i havent been this excited for a football game in maybe 6 years...lets go phins!

[iihungrieii]

TITANS TO THE SUPERBOWL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

x

[CarlosLunes]

bucs, please lose
vikings, please lose
bears, please lose
eagles, please win

[J.C.]

If New England wins, I'll end up rooting for Miami. If New England loses, I probably won't care who wins.

[xbrokendownx]

if New England wins, wouldnt you want the Jets to win so New England wins the division?

[J.C.]

I'm not a Pats fan.

[xbrokendownx]

ahhh right i forgot you like the Cheifs

sorry about last week ;-)

[J.C.]

Nope, I appreciate it. The worse the record the better.

[xbrokendownx]

haha yea true story..after miami won a game last year i was definitely pulling for losses the rest of the way

which is why i kind of want detroit to win tomorrow...being a fan of a team that bad is not fun, i know from experience

[pand75]

Go Bucs and Chargers

[crit]

go pats



go jets

[Drew Beringer]

Going to the Packers game, hope I witness 0-16. I swear, if the Packers lose tomorrow by a field goal, I don't even know....haha

[rcrook]

Here's to hoping we become the first 4-8 team to ever make the playoffs

[preppyak]

lets go Lions...finish it up.

I would also like to see the Eagles spiral out of control v the Cowboys...and, maybe for fun, Favre throw 4 INT's, the 4th coming on the final possession to solidify the loss

[DaveFeelsRight]

go bears
go giants

[Chris M.]

Let's go Bears, Giants, Pats and Jets!

[jbaseball44]

Cowboys better win.

[MyWorldEntire]

Let's go Bears and Giants! And if the Vikings don't collapse, let's go Eagles and Raiders!

[preppyak]

so...if the Lions win, Corey Fisher will walk back to Detroit?
"If we win, I ain't catching the plane back home," he said with a laugh. "I'll walk back to Detroit." So, that means he thinks his team's chances of winning are so bad that he would risk a 500 mile walk should they win...that's a sign to me that the Lions may well go 0-16 next season if they are that low right now, it took that 76-77 Bucs team til the final weeks of their 2nd season to win a game

[tacosforcharles]

Go Pack! Ha, I'm half expecting to get embarrassed today, yuck.

[preppyak]

holy shit
Bills radio play-by-plan man John Murphy had a lens blown out of his glasses while doing an on-field spot for NFL Network.
Now that is some ridiculous wind...and it re-bent the goal posts after the fixed them

[Recovery Room]

I can't believe the regular season is over already! Man, it sure went by fast.

[preppyak]

James Harrison inactive for the Steelers...Ben not warming up while Leftwich and Dixon are...smart move

[selftitled85]

I will not be pleased if the Giants only play their starters for a half or so today. Although they beat Carolina last week they still have a lot of room for improvement and definitely need a good game from the defense to get their confidence up.

[LeftWideOpen]

steady 40 mph winds with gusts up to 60 in Buffalo.

won't be able to kick anything beyond an extra point, either. these are not advantageous conditions for the Pats.

[lauren<3s music]

ugh why is time moving SO SLOW today? i wonder how sloppy the giants will play today :-|

[preppyak]

I will not be pleased if the Giants only play their starters for a half or so today. Although they beat Carolina last week they still have a lot of room for improvement and definitely need a good game from the defense to get their confidence up.
Well, then you won't like this...

Giants quarterback Eli Manning (http://www.profootballtalk.com/2008/12/28/eli-to-play-only-one-half/#) told ESPN’s Bob Holtzman that he expects to play only one half of Sunday’s game against the Vikings.

[selftitled85]

Jacobs, Boss, Ross, and Cofield are all inactive for the Giants this week.

[AshesAshes]

The battle for the AFC Worst is gonna be epic/bad enjoy the playoffs rcrook

[MyWorldEntire]

I will not be pleased if the Giants only play their starters for a half or so today. Although they beat Carolina last week they still have a lot of room for improvement and definitely need a good game from the defense to get their confidence up.

I wholeheartedly agree!

