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!

cthomer5000 12-28-2003 01:39 PM

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 12-28-2003 01:45 PM

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

Philliesfan980 12-28-2003 01:46 PM

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 12-28-2003 02:26 PM

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 12-28-2003 02:46 PM

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 12-28-2003 02:49 PM

Why is Kurt Warner in the damn game?

ISiddiqui 12-28-2003 03:00 PM

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 12-28-2003 03:08 PM

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

Philliesfan980 12-28-2003 03:09 PM

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

DeToxRox 12-28-2003 03:10 PM

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 12-28-2003 03:10 PM

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

ISiddiqui 12-28-2003 03:11 PM

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 12-28-2003 03:11 PM

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

Bruised forearm for Bulger

ISiddiqui 12-28-2003 03:14 PM

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 12-28-2003 03:15 PM

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

cthomer5000 12-28-2003 03:15 PM

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 12-28-2003 03:15 PM

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

Noble_Platypus 12-28-2003 03:16 PM

COlts fans all together now.....WHEW

ISiddiqui 12-28-2003 03:18 PM

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.

miami_fan 12-28-2003 03:21 PM

Det 30 - Stl 20 Letdown game or chink in the armor?

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 12-28-2003 03:24 PM

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.

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 12-28-2003 03:34 PM

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

Cringer 12-28-2003 03:42 PM

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 12-28-2003 03:44 PM

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

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

Cringer 12-28-2003 03:57 PM

Dola--

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

Wasabiak 12-28-2003 04:04 PM

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

Wasabiak 12-28-2003 04:23 PM

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 12-28-2003 04:24 PM

halftime in Tempe:

Arizona 6, Minnesota 0

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

ISiddiqui 12-28-2003 04:41 PM

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.

Wasabiak 12-28-2003 04:57 PM

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

RawIsDan 12-28-2003 05:02 PM

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 12-28-2003 05:03 PM

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 12-28-2003 05:04 PM

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

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.
