Back to Back winning seasons for the Falcons! Breaking the 43 year span! Sucks that they missed the playoffs this year, but its a step in the right direction. They've come a long way since Vick and that coward Petrino.

Now its on to the Draft!

[Jeritron]

i seriously want to get all my fighter friends and road trip out there while watching roadhouse and then find those jersey shore fucks and beat the living fuck out of all of them

[FearedSanctity]

Jabar Marshall.

Brandon Gaffney.

[FearedSanctity]

Gaffney with 10 catches for 145yds in the first half

[McLegend]

Getting kind of angry.

[McLegend]

This game does remind me of the NFC championship game from last year. So we'll see how this goes.

[Team Sheep]

Lol I think the Eagles know the loser of this wins next week.

[Team Sheep]

Nervous right now.

[McLegend]

I don't understand the thinking of why it's so hard to beat a team twice in a row.

Quite the performance here.

[owenbrown]

lol 24-0 Cowboys

[Crimson]

Happy the 'Boys are winnins thus far. But the Eagles look so flat, no way they are this flat next week:|

[Crimson]

I don't understand the thinking of why it's so hard to beat a team twice in a row.

Quite the performance here.

3 times in one year. Has it even been done before

[McLegend]

3 times in one year. Has it even been done before

The Steelers beat the Ravens 3 times last year.

It can easily be done, and can sadly very easily happen next week.

[DrA]

St. Louis went over Seattle three times in the 2004 season.

[DrA]

Doesn't Dallas play Green Bay next week though?

[RatedGSuperstar]

Minnesota's win guaranteed that Green Bay plays Arizona next week.

If the Eagles win, they don't play the Cowboys next week -- they get the bye, and would've forced Dallas to go to Minnesota. If the Cowboys win, Minnesota gets the bye and Dallas hosts Philly next week.

The only way the Cowboys could've played the Packers is if the Vikings lost, the Packers lost, and the Cowboys won.

[McLegend]

About you just pull the starters now.

[D Mac]

Colts lost and Saints lost again. Playoffs should be interesting.

[Crimson]

Mike Jenkins lookin like a stud

[McLegend]

Pull the starters.

[Emperor Smeat]

Ouch news on Welker is horrible now than before. Torn ACL and MCL but it won't be until after tomorrow's medical tests to see if he can even play in the playoffs.

[Team Sheep]

Lol same old Denver.

[Droford]

Im rooting for the Bengals to win to get the Texans in the playoffs.

[FearedSanctity]

Im rooting for the Bengals to win to get the Texans in the playoffs.

[Droford]

Ouch news on Welker is horrible now than before. Torn ACL and MCL but it won't be until after tomorrow's medical tests to see if he can even play in the playoffs.

Um..I doubt he's playing anytime soon.

[Team Sheep]

And the Chiefs pocket me some money.

[D Mac]

Good win to end the season Chiefs. Now you can work on getting some fucking players for next year. :mad:

[Team Sheep]

So Ravens are in. Now it's the Jets vs Texans (being represented by the Bengals) for the last spot.

[McLegend]

I kind of think the Cowboys are going to win the Super Bowl.

[Team Sheep]

Nick Halling who covers NFL over here said that if the Jets win then the Bengals will play the Ravens next week. Is that right? Yahoo generator says otherwise.

[Crimson]

God Wade Phillips is too fucking laid back, they lose next week he has to be out no matter what

[Emperor Smeat]

Nick Halling who covers NFL over here said that if the Jets win then the Bengals will play the Ravens next week. Is that right? Yahoo generator says otherwise.

It probably is occurring from this tie-breaker since they both have same overall record and conference record.
3. Best won-lost-tied percentage in common games, minimum of four.

Or at least from total points scored or Difference in total points.
That would put the standings as : 3) Patriots, 4) Bengals, 5) Ravens, 6) Jets

[Droford]

The Ravens are playing the Pats no matter what.

