Go haunt Ted Ginn, maybe you can scare him into running actual NFL routes.

That.. that was a well coached game by Andy Reid. He even managed a two minute drill well. I'm stunned.

The one yard heartache team is all but retired, and Mason is a Raven now.

Predictions!

(6) Baltimore Ravens  at (3) Miami Dolphins
(5) Indianapolis Colts at (4) San Diego Chargers

(6) Philadelphia Eagles
at (3) Minnesota Vikings
(5) Atlanta Falcons at (4) Arizona Cardinals

(5) Indianapolis Colts at (1) Tennessee Titans
(3) Miami Dolphinsat (2) Pittsburgh Steelers

(6) Philadelphia Eagles at (1) New York Giants
(4) Arizona Cardinals at (2) Carolina Panthers

(5) Indianapolis Colts at (3) Miami Dolphins
(2)Carolina Panthers at (1) New York Giants

(3) Miami Dolphinsvs. (2) Carolina Panthers

~

Miami will make it to the Super Bowl and have Marino come in during half time and become and honorary team captain. He will get his ring and they will win the game for him.

IT'S GONNA HAPPEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Scar you fail at AFC.  Hopefully your NFC is correct though because I want Panthers to win it all!

Shale must avatar that for the rest of year if the Eagles win the Super Bowl.

With 3 of my favorite teams out (Dolphins, Colts, Falcons), that leaves only the Eagles left to root for.

Current rumor has it that Tom Brady is going to start next season on PUP. For those that don't know, PUP is mini IR. After six weeks, the team can choose to activate the player to it's 53 man roster or place them on full IR. This is done for players who are coming off severe injuries from the previous season or fairly serious training game injuries. Priest Holmes in 07 and Carnell Williams/Justin Harrell did this in 08. Patriots are going to almost have to tag Cassel at this point unless they get an offer to die for. I'm not at all surprised by Brady having setbacks. He had a couple of major staph infections in the knee and he had the misfortune to tear two ligaments. 

Combined with the defense that got exposed pretty badly this season and Scott Poili maybe walking, it spells the end of the Patriots dynasty.

Kind of a shame that Brady has to pay for Belichick's crimes.

What the hell happened to Jake Delhomme today.

Still trying to process the Cardinals winning two playoff games this year.

The Ravens winning wasn't so strange.

The Cardinals, though? The Cardinals just got Jake Delhomme to turn the ball over six times and walked into a conference championship game, which they might host? What the hell is going on here.

I hope San Diego wins tomorrow, just to permenantly shut up Patriots fans about the 8-8 thing.

Hah!  San Diego's not the reason the Pats didn't make it.  It's just a symptom.  Teams like Detroit are what really makes it possible for 11-5 not to be good enough.

Believe me, the Cardinals winning is far more offensive to us.

If the system weren't stupid and not only were fine with mediocre teams getting in, they are fine with giving them home games! then the Pats would have though. <_<

What a strange-ass weekend of football. At least the Steelers won, but what the fuck? I can see the Giants losing, it was a tough divisional game and they had been going slightly downhill all season. I can stomach the Ravens winning, it was a tough game and the Titans laid an egg. What the fuck is with the Cardinals, though? Arizona hosting a NFC championship game? What?

The real shocker is Andy Reid learning clock management.

He was showing signs of the old Reid near the end of the first half, not that that mattered.

Fuck you, Andy Reid.

Oddly, it's hard to blame the offense for that one. Yeah, they fell short at the end, but they also put up three touchdowns and two field goals against a defense that'd been pretty damned good lately. If the defense could have stopped a meaningful Cardinals drive even once outside of the third quarter, the Eagles probably would have won. Feh.

Sheldon Brown should be embarrassed for how badly he blew tackles in the run game today.

Yeah... a lot of people are saying McNabb choked.

375 yards and 3 touchdowns is choking these days?  Granted, he had 1 interception, but still a solid game overall.

It's always been like that for McNabb, fair or not.  Despite the fact that he and Westbrook are the only two good players on that offense, he always takes all the blame for the team not performing well.
