose ship and the players run the show over there.

Get used to the tagline "Duel in the Desert" if that's the matchup. You heard it here first.