[lauren<3s music]

if they don't play like they have been, i don't see the problem. If they want to pull this half assed wait til the bitter end, then its ridiculous. they need some momentum, maybe the first half of the game will be enough for them to get it back, but probably not sadly enough

[MyWorldEntire]

Well, then you won't like this...

damn

[selftitled85]

Well, then you won't like this...

Mother fucker!

Coughlin showed last year that it is far better to go into the post season with momentum than play the last game trying not to get hurt. No matter what way you look at it the Giants have lost 2 out of 3...and if they lose today no matter what it will be 3 of 4. Considering if Minny wins they are in and therefore a potential contender for the playoffs makes me think a similar situation to last year could occur this year with the Giants this time on the wrong end.

[preppyak]

The battle for the AFC Worst is gonna be epic/bad enjoy the playoffs rcrook
I'm excited for that game...between the Rivers/Cutler yell-fest in game to the Hoculi miscall to the fact its for the chance to lose in the 1st round of the playoffs...should be entertaining, if not good football

[LeftWideOpen]

I would absolutely die if Jacksonville somehow pulled off the W, the Pats won and the Dolphins took care of the Jets.

Give me the 6th seed over the division. I'd take road games at Miami and (potentially) Tennessee over a home game against Baltimore and a road game at Pittsburgh.

But that scenario is highly unlikely. The Jags quit a long time ago.

[FondestMemory]

i'd love to see the jags win. i don't want the ravens to make the playoffs.

i'd also like to see the pats and dolphins take care of business.

in the nfc, i want the bears to lose, the vikes to win, the eagles to win, and the bucs to lose. or the vikes can lose if the bears lose.

[lauren<3s music]

:nono:

[KidRobot]

Go Eagles, Dolphins, Chargers, Falcons and Bucs

[LeftWideOpen]

yeah, I'd like to see the Vikings and Eagles get in, but I can live with the Vikings and Bucs. Basically, any scenario where the Cowboys are out, I am okay with.

and go Saints. I'd love to see Atlanta snag the 1st round bye.

[lauren<3s music]

while i realize they're going in no matter what, i hate how people keep saying the giants have nothing to lose, because imo they have a lot to prove after their last few games

[J.C.]

Yeah, I'm rooting for Atlanta to get the bye. And I'd like to see Denver complete the chokejob tonight.

[FondestMemory]

while i realize they're going in no matter what, i hate how people keep saying the giants have nothing to lose, because imo they have a lot to prove after their last few games

they can start proving shit in two weeks when it matters.

not much they can prove today.

[lauren<3s music]

they can start proving shit in two weeks when it matters.

not much they can prove today.
i think every game matters. look at last year, when they were confident and playing well they continued to play better vs now.

[J.C.]

My 1 o'clock games are going to struggle to keep my interest I think. Got the Giants game and the Pat game here.

[preppyak]

while i realize they're going in no matter what, i hate how people keep saying the giants have nothing to lose, because imo they have a lot to prove after their last few games
Different things in my mind though...the only thing the Giants can really lose in the Vikings games is players due to injury. If you're already making the argument they are on a slide, a win over the Vikings isn't going to correct that completely...might add a little confidence, but if they need a win in Week 17 over the Vikings for confidence, they've already lost their divisional game, no matter the opponent.

What they need is a healthy D-line and a healthy run attack...both of which can be better achieved by resting players for 2 weeks before the divisional game.

edit: And when I think about it...the Vikings only have 1/2 the Williams wall and a middle run pass defense, so running over them doesn't prove much in the immediate, nor does throwing a ton on them

[S9Dallasoz]

My 1 o'clock games are going to struggle to keep my interest I think. Got the Giants game and the Pat game here.

Gave us the same in Texas.
Afternoon will be better.

[preppyak]

hmm...guess Ben is starting...though he wasn't warming up an hour before the game. Maybe he'll play the first quarter/half

[FondestMemory]

the chiefs have 9 sacks all season.

the fewest ever in a 16 game season is 13.

hello history.

[FondestMemory]

hmm...guess Ben is starting...though he wasn't warming up an hour before the game. Maybe he'll play the first quarter/half

i'm fine with that. we can win this game with dixon. although, byron will play first. i think we'll see both though.

also like to see limas and dallas get a lot of play.

