Before everyone anoints the Cowboys Super Bowl champions I would like to remind everyone that the Carolina Panthers, Tennessee Titans and the Arizona Cardinals have been in the Super Bowl Since Dallas last won a playoff game.
Denver has won the super bowl twice and the lowly St Louis Cardinals who won once and lost one since a Dallas playoff victory.
Dallas the last two weeks have looked like world beaters or should we say Philly beaters. Even the game before that they beat that power house New York Giants who the last two games scored only sixteen points and gave up over 80.
In the same light the New York Jets beat a team who since the death of one of their players have been a shell of themselves. Cincinnati played an emotional game at San Diego but the last two weeks of the regular season seemed to be playing out the season.
There are now five team left in the NFC. New Orleans losers of three in a row. Minnesota losers of three of their final five. Arizona drubbed last week at Green Bay and as a new Years present they will Host Green Bay today. The two teams with the momentum right now is Green Bay and Dallas.
The AFC's five teams left are the Chargers winners of eleven in a row, Indianapolis losers of their last two, New England limping into the playoffs and Baltimore.
What happened to try to play your best ball at playoff time? You know every year there seem to be one team that wins during the wild card that makes it to the super bowl. Ten teams left and it sure does look like the hottest teams are the Chargers, Cowboys and Packers and the Packers and Cowboys are in the wild card round.
Peyton Manning won the MVP award and I have no qualms with that. It was a runaway with Drew Brees, Philip Rivers and Brett Favre finishing way back. Chris Johnson of ECU didn't even get one vote for MVP after rushing for 2,000 yards. I guess it only shows you that the NFL is now a passing league and rushing the football don't mean what it use too. There use to be a day when passing teams always lost to the ball control teams. The Titans who Johnson plays for didn't even finish abouve 500 on the season.