If the Jets win, they play the Bengals again next week.
If the Bengals win, they play the Texans.

[Team Sheep]

The Ravens are playing the Pats no matter what.

If the Jets win, they play the Bengals again next week.
If the Bengals win, they play the Texans.

Yeah NFL.com confirmed that as true. Nick Halling just talking through his ass :o

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Go Bengals. Nothing against the Jets, but I can definitely see myself rooting for the Texans in the playoffs. Not only would it be their first playoff appearance, but Schaub/Johnson carried me to the finals this year.</font>

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

If this was the Week 2 I'd have all my money on the Jets

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Now people are calling the Cowboys the hottest team in the NFC. God I hate how fucking fickle everyone is about this sport.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Also if the choice is the Jets or the Texans, give me the Jets every time. The Jets are basically an AFC North team with their run game, except they have a shitty quarterback.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Yeah. With the Jets and their defense, had a quarterback that wasn't prone to making mistakes, I'd say play to win. But Sanchez will get toasted in the playoffs. Schaub/Johnson are not a duo I'd like to face.</font>

[Nark Order]

Can we please talk more about how the Chargers are going to the Superbowl?

[Droford]

Im hoping Revis shuts down 85 and he has to change his name back.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

So Broncos fan, is this season a success or no?

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Looks like Ochocinco got injured in warmups...meaning his use will be even more limited.

Go Bengals backups</font> :(

[RatedGSuperstar]

Now people are calling the Cowboys the hottest team in the NFC. God I hate how fucking fickle everyone is about this sport.

It's not like Green Bay has won 7 of 8 and was a last second TD away from going 8-0 in the second half or anything. :shifty:

Dallas' defense has been impressive for the past few weeks, but they're going to have a hell of a time beating Minnesota on the road in the second round if they get that far.

[UmbrellaCorporation]

Shit....Hope Welker is okay.

Not knocking the Bengals, but I'd like to see the Jets get in tonight. Here's hoping.

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Chad Johnson is the fucking man, his pregame interview was unreal.

Kinda thought he was gonna milk this pregame injury though, not gonna lie.

[ClockShot]

http://blogs.westword.com/latestword/josh%20mcdevil%20image.jpg

Fuck you, McDevil.

[Hanso Amore]

So apparently Bill Cowher has met with the Bills, and will again this week in regards to the job.

Honestly there are few other spots open for him to come back next year, but I just dont see it happening. Probably just going through the motions.

But I can still pray :(

[Reavant]

i wish i had a lot of money to get cower into buffalo... i wonder if the bears will get rid of lovie

[DaveBrawl]

So Broncos fan, is this season a success or no?

Seems like a flashback what with a decent division lead collapse, a game against KC where we surrender over 300 yards rushing and the qb just throwing ints to everyone in the stadium.

Although with a lot of the genius' around here predicting 2-4 wins for them this season since they lost the next great qb I'd say it wasn't a total loss, more like a push.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Bengals aren't even trying. Doing the same thing the Cardinals did today - figure there is no point in going all out and showing your possible tricks to a team you're gonna play next week anyway.</font>

[Droford]

Houston is probably pissed off right now..

Cincy is pretty much laying down even though Cincy could play for the 3 seed.

Bengals aren't even trying. Doing the same thing the Cardinals did today - figure there is no point in going all out and showing your possible tricks to a team you're gonna play next week anyway.

If they would go out and win they wouldnt have to play the Jets next week though..so its dumb.

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Maybe they want the Jets instead of the Texans?

Jets are def winning this game though, unreal that they are getting into the playoffs

That dude Ochocinco isn't doing shit either. He's had his chances though, not totally sure if I'd call it Revis "shutting him down"

[RatedGSuperstar]

It'd end up being pretty hilarious if the Jets win next week, then go on to upset the Colts in the 2nd round after the Colts let them into the playoffs.

