Are You Ready For Some Football ?

There was a great long article in Friday or Saturday's Dallas newspaper about Jerry World stadium. It's "the elephant in the room". Local media, when being honest, have said the same thing and it's obvious for those who know. Jerry World stadium is terrible for football. It's not a winning or football environment. For that fact it has to have an effect on the team culture and wins/losses.

Everyone says the acoustics are terrible for live concerts.

The bottom line is that new stadium design is one big blunder by JJ. Physically it is a huge fancy building (actually an ugly dome) with excessive bells and wistles but no good function to it.

Everyone in football from top to bottom admires the stadium in Seattle with the noise, 12th man, etc. Those fans and players love it. Even when it is raining and cold that stadium is packed with fans having a grand old time. JJ built the absolute polar opposite of that kind of football here.

Will JJ's stadium forever be something keeping the team from being as good as it could be?? Yes! it most definitely will be a contributing factor in my opinion.

Dude. You really need to lighten up. In all likelihood, this game will be the best of the playoffs. The Cowboys ran into an offensive buzz saw. They didn't play perfect, but not sure perfect beats this Packers team.

I said it after the game, the two best teams in the NFL played in Arlington. I think Green Bay beats Atlanta by 10 or more. I think New England struggles against Pittsburgh and the Superbowl is a rematch of the last one in Texas.

Stephen and Jerry (by likely staying out of the way) have made some strong decisions the last 5 years of the draft. CenturyLink Field is ok, but the team is good and the fans support the team. A few 8-8 seasons and that changes. CenturyLink doesnt make the team, the team makes CenturyLink.

I have Green Bay +4 and Pittsburgh +6. If the lines moves more to I will take more action if either results in those two favors. Pittsburgh tends to get heavy action so it will counter the New England heavy action. Not sure how much that line will move.

ATL though, that could move another point in Green Bays favor. If it moves to 4.5 or 5 I will likely place an extra wager.

I wanna know who's getting the aaron rodgers hail marry tatoo on their forehead

Ok it's the Falcons and the Patriots, who do you think will win this one? .....the over/under on this one is probably going to be about 90 ..... well I can't stand Bellycheat and that smug-faced Brady, so go Falcons!! ..... (also after what Rodgers did to the Cowboys, it was so satisfying to see him handed a dose of humility ..... just wish it could have happened to him a week earlier ) .....

Anyone else notice (and groan in agony) when Packer PK, Mason Crosby, missed his FG attempt after Green Bay's initial drive of the day bogged down? And that it was a shorter distance than the game winning FG vs Da Boys last week? Yeah.

Yeah.....that one kinda stung. Bastard.

Should be a good game with teams playing great football, I pick Atlanta to win but it won't be easy

Of course NE is favored (-3) because they are NE and it's Belibrady.

I love the way the Falcons offense and Ryan are playing. Ryan is playing like he has something to prove, and he does. He already beat Rodgers and now if he beats Brady to win the Super Bowl, YEAH you bet he proved something. I think it's his time.

I'd take Atlanta and the points. I wouldn't bet the farm, I'd bet two goats.

Wow! I miss the NFL and the Cowboys the way it was.
