NFL Week 17

I'm hoping the Bengals pull this out and make tonight's game worth watching. Also, I genuinely despise the Ravens.

Further, I imagine no team is excited about a playoff matchup agains team who can run the ball like crazy and play great defense. Go Steelers!

What the hell are the Colts up to? Pissing away the division title?


Also, it's looking like a Dallas loss will eliminate Green Bay from the playoffs. Pretty much everything is going wrong for the Packers right now.

Dallas is going to come back and win this game. I don't see anyway that the heartless Saints will hold on to this one.

Man, Quincy Carter is terrible. Being an Eagles fan, I never thought I'd be rooting for the Boys, but I got a "Pickem" with the Cowboys game and took the Boys. I guess this team is a little too "hyped", I should have remembered that their last two wins were against teams that already mailed it in (Skins, and Giants).

Well, thanks to the Cowboys it looks like the Packers will be out of the playoff picture, even if they win. Unless by some miracle Arizona beats the Vikes. Only hope i have is that Arizona is not bad at home. I HATE THE COWBOYS EVEN MORE NOW!!

And uhm, Minnesota doesn't win championships, so give up the dream.

The Packers are officially eliminated from Wild Card consideration. Only a Pack win and Vikes loss will get GB to the playoffs.

I guess that means Seattle plays Carolina? Carolina only has to beat the Giants for the 3 seed... and I guess Seattle is 6 because Dallas beats them out in the tiebreaker and is 5?

edit; Nevermind... Dallas would play Carolina. Seattle would play Min/GB

The Eagles and Seahawks must be dancing around their living rooms right now, the best possible thing happened in both cases.

The Bengals on the other hand..... still suck.

And how many leads did the Texans blow this year? It seems like every other week they blew a 14 point lead in the fourth quarter.

You know what I just realized... which amuses me.... Denver plays Indy in the first round of the playoffs (NE 1, KC 2, Indy 3, Balt 4, Ten 5, Den 6), which means another year of an early Indy dismissal from the playoffs .

Indy is certainly looking very shakey. Unless their offense comes out blazing next week, they're sunk.

both. I do NOT believe in this team one bit, and I think they might get upset in the playoffs.

Still, when they're hot - they're damn near unbeatable.

Is anyone else already giddy at the thought of the upcoming Titans/Ravens wildcard game!?

It's hard to find two teams who hate each other more.

Yes a transplant, and glad not to be born here, i don't even live in what most people consider normal Texas, i live on the border, whole different world. Although from a Viking fan in Wisconsin, who are you to talk? Thats just wrong.

And when the going gets tough? Pack will finish with same record as the Vikes if both win, split season series. Only reason they won't make it is because of some BCS like crap....Dallas blows, and the Pack beat Seattle......i say we go to the Polls!!

Personally think GB will get farther in the playoffs. We have to see if 'Zona can continue to shut out the Vikes.

Thats always true, Pack had chances to win 1-3 more games this year and didn't do it. Its just it drives me nuts that the Packers will have the same record as the Vikes but lose the division title to the VIkes because of something like the 3rd or 4th tie-breaker. And then have the same record as Dallas and Seattle (WHO THEY BEAT) and get knocked out of the playoffs on something like the 7th tiebreaker......its a hard way to miss the playoffs. If the Vikes swept us, or Seattle beat the Pack, i would be able to accept it a little better.

I would rather see GB get in because Minn, like Dallas, will probably get bounced out next week anyway. Also, I feel they are the best team to knock Philly off at the Linc.

I dunno, Minnesota would play who? Dallas or Seattle at home next week, i think the Vikes would win either game. They already whooped Seattle earlier this year.

Dallas is the #6 seed no matter what. Seeing as it's 30-10 at the half in the Meadowlands, it's looking like Dallas @ Carolina and Seattle @ NFC North Champ.

Seattle @ Minnesota, Cards are clumbling under the pressure, Vikes have it wrapped up.