And yeah, it's pretty clear the Bengals want no part of the Texans, who would be a much tougher match up. Houston beat Cincinnati in Cincy earlier this year, too.

[Nark Order]

LOL @ The Bengals right now.

[Nark Order]

Bengals aren't even trying. Doing the same thing the Cardinals did today - figure there is no point in going all out and showing your possible tricks to a team you're gonna play next week anyway.

Well, if the Ravens win as well, the Jets would get SD and the Ravens would go to Indy.

7 yards in the first half, 1 first down and 5 minutes of possession..

haha

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Loving this game right now. Jets are showing their entire arsenal tonight.

[Team Sheep]

Haha playoffs! Fucking fantastic!

Bengals weren't ready for this, they got fucked in the face. No wonder they've got injuries now.

[RP]

Welker is gone for the playoffs. Remember how shit the Pats looked without him earlier this season?

[RP]

So if i understand this correctly, the Colts play the winner of Jets vs Bengals next week? AFC Championship here we come!

[Nervous Ferret]

Colts will play the lowest available seed. No way they could play the Bengals

[RatedGSuperstar]

Well, if the Ravens win as well, the Jets would get SD and the Ravens would go to Indy.

7 yards in the first half, 1 first down and 5 minutes of possession..

haha

Yeah, brain fart on my part -- I just assumed that the Jets would've been the 6th seed if they won, for some reason.

With that said, I do think the Pats beat Baltimore, but it won't be easy without Welker and with Brady banged up.

[Crimson]

Or the Ravens if they beat the Pats

[RP]

ehh

Lets make it the Bengals vs Colts in 2nd round pls

[RatedGSuperstar]

If Sanchez can essentially play like Trent Dilfer did when the Ravens won the Super Bowl, I could actually see the Jets making a little noise in the playoffs. It's not crazy to think that with an average QB, they could've won the division this year...if Sanchez can avoid making any bad mistakes, they can ride that running game and defense pretty far.

RP, if the Bengals win, they play the Chargers no matter what, meaning you'd get New England. Which, if you believe the rumors, is what Belichick wants and why he didn't put up much of a fight for the 3rd seed.

[Nervous Ferret]

yeah jets yayyyyy. Today my favorite professional football team played very well and made me very excited for the playoffs. This is all very good news.

[RP]

uhhh


Lets go ahead and get that Bengals vs Colts 2nd round matchup made pls.

The Patriots are the 3rd seed not the Bengals

[RP]

So if the Patriots and Bengals win, the Bengals come to indy?

[RP]

WHO DEY!

[Loose Cannon]

I'm in New Rochelle (hometown pop), NY right now watching this beating :love:

[Crimson]

So if the Patriots and Bengals win, the Bengals come to indy?

Yea

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>This is the first Giants team to give up 40 points in back-to-back games since 1971.

It’s the first Giants team to give up 40 or more five times in the same season since 1966.

It’s the first Giants team to give up 30 or more in four of five games since 1980.

And, having now given up 427 points (and counting … it’s still late in the third quarter) it’s now officially the worst Giants defense since the 1966 team that gave up a remarkable 501 points in 14 games.

Seeya, Sheridan</font>

[RP]

I'm just gunna say this now. If the Colts lose to the Jets or the Bengals in the playoffs, I probably wont be around forever. I'll probably lose my job and i'm 100% positive i wont get out of bed...again. So... Go Colts!

[Team Sheep]

You know with wins against the Bills (OT loss), Jaguars (2 point loss with last gasp field goal), Falcons (3 point loss with last gasp TD), Dolphins (5 point loss with 2 KO returns for TD's allowed), the Jets could easily be 13-3 or 12-4 right now.

All this with a rookie QB. Definitely a good future ahead. Regardless of what happens next week, making the play offs with a rookie QB has to make the season a big success. Quite bizarre how it's ended up this way.

[RP]

Actually if we lose to the Jets, i'll be outside Bill Polians home with a torch, along with the rest of the entire Colts fanbase.