[J.C.]

the chiefs have 9 sacks all season.

the fewest ever in a 16 game season is 13.

hello history.

If Gunther has any pride, he'll be dialing up blitzes 95% of the time today.

[S9Dallasoz]

Go ahead, Bills, run every time.

excuse my fairly obvious statement, but a win always helps. i just would rather them play strong up front, rest their starters during the second and play strong before going into playoffs. i don't think it's do or die, but i would rather not see them pull a squeaker.

[preppyak]

yeah, no kidding Limas and Dallas, and Leftwich is more than capable of beating the Browns, thus why I figured Ben would sit.

I was secretly hoping, before reports broke they were gone, that the Browns would play great, the Steelers would lose, and Crennel/Savage would stay in Cleveland, because that's pretty much guaranteed wins for us for the last few years

[bostonryan]

haha that was the worst punt ive ever seen. we got it at the 50 yard line now, its time for a TD

[dont you move]

going to the jets game today.

I have a feeling everything the jets need to happen (ne or bal loss) will happen but the jets still end up losing. part of me is hoping chad pennington beats the shit out of the jets.

[FondestMemory]

fuck that. never hope for a loss to the browns.

and gus johnson needs to get his shit together. he's having a horrible game so far.

[preppyak]

Understandable. I think the same with the Steelers, but, I also know the team has won in the clutch when needed, so a meaningless loss in the final week won't kill their confidence, especially if they don't go in thinking its a must win

[bostonryan]

dont say that haha, you know you hate the fish too

[lauren<3s music]

Understandable. I think the same with the Steelers, but, I also know the team has won in the clutch when needed, so a meaningless loss in the final week won't kill their confidence, especially if they don't go in thinking its a must win
agreed. i mean i think they know the difference and they've showed they'll pull it out at the end, but i would prefer them to just crush this one and then rest. plus i have money on the game.

[xbrokendownx]

slater LOL

[preppyak]

fuck that. never hope for a loss to the browns.

and gus johnson needs to get his shit together. he's having a horrible game so far.
haha, yeah, clearly he's resting his starting material for the playoffs.

And yes, it was a stupid thought I had...but, I would have loved to see Crennel stay there...we're perfect against him. And I can't believe they'll be a legit team immediately next year

[preppyak]

agreed. i mean i think they know the difference and they've showed they'll pull it out at the end, but i would prefer them to just crush this one and then rest. plus i have money on the game.
ha, and now it all makes sense

[CubbyNick42]

Brandon Lloyd...still bad.

[lauren<3s music]

ha, and now it all makes sense
:blush: it usually works to my advantage. most guys just think i'm sweet and dumb and give me incredible odds.

[bostonryan]

man i feel bad for jackson, especially in the first half since buffalo is throwing into the wind. new england knows they are rushing it 90% of the time and are killing him

[FondestMemory]

:blush: it usually works to my advantage. most guys just think i'm sweet and dumb and give me incredible odds.

it's the booty.

[bostonryan]

near new england, please stop fucking rushing every play. it sucks

[lauren<3s music]

it's the booty.
:-d. its not that good or you'd be cheering for the giants.

this game is moving so fast for no score

[CubbyNick42]

Bears pick up a FG after a Slaton fumble in Houston territory. 10-0 in the first.

[SwiftSilentDead]

I get the Vikings-Giants and Pats-Bills games.

I'm still bitter about losing to the Giants last week so go Vikings! Plus, I think the Vikings are more deserving than the Bears to make the playoffs and they need to win this to get in.

I think the Pats deserve to go to the playoffs but it would be hilarious to see them choke to the Bills, so go Bills? Haha.

All the Ravens and Panthers need to do is win today. Only the Ravens need to win to make the playoffs and the Panthers are aiming for the division. They're playing beatable teams, so I think this will turn out good.

[bostonryan]

all that for a fucking field goal... i can tell this game is going to stress me out

[SwiftSilentDead]

So, Carolina gets another field goal. Guess we should get all the points we can get.


For fucks sake Peterson, hold on to the football!

[1moreandimfree]

Fucking AD

[SwiftSilentDead]

Go Chester!

