NFL Week 17

[cthomer5000]

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!

[cthomer5000]

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.

[Vikings13]

Screw the Packers! Vive le Daunte! Afros to the superbowl...

[Philliesfan980]

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.

[miami_fan]

Det 27- Stl 20 What happens if the Rams lose? Who gets homefield in the NFC?

Being a Colts fan, I can answer this question......Yep.

I could not have said it any better my friend. :D

[Philliesfan980]

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).

[Philliesfan980]

Why is Kurt Warner in the damn game?

[ISiddiqui]

Because Bulger has sucked :D.

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.

[ISiddiqui]

Vanderjagt gets the consecutive kicks record AND the win for Indy, winning them the division... what a clutch kick!

[Philliesfan980]

Eagles get home field throughout the playoffs.. hello Superbowl!

[DeToxRox]

BUNGLES BLOW IT! YES!

And Warners in because Bulger got hurt.

He was on the sideline icing his arm after a shot from Big Daddy.

[cthomer5000]

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

[ISiddiqui]

re Eagles: Don't get too cocky... remember plenty were saying that last January as well ;).

A Texan hating the Cowboys, heheh. Must be a transplant. And a typical Slacker fan, when the going gets tough, play the "How many Superbowls have YOU won?" card.

See ya next year chump. :p

[cthomer5000]

oh, and that means Seattle is definitely in. Congrats to the ugliest uniforms in all of sport!

Bruised forearm for Bulger

[ISiddiqui]

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

[Wasabiak]

LOL!!!!!!! Tice, what a meathead.

[cthomer5000]

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.

[miami_fan]

Bittersweet day. Dolphins beat the Jets :) They probably saved Wanny's job too:(

[Noble_Platypus]

COlts fans all together now.....WHEW

[ISiddiqui]

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 :D.

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.

[cthomer5000]

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.

[ISiddiqui]

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

That's gonna be a GREAT game. Possibly the best of the playoffs.

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!!

[Wasabiak]

Well, at this rate, none of this is going to matter. I said it before........The Vikings will NOT win this game.

[Cringer]

LOL, well i'm gonna say they will win the game.....unfortunetly reverse psychology will only work for one of us.....or is it reverse superstition?

[Wasabiak]

You superstitious too? I am eating and wearing the same thing as last week vs. KC.

[Cringer]

Eating the same thing? Did you regurgitate the food from last week and store it in some tupperware in the fridge?

[Cringer]

Dola--

I have decided to wear no Packer jersey or hat, seems thats when things have gone thier way the most this year.

[Wasabiak]

Well, all systems go for the Vikes to shot themselves in the foot. Penalties, stupid calls, dumb plays........It's all coming together.

[Wasabiak]

This team does not deserve to be in the playoffs. The most pathetic half of football i have ever seen, ever. Good luck to Green Bay in the playoffs. Hope you guys go far.

[cthomer5000]

halftime in Tempe:

Arizona 6, Minnesota 0

Don't blame Dallas..blame Green Bay for depending on them. :D

[ISiddiqui]

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

[Cringer]

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.

[Wasabiak]

yay.....Vikes decide to add drama to the inevitable

[RawIsDan]

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.

[Cringer]

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.

[Wasabiak]

Um, if Minn wins, and Car wins, would they not play Dallas next week? If so, they can't both lose?

[cthomer5000]

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.

I'm not sure about what constitutes crumbling under pressure for the Cards ... trying to win the game, or trying to win the #1 pick. ;)

[Craptacular]

Oh well, my prediction from a while ago that the Pack would have the best record to not make the playoffs looks like it will come true. That's what you get for losing to the Cardinals and Lions.

[Cringer]

oh well is right. I will give my congrats early to the Vikes. And give the old line........

..........just wait till next year!

[Wasabiak]

wow, Ahman Green is a stud. I might pick him next year in my fantasy league.

[Craptacular]

Well, at least the fans at the game are having fun.

The Packer game is GREAT!! And yes Ahman Green is a stud!!

Only problem is i'm annoying the shit out of my wife because after every decent or good Packer play i say " And thats why this team deserves to be in the playoffs!"

(yes i know the reasons they don't deserve it, so no need to remind me.) :)

well, they didn't have homefield in 2001. they lost at St. Louis in the NFC title game.

[Cringer]

Wasabiak, i assume you are just negative because it is your superstition, but i kinda have to agree with you, the Vikings are make this dramatic

[Craptacular]

OK, I need Sunday ticket. Show me the Viqueens - Cardinals game!

[cthomer5000]

are the Cardinals driving for the winning score TD right now?

[Cringer]

yes they are. McCown sacked at the 2 or so, last timeout used. 30 seconds left


20 not the 2

[Wasabiak]

Here it comes.......The big choke!

[Craptacular]

OH MY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

[Craptacular]

Wasabiak, I'm buying you dinner next time I'm up your way.

[Wasabiak]

I told you fuckers.............I told you. Fuck this.

[ISiddiqui]

ZONA!!!!

WOW... Yeehaw!

[The_herd]

Nate Poole with the TD.