[Loose Cannon]

SANCHEZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

So if the Patriots and Bengals win, the Bengals come to indy?Yeah

Can't believe Welker is out, sucks. Hopefully they can still pull it out though.....not too confident

[Hanso Amore]

I hate the NFL, they are actually going to discuss giving the teams with nothing to play for (because they have clinched) DRAFT PICKS to play starters.

Yeah, give the 14 win team more picks...way to promote parity!

[Hanso Amore]

Every fucking team could be 13-3 with a few select wins

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Well...I was rooting against the Jets going into the game due to the fact that I was bitter that they got the last game at Giants Stadium and I wanted to see the Texans in the playoffs, but now that it's over...I wish them well. I'll be pulling for the Bengals again next week, but that's just because out of the teams left I'll be pulling for them in general.

Here's probably my "order of preference" for the Super Bowl:

1. Bengals
2. Cardinals
3. Packers
4. Jets
5. Colts
6. Ravens
7. Saints
8. Chargers
9. Vikings
10. Patriots
11, 12. Cowboys and Eagles tied, I'd cry if either of them won.</font>

[FearedSanctity]

Although with a lot of the genius' around here predicting 2-4 wins for them this season since they lost the next great qb I'd say it wasn't a total loss, more like a push.

Drastic improvement to the D, steps back for the O.

Last offseason was spent mostly overhauling the defense, and I expect this offseason to be the same for the O. New OL is definite (minus Clady and Harris) and it looks like Denver will need new WRs too. Possible new QB? Who knows.

Next years schedule APPEARS to be significantly easier, so I have higher hopes for next year than I had for this year.

[OssMan]

Fucking hate like every team in the playoffs except 3

[Team Sheep]

Every fucking team could be 13-3 with a few select wins

I know that. That's why I didn't say they "should" have been won, because it's the NFL, everyone gets close wins. Was just putting in to perspective how close they are to turning a real corner, with a rookie QB none the less. That's why good teams like the Bengals and the Patriots win divisions, they can manage to swing a couple of those closer games their way.

[Team Sheep]

But yeah anyway I'll probably just get flamed for 'jinxing' now so I'll shut up :$

[Supreme Olajuwon]

They could also easily be 7-9 if they didn't get the Colts and Bengals with nothing to play for.

[Hanso Amore]

Shut the fuck up. You have no fucking clue about which you talk.

I will ignore the obvious and say anyone who says the BENGALS ARE A GOOD TEAM (two good seasons in 20) can shut the fuck up.

Your original post was fucked, because no matter how you take it, you are and idiot. The difference in one or 2 plays is what makes the NFL what it is. So STFU on teams coming close to win....an 0-16 team with close losses is still a loss. We actually treat losses like losses.

[Hanso Amore]

this isnt soccer. Losing by one is not a good thing

losing by one is not a good thing in soccer either, bro

As a bills fan, I can tell you, happy enthusiasm like that gets your nowhere. Your fucked team will suck next year too.

[Hanso Amore]

Im drrunk so I dunno .

Losing in Soccer by one and you were close to winning.

Losing in the NFL by one and you FUCKING LOST.

I didnt make these rules

[Hanso Amore]

Now fuck off, I got work to do

[McLegend]

I really don't want the Cowboys to win their first playoff game since 96 against the Eagles.

Really don't want that.

[Team Sheep]

When is losing ever a good thing you dick.

Did Cincinnati win a division this year? Yes. Makes them a good team in my book.

So yeah the Detroit Lions would analyse a 50-0 thumping the same way the Patriots would a narrow 3 point defeat? Ok.

[FearedSanctity]

As a bills fan, I can tell you, happy enthusiasm like that gets your nowhere. Your fucked team will suck next year too.