[S9Dallasoz]

Hey, Fred got some yards.

[1moreandimfree]

Hahaha.. That peyton commerical

[bostonryan]

Hey, Fred got some yards.


i know, i threw my remote against the wall. i need a new remote haha

[SwiftSilentDead]

Vikes get 3 points. Guess it's not bad since AP was shut down for the whole drive.

Brees throws an incompletion on 3rd and goal! Fuck yes!

[bostonryan]

this game is making me want to die haha

[lauren<3s music]

ugh, this is how it starts

[S9Dallasoz]

no more long FGs...

[bostonryan]

HAHA! that was a knuckle kick!

[KidRobot]

I'm still bitter about losing to the Giants last week so go Vikings! Plus, I think the Vikings are more deserving than the Bears to make the playoffs and they need to win this to get in.

This game means absolutely nothing to the Giants.

[LeftWideOpen]

that kick was hilarious.

he had that thing lined up towards the tunnel and the wind knocked it completely sideways. it was like it was shot out of a cannon.

[CarlosLunes]

giants are a bunch of douche

[SwiftSilentDead]

This game means absolutely nothing to the Giants.

I know. I'm just bitter about losing to them.


Mushin Muhammad just made another long catch on 1st & 20! We better get a TD out of this drive.

[bostonryan]

thank god lamont "big L" jordan can get some yards

[KidRobot]

giants are a bunch of douche

Oh.

[1moreandimfree]

nice!

[SwiftSilentDead]

There goes Peterson!

[lauren<3s music]

giants are a bunch of douche

ugh normally i'd argue but sigh

[bostonryan]

ugh normally i'd argue but sigh


eli manning looks like someones downs syndrome brother

[bostonryan]

MATT CASSEL! YES!


god i wish he was good enough that we could get rid of that douche brady

[lauren<3s music]

eli manning looks like someones downs syndrome brother
because that matters how he plays? thank you captain obvious

[SwiftSilentDead]

Panthers settle for another field goal. Damn... at least it's points.

[1moreandimfree]

typical

[bostonryan]

because that matters how he plays? thank you captain obvious


hes mediocre at best on an excellent team

[lauren<3s music]

coming back

[SwiftSilentDead]

Hahahaha! There goes the touchdown.

[lauren<3s music]

hes mediocre at best on an excellent team
i'll deal with you later. yes i'm sure he's an average qb. right

[KidRobot]

eli manning looks like someones downs syndrome brother

Great logic.


Guess not ever quarterback looks as good as Tom Brady.

[bostonryan]

i'll deal with you later. yes i'm sure he's an average qb. right


did you watch the giants at all before their super bowl season?

[1moreandimfree]

Hahahaha! There goes the touchdown.

Man, I'm a Vikings fan. But you are annoying right now.

[bostonryan]

Great logic.


Guess not ever quarterback looks as good as Tom Brady.


im not a fan of tom brady, so i dont care how good looking or ugly he is

[FondestMemory]

willie!!!!!!!!!

[lauren<3s music]

did you watch the giants at all before their super bowl season?
no because i'm a bandwagon fan and the only reason i watch football is because of the hot guys in tight pants.

did you watch the giants before they went to the super bowl?

[J.C.]

Is it me or did that Gostkowski field goal look good?

[bostonryan]

no because i'm a bandwagon fan and the only reason i watch football is because of the hot guys in tight pants.

did you watch the giants before they went to the super bowl?


yeah, im a big fan of jeremy shockey. i actually crossed my fingers for them before that mess the patriots had last year

[KidRobot]

did you watch the giants at all before their super bowl season?

He won the Super Bowl after they rid of the distractions in the locker room. Tiki and Shockey were the worst things possible for him.

He's still really young and he's getting exponentially better every year. Not every quarterback starts out as good as Cassel or Rodgers.

[bostonryan]

Is it me or did that Gostkowski field goal look good?



it was really hard to tell from that behind the goal post angle, but it curved so violently at the end that i assumed it was no good

[lauren<3s music]

yeah, im a big fan of jeremy shockey. i actually crossed my fingers for them before that mess the patriots had last year
so then you're just being dumb. stop it.

