It surely made my son in law happy. He and my grandson seem to make a career out of backing losing teams, the Giants and Orioles are their main teams, so I see them sad most of the time. He is an Orioles fan and his favorite player was Brooks Robinson. He even named his son, from 1st marriage, Brooks. It's kinda sad really. Sometimes I wish I were emotional enough to get excited by a sports team, but witnessing the ups and downs of being a fan, I think life hits hard enough most of the time that I don't need anything else to pull me to the dark side.That's too bad
No offense, but the loss made me very happy.
I do think the Vikings record was better than their actual team. I feel like the NFC doesn't have many good teams. The 49ers and Eagles, but outside of that everyone was very flawed.

When you're the leader, you don't have to follow.
I only watch one sport ā¦ one team, but it brings me great pleasure. The highs, the lows, the winning seasons, the rebuilding years, all good.

No offense taken. I was thrilled the Packers didn't make it to the playoffs.
I was thrilled we blew the Vikings out a few weeks ago.No offense taken. I was thrilled the Packers didn't make it to the playoffs.
But honestly, whether we made the playoffs or not, the Packers weren't going to beat the 49ers. We would've gotten blown out.

Oh, I did at one time. I was born in NY State so through my grammar school years I used to bring a 1950's transistor radio that had a speaker that sounded like strangling a cat with me so I could keep track of what the Yankees were doing. Whitey Ford, Mickey Mantle, Casey Stengel, Roger Maris, Yogi Barra and all of the line up and then they got old, injured, sick or retired. Then I knew it was time to take the old 9 volt battery out of the radio and put it in retirement too.

After that I followed the Mets for a while and considered them my team. I stuck with them until they won the World Series in 1969. After that I just lost interest in sports.

Meanwhile tonight, the Cowboys kicker tonight has missed 4 extra points.

They won though. Handily.
Perhaps Brady will be retiring ā¦ again.
It will be challenging for Giants to play a night game in Philly. One thing about playing at night, fans will be liquored up all day prior to game time.@ajrwdwgirl , I am home now and I did a web search: " NFL Playoff Scores"....WHAT!? The Giants beat the Vikings! Huh! ...How did that happen!?

Maybe.
The Giants fans are not remarkably different from the Eagles fans. I don't think the Giants players will feel intimidated.
Additionally, I've been listening to NY's Sports Radio Station (WFAN) and they make 2 points:
1) The quarterback for the Giants ( Daniel Jones) is playing great
2) The Giants have a lot of confidence right now.
They certainly could win.
(I hope not)
The Giants feel that they can win , the Eagles had the week off to rest up their bodies. Both teams have loyal die hard fans that live all over the USA.

And in Canada. Hubby is a huge Eagles fan.

Reminds me of when my Nan was in hospital for the last time. Every day Iād go to see her and ask āHow are you feeling?ā
And every time, she would raise her hands, wiggle her fingers, and say āWith theseā.
She was a grand old gal.