Good thing Denver aren't the Bills :y:

[Reavant]

right theyre not... denver will just always miss the playoffs in the last game of the season

Yeah the d played a lot better this year, disregarding yesterday, but I don't know what happened to the o line. They were one of the few bright spots last season, and were doing good pass blocking early this season, but it seems like it, along with everything else, fell apart after the bye week.

I conclude with

http://store.cstv.com/marketplace/store/Vendor204/fullscale/tm1239-c.JPG

Is there any way to clone John Elway yet? How about that offensive line?

[ClockShot]

Housecleaning has begun early.

Redskins ax Jim Zorn.

I can picture Mike Shanahan going there and coaching. Only if he gets the same deal he got in Denver.

So let the guessing games begin, what other coaches are gonna be out of a job after the season is over?

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>I thought Raheem Morris was headed for a 1-and-done year with the Bucs when they only had 1 win, but I think since he's so young they'll give him another year.

Same can be said for the other coaches on crappy teams. Spags can hardly be blamed and is getting a lot of money, Schwartz needs time to build, etc.

I can see Jack Del Rio getting dismissed...he's really the only other firing candidate that jumps to mind since the Browns appear to have saved Mangini's job</font>

[Hanso Amore]

As opposed to never coming close

Inch or a Mile, losing is losing.

[ClockShot]

So Broncos fan, is this season a success or no?

I think our fate was sealed when McDevil bannished Scheff and Marshall from the game. It could have been different or not.

But as a fan, no as a nation, I'd bet NOBODY saw us come out of the corner swinging and go 6-0. The fluke win in Cincy got the ball rolling, then we took down big dogs Dallas, NE, and San Diego. But whatever happened during the bye in week 7 and just crumbling the rest of the way...

I'm inclined to go with the conspiracy theorists and say Belichick called up McDevil that week and flipped the switch in his head to fuck us from the inside. Who knows, who cares. Fans want alot of questions as to what the hell happened.

As for 2010.... McDaniels has got alot of work to do to rebuild. Kyle Orton is gone, Brandon Marshall and Tony Scheffler are probably gonna get ran out of town, the RB merry-go-round wasn't that much of a success, and the D needs a little work.

[RP]

Welker was on his way to breaking Marvin Harrisons catch record if he hadnt missed any time this year. I've read a few articles that have said that Marvins 143 receptions in a season may never be broken.

[ClockShot]

More news:

Bills fire their entire coaching staff.

Oakland Tribune reports that The Fossil is gonna fire Tom Cable (guy).

[DaveBrawl]

Housecleaning has begun early.

Redskins ax Jim Zorn.

Poor Jim Zorn...well I guess rich Jim Zorn since he now gets paid to do nothing...I feel bad for him in a way. He seems like such a nice guy that knows football (can't seem to coach it, but seems to know it), but he was doomed from the start. I mean who hires an offensive coordinator before they hire a head coach and then promotes the dude to head coach when they can't find anyone else to take the job? Well who besides Al Davis and Jerry Jones? Dan Snyder is the caboose on a crazy train of terrible football.

[RatedGSuperstar]

Guys like Lovie Smith and Jack Del Rio might just be safe because their owners don't want to pay them to go away while paying another coach at the same time, especially if there's a lockout in 2011 and everyone on the coaching staff is getting paid to do nothing.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Jack Del Rio is the 5th longest tenured coach in the NFL right now. That seems really hard to believe but it's true.

[Mr. Monday Morning]

Who are the others? I'm guessing Fox, Belichick, Reid & Fisher?

Who are the others? I'm guessing Fox, Belichick, Reid & Fisher?

Yeah. And I think Del Rio is actually tied for 5th with Marvin Lewis.

[Shadow]

Damn it...Snyder needs to get out of doing that. That's the 7th coach he's fired since taking over the organization.

Fucking elf.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>There it is...Bill Sheridan fired. Good.</font>

[Hanso Amore]

I love it. Buddy Nix has been GM for 5 days and FIRES THE WHOLE WORTHLESS STAFF!

