Colts: Wishy-washy to me. One week it's go for 16-0, the next it's don't go for it. Very likely a quick playoff exit.

I definitely disagree. Like Mr.Hiatus said, the Colts only lost because they are resting and playing very conservative. The Colts would have won if it was a normal game. I can't see how losing won game after taking the starters out qualifies them as a quick exit.

Vikings: Days of Favre's Lives. The Young and the Senseless. Go ahead and pick your own soap opera name.

It's not just the soap opera and an aging quarterback. Tonight's game ended with a fumble by AP to set up a touchdown thrown over the top of a crispy Antoine Winfield. Although no one can stop the mighty Bears offense (at best you can hope to contain them), the Vikings are misfiring badly on multiple cylinders..

The Vikings are one and done in the playoffs. This is most likely going to happen on the first weekend as Philly will wrap up the #2 seed next week.

Patriots/Bengals/Cowboys/Packers/Cardinals: All five 10-5 teams have shown brilliance similar to the Chargers. All five teams have also looked like the Lions at times. Maybe one of these teams can catch lightning in a bottle for three playoff games.
Not one of these teams has ever looked like the Lions.

I take it you didn't watch the Green Bay/Tampa Bay game.

wow... way to drop the ball Vikings defense! Brett Favre and Adrian Peterson couldn't have done more! in the second half

Also... The Vikings are looking like a better team. I know it's hard to say that with a loss... I just want to know how much the refs got paid. Did anyone see the pass interference calls? I counted three HORRIBLE calls.

All the talk in the press this year has been and will be about Favre vs. Rodgers. But I'm really looking forward to Favre vs. Cutler! Probable winner: Vikings

Sheesh! I was wrong again!

You failed to factor in the refs who were on the take.

Indeed. We should not base our decision as to whether or not we have the gift of prophecy on NFL games. Mr. Hiatus is claiming "man"-hood, but strictly speaking, Mark Sanchez did not beat the Colts.

Overheard on KFAN (TC sports-talk radio) this afternoon... AP is going to miss practice on Thursday and Friday of this week. He was invited to Times Square to help drop the ball on New Years.

I wasn't sure which of Rodger's three-interception games you were talking about. He's had four so far this season.

I was thouroughly dismayed and frustrated at the coaching decision in Sundays Colts game. All we really learned is that our third string quarterback needs to be fired. It was absolutely a wasted game that gave us nothing but a little rest for some of the starters. While that may look great on paper, it looks bad in reality because every year we have rested our starters we lose the first round in the playoffs.

haha, you are right about that one.

And the Ravens are going to the playoffs.

Red Dragon Thorn · « **Reply #337 on:** January 03, 2010, 08:02:37 PM »

Yup, Ravens are in, Jets win and in. Otherwise looks like the Texans lock it down.

STAMP · « **Reply #338 on:** January 03, 2010, 08:14:58 PM »

Bengals get to pick who they face in the 1st round: Jets or Texans. If they lose and play the Jets what an awful turn of events for the NFL schedule. We would have three next-week re-matches of the four 1st round playoff games.

Very bad luck for the NFL, indeed. $:-\$

EmJayBee83 · « **Reply #339 on:** January 03, 2010, 08:54:32 PM »

The Vikings looked good. Now they just need to hope that none of their playoff games are scheduled for an evening start.

I actually think this would be fairly cool. I am probably not in the majority, however.

Whoever said Brett Favre can't finish a season please stand up. Then sit back down cause you're wrong!

Alex_Olijar · « **Reply #341 on:** January 03, 2010, 09:56:50 PM »

Sorry, but no. He still caused drama and beat one of the worst secondaries in the league today. Bring it next week and the week after and we can talk.

He still finished a season... if you only go by opponents the chargers still can't be considered a good team... who have they beat besides Philly that's any good?

Alex_Olijar · « **Reply #343 on:** January 03, 2010, 10:01:56 PM »

Maybe I don't consider them a good team. But they beat the Broncos twice, and they are alright.

STAMP · « **Reply #344 on:** January 03, 2010, 10:39:37 PM »

You know what would be the greatest irony: Jets beat Bengals next week and Colts the following.

I'm not aware of anyone who thought Favre couldn't finish the season. Especially given last year when he placed his personal desire to play every game of the season above what was best for his team.

Red Dragon Thorn · « **Reply #346 on:** January 03, 2010, 11:07:11 PM »

if they beat one more team after that, yeah, that would be awesome. Beacause they would make it to the superbowl the year after Favre, what would be even better is if the Vikings played the Jets in the SB.

Lamborghini_diablo · « **Reply #347 on:** January 03, 2010, 11:14:43 PM »

That would be fun, except I know one of those two teams is going to be the Ravens.

Colts, then Bengals, give half-hearted effort to allow Jets into the playoffs. What could be more ironic than if the Jets then beat them in four consecutive weeks?

Thanks, STAMP, I understand now.
