What is your teams favourite play (so far)?
Brady, handoff to Green-Ellis, runs deep into the tackles and fires it back to Brady. Who finds Moss deep for a TD in the snow.
The best play of the season?
Broncos. Orton via deflection to Stokley.
League(not team) Moment of the season?
Vikings beating Niners with 0:02 on the clock with Favre finding Greg Lewis in the endzone.
Team MVP?
Brandon Meriweather
League MVP?
Drew Brees
Superbowl 44 winner?
New Orleans Saints
Runner-up?
New England Patriots
What are you looking forward to in the future with your team?
A young defense who are hitting hard and doing brilliantly with a lack of experience. Mayo/Guyton at LB. Wilhite/Butler at CB. Meriweather/McGowan at S with Chung as backup. All 25 or under. And Pryor, 6th round pick, the only down lineman on 3rd down in the passrush. If we can add a Pacey D-End like Freeney (even half as good), then we'll be in great position on Defense for years to come. When you play against 7 TE's and 6 have season-low numbers, you know you are doing something right. Unsung hero is McGowan on that part. Can't wait to see him vs Dallas Clark.

Whose next?

I hate the way QBs have always been overprotected.

I hate the way not one person mentioned Eli Manning's moaning and bitching during their game last week and whinging for flags etc.

Just read that, fantastic read.

Was a very good coach as well. Decent & dignified man too.

Just for the geeky among us:

Not quite sure how Marvin Lewis comes under Cowher when he became known for his work in Baltimore, and I'd be more inclined to link Tony Dungy to Chuck Noll than Marty Schottenheimer, but interesting nevertheless.

Part of me still wonders if the Vikings would be better under Leslie Frazier than Childress (incidentally I love LeBatard's line on PTI last night - "If I'd known you were coming as Brad Childress I would have dressed up as your mortal enemy, clock management."). I think he's definitely due for a HC position at some point.

Parcells done well. 4 from 4 are still head coaches. Some at a HoF level.

Very interesting diagram Straths, explains a lot :p

Anyone else seen Darnell Dockett's pics of the Cards players dressing up in their costumes :D

Strathers...

Presumably you go a step up with Bill Walsh. Paul Brown has probably the greatest number of disciples imaginable. Walsh, Shula and three or four other big names.

All from one man.

IMO Paul Brown has done easily more for football than anyone else in the world.
