I don't think we've talked this much about the Eagles in the office all season. Bring on the Cowboys!!!! Even if we lose, this has still been an amazing season compared to what it could have been, but that being said, I hope we destroy them and hold Dallas to under 21 pts.

Apparently, Romo is "day to day" and will have surgery in the off season.
* * * *
So how in the hell can you get 4 INTS and still L O S E ! ! ! ? ? ? ! !
Now granted, Arizona is playing tough this year, and have been on a great run the past few weeks....
But seriously?!? Horrible, terrible, offensive day for SEA.
This had better be the wakeup call that they need to carry good momentum forward into the playoffs.
They'd better get their crap together and stomp a mudhole in the Rams next weekend.
Take care of business, and the rest will take care of itself.
As of the past 3 games, they do not look like a team that will make it to the Super Bowl because they couldn't win the tough, close games.

While they certainly didn't overly help themselves offensively, I personally think that refs were "helping" the Cardinals a bit too much.... what with the INT towards the end of the game, a few penalties, and non-penalties, etc

But, they have played far better many times over this season....and thus they should not have put themselves in the position of letting terrible refs decide the game.

Ah well, will be even sweeter if we get in on the last day that way . Doubt it, though... Flacco didn't throw well with the knee brace in the first half and we looked rather awful. Maybe it will fire them up for next week?
The Ravens have tiebreakers over the Dolphins or the Chargers alone, but if we all win next week, 3way ties have a different tiebreaker and the Dolphins would be in.
Cincy will be hyped to beat us to improve their seed, meanwhile Chargers face Chiefs who have nothing riding on this game at all.
Good quarterbacking and going 7-4 since the horrific start is how. They were tantalizingly close to being in the mix for the division title -- consider Brown's foot out of bounds vs. the Dolphins, Suisham missing two easy FGs vs. the Raiders, the very close 2nd game vs the Ravens.
Don't get me wrong -- it certainly isn't a good Steelers team, and the defense mostly stinks. But it's a competitive team that's improved and stuck around. The Ravens and most of the AFC don't have any room to talk. It's a bad conference this year.
As a Ravens fan... I totally agree with you! Doesn't keep me from hoping they go 7-9 on the season, though  Automatically Appended Next Post: gorgon wrote: RiTides wrote:How are the Steelers still alive? HOW?

And they still haven't "officially" ruled out Romo.... I do wonder if they unleash their thugs like they did the last time..... Dallas would really rather see the third stringer again, but Vick is the current #2 in Philly.

Watch Rodgers completely break his collar bone and never play in the NFL again, just so the packers could lose in the first round of the playoffs

Coaching staff + scheme man. They assume they can just let Russ scramble then make some miracle pass at least five times a game. Doesn't work when you have a disciplined defense. Bevell and company better get their gak together, and FAST.

Wait, why do you care about them? They're not in our division or even our conference! Seems to come much more naturally to the Redskins fans here to hate them, since they're in both

I love to hate what the cowboys have become... I was such a bandwagoner as a kid and they were my favorite team growing up outside of the 9ers ;0. Now I got nothing but pride for Boston sports which is sort of like bandwagon jumping but I like the teams when they were/are bad too.
My most hated team in the nfl has to be the broncos since forever. Hated shanahan/elway and it's been too easy to hate them over the years with mcdaniels then tebow then Peyton/fox/delrio.

What? How dare you sully the red and gold! Truth be told; I'm married to the Niners, they are the mother of my children and my soul mate. The Raiders, however, are the cheap the mistress I keep in an apartment across town.

I think he meant the Raiders are his "second team"
I wonder if Romo's injury will spur the Cowboys to play well, or just doom them?

On second read your right, I think that's what he meant too. Man my reading comprehension lately is coming apart at the seams.
And there is a 0.00 chance they are keeping romo off the field for this game if he was able to go. My guess is he knew he wasn't going to play almost immediately after getting checked out but the cowboys were just trying to make life harder for the eagles giving them a feint that romo would play. For some reason the people running he cowboys believe in romo being "Clutch". It wouldn't surprise me if orton plays well though as he played pretty well in Denver with mcdaniels for a year so we know he can be pretty good in spurts. His problem has always been consistancy.

Nah, then they'd play him the whole game before pulling him at the start of the 4th 
In all seriousness, Orton is a decent second string, but the Iggles are fired up and playing well. Dallas is going home disappointed and Jerry is allegedly gonna "clean house" in the offseason.

In some crazy scheme in combining two professional football leagues the Cowboys ended up in the NFC... so there's a chance they could make it to the Championship game which turns out they would be facing a AFC team... I preload the hate. Did I mention the only good NFC team are the ones with a losing record?