[bostonryan]

He won the Super Bowl after they rid of the distractions in the locker room. Tiki and Shockey were the worst things possible for him.

He's still really young and he's getting exponentially better every year. Not every quarterback starts out as good as Cassel or Rodgers.


how many years left on plax's contract? hes probably the last distraction on the team

[FondestMemory]

how many years left on plax's contract? hes probably the last distraction on the team

his contract doesn't matter.

he won't be coming back to the giants.

[KidRobot]

how many years left on plax's contract? hes probably the last distraction on the team

his contract doesn't matter.

he won't be coming back to the giants.

Exactly.

[rcrook]

The battle for the AFC Worst is gonna be epic/bad enjoy the playoffs rcrook

you do remember who our coach is. you can never guarantee victory for us as long as he is on the sidelines.

[bostonryan]

his contract doesn't matter.

he won't be coming back to the giants.


i know, but it would suck to just have to waive him and pay all the rest of his contract. if he had a year or two some team might take a chance on him like the pats did on moss

[SwiftSilentDead]

Saints shoot themselves in the foot again and it looks like we're going to get in the endzone this time.

[lauren<3s music]

his contract doesn't matter.

he won't be coming back to the giants.
i'm telling you cowboys. will happen

[+thecalisonme]

this bills game is a joke with the wind

[FondestMemory]

i'm telling you cowboys. will happen

i doubt it. not with to and roy williams. there's no room for him there.

the raiders make sense.

[bostonryan]

this bills game is a joke with the wind


yeah, i hate the running game and this is not fun to watch at all

[KidRobot]

i'm telling you cowboys. will happen

Not the craziest thing I've ever heard.

He would fit in perfect with that jumbled mess of players they call a team.

[FondestMemory]

dammit refs.

cost us a defensive td.

again.

[bostonryan]

Not the craziest thing I've ever heard.

He would fit in perfect with that jumbled mess of players they call a team.


haha owens, williams, and plax... i think owens will be crying even worse about the ball being spread around more

[SwiftSilentDead]

Thank god we didn't settle for another fucking field goal. DeAngleo already has 107 yards.

[lauren<3s music]

i doubt it. not with to and roy williams. there's no room for him there.

the raiders make sense.

either or. raiders more likely, but the cowboys would just be too ironic and make it such a shit show.

Not the craziest thing I've ever heard.

He would fit in perfect with that jumbled mess of players they call a team.

ding ding ding.

[Scott Weber]

deangelo williams is beasting again. over 100 yards already.

[KidRobot]

haha owens, williams, and plax... i think owens will be crying even worse about the ball being spread around more

As long as it's not to Witten, it's fine.

[bostonryan]

As long as it's not to Witten, it's fine.


secret meetings!!!1!!one!

[KidRobot]

ding ding ding.

I love that now that Plax is gone the Giants "big" players are all drafted by the Giants or picked up off practice squads.

Jacobs, Eli, Tuck, Osi, Webster and Ross are all drafted by the Giants.

[SwiftSilentDead]

Holy fuck. Saints turn the ball over AGAIN.

I was silly for worrying about this game.

[tm decomposer]

Derek Ward is one of the more harder working backs.

[KidRobot]

secret meetings!!!1!!one!


Hahahahahahaha. I love it.

[KidRobot]

Derek Ward is one of the more harder working backs.

5 more yards and him and Jacobs become the 6th duo ever to have 1,000 yards each.

[bostonryan]

haha jackson already has 100 yards... FML

[1moreandimfree]

go texans!

[bostonryan]

fred jackson stole the football! haha

[tm decomposer]

5 more yards and him and Jacobs become the 6th duo ever to have 1,000 yards each.

I'm not a huge fan of the Giants, but they sure look good without Jacobs. Though Manning is making useless throws downfiel.d

[loveisdead]

fred jackson stole the football! haha
That was hysterical when the announcer said, "and why is fred jackson running off the field with the football?"

[anamericangod]

That last play in the Bills/Pats game is one of the most ridiculous things I've seen all year. No idea what the fuck just happened there.

