Yes. I want to see history, and I want the best theater that money can buy. I want the hype, I want the best versus the best with no ambiguity. I want to settle things until the playoffs. I want it to be in their house, give them every advantage that they can take, and then bury them.
I want to see something eerily predictable happen, like the undefeated teams staying that way until they play each other. I want to see them knocked off one by one, slowly, like the way Clint Eastwood knocked off the bad guys one by one. I want it sink into the heads of the fans of the remaining teams that only one team is actually left standing, and that they faced the best of the other lot to get that way. I want the fans of the other teams to drool and wonder what it's like to be us.
What the hell, we spent thirty or forty years wondering and drooling didn't we? We watched all of those Dallas-SF dream matchups that were in the stratosphere where the NFL gods actually reside. We watched all those Redskins-Giants matchups that looked like wars. And that was great football. Those were *their* teams though, not ours. It was always their teams.
Come on, this is it. This is history if we meet head-to-head with a combined record of 15-0. If that doesn't get the football blood flowing nothing will. If that doesn't make your NFL fantasy matchup come true, nothing ever will. What the hell did we dream about all summer, beating the Bills?
Anybody who wants the Colts to lose in between times is either a calcualating mathemetician, or a non-believer in who this team is. I think I know who this team is and they don't have to have help from anybody. I want that matchup because if they can't win it, then they don't deserve to be called the best at that point. I want that confirmation, either way, time to put up or shut up. At the end of that day, only one bunch is left standing, and the nay sayers have to admit that they were wrong.
