2008 NFL Playoffs: AFC Championship Game- Open Thread

Congrats to cgolden and the Cardinals fans at Revenge of the Birds. I feel sick for JasonB and the fans at Bleeding Green Nation. Philly was down 21-6 at halftime, but Donovan McNabb battled back Manning-style and helped Philly take the lead 25-24, but Arizona gained the lead again 32-25. On a 4th down play, McNabb threw to Kevin Curtis, who was interfered with. No call. Unlike Ron Winter in our playoff game this year, who handed San Diego a key third down conversion in OT on a bogus pass interference call, the refs in this game swallowed their whistles.
Officiating in 2008 has been just. utterly. dreadful.
So, the Arizona Cardinals are in the Super Bowl. Edgerrin James is in the Super Bowl. Now, we await the AFC Champs. This is your open thread for the AFC Championship Game.

FYI
Mike Florio is saying Herm Edwards will be Indy’s DC if he is fired from KC. This means Caldwell is likely planning to fire Ron Meeks.

whats worse
Is it says Moore and Mudd almost called it quits and were talked out of it. My guess is they stay this next year to help with Caldwell’s transition, but then we’ll probably be looking for replacements.

Great Card game...
internet went out during it though, weird. Anyhoo… I agreed with the no call by the refs at the end of the game. If you wanna talk about bad calls during that game, how about that first half kick that was called out of bounds that can’t be challenged?

My friend has the facebook status, "Chris asks what if LeBron played football?'
and I told him that he would be the coldest TE ever, but he’s convinced that he would play wide out because he played that in high school. Then he used the Jags Matt Jones as an example of a big wide out, but I told him LeBron would be a damn good blocker,too because he’s so freakin’ strong.

Matt Jones is 2 inches shorter and 30lbs lighter
250lbs is probably a bit much to be a full time WR

I'm uneasy as well
There’s been a trend of fired head coaches coming back and doing well as D-Coordinators, but then they normally just end getting hired to be coaches again. So either we end with a good one for a couple of years at best, or we end up with a bad one. Doesn’t seem like a good situation either way (unless he helps the team win 2 or 3 titles before he leaves, then I’d be OK).