[bostonryan]

That was hysterical when the announcer said, "and why is fred jackson running off the field with the football?"


he started running off the field, stopped, looked at the football, and continued off the field haha

[FondestMemory]

i think ben's concussed.

[SwiftSilentDead]

This is beginning to feel too easy.

They finally get some offense going and then fumble the ball.

Nevermind, turns out it wasn't a fumble.

[preppyak]

i think ben's concussed.
Yeah...if it was ribs, he'd probably have gotten up...and he was moving his hands and legs with no problems, so I don't think its a back/neck thing as much. He definitely had McGinnest land on his head

[preppyak]

haha owens, williams, and plax... i think owens will be crying even worse about the ball being spread around more
None of those guys could play slot...or rather, would be willing to...that would be easily the dumbest move in football history.

[lauren<3s music]

such a great way to go int the second quarter guys. field goals. ugh.

[FondestMemory]

Yeah...if it was ribs, he'd probably have gotten up...and he was moving his hands and legs with no problems, so I don't think its a back/neck thing as much. He definitely had McGinnest land on his head

yeah. i really don't think it's as scary as it looks.

i hope not at least.

[J.C.]

David Carr time.

[preppyak]

haha, Gus Johnson "We will not speculate, just bring you the facts"...after about 5-10 minutes of pure speculation

[Scott Weber]

tampa bay is a joke.

[pand75]

I'm so relieved fantasy football is over, it's nice to enjoy football with anything on the line

[bostonryan]

haha! the announcer: "duke preston, what a dumb dumb!"

[preppyak]

there's the thumbs up

[SwiftSilentDead]

23-10 at half time. I'm wondering if I should worry about the rest of this game. I don't think the Panthers are going to blow this lead with how many mistakes the Saints are making.

[FondestMemory]

i'm hoping these tampa and chicago scores hold up.

[Scott Weber]

brees needs 270 yards in the 2nd half to break Marino's record. he should go for it.

[lauren<3s music]

ugh im so going to lose my money, i can feel it

[bostonryan]

does marshawn lynch have a grill? because if not... he has some rotten looking teeth

[1moreandimfree]

fuck

[SwiftSilentDead]

That was a nice catch by Hixon.

[FondestMemory]

byron with the wheels!!!

[J.C.]

Good job by Eli to get them in field goal range at the end of the half.

[FondestMemory]

brees needs 270 yards in the 2nd half to break Marino's record. he should go for it.

there's really no reason he doesn't go for it.

i don't see him getting it, but i don't think it will be for lack of trying.

[loveisdead]

The Bills running game has looked great today, especially considering both teams pretty much know a run is coming.

[loveisdead]

Oh fucking wonderful. Bills fumble.

[J.C.]

come onnnnnnnnn, buffalo

[loveisdead]

come onnnnnnnnn, buffalo
Ugh, I know.

[acfrue]

hahaha what the hell just happened in the detroit/green bay game? the packers were attempting a 69 yard field goal but the field goal unit wasnt out, it was the kickoff unit, with no time left on the clock. does anyone know what that was about?

[bostonryan]

Ugh, I know.


hey, im a jets fan for the day


J E T S jets jets jets

[loveisdead]

hey, im a jets fan for the day


J E T S jets jets jets
Haha, I love how I've become a Bills and Jaguars fan for the day. I hope the Jets pull it out, but I don't see them beating Miami. Huge disappointment.

[FondestMemory]

hahaha what the hell just happened in the detroit/green bay game? the packers were attempting a 69 yard field goal but the field goal unit wasnt out, it was the kickoff unit, with no time left on the clock. does anyone know what that was about?

was it a free kick? did they fair catch it there with no time on the clock?

[bostonryan]

Haha, I love how I've become a Bills and Jaguars fan for the day. I hope the Jets pull it out, but I don't see them beating Miami. Huge disappointment.


is favre a 1 year thing? or do they have the rights to him should he decide to come back next year?

[DJscratchNsniff]

was it a free kick? did they fair catch it there with no time on the clock?
yep. crosby barely missed it too...would've been nice to have a 69 yard FG for my fantasy matchup this week, haha.

[loveisdead]

is favre a 1 year thing? or do they have the rights to him should he decide to come back next year?
I'm not completely sure to be honest ( I'm sure someone here knows). I don't want him back, I want the Jets to go after Cassel.

