Dream scenario... NO takes #1 seed. Minnesota #2. Dallas #3. Arizona #4. GB #5. Philadelphia #6.

We beat Arizona on the road and Philadelphia takes out Dallas (both doable I think).

Divisional Playoffs - Philadelphia upsets NO (very possible if Philly is hot). We get redemption by beating Minnesota and knocking them out of the playoffs.

Our reward = An NFC Championship Game in Lambeau Field.

I know I'm getting miles ahead of myself. That's why it's a dream scenario.

My dream scenario of course will be winning the SB any route it takes. However, I'd love more than anything for the Cows to be in our way and we shut them out in the Playoffs. You have no idea how much I hate the Cows.

---

For this year, I'd just like to settle the score with the Vikings and give them another home playoff loss. I realize we would have an extremely difficult task beating Arizona or NO.

It's not that I have defeatous attitute, rather I recognize there are aspects our team not Super Bowl worthy. I'll wait for it, and when it is here I'll savor it, just like 96.

We just learned the way to beat MN. We already know we can stop AP.

Our OL has to hold together long enough to tear apart their secondary. Kurt Warner did it. Aaron Rodgers should be able to do it if our OL holds together. This is where we bring in a FB and keep him back there to protect Aaron.

---

I think we knew how to beat the Vikings the last two times we played as well. Knowing how, and actually executing the plan, are two separate things.

Dammit IronMan. I'm trying to be optimistic here. :physassult:

---

Eh. We had the ball in the 4th quarter with a chance to take the lead. All we need to do is play a little better.

Stats:
Saints 12-0 won division...Cards 8-4 can wrap their division this week.
Have added The Vikings because it is that time of the year,The Viking swoon may have started, I'll keep them in the mix untill they prove they can win the late games.

Week............12......13......14..........15......16...................17

Vikings..(10-2).W......L.......vs cin....@car....@chi......vs nyg

Dallas...(8-4)..W.......L.......vs sd.....@no.....@was.....vs phi

Eagles..(8-4)...W......W......@nyg.....vs sf....vs den....@dal

Packers(8-4)...W......W......@chi......@pit.....vs sea....@ari

Giants..(7-5)....L......W.......vs phi....@was...vs car....@min

Atlanta.(6-6)....W......L.......vs no.....@nyj....vs buf....@tb

This point in time Cowboys still lead their division, Eagles #5, Packers #6.
N.O beats Atl. this week, will all but eliminate The Falcons. Eagles/Giants, whatever happens would help The Pack.

My 2 and 3rd most favorite teams this week are The San Diego Chargers.

GO BENGALS WHIP UP ON THOSE HATED VIKINGS!!!!!!!!

Vikings remaining opponents.
Cincinnati (9-3),
at Carolina (5-7),
at Chicago (5-7),
N.Y. Giants (7-5).

---

2-2 is enough. 3-1 should be more than doable. I don't see them losing any of their last 3 games, or the Giants one should be a game without meaning.
