Well, the factory of sadness is officially closed, and the word is that the Chud is getting fired. Didn't the guy only have 2 years? Helluva quick turn around.

Additionally, watching Aaron Rodgers play today so far, even rusty, reminds me of how very much better he is than Andy dalton.

Thanks!

Congrats on the win, Byte! I've been traveling, or I'd have told you earlier.

Great season everyone!

Thanks to you both! Loads of fun getting through the season.

Dang... Ravens out of playoffs...

Wait the ravens are out? How do the tiebreakers work if Baltimore, San Diego, Miami all lose? Does that mean Pittsburgh gets in?

Yes. Pitts in... -amend- with Charger loss.

The tension in the living room where my wife is watching the
Bears Packers game is palpable.

Crazy stuff. I hope they get in and knock the Chiefs out later.

Legarette Blount just outrushe the #2 rushing offence in the nfl by himself....

and he was doing punt returns...

Kick offs. Had a 62 and 83 yard return ;p. I hate not having the ability to watch football wahhh.

Edit :and how did San Diego take 10 minutes off the clock in 1 possession in OT?!?

Opps nevermind... game over.

Chargers in.

So next weekend is

Cincy vs chargers
Indy vs KC

Should be awesome and I'll be able to watch tv by then hopefully. I bet tonight's game between Philly and Dallas is gonna be a barn burner too. Screw you comcast ;(

Also sorry bears bros that seemed like a brutal way to lose ;(.

And on the NFC side...

I'm thinking:

'49ers vs. GB
NO vs. Philly

Never thought I'd be cheering for the Pack!

Uhh am I reading this right? Did Blount just have the 11'th best all purpose yard game in nfl history?!?

http://m.pfref.com/m?p=XXleadersXXall_purpose_yds_single_game.htm

Blount had 145 return yards and 189 rushing yards...

Like I said in the World Series thread for baseball I cannot believe how blessed I am as a Boston sports fan. It really puts things in perspective sometimes. Cannot wait for the playoffs now! With this rushing attack and tom Brady this could be awesome. Bellichik and Brady have been to the Super Bowl 5 of the 7 previous times they've had a bye... This is their 8th time in 13 years having a bye and their 13'th straight winning season.

Yes, a BEAST!

With the Ravens out and no way I could hope for the Broncos the Patriots get my vote!

Sorry guys... I have to root against the Cheatriots

;p. carrying over bitterness from the WS? Jk whembly everyone gotta hate someone I can't really blame you. It's the same reason I will always root against the giants for forever.

The Playoffs this year are gonna be crazy. The NFC is so loaded and the AFC isn't, so it's gonna be pretty evenly matched all around. Until the Super Bowl probably.

Nah... bitterness since spygate in 2002. I can't bring myself to "hate" on the Redsoxs... they were a fun team too...

Totally understand bro!

The NFC goes thru Seattle now... that stadium is something else.

It's official Chud is fired after 1 season as head coach of the Cleveland Browns. Apparently less than a year ago, Chud was "their guy", now he's out the door.

And I was glad to see that Jimmy Haslam III was able to tear himself away from his legal preceedings to watch most of the Browns/Steelers game, apparently he left with 6 minutes still to go in the 4th quarter. I don't really blame him, but he's just as much to blame for this as the guys down on the field.

Yah Seattle looks like a wagon whembly. Should be spectacular next week with GB at San Fran and I'm pumped on KC vs Indy. I still can't believe Carolina started 1-3 and got the 2 seed. Looks like they've really taken king of the south from NO for a year.

That, gentlemen, is how you end a season!

GO HAWKS!

Now all roads for the NFC make a stop in Seattle.

So, on other news, I heard that Langford no longer plays for the Rams following that little "incident" on the field. Can anyone confirm?

Actually, SF (5th seed) travels to GB (4th seed) for the game. Hopefully Kap has issues with the Frozen Tundra and cold weather.

It pains me to say "Go Pack!"...ouch...yep..I think I pulled something saying that.

* * * *

Why would Langford not be a member still? The hit was completely accidental as he was making a sweeping gesture with his arm and the ref just happened to be coming up behind him from that direction. He wasn't even looking that way to see the ref there.

I think the ref (Triplett) over-reacted with the ejection..but...whatever.

I'm still in disbelief that KC found a way to blow that game. Steelers would have been the first team in over 20 years to start 0-4 and make the playoffs. Still, the lesson is to not start 0-4.

Regarding Chudzinski's firing, I figure there's more to it than just a 4-12 record. Nothing juicy, just probably some philosophical differences, etc. that the FO felt they couldn't resolve. If I was a Cleveland fan, I'd try to trust Joe Banner. He has his warts, but he did a really good job in Philadelphia. And the Richardson trade looks like a coup now. Or at least a decent recovery after a poor draft pick.

Interesting.... Nola heads to Philly....
Philly wins, they go to Carolina., meaning they wouldn't face Seattle until the NFC Championship Game.
That could be a very interesting match up as Philly primarily uses hand signals and signs to send in plays.

Also, who else thinks Washington's FO is kicking themselves for trading away their first round pick (#2 overall) for this year? I imagine the Rams are thinking 'Hey 'Skins.. Thanks for the crappy season. BWAhahahahaha....'

Yah the skins are probably kicking themselves now. But they couldn't have known how RGIII was gonna go down like he did. If he played this year like he did last year they probably wouldn't have been #2 overall and wouldn't have minded so much. But it's still a kick in the butt.

I think that Green Bay hosting San Fran (that was my bad) is gonna be the game of the weekend. Although the philly saints game could be awesome too.

I'm happy the Eagles won, but I'm not happy about how close it was. This has been a very interesting season to be an Eagles fan and I can't believe we're at 10-6 and in the playoffs...crazy...

KC was resting most of their starters. You should be in disbelief because of how bad the officiating was at the end of that game. Watch the replay of the kick. San Diego illegally overloaded the line with 7 to the side of the center. That's a 5 yard penalty and rekick that wasn't called even though it was glaringly obvious. Then there was the stripped ball that was taken before forward progress was halted, and then there was the illegal contact call that should've been a PI, because the ball was in the air. Steelers fans should be pissed.

Did anyone see the NFL memo stating they messed up and didn't call a flag on the missed succop field goal at the end of regulation in the KC/SD game yesterday? Apparently San Diego had an illegal overload on one side and Pittsburgh got potentially screwed out of the playoffs because it.

There was a lot of crap reffing all over the league yesterday.
