Would you hire Wade Phillips? He's had moderate success through his career, I think he could be a short-term solution for a team. I mean, he's better than Norv Turner. I can't stand Turner. He took Schottenheimer's competitive Chargers and turned them into a group of underachieving clowns.

[MToolen]

Wait, the Rams are doing better than the Cowboys? Woohoo!

I mean, sorry for your loss.

[Bear]

brilliant article. A+

[Ghost]

Giants are 6-4, Jets are 9-2. Life is good.

Unless the Giants lose... again .

:/

[Master Rudy]

And what did we learn on Sunday? Cortland Finnegan is a little bitch......



On the bright side the Jets are 9-2. All we have to do now is beat New England and that overated Justin Beiber lookalike since no one else want to do it for us

[Bear]

Andre f'ed him up. Finnegan is lucky everyone stepped in because if that had continued he would have been bleeding.

[Master Rudy]

Andre f'ed him up. Finnegan is lucky everyone stepped in because if that had continued he would have been bleeding.

From my understanding and what I've heard Andre isn't the sort of guy that would start a fistfight. If you're a tiny punk like Finn is then you best not get someone as big as Johnson angry enough to toss a punch. Andre may have thrown the first punch (upon rewatching it wasn't first but still) but just watch Finn and how rough/dirty he plays in general. Add to the fact he did this to Johnson all day Sunday AND in a game in 2009 and I guess we should be more surprised that he wasn't torn in half sooner.

[Drago]

Y'all say Johnson is a BAMF because he's hitting Finny in the back of the head?
Umm, yeah... Whatever. Finny throws shots to the face, not in the back of someone's head like a Texan pussy.

Andre punched him in the back of the head because Finnegan was crouched over. You try punching someone in the face when they are bent over like that. Andre caught him with an uppercut as well when Finnegan stood up, so it's not like he was solely aiming at the back of his head. He was aiming at whatever part of his head he could reach at the time. And lol, I would love to see you call him a Texan pussy to his face. I sure as shit wouldn't. I'm not saying Finnegan is a pansy (he's an NFL player therefore he must be in good shape), I'm just saying Andre would have won that fight if it had continued. Either way both guys got ejected (which is what they deserved) and Johnson will likely get suspended (which he also deserves).

[Drago]

I'd never call Andre a Texan pussy to his face... Fucker's been too useful in fantasy over the years.

[Master Rudy]

Kinda surprised this topic keeps dipping down this year :-/

Anyway Favre's streak ends at 297.....Peyton Manning becomes the active leader at 205 games. He'll need to play without missing a game for 5.75 more years to beat the all time record (or just five if the NFL approves the proposal for an 18 game season)

In other news my Jets got their asses handed to them by two division rivals. The good news is that they clinch a playoff spot in the event that they win the upcoming game against the Steelers when combined with losses from the Chargers, Colts and Dolphins. On the flipside however a Pats win with a Jets loss will clinch the AFC East for them :-/

I'm just hoping that the Jets aren't going to take a third straight loss.

[Bear]

I wouldn't count on the Jets clinching this week, but beating the Steelers is a very real possibility. If the Jets can generate enough offense they could outduel the Steelers, since their offense hasn't exactly been productive. If they can keep the Steelers' defense from running all over them, they have a good shot at it. I wouldn't count on the Clots, Chargers, and Dolphins all losing this week though, especially with who they are playing.

[Master Rudy]

Hey I never said it was probable but it's not impossible!

In fact screw a simple clinch! If the Jets win out the rest of the season and the Pats lose out then WE'RE the AFC East champs!
Granted that's even more improbable but it'll be awesome if it happens!

[Bear]

As long as it keeps snowing the Pats will never lose lol

I felt like that for about 20 minutes after the Steelers lost. Then I realized that Karma will eventually catch up to the Jets. Steelers still clinched so I'm not worried.

[Drago]

What a weird feeling with the Titans win. It's like: wins. I remember those. I like those. But this late in the game, is it much more than draft position dicking?

[Jeff]

It's that time of the year again...

The NFL Playoffs!

So, remember when mr_pikachu posted his playoff predictions and afterwards we all got to laugh at how far off they were? Yeah, good times, so I thought this year, I'd do the honors. So, here goes:

Wildcard Round:

Indianapolis vs. NY Jets
I'll give this one to the Jets, the Colts have been slipping this year.

Baltimore vs. Kansas City
Ravens over Chiefs for this one. Fairly safe call IMO.



Green Bay vs. Philadelphia
Both teams hold the same record, but I'll give this one to the Eagles, who beat the Packers in the regular season.

New Orleans vs. Seattle
This is a tough one to call. It's going to be a long evenly-matched struggle between the reigning Super Bowl champs and the 7-9 Seattle Seahawks... OK, enough of that... yeah, Saints.


