Danny boy should go ahead and hire Gregg. The defense cannot get any better with another coach. The only thing that can improve it is someone like Asante Samuel or Haynesworth. A different coach won't change them from say spot 5 to spot 3, only players can do that.
I expect Favre and company to win today. I think GB's corners can jam up Eli's receivers. From what I've seen, Eli sucks when under pressure. I see the Packers making enough big plays to win.
It is good to see you have some hope for your Chargers. I feel that they play the right kind of football to disrupt the Patriots. They have dominant line play and they have Cromartie. The reason why Martyball failed was because the Chargers could not stop teams that line up with 4 or 5 receivers. That is a typically weakness of the 3-4 defense. It's the reason why Blitzburg will sometime struggle and why New England always comes out passing against San Diego. If Cromartie can cover Moss deep successfully in the beginning stages of the game, San Diego has a shot.
On that note, I think they will pull it off. If they don't, then I am comfortable with New England's status because they beat all of the teams that I thought had a chance against them.

Everything said, Green Bay had every chance to win this game, and it didn't look as if the Giants wanted to win. Fortunately for the New York fans, Green Bay didn't want to win more!
Unfortunately, Chris Collinsworth was the one that forewarned of this outcome in the HBO Inside the NFL show on the Wednesday preceeding the Championship games.
He said that it was hard to teach an old dog new tricks referring to Farve and his impatience while under pressure. Not pressure in the pocket necessarily, but the pressure of the game, and the anxiety to win. I believe his comment on harnessing Farve and keeping him under control is what McCarthy needed to do in order for the Packers to win. He did not, Farve cut loose and made some very ill advised passes. Some without consequence, but a few that did cost the game.
I agree with you on the New York vs. Green Bay game. Green Bay played not to lose harder.
I also agree with you on Favre. Someone has to keep him calm. I though he figured it out last week when they came back from two TDs down but I guess not.
If Justin Tuck gets a sack, New York can win. It's all about the D-line and Aaron Ross.
