Go!!!!!

 Convince the wife & all 4 go!go!go! Make it a family outing the kids will remember the rest of their lives, playoff experiences are much better than regular season no matter the sport, imo.

Me, I would never buy tickets for a Play-off game, but if I had them, I'd probably ................... GO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was hoping the Pack would play the Redskins and that my pal the GMan would consider coming out from MD.  That can’t happen in the first two rounds but there is a way they could meet in the NFC Championship Game.  If that becomes a reality I think he should come for the weekend!  We could leave the wives at home, (my wife loves the Pack but only goes to September games) and take my kids who happen to really like both the Pack and the GMan.   

I'm a little pissed-off ; What ever happened to "Keep the Redskins out of the Play-offs" ? Real Cowboy fans remember those days ............. I'm not saying the Redskins shouldn't have won, actually they scare me, but the Cowboys laid down ............. Big Time, laid down .............. Jerry and Wade may regret that decision later in the playoffs .............. atleast look like you're trying to win, Gee, the Giants atleast did that with the Pats ......... Pretty poorly planned game Cowboys ................. better wake up or it will be One and Done !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 OB, Jerry's trying to figure out a way to get D-Mac.

Steelers and Colts laid down too -- disgusting. Maybe they need to get rid of game 16 for those teams that are in before that (since they're aren't going to play anyways) -- and have one game playoffs for the teams that are trying to get in.

   I agree about keeping the Redskins out of the play-offs.... Sheesh, they will probably come back and beat Dallas... I just think that Red Ball took his foot off of the throttle when they clinched the East.

Regarding Boomac's playoff tickets:

USE THEM. As an experienced attendee of numerous NFL playoff tilts, including 5 conference championships and 3 Super Bowls, I am here to tell you that there is NOTHING like playoff football. I'll tell you the same thing I told IndyKlipschFan when he got drawn for Super Bowl tickets last year - this is THE REASON you become a season ticket holder in the first place - to see your team go for the championship. One can make money from numerous other methods and lines of work, but use your playoff tix, because it might be a long time before such opportunity is seen again. 

Regarding teams "lying down":

If you are upset because your team failed to make the playoffs - because some other team didn't play all of their starters - well, the only thing I can say is that your team should have played better and won more games during the regular season. The teams that "laid back" because their playoff position was secure EARNED that right to protect those starters for the playoff run. The one team that went against the grain  - the New York Giants - will most certainly hear about this if they lose next week to Tampa. Somehow I think the Giants fans won't be too happy about playing the Pats tough if the Giants lose to Tampa - and you can GUARANTEE that the New York press will want Coughlin's head on a plate if this occurs.

back in the mid/late 80's on the los angeles lakers final game of the season, which they had homecourt locked up, pat riley didn't play his starters (magic, kareem, worthy). they league fined the team (25K i think) saying that they cheated the fans that purchased tickets for that game thinking they were going to see the superstars play.

Audible – I went to the 2003 play-off game against Atlanta only to have the Packers lay and egg.  You got a sense the minute they came onto the field that they weren’t going to win.  Michael Vick had a great game but seriously, he was playing against a team that was either unprepared or unconvinced they could win.  I blame Mike Sherman, the coach at the time, for the lack of fire!  It was like……we drove 3 hours in this traffic, sat in the cold and were forced to watch this?  Then came Sherman’s bone head decisions during the Eagles play-off game in 04.  My brother had tickets to that fiasco and I almost flew in to attend.  My old friends and relatives in the Delaware Valley are still laughing about that one.

I do like our new coach tho’ and I credit him, (for the most part) with this season’s success.  The team is usually prepared and they look like a tightly knit team.  I’m still on the fence!

 Please, the fight doesn't always go to the strongest, nor the race to the swiftest, but it's a good way to bet".

As a transplanted Californian, who has been in New England, for some time and have watched as we transformed into a football state,between The Patriots and BC, it's quite impressive.

After a 16-0 season, Tom Brady was his usual modest, focused self, as any good platoon leader would be.  For all you Dallass  fans, I have but one thing to say "Patriots Rule". 

TX, isn't that home to the two cities with the highest rates of obescity in the USA ? 

Are you guys kidding me?  The Skins dominated from start to finish with Cowboy starters in the game most of the first half. Maybe if TO made the trip it would have been a little different but the way the Skins have been playing the past 3 games compared to the Cowboys???  I suppose the playoffs will have to be the real test.

AND YES MR BOOMAC..........IF THE SKINS AND PACKERS MEET IN 3 WEEKS, I'LL BE THERE!!!!

I agree I think Dallas had to pull Romo...He didn't look comfortable...Maybe he's having flashbacks of last year
