    1:22 to go.

    Core Blimey. Nothing more boring than watching a PLAYOFF game where one team has ZERO INTEREST IN WINNING.

    You Yanks gotta get a gander at CFL Rules. [​IMG] http://www.13thman.com/cflvsnfl.html
    3 minute warning break in each half not 2 minutes.
    Note: After the 3 minute warning break there are ZERO clock runnoffs.
    Even after running plays the clock stops the instant the ref blows the whistle.
    Thus, the closing minutes of a CFL game can seem like an eternity, with miraculous comebacks by trailing teams.
    - After the 3 minute warning break it is common to have three successive scoring plays. TD or FG.

    Secondly, ± no kneel downs in the end zone after receiving a kick. [​IMG]
    CFL Rules: get caught in the end zone and you lose a point.
    MAN OH MAN does that make for a whole heap of tight finishes! Awesome good rule.

    On the other hand, the CFL does not have a fair catch rule.
    Frightening watching kick receivers turn into a puff of red mist...

    GO HAWKS!
    Man, am I pumped for this one!

    GB @ AC: This game may go down as THE greatest game in history.
    If ever, IF EVER a game deserved to go into overtime, it is this one!

    There will be no losers in this game. The Fans won. Period.
    You-know-who can go home with PRIDE.

    If you missed the game, TURN OFF THE RADIO, STAY AWAY FROM THE NEWS, STAY OFF THE SPORTS CHANNEL.
    Watch the game on NFL Replay. Its epic. No other word for it.

    What a finish! What an end game (to the 4th Quarter.)

    Pray Pray tell me...
    Why couldn't those KC wankers play like this? Huh?

    PAIN! PAIN! PAIN!
    What should have been the best game of the year? SS vs CP.
    1st quarter ROUTE! Sack City. PAIN!

    If you don't hear from me again, I am loading my pistol and sharpening the Seppuku Sword.

    Edit.
    1:45 PM. There is life and hope in my little world once again. Disregard above. K?
    Awesome comeback! Another one for the ages maybe?

    I just find it kind of interesting how in both yesterday and today's games all of the home teams won, whereas the weekend before all of the road teams won. Either way I'm happy my Patriots won, but I am looking forward to the Manning and Brady match up.

    One of the surprising rare occasions when the two best teams from each conference get to meet in the championship games.

    N.F.C Winner should win Superbowl I think.

    "Or any players who could make it in NFL :)"

    Warren Moon, Doug Flutie, Mervin Fernandez, someone, someone...too lazy to look them all up.

    But, yeah, if they could play NFL- most would.
    I stopped watching CFL because players would bounce around way too much. CFL, for me, was all about tight knit team, community, stability. I wanted to see players stay with the team 4, 6, 10 years...It's like college ball now, new guys every 3 years.

    Warren Moon was treated with admiration and respect in Edmonton. Think he won 2 or 3 Grey cups there.
    When he went to Houston, there was a lot of racism.
    Flutie overcame the too small handle the NFL gave him. The CFL accepted him, and there were some awesome games. He eventually went to the NFL and had awesome games there.

    DB @ NEP Gee Says KKK ryst. 3 Field Goals woulda won the game.
    What's with NEP time management the last five minutes. Eh? Kricky!

    Can somebody please, please tell me how you can get an interception (in the endzone, last minute of the game)
    and your team does NOT get possession of the ball... the opponents get an on-side kickoff.

    You Yanks have NUTSO rules...

    With the way the Panthers played against the Cardinals, and the way the dominated both sides of the football, I really think that they have the better shot at winning the Super Bowl.