Divisional Round:

Baltimore vs. Pittsburgh
These are two of the most evenly matched teams in the league, so this really is a tough one to call. However, the Ravens, unlike the Steelers lost by less than a touchdown in all four losses. So, I see their ability to keep the game close paying off for them in this matchup of rivals, much like it did in the first Ravens-Steelers game this season. That and I'm a Ravens fan, so I kinda have to call a close game for them.

New England vs. NY Jets
The Pats enter, and the Jets exit. Yeah, the Jets were able to beat the Patriots once this season, but then got their rear ends thoroughly handed to them by the same. The Patriots are on a hot streak that shows no signs of ending anytime soon.



Chicago vs. Philadelphia
This is another tough call to make, so I'll just go off of the teams' records, as close as they are, and call it for da Bears.

Atlanta vs. New Orleans
Another one I'm going to call based on good old fashioned wins. Falcons over Saints.


Conference Championships:

Baltimore vs. New England
The Ravens took the Patriots into overtime in the regular season, but I don't see that happening this time around. New England has been steamrolling over opponents lately so as much as I hate to say it, this should be an easy win for them.



Atlanta vs. Chicago
Falcons over Bears for this one. The Falcons had a good season, not only finishing with the second best record in the league, but also getting wins over teams like the Saints and Ravens, so I see them as the NFC champions.


-~- Super Bowl LXV -~-

Atlanta vs. New England
And I predict that, once again, the New England Patriots will take home the Lombardi Trophy. A team that only lost to the Jets, and for some reason the Browns, but went on to get a very commanding victory over the former later in the season.

And the Jets have done the "impossible" () and managed to beat New England. Next stop victim: the Steelers!

[Jeff]

Next stop victim: the Steelers!

You think that Rudy, but you'll be watching the game, your Jets will be up by a couple touchdowns at the half and you'll feel like they're invincible. Then, all of the sudden, they'll decide to give the game away to the Steelers in the second half. That's just how it goes...



Oh wait, who are we talking about? Oh yeah, the Jets, yeah... the Jets.

[Bear]

Lol Jeff, Ravens fan are we? It's ok, as far as I'm concerned the Ravens-Steelers game WAS the AFC championship. We'll see how the Jets do this time around now that Polamalu is back and they don't get away with Pass Interference in the end zone to save the game. My guess is they used all their mojo on the Patriots.

It was a sad sight to watch. My home team(Patriots) losing to the Jets! Horrible!

Funny.....I seem to remember you being the guy who even said your own favorite team would fall to the Pats. Yet look at what happened.....the team that was suppose to beat the Steelers lost to the Jets. Logic would dictate that this means the Jets WILL beat the Squealers since they beat the Pats and you seemed to think that the Pats would beat your team

Anyway the way I see it right now I'm predicting a Jets/Packers match for the Super Bowl. And I'll be honest.....while I'm hoping the Jets will win that one the Packers were one of the few teams I was actually worried about going into the playoffs. Guess we'll have to see what happens if that turns out to be the match :-/

[Pokemaster Ash]

Heh heh heh... It sure has been an interesting post season, hasn't it? And now the biggest match of the set turns out to not be the Super Bowl, but the NFC Championship. Bears against the Packers at the other frozen tundra of Soldier Field. Heh heh... This will be so much fun, trashing those cheeseheads in front of the home crowd.

I'm think it'll be Bears and Steelers in the Super Bowl. Do you really need to ask who I think will win? *grin* Go get 'em Bears. Something special seems to be in the air this year...

[Bear]

Eh, the reason I didn't think the Steelers could beat the Pats is because they have our number big time. For one reason or another, that team just has the right recipe for beating the Steelers. The Jets, on the other hand, have a different style and skillset, which the Steelers match up well against. Just because they beat the Pats doesn't mean they will beat the Steelers again, because that's not how the NFL works. They beat the Pats because they had the right recipe that day, not because they are a better team (which they aren't, sorry).

[Drago]

In the biggest news in the NFL, the Titans have recently doubled their Pro Bowl numbers with CJ1.3K and Griffin getting the nod in the face of injuries. Tragically though, coach Washburn is headed to Philly, leaving the d-line in a possible state of disarray.

...Wait, what are you guys talkin 'bout?

[Drago]

So who looked more devastated on the sideline? Rex Ryan or Jay Cutler?

[Bear]

Rex. He definitely threw his headset (I was hoping he would stomp on it too but alas ).

Also HERE WE GO STEELERS!

[Jeff]

[Bear]

I like how the camera panned to him right at that moment

[Drago]

I just realised something! Look at Bear's signature... So that's why Rex Ryan never keeps his mouth shut!!
