No argument here that more of the country want to see new England. They are making history. Is it just me, or is the game of football getting a little boring. Do you think the NFL went too far protecting the quarterback, and making passing the ball too easy? Best game I saw this year was Vikings/Chargers Now that was fun to watch.

I've seen a few good games this year. Today's Jets-Steelers one was pretty good, though Clemens had a run near the end of the game where four guys just let him walk out of bounds. I mean, in the old days, they would've hit him so hard his helmet popped off. So, yeah, I do they think went a little too far protecting the QB. But passing is still far from easy - look at how many sub-100 or 200 yards games there have been over the past couple of seasons vs. the 80s and 90s.

Well the idea is to keep people watching. I'm sure just about everyone except N.E fans turned that game off by halftime. I mean come on, N.E killed Buff in their last game. What made NBC think, that Buff was all of a sudden the team that was going to beat or give N.E a go. Washington / Dallas, Ari/Cinn or Cle/Balt would have been a better Sunday night matchup. And guess who is on next Sunday night? N.E! The only people who like N.E is N.E fans. It's not like the entire country is in love with them. I for one will not be watching again next Sunday night. I wonder if Orlando plays Boston again next Sunday night? If so I'll be watching that.
