More refs would mean more getting in the way of the players, and I'd hate to
see that.  I always wince when a player is breaking downfield and a ref
can't get out of the way.  With more refs, it wouldn't be such a rare
occurance, especially where you want to put them.

The playoffs are almost here.  As a 49er fan from way back (my 
family has had season tickets since 1946, the old AA league), I'm
interested in knowing from other 49er fans which team they would
like to see the 49ers play in the first round.

Assuming, for purposes of this post anyway :-), that the 49ers win 
their division and have home field advantage throughout and that
Dallas wins their division, it would be possible for the 49ers to
play any one of the following teams:  New Orleans, Washington, 
Philadelphia or Green Bay. (From other posts it seemed as though the
only way Minnesota could make the playoffs would be as the 3rd division
champion.  The 49ers could not play any division winner in the 1st
round given my scenario.)

I know who I DON'T want to play:  New Orleans!!  A real tough team that
(if they win their first-ever playoff game as a wildcard) might be
super pumped up. I'd much rather have New Orleans take a whack at Dallas.
This is not a knock against the other teams, just a show of respect 
towards the Saints.

So how about it 49er fans?  What do you think?

Also, for Dallas Cowboys fans, which team would you rather face in the
first round?  (You have the same choices as the 49ers plus Minnesota.)

Fans from other teams, feel free to express your thought as well.

Hear, hear!  You'll rarely find a cocky Saints fan.  Anybody who grew
up following them knows more than anybody else what it's like to be
a laughingstock of the league.  I just wish you hadn't tempted fate
by stating that we'll win our first playoff game this year.  Sure,
you can *think* it and *believe* it, just don't say it out loud. :-)

Cautiously optimistic,
A long-suffering-and-very-grateful-Saints fan.

I care.

If the Packers win the division there will be a 1st round playoff game 
in GB.  (If they make it to the 2nd round they'd have to go on the 
road.)

Buckley was the first Packer to try to tackle Carter. He was holding him
by the shirt when Carter stripped the ball.  It's a good thing Buckley
didn't take him down right away.

Oops!  Eric Dickerson, who's never even been to a Super Bowl, much less
been the MVP, is the leading active rusher in the NF"L".  The question
should have read as follows:

4.)  What former SB MVP entered the '92 season as the leading active

I posted this a while ago and it got lost in the AFC/NFC flame war, but
it is relevant to this string:  In the early days of the SB, losing the
game was actually considered a stepping stone to winning it later.  Of
the first six SB *losers*, all but one (VIkings) went on to win at least
one SB in a later season.  I think the theory was that a team on the
rise would get to the SB and lose to a veteran team (e. g. Chiefs and
Raiders losing to the Packers in SBs I & II) and then would have "Super
Bowl experience" or something like that and be more prepared to win the
next time.  Of course since then the exact opposite has happened - once
a team loses the SB it gets typed forever as a "loser" (Vikings,
Broncos, Bengals and Bills) with the exception of Washington (lost to
the 17-0 Dolphin team).

Anyway, did Danny White punt a lot for the Cowboys?  In my copy of NFL