I know we arent getting Cowher...he basically confirmed.

Apparently the Front Runners are Brian Billick (interview this week perhaps), Brian Schottenheimer, Russ Grimm, Ron Rivera and Phillys D-Coordinator.

Ill take me some Billick or Grimm.

[Hanso Amore]

Like Buddy Nix is best friends with Martyball, so if we hire his fucking kid for that alone I will be pissed.

So, Arizona, SD, NYJ and Eagles Fans, tell me about this coorinators? Who should I be rooting for?

[MTH15]

Okay heres how were gonna do this. Fuck the Saints, because they got lucky as shit both games we played them, FUCK the giants they're even luckier cuz we dropped a td and missed a FG. Fuck the Cowboys cuz i just dont like you bitch ass niggas, and Fuck the NFL. ATL all deeeeyyyyyyyyy

[McLegend]

Sean McDermott has been coordintor for one year. He was always good assitance to Jim Johnson, but you don't want him as a your head coach.

Maybe a few years down the road, but not now.

[Droford]

2010 Ravens Opponents!

Home games: Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Miami, Buffalo, New Orleans, Tampa, Denver
Away games: Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, Cleveland, New England, New York Jets , Atlanta, Carolina, Houston

Fucking New England on the Road again...what the hell..By my absurdly early calculations, the Ravens should go 6-2 at Home (New Orleans and either Cincy or Pittsburgh for the losses) and 5-3/6-2 on the Road (combo of Pittsburgh or Cincy and New England for the losses)

[Gonzo]

There it is...Bill Sheridan fired. Good.

Thank fucking god that didn't take long.

[Hanso Amore]

Have fun with the rumored new NYG DC, DICK JAURON! YAY!

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>I trust Coughlin's judgment with that one. He was the DC under Coughlin in Jacksonville.</font>

I was listening to talk radio one night at work about 2 or 3 years ago and I think it was like The George Sedano show or something. And one of his on air people was a female and she was a big Charger fan. They where playing a Who Am I game where people would call in and say I'm _______ and they would guess who the caller was talking about. Anyways, some dude called in and said " I'm that thing on Drew Bree's face. " ROFL and the female Charger fan started flipping out.

Giants fire Sheridan. Can't imagine the next guy will do much better?

[DrA]

I had this idea as far as sitting starters goes and whatnot. Any team that goes 16-0 is allowed to choose who they are going to play in the next round. So, they get to choose between the winner of the third and sixth seed game or the fourth and fifth. If you go 15-1, you get to choose one of those two games before they are played, and you play the winner of that game. If you get two teams in the conference that are 16-0 or 15-1 then tough shit.

[DrA]

Or how about this: Any undefeated team gets to choose one player from any non-playoff team in their conference to play for them during the playoffs.

[ClockShot]

Bears are gonna keep Lovie Smith around. But O.C. Ron Turner is out.

thank god

Didn't the NBA or some other league experimented with something similar to this a few years ago. It was as a way to keep mouth-watering games from being wasted in the 1st or 2nd round and save them for potential conference finals.

[McLegend]

Nope.

The closest to that is the NHL which reseeds after every round.

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

"A reporter asked a semi-serious question on whether or not quarterbacks get too much protection from the league. Belichick initially answered — tongue-in-cheek — that his background is in defense, “so you can probably figure out the answer to that question.” But then, he added that no one cares what he thought anyway. “I think you should talk to the guys who make the rules. There are plenty of people on that committee and they love to talk about the rules that they’ve made and how great they are and all that, honestly. The Charley Casserlys of the world, that have all the answers to everything. Talk to them. They’ve spent a lot of time studying it, a lot more than I have, and I’m sure they have all the answers.” - WEEI.com

Mike Shanahan is YOUR Washington Redskins Head Coach and V.P. of Football Ops.

Let's see how long it takes before Snyder sticks his nose in and starts calling shots.
