GIANTS WON!!!! HAHAHA!
Cowboys suck!
I think both games could go either way.
If Rivers shows up and LT plays, then that game will be close. Otherwise the Pats have it no question.
If the Packers play like they did in Seattle, they'll beat the Giants, no question.
For the big game...
Pats v. Packers - Again, if the packers play like v. Seattle it'll be a good game
Pats. v. NYG - Depends mostly on Manning and if the NYG secondary can recover from the injuries. Should be a close game if the defense gets pressure, otherwise the Big Blue Offense won't be able to keep pace
SD v. Packers - Packers. Farve will be able to beat the SD Defense and Green Bay should be able to limit Charger weapons.
SD v. Giants - Could go either way, again depends on Manning/Rivers and especially the NYG Dline. If they're getting pressure then I think I'd have to hand this to the Giants. Otherwise LT will be able to keep them backpedaling the whole game. I think the key thing to look at though, is that for the most part the Chargers don't do so hotly on third and longs, and it was the cowboys efficiency on those plays that kept them in the game. If the G-men don't allow that (and this applies to v. Patriots and v. Packers too) they would be very tough to beat.
On a side note, I'd like to mention something that the Jags did that I thought was VERY good, even if they didn't win. Their strategy was to limit the Pats to short completions and short plays, and also when on offense themselves drain the clock. But something I was thinking about, but haven't heard mentioned yet, was that by limiting the Pats' big plays, the Pats were draining the clock on themselves. Every team has been trying to "run the clock" while on offense, but the Jags made the patriots do it while they were on defense. If San Diego or Green Bay could do this too (I know the Giants secondary won't be up to it), they both have offenses explosive enough to put up the points they need to and possibly win the game.

Packers and Pats(hate them, but they are damn good).
Hahaha. NFC Championship Game will be in Green Bay, not Dallas.
It makes me proud to see an overhyped team go down like Paris Hilton in the first round of the playoffs. As a Washington redskins fan, I take great pleasure knowing that Dallas lost in disgrace to another NFC East team. HA!
Sorry, folks, but the Patriots are just too damn good, whether you like them or not. They will go 19-0 and be the first team ever to do that.
But I think Green Bay will be happy just to be going to another Super Bowl.

Go Patriots!
I always knew there was something dirty about you Rogue.
And everyone should know and remember for the rest of your lives that the Cowboys are the ONLY #1 seed in the NFC to have lost in the Divisional Playoffs in the HISTORY OF THE NFL!
(And the Giants are the first team to win 9 straight on the road)

Too bad their streak will end at 9. They don't have a chance in hell of winning at Lambeau where it will be snowing and like 8 degrees at gametime (That's like -10 C to you metric chumps).
/me is really hoping for a David and Goliath AFC Champ game, too bad the Pats are wearing helmets...
Oh, let the wailing and the gnashing of teeth begin in Wisconsin, for the Packers have lost to the Giants...
BTW congrats, Smitty...

Oh did the Giants win? But I thought it would be too cold?
Yah, didn't you hear? Hell froze over on Sunday.
It sucks that the guy missed two attempts at a shorter distance, then made the one during overtime from farther away. Personally, I don't care who goes to the Super Bowl, but my wife is a Packers fan and therefore by extension so am I.
Go fucingk@ giantaw1!@ ftw!
Dude. Smittens. Mad props to your Giants.
WIN
WIN

And those are just from this post. If I could scour the internet I may be able to find a really good quote, for instance, a loser quarterback proclaiming that 17 points is a joke. Of course no one's that arrogant, so I'm sure no such quote exists.

Well, they WERE too damn good... up until those upstart Giants WON THE SUPER BOWL!
Ahaaahahahahaha! I need to go find some Boston local BBS's to go gloat in instead of here.
