Well this year did not go as we had hoped . We beat some of the best teams and some of the worst . We beat the Eagles , Redskins and Giants and then the Giants came to Texas and kicked Cowboy butts . Then went and kicked Packers butts . I posted on other threads that the Giants would win the SB by 3 points . I got a little flack over that from the Patriots .lol. But the out come was the Giants winning over the Pats 17-14 . And a sweet victory it was . The NFC beat the AFC ! And they beat an undefeated team . Tom Brady did not play up to par while Eli Manning done a great job in my opinion .
Now we all wait for the 2008 season to begin . Can the Cowboys be as good a team as they were in 2007 ? Better I think . Will Brett Favre return for another season ? If he does I expect the Packers to be as good as they were in 2007 . I also look for the Bengals to be a better team in 2008 . I think the Giants will do very well in the 2008 season also . With the Eagles improving a good bit . I look for the Cardnials to improve to a much better level As I think the Titans will also be a much better team . As I think the Redskins will also improve .
I really look for us to have a new NFL commisioner in 2008 . I beleive he will have to answer for the tapes he destroyed . Things don't look good for him . The NFL stood to make over a billion dollars with the Pats going all the way . No I am not saying the commish did anything wrong . But I do hope there is a full investigation into his doings . We all love football . We all expect it to be run clean and fair . They have cracked down on baseball . Now maybe its time to clean up football . Make sure it stays the way it is meant to be . Where all teams are treated with equal rights to win games and have a chance to be as good as the next .
I am not implying the Pats are not a good team . Because they are a great team . Tom Brady is a darn good quarterback . Its the coach and owners that should answer for their wrong doings , not the players . It was the owners that allowed the coach to get away with his spying . It was the coach that had his team run up high scores over the other teams . Before Bill Belichick came to the Pats , he had done nothing as a coach . He got lucky and got on a team that had some great players . It was him and his staff that spied on other teams , not the players .
All team owners and coaches have the burning desire to be the best , to be the SB champions . But not all of them go to the lengh of spying on other teams to acheive their goals . This year football was marred by the spy gate affair . To say we hate the Patriots team would not be fair . For the players themselves are about as good as they come . I have a lot of friends that are Patriot fans . And they are good people .
So before you blast the Patriots team , think on it . It was not the players that did any wrong . It was the owners and coaches . The players are only victims of the owners and coaches desire to be the very best , regardless of what they have to do to achive that goal . They can't do things in an honest way , so they resort to tactics that have marred football as a whole . They should be held more accountable for their actions . If we hold it against the Patriots players for something they had no control over , then we are no better then the Patriots coaches and staff.
Good luck to all NFL teams in the 2008 season .
