Ralph Wilson Stadium in Buffalo, Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, and the New Meadowlands Stadium. That said, these stadiums have procedures for preventing the accumulation of ice and snow during the season. At TCF Bank Stadium, the season was believed to be over.)

Snow is an insulator an accumulation of it helps keep the ground from freezing it doesnt make it freeze more. So the fact that TCF staduim had snow on it makes it a softer field to play on then say the other 3 stadiums.

You would know this if you ever watched a show like Ice Road truckers. If they allows snow to pile up on the road it doesnt freeze well enough bc it insulates it from the outside air. Causing the trucks to break through the ice. When they remove the snow it allows the air to get to it which allows it to freeze. Which makes it possible to drive over.

Its the same thing that makes igloos liveable. It insulates the cold air from the outside from coming in and keeps the warmness produced from your body heat inside. If snow kept things coulder then there would be a lot of dead eskimoos on our hands.

#8
The Falcons currently are closing in on the top seed in the NFC. The Eagles, with that epic win at the New Meadowlands, look to be locking in at No. 2.

Uhh… no? Chicago holds the tiebreaker over Philly by way of a head-to-head victory. Could you at least do a basic level of research so you don’t look like a total fool?

brady is a system quarterback who needs superior coaching to succeed. vick is so talented he could kill dogs anywhere. my vote would be for that dickhead lineman who ran back that squibkick 71 yards, or the catholics would’ve lost to the protestants. bigtime.

@sickpuppyz

and if you look at the games vick hasnt been in the whole game (packers, redskins I, falcons, titans), the eagles are 1-3. games that he has started and finished, the eagles are 9-1. thats a better win percentage than brady, and considering that vicks only loss was the bears and bradys only loss besides the jets were the mighty mighty browns. and the browns game wasnt even a late game heartbreaker, it was a 34-14 blowout. vick kept the game close and lost by one possession.

vick absolutely deserves the mvp. if you took vick out of the eagles they would probly collapse, i can admit it. but if you take tom brady out of the pats and replaced him (lets say with a career backup from usc), they still play fine.

@ lance227:

By rule you can’t get the ball back after a safety. It’s a “free” kick…

Everyone get off vick. U might not like him as a person……but he the hottest qb in da game. So shut up

He can be both “the hottest qb in da game” AND be a total piece of crap as a human being.

Who deserves the MVP and who will get it are most likely going to be two different things. Many people cannot separate what has happened in Mike Vicks personal life from what he has done on the football field. If all of us are honest we would have to conclude that not many people thought that Mike Vick would bring the eagles back to even having a chance in that game. Secondly, what other qb could have done it the way he did? It was an unbelievable performance.

It is maddening to see all the idiotic “Falcons” fans at the Dome STILL wearing Vick jerseys. It will be hard enough to beat the Eagles with our fans rooting for the home team, but to have our “fans” rooting for the opposing team will be impossible. People will have to take a side once and for all. Either you want the Atlanta Falcons to go to the Super Bowl or you want Vick and his new team to go. You can’t have both. RISE UP Atlanta and leave those Vick jerseys and memories at home in the closet where they belong.

The absence of Troy was felt, but Pitt would have one this game if, you know, those stellar corners weren’t allowed to commit pass interference on every play.

Why didnt Steelers try onside kick on free kick after safety? Jets were clearly not playing for it and it is perfectly legal. Shula pulled it off once against Bungles.

The Giants were forced to pass because they couldn’t get anywhere running the ball. It would have all worked out for them if they just kept victimizing Dmitri Patterson.

“With all due respect to the four other NFC teams that will qualify for the playoffs, it’s hard not to root to see Vick return to the Georgia Dome in a conference title game.”

No its not. Its very easy to hope never to see that scumbag Vick again. It makes me want to vomit every time I see that POS or hear his name.

No one wants to play the dangerous Ravens in the playoffs…. Theres not one team out there that can blow the Ravens out besides maybe Manning and the Colts (since they always seem to have their number).

And more Giants play calling blunders…when they got the ball with a tie score and about 1:16 left in the game, they called 3 passes. 2 incomplete and the 3rd was a sack. If the 3rd play was another incomplete and not a sack, they would have punted to the eagles with about 55 seconds left. I thought for sure they would have at least made sure not to give the eagles the ball back under any circumstance.

If Mike Vick and the Eagles play the Falcons for a chance at the Super Bowl at the Georgia Dome… that would be the single biggest game at the Georgia Dome, ever.

And it will split this city right down the middle. I think that there should be a mayoral decree or something before the game, because the majority of Atlanta are Falcons fans. But there are more Mike Vick fans in Atlanta than Matt Ryan fans. Sounds terrible, but look in the stands and count #2s against the #7s.

I mean, if the Falcons play the Panthers you’ll see a lot of Vick jerseys. I just want to see what the city looks like after the game.

It’s not missig Troy that is the problem, it’s a horrible offensive line and even worse play calling.

Unless I’m mistaken, it really should be noted that, as of now, the Bears have the advantage for the 2nd seed in the NFC due to their head to head win over Philadelphia, assuming they finished tied. Now, the Bears have to beat Minnesota, Jets, and the Packers, so the road is a bit tougher than Minnesota/Dallas (Philly’s remaining games), but it is possible.

Bye Mr. Mangini and take your staff with you. Dead offense other than the smoke and mirrors. And defense fails at the most important times.

pppplllleeeease…just cause Brady had an average game you already decided that vick is the mvp. look at the entire picture and is not even close..Brady has actually played ALL of the games.