The forgotten man that played 2nd fiddle to Moss while at Marshall.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I LOVE JOSH MCCOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

<font size=6>YES!</font>

[Pumpy Tudors]

As a Broncos fan, it was tough to watch any of the game against the Packers, but they showed the Arizona touchdown, and I have to say that that was awesome. I couldn't care less which team won the NFC North, but I think Minnesota's choke job tops the one the Saints did last week by a mile.

This is also the first time I can remember seeing cross-network highlights before the games are over. CBS was showing pieces of Fox's Minnesota-Arizona game while it was going on. At least the NFL doesn't have a rule against THAT.

[cthomer5000]

The Vikings collapse lets a fairly dangerous Packers team into the playoffs. I definitely wouldn't want my team facing them in the second round. When they show up, they are a very, very good team.

[ISiddiqui]

Seattle is in trouble for sure. I think Phi and StL are deathly afraid the Packers as well. StL hasn't been playing well. Phi can't stop the run.

Unfortunetly St. Louis has CRUSHED the Packers the lst 2 times they played in StL. But first things first, Seattle and Holmgren must go down!

Which brings to mind, if Sherman ever wins a Superbowl with the Packers, do they change Holmgren Way to Sherman Way?

[ISiddiqui]

That may be true... but the Rams have looked very unimpressive to me lately.

[ISiddiqui]

Wow... so Tomlinson finished the year 100 catches! :eek:

Over 2,300 total yards as well. Great year by LT!

[SegRat]

To all who wrote the Packers off, you can eat my shorts.

Its a shame he didnt make the ProBowl.

[ISiddiqui]

That's what happens when you have a stocked AFC backfield. You can't say that those picked didn't deserve it.

[ISiddiqui]

Lewis is running ALL OVER Pittsburgh. It looks like he'll get the record tonight. He just went over 2000 (2025). He needs about 80 yards for the record. And there is still 6 minutes left in the 1st.

[Pumpy Tudors]

Yes, Jamal Lewis is off to a great start tonight. Also, the ESPN blowjob continues, as Lewis is now getting the same treatment from the commentators that Michael Vick got a few weeks ago. On top of that, the same crew will be at Baltimore's playoff game when they host Tennessee next week. I hope Theismann and Maguire have fresh pairs of kneepads for that one.

[cthomer5000]

for those who care, I'm pretty certain this will be the top of the draft order:

1. San Diego
2. Oakland
3. Arizona
4. New York Giants

[cthomer5000]

Definitely. He'll probably break it by halftime, then be rested in the 2nd half. I've never seen a team who can just announce "we are running the ball!" and still pound right through defenses. This is some scary shit for playoff opponents.

Definitely. I'm already sick of the "Oh boy! Oh boy." and "This is FUN!" comments. This crew is a total disgrace.

I also love how NO ONE has mentioned the Baltimore offensive line yet. Even the quote from Jamal Lewis talked 100% about his rehab and this being "proof of how hard I worked."

[Philliesfan980]

Tomlinson should have made the ProBowl over Portis. While its a hard call, Portis missed what, 3-4 games this year? I agree 100% that its not his fault that he was injured, but in this case you have to give the slight nod to Tomlinson.

[ISiddiqui]

Um... Theismann did.

And Lewis deserves this treatment. He looks like he is going to break the single-season rushing record. Who says he doesn't deserve all the praise?

I'd send Portis... maybe send Holmes back. He the ball in close which is why he gets all those TDs. Impressive? Yes, but I think he isn't as good as Lewis, Portis, and Tomlinson this year.

Of course he deserves praise. It just seems like the ESPN guys have forgotten that they're supposed to be calling a game here. Jamal Lewis does not have to be mentioned before and after every single Ravens play. He certainly doesn't need to be mentioned during half of Pittsburgh's plays either. What do they think they're doing? Keeping us updated? Who the hell doesn't already know that Jamal Lewis is going for the record? I can understand mentioning it before each Ravens series, but they talk about it every 20 seconds. There is such a thing as overkill, and if you're watching ESPN as I type this, you're witnessing it.

[ISiddiqui]

I don't mind it at all. It's his night. The game has little/no significance without his quest.

Sigh...all my beloved Cards had to do was do what they do best...lose. After all they had lost their last eight games right? Lose one more, get the #1 draft pick, get Eli Manning. Now its going to look like McCown is the second coming of Neil Lomax and we'll pick a TE with our first pick when Manning goes to one of the two picks above us. Sigh....

At least they (with about four or five other teams already) will be searching for a new coach in the offseason.

[ISiddiqui]

LOL... And the Cardinals with the 3rd pick, pick... a TE?! :D

[cthomer5000]

Wow, didn't realize it until Chris Berman said it, the Vikings lost to all four of the 4-12 teams in the league.

[cthomer5000]

great fake punt... what was that an 85 yard touchdown?!

[MikeVic]

gogo Steelers!!

[ISiddiqui]

Wow, didn't realize it until Chris Berman said it, the Vikings lost to all four of the 4-12 teams in the league.

Something to be proud of, eh? :D

The Vikings: Preventing teams from going 3-13 ;).

One of the best plays I've seen all year :D.

[ISiddiqui]

Hehe... the Steelers tried a NO Saints play at the end of the game. Going into OT and Lewis needs 40 something yards for the record.

[cthomer5000]

just end this damn game!

[ISiddiqui]

Who said you had to watch it. It's over anyway. Lewis didn't get the record, but the Ravens won.