[J.C.]

Bah, great playcall.

[FondestMemory]

pretty sure favre has another year on his deal.

[bostonryan]

matt "adrian peterson" cassel

[SwiftSilentDead]

Okay, there's a sack on 3rd and long.

If the Panthers score on this drive then I'm done watching over this game like a hawk and will go on to enjoy a game that's meaningless to me.

[loveisdead]

Are you fucking kidding me? How is he that wide open?

[bostonryan]

Are you fucking kidding me? How is he that wide open?


nobody has thrown going against the wind all day. great play

[acfrue]

was it a free kick? did they fair catch it there with no time on the clock?

im not sure, i was changing from game to game and it said gb was attempting a 69 yard field goal. i figured that it was probably a free kick but i wasnt sure.

[lauren<3s music]

pretty sure favre has another year on his deal.
i doubt he'd leave after this season anyways

[J.C.]

How do you let Welker get that open?

[loveisdead]

nobody has thrown going against the wind all day. great play
Yeah I guess that's true.

[bostonryan]

finally a TD. 10-0 pats. lets hold it down

[woahsnow3]

Andre Johnson is a monster. 100 something yards and 2 td's at half. Wow.
It's looking pretty bad for the Bears.

[SwiftSilentDead]

Touchdown Stewart.

Okay, I think they've got this one under control. Downstairs and away from the computer I go.

[acfrue]

i doubt he'd leave after this season anyways
agreed.

[bostonryan]

fucking lions, you need to lose! i want to see 0-16!

[lauren<3s music]

they'll lose that challenge

[J.C.]

i <3 calvin

[loveisdead]

Morris just beasted that d-end.

[bostonryan]

that was the sickest plow ever by sammy morris. he is laid the fuck out

[Scott Weber]

good for david carr. go giants.

[J.C.]

Hixon just toasted Antoine Winfield.

[loveisdead]

Pats win. This game is done. Go Jags.

[bostonryan]

its about time moss gets a reception

[KidRobot]

Though David Carr sucks, he's a pretty awesome player to have as a backup.

[lauren<3s music]

first td by the back up. sigh

[bostonryan]

pats are finally getting it going with the wind on their side. i wish brady wasnt coming back

[KidRobot]

pats are finally getting it going with the wind on their side. i wish brady wasnt coming back

I'd hate to have to let Cassel go.

[bostonryan]

I'd hate to have to let Cassel go.


yeah, choosing between 2 great options is never fun. i was nervous watching cassels first few games but hes really come into his own and put up numbers when it counted

[J.C.]

DON'T CALL IT A TOUCHBACK

I been here for years.

[FondestMemory]

jamal lewis has 2/3 of the browns total yards.

pats are finally getting it going with the wind on their side. i wish brady wasnt coming back

that's one of the stupidest things i've ever read.

[KidRobot]

If McDaniels gets a new job somewhere, he's gonna take Cassel with him.

[crit]

I hope this is just a terrible joke.

[Scott Weber]

jamal lewis has 2/3 of the browns total yards.



that's one of the stupidest things i've ever read.
the sports forum is going down the shitter and this is why.

[FondestMemory]

the sports forum is going down the shitter and this is why.

yeah. i've been remembering today why i haven't come into a gameday thread in weeks.

[preppyak]

Though David Carr sucks, he's a pretty awesome player to have as a backup.
Its why I love Leftwich as a backup...would I want him as my starter for 16 games? No. But, would I take him for 2 games worth of snaps a season, knowing he has to prove something and play well...absolutely...a million times yes over Kordell Stewart or Dan Orlovsky as my backup
If McDaniels gets a new job somewhere, he's gonna take Cassel with him.
Or at least try...like I said in the NFL thread, I don't see the Pats keeping him at any sort of price that doesn't cost them too much cap space

[FondestMemory]

If McDaniels gets a new job somewhere, he's gonna take Cassel with him.

there's no if. mcdaniels will have his choice of a few jobs.

they may not all need qbs though.

