Wow. Finals have been keeping me too busy to realize that the Cowboys beat the Saints on Thursday night. The Vikings still have to depend on either the Panthers or the Bucs to beat the Saints in order to have a shot at homefield advantage, but hey, a guy can hope. This makes the Saints near-miss at Washington all the more painful.

I didn't even realize the Cowboys PLAYED the Saints on Thursday night; everyone was talking about the Colts game.

Professoralstad · « **Reply #277 on:** December 20, 2009, 01:09:55 PM »

Ah, never mind. It was last night, not Thursday night, I read the article wrong. The Colts/Jags was the only game on Thursday. Still, I'm not disappointed in the outcome at all.

crustpope · « **Reply #278 on:** December 20, 2009, 09:32:53 PM »

I must admit, I was pretty shocked at the Saints-Cowboys action. I thought that the saints had a great shot at running the table.

Go Ravens!

Also, LOLOLOL to the broncos.

I went and checked the box scores and STILL did not pick up when the game was played. I just saw the final and assumed your Thursday statement was accurate.

Minnesota better hope they don't play any of their playoff games on a Sunday night.

I'm sure glad the Vikings extended Childress's contract when they had a chance.

Also, the Vikings are gonna win the super bowl, so

hope they dpn't play panthers

Anyway I like the Vikings and chose preseason vikings vs colts in super bowl, but after that beat last night ouch. C'mon vikings Saints just lost and you blew it on that one. As for SD good game against Bengals but I am not sold on them being good. Easiest schedule by far and before the game even started the Bengals said they were not wanting to play SD, of course they were gonna lose to them. I am sorry for my Jets though

Just like the Patriots are hoping they don't have any Playoff games on the road.

lightningninja · « **Reply #284 on:** December 21, 2009, 12:43:01 AM »

ouch... to the PANTHERS!? I still think the Vikings are a solid team though and still predict the superbowl, only because the Saints also showed a vulnerable side this week.

STAMP · « **Reply #285 on:** December 21, 2009, 10:57:10 AM »

Wow, it's beginning to look a lot like ~~Chri~~...a Chargers-Eagles Super Bowl.

I think it's a highly probably scenario. But then, there are actually a lot of probable scenarios for an NFC participant. It can come down to Saints/Vikings/Eagles/Cardinals, whereas it looks pretty obvious it will be Colts or Chargers in the AFC.

Big question: now that the Saints lost, do you think the Colts will go for 16-0 now?

Professoralstad · « **Reply #286 on:** December 21, 2009, 11:09:09 AM »

Yeah, last night's game was painful to watch. I really hope the Vikes can get it together before next week, because I'm sure the Bears would LOVE to ruin our chances of getting the 1st round bye, and the Eagles don't seem to be letting up at all. Next week's game is critical.

Dont you all forget about the Ravens as well... they're still a potential threat to everyone else.

Bingo! Don't forget they were a horrible call away from being in the Super Bowl... I will never forget how we were robbed.... What a horrible call on the TD reversal.

I lauged at this one.

Quote from: The Guardian on December 15, 2009, 06:59:42 PM

It also showed just how inconsistent Arizona is and I feel justified in saying the Vikings loss to them was simply a fluke.

Just like that loss to Carolina, with an injured DeAngelo...

So what about Jerome Harrison? His stat line made me want to wash my eyes out with sulfuric acid.

The ravens have had a lot robbed from them... Haushka robbed us two wins, several bad ref calls have robbed us games.... Also, doesn't it seem like the refs hates the ravens? They could like, pile into our kicker, and they get oh... 5 yards. Ravens do it and get 20 yards, first down, and loss of the rest of our timeouts... lol.

That's just the NFL continuing to eke out punishment against Modell.

I think you are undercounting contenders on the NFC side. Three or four weeks ago, it looked like the Vikings and Saints had elevated themselves well above the rest of the NFC. Now it looks like they've come back to the pack a bit (ha, a 13-1 team back to the pack), whereas Green Bay and Dallas seemed to have stepped up their play. It is increasingly looking like the NFC might well come down to who gets hot down the stretch.

Chargers vs. Colts is going to be a good game.

Unfortunately, that game will not occur this season. One of them is going to have to play the Patriots and will lose.

The Patriots are just dogging it until the playoffs.They especially laid low against the Colts and Saints, just to ignite the pride that would come before the fall (the Patriots have experience with this kind of fall). So far that worked against the Saints, and it will work against the Colts very soon.

The Colts have been testing a similar approach by dogging it until the fourth quarter throughout the year, but the Patriots have the premier dogger in Randy Moss.

Fixed for greater emphasis of point.

Typical statement coming from you mr. excuse, lol. Anyway Colts are the team to beat but I do not think the Patriots or Chargers will beat them. I think it will be Colts vs an unexpected team for AFC championship and Vikings vs Packers for NFC championship and Packers vs Colts for Super Bowl. I know that goes against what I said pre season but I think Packers are too hot right now and want revenge, for the third time, against Brett Favre.

you all don't even consider the threat from Music City, the Tennessee Titans they can still win the wildcard

Only if they win out and other people lose. Dont get me wrong, I think Tenessee is playing the best football of any team not named the Colts, but they will need a lot of help making it to the playoffs and I dont think they can do it.

In the AFC I see the wildcards being Baltimore and probably Jax or Miami.

Correct.

Anybody else following tonight's game with the amazing powerhouse known as the Washington Redskins? They've managed a whopping -14 yards in the first half!

Or maybe your ravens just commit a TON of penalties. Like the hit on Chad OchoCinco.

They are #1 in both penalties committed and yards given by penalties... that's not all the refs. If the Ravens don't start playing cleaner football they won't get to the Super Bowl.
