(2) Both of your teams still have 60 minutes of football to play before you are faced with the prospect of a Superbowl appearance. Cross the bridge when you get there.
AVG, in terms of putting the backups in, I am never in favor of this. So long as the other team is fielding players, it is your job to play all four quarters. I know why teams do it (namely saving key players from potential injuries), but it always tastes bad to me.

Yes sir!
60 minutes left indeed. Yes I am Nervous. Eli Manning is the real deal. Just as Tom Brady is.
I think what I have been nailing too much (annoying yes, sorry) is that SF and to a lesser extent Baltimore was not supposed to be here.
Yet they are.
I understand you are trying to be a voice of reality. But in all honesty, I never thought SF would beat New Orleans.
That just showed me that a team like Baltimore can beat a high powered new England. And the 49ers can down the so called "elite" Eli Manning. (we did before)
Maybe my logic is based on faith, but SF has shown me nothing but hard fought victory and heart.
SF and Baltimore are 2 not so good teams who got this far on heart, and dedication to the team and the coaches alone. That is why I root for them.
Logic tells me it should be a NE vs NY Superbowl. But Murphy and his law has been a factor in this years playoffs so far.
I understand it would be boring to you. But exciting to others.
Remember the Yankees vs Mets World series? I loved it!
The rest of the country thought it stunk though.
