Houston's kicking game has major problems...Del Greco has been missing key
field goals all year and that type of shoddy kicking game carried through
in the Buffalo game.  After Davis' big runback, Del Greco was obviously
trying to kick away from him.  What does he do?  Boot it out of bounds.
After that, each squib kick was worse than the one before, hitting up-men
regularly.  Montgomery followed suit with a botched snap, a 24 yard punt,
and a 26 yard punt.  Don't fire the special teams coach, get a new kicker
and maybe even a punter (although that game was probably an exception for
Montgomery).

The only thing wrong with this game was that the Washington Redskins
lost.  :-(

Congratulations to the San Francisco 49ers!

For those 49ers fans who complained about how the 49ers played, be happy 
that your team won.

As a rabid (as in foaming at the mouth) 49er fan, the ONLY things I'm 
confident about is that there will be a game played tomorrow, and that
I'll be there!!!

I think that it will be a tough game, hope there are no serious injuries,
and hope that the Niners will win it...

The eagles fan should feel nervous, because unless their team has 
a spectacular day, or Dallas has a bad day(not likely), they will
be out of the playoffs come sunday night...

I would like to cast my vote for the fans who have suffered the most. I am
talking about their team having high expectations only to falter in the
end. I will call this the "Most Frustrated Fans" award.
 
The nominees are:
 
1): Denver Broncos fans - The Broncos have been to the playoffs countless
    times and to the Super Bowl 4 times only to not just lose but get blown
    out.
 
2): Minnesota Vkings fans - Same as Denver. At least, they had a chance in
    a couple of their Super Bowl appearances.
 
3): Cleveland Browns fans - Numerous AFC title game appearances only to have
    the other team pull out a miracle finish or their running back fumble at
    the 1-yard-line.
 
4): Buffalo Bills fans - Won AFC East every year for last five years and 2
    Super Bowl appearances only to lose both times. All this after nearly
    20 years as a doormat.
 
5): Houston Oilers fans - Nine playoff appearances since 1978 but only 4
    home games during that span. Always choking at least 3 games a year
    during regular season forcing them into wildcard round. Then managing
    to find a way to lose on the road. Finally topping it off by blowing
    an NFL-record 32-point lead against a team decimated by injuries. A
    record that will probably NEVER be broken.
 
And the winner is ---- you guessed it, Houston Oilers fans. And yes, you
guessed it, I am an Oilers fan. What else can you say when your team has
made the playoffs six years in a row without a least making it to the
title game at least once. At least the Broncos, Vikings, and Bills have
made it to the Super Bowl and the Browns have made it to the title game.
 
OK, I apologize, After all, I am only venting off some 20 years of play-
off anger and frustration.

Hey, still think Aikman is an average QB! He looked good and had another

Here's a statement. Eagles will NEVER, NEVER go to the Superbowl with
Cunningham. I was at the game Sunday and sat in the endzone on the end
where Philly ended up having the ball most of the time. I had a good view
from behind him (i.e. his view, basically) and I saw him get nervous when
Defense got anywhere near him and when people were open, he would scramble and
throw the ball into the turf in front of them. He looked terrible and clueless.

I agree, but I'll be surprised if SF scores 21 points. I think
Washington had SF beat on Saturday, but Rypien played like a rookie and
screwed any chances they had of actualyl winning. Dallas won't have the
same problem and should do what Washington *should* have done this week.

I'm looking for Miami to pull this one out for a number of reasons:
1) home field.
2) Marino.
3) Buffalo's heads are ballooning again.
4) As you say, if Buffalo wins they will tie Miami's record for 3
concesutive SB appearances. Anyone who pays attention will notice that
anytime someone comes close to an undefeated season one team always
prevents it: Miami. Shula has a knack for motivating his troops to
preserve the records Miami holds.
5) Olividati (sp?) did a great job coming up with a great defensive
strategy against Buffalo in their first match-up and against SD this
week. I look for him to do so again.
6) Pittsburgh sucked last week, and we saw what a hot passing team can
do against Buffalo two weeks ago. I expect something along the lines of
the Houston game, but without the defensive collapse by Miami in the
second half (not *quite* as many points though).

5 Raider appearances? huh-uh. Let's see, there was the win when Madden
coached (against the Vikes?) The win against Washington and the win
against the Eagles. Is that right? The Raiders are 3-0 in the big game?

Hey, after the Sugar Bowl debacle (sp?) I don't think Torretta is overrated,
he'll be lucky if he goes in the first round. Hey, after the way he crumpled

Wrong.  The Cowboys "made it through" only twice; their SB/playoff
failures are far more numerous.  Until their first SB win in '72, their
reputation was "couldn't win the big one".  The resentment toward the
Cowboys was engendered not because of their success, but because of the
sickening media overhype when there were clearly superior teams e. g.
Steelers in the '70s.

    You may not believe this but I was rooting for the Niners against the
    Skins even though I am a Cowboys fan because I was hoping for a
    Cowboys-Niners NFC Championship game and we got it. I have alot of respect
    for the Niners as an organization. Great ownership, managment, coaches and
    players is what made them successful over the years. I also respect the
    fact that trash talking or dirty playing is not in their dictionary. It
    shouldn't be a surprise for anyone that the best two teams in the NFC (may
    be in the NFL) are playing in the championship game.

    Regarding your questions about the Eagles-Cowboys game I thought the
    Cowboys won mostly because they dominated and partially because the Eagles
    choked. Dallas's defense was great and the offense clicked after the 1st
    quarter. The credit goes to the coaches who kept their young players
    focused for a huge game against a tough foe and the players for delivering
    and manhandling a very physical team. The Eagles didn't help themselves
    because of the usual trash talk and lack of respect for a worthy opponent
    which made them choke, IMO. Regarding Cunningham, I thought the OL didn't
    help him against a fired up Dallas pass rush.

    Let me come back to the Niners/Cowboys game. It has all the making to be
    the best game this season (hard to top the Oilers/Bills game). The Niners
    will be in a great position to win if they put the Cowboys in 2nd or 3rd
    and short situations. This will not allow the Cowboys to use their nickel
    deffense packages which they had success with this season. It is also
    important to stop Emmitt Smith. For the Cowboys to win they need to slow
    down the incomprable Jerry Rice and John Taylor. The Cowboys can not win
    the game just on Emmitt Smith running so Aikman and WRs/TEs will have
    to make some plays. Of course I will be rooting for the Cowboys but I will
    be rooting for the winner of this game in the SB. I hope THE CATCH II will
    be caught a Dallas WR.

    Malik....   Go Cowboys......
