fine, i heartily dislike it because it is way too slow, and half of the time there is a flag on the play. and more than half of those times i don't know why.

Frankly, I think this weekend's games are shaping up rather well.
NFC Final
Both Philly and the Panthers are teams that just flat out find ways to win. However, I think the Panthers are a better football team. Delhomme is a real x-factor in this game. If he plays as solidly as he has and doesn't make many mistakes watch out. Also, the Eagles O-Line got run over by the Packers. The Panthers should be able to get pressure just rushing their front four. I would argue that they have the best D-Line in the NFL.
However, the Eagles are at home at with Donovan you never know so we'll see how it plays out.
AFC Final
This is a huge game. Peyton Manning should have a good game, but probably will not put up the gaudy numbers he has thus far in the postseason. As much as I hate to say it, I just think the Patriots are just too solid of a team to get de-railed. Plus, I have the utmost of respect for Tom Brady. A 38-12 record overall, including 4-0 in the playoffs is nothing to sneeze at. He just flat out finds ways to win. That seems like the theme of the season.
So frankly, I think Patriots versus either Philly or Carolina would be interesting. I like solid football. You can keep your flashy crap. I'll take a 17-14 overtime solid slugfest over a 41-38 shootout any day. I like to see both offensive and defensive prowess on the field.
