commentary...

the pundits are picking the Seattle Seahawks,or the San Francisco 49ers to win Super Bowl XLVIII... on paper,they have the teams to beat,but folks,let me remind you of a couple of things:rosters do not win Super Bowls,and there are sixteen games,and the NFL playoffs between now and then... for example:let me use the Packers as an example,in 2010,who but the hardcore Packers' fans picked the Packers to win Super Bowl XLV,and when they started to lose player after player(fifteen in all,to injured reserve),who was on their bandwagon... NO ONE!!!!!!! let me remind you folks of something:how close did the Packers come to missing the playoffs that year:1)a crazy punt return touchdown by the Philadelphia Eagles to end game,and to beat the New York Giants,38-31,and a wild Detroit Lions' 23-20 road win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers,both in week fifteen(the Lions' win broke a NFL record 26 game road losing streak,for the Lions)... without those two non-Packers' games,going the Packers' way:simply said,the Packers lose the strength of schedule tiebreaker,and miss the playoffs,period... my point is that your team can be loaded for bear,and you can still be a bad team,or a team that misses the playoffs by a hair... i take the predictions with a big grain of salt,folks,and they can also use them for toilet paper,at end of the season...