[preppyak]

The Pats actually probably hope he goes to Cleveland...cause their QB patron saint is set for next year. If its the Chiefs or Lions...whole new ball game

[J.C.]

Pioli, McDaniels, Cassel, report to KC plz.

[kofiadrian]

fuck you raiders.

[Scott Weber]

LOL tavaris jackson. fuck the vikings.

[lauren<3s music]

oh that was nice

[loveisdead]

That was insane. Wow.

[J.C.]

Jackson gets picked off in the end zone and the Giants return it into Viking territory.

[crit]

Haha nice surprise punt by Cassel...and then the wind helps it all the way down to the 1 where it gets downed.

[SwiftSilentDead]

Greg Gumbel: "Matt Cassel's the best punter in the league right now!"

[preppyak]

We could be seeing Pioli/McDaniel/Cassel in Minnesota if that keeps up

[LeftWideOpen]

that Cassel punt was the most entertaining thing I've ever seen in a football game.

[KidRobot]

there's no if. mcdaniels will have his choice of a few jobs.

they may not all need qbs though.

This is very true.

Its why I love Leftwich as a backup...would I want him as my starter for 16 games? No. But, would I take him for 2 games worth of snaps a season, knowing he has to prove something and play well...absolutely...a million times yes over Kordell Stewart or Dan Orlovsky as my backup

Exactly. I was ecstatic when Carr came here. I knew that he could hold his own when we needed him.

Or at least try...like I said in the NFL thread, I don't see the Pats keeping him at any sort of price that doesn't cost them too much cap space

Yep.

[SwiftSilentDead]

Rams just tied the Falcons right now.

Wow.

[KidRobot]

Rams just tied the Falcons right now.

Wow.

Falcons can't really gain or lose much with a win or loss.

[J.C.]

Carr's looked great.

[kofiadrian]

yesssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss ss raiders.
go texans.

[FondestMemory]

willie has more rushing yards than the browns have total yards.

and this will be the sixth game in a row without a browns offensive touchdown. that's hilarious.

[preppyak]

Falcons can't really gain or lose much with a win or loss.
A loss and they have no shot at the 2 seed...and Carolina could still lose. The real thing is, do the players know that Carolina is winning their game? Cause they should be playing the game like Carolina already lost

[DJscratchNsniff]

jason hanson wins it with a last second FG. calling it.

[crit]

Cleveland is up to 23 straight quarters without an offensive touchdown now. Wow.

[preppyak]

willie has more rushing yards than the browns have total yards.
He's looked good...especially that early TD run, looked like the old Willie

[FondestMemory]

yeah. there's been a lot of moments today where he's looked like the old willie.

although, it is the browns.

[kofiadrian]

oh shit cadillac williams.

[duhpunk]

Cadillac just destroyed his knee again and yelled "are you fucking kidding me?!?!" on live tv. Poor dude

[kofiadrian]

make a play oakland, make a play please.

[woahsnow3]

Drew Brees is about 90 yards away from breaking the total passing yards record. He's got a shot.

[kofiadrian]

michael bush thank you.

[preppyak]

haha, I love to watch the Steelers run all over the Browns

[duhpunk]

holy shit mchael bush. Tampa, you don't deserve to make the playoffs regardless of what happens

[SwiftSilentDead]

Shit, Saints have a chance to make this a once score game. Don't fuck up in the 2nd half again Carolina!

[FondestMemory]

tyrone carter!!!!!

michael bush!!!!

[Scott Weber]

hahaha brees has a shot. wow. he's over 5,000.

[kofiadrian]

oh my god. the raiders just might win this. this is fucking crazy.

[FondestMemory]

hahaha brees has a shot. wow. he's over 5,000.

gonna be close. just needs his d to get the ball back.

he has to win opoy. i don't see any other way.

[kofiadrian]

houstonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn.

[preppyak]

Chicago just solidified their seats at home in January

[J.C.]

Carney misses from 48.

[preppyak]

he has to win opoy. i don't see any other way.
I don't like to use the word "travesty" with voted awards, but it would be a travesty for him not to win it

[CubbyNick42]

Thanks for coming out Bears. We'll see you next year.

[preppyak]

haha, "To Cleveland....Seasons Beatings"
