Another Bears loss, with 10 seconds left in the 4th Quarter...words escape me.

Yeah I was at the stadium for that game, I just had a feeling that it was coming. Though on the bright side that loss keeps the bears in a #4 draft slot, if only the jaqs had won then the bears would of moved up to #3

Holy gakking efff the colts at vikings game was a dumpster fire for the vikes. Never count out the Vikes ability to lose to a worse team spectacularly. Someone needs to tell the vikes you are supposed to win and losing is bad mmmkay.

Two weeks to go. Who makes it in and who is out of the playoffs.

In the AFC, The Raiders and Patriots are in, and the Steelers look really good to win their division. After their huge win in KC, I think Tennessee wins the AFC south as I think the Texans lose to them in the last game to finish one game back. I think KC wins one of the last two to take one wildcard spot, and Baltimore gets the last wildcard spot as I think Miami drops their last two games (at Buffalo and home vs. New England) while Baltimore goes 1 and 1.

For the NFC, its a little more muddled, Obviously Dallas and Seattle are good to go, with Atlanta is control of their division. I can see either Detroit or Green Bay winning, but lean Green Bay. The Giants are more or less a lock for a wildcard. The last wildcard is much harder to figure, but it seems the schedule favors the Redskins, as I think their only loss in their last 3 comes at New York. But should they lose then I think it is whoever finishes second in the NFC north.


On an interesting note, both last year's Super Bowl teams are not likely to make the playoffs.

I think Steelers-Ravens is a tough game that either side can win. Helps that the Steelers are at home, where Roethlisberger has played much, much better this season (17 TDs, 3 INTs).

Not sure I see Miami losing at Buffalo with Rex being a lame duck and the Bills having nothing to play for.

Was really really pulling for you guys, Detroit needs a lot of help :(

Well that didn't take long to shake up my playoff predictions after the Redskins laid an egg on Monday night.

Also, Texans did not waste anytime and confirmed that Savage would start against the Bengals. So it looks like it will be 2019 before the Texans have another shot at finding a franchise quarterback. While not Browns bad in terms of futility at the QB position, just think what this team might have been like with a QB that ranked just inside the top half of the league.

Derrick (sp?) Carr, now the QB for the Raiders seems to suggest that at one point the Texans did, in fact, have a very good QB... seems like the Texans are like the Lions and Dolphins of the 90s.... They have a great player at one position, but are severely hampered by an offensive line, or another position, etc.

Derek Carr is a different Carr than the one that played for the Texans. That was his older brother, David Carr. Derek was drafted by the Raiders.

And an RG3 injury.

Today was unpleasant for a number of players... I mean, 2 Qbs break a leg, a wide receiver does so in rather gross fashion... Yeah, not great for a number of them.

Yeah, poor Derek Carr... he looked like Rick James dragging himself across the floor after Charlie Murphy stomped his ass.

Go Texans!

Seriously? WTF Vikings. NOW they decide to show up to play. AFTER they threw it all away. So frustrating, but typical.

And the Chiefs are in! Let's see if they can go all the way this year! Probably not, but a man can hope, right?

Two weeks to get everyone healthy... Yep, The Chiefs will at least go to the AFC Championship vs (prob) NE Patriots.

Yep, I see them getting stopped by NE, but still head and shoulders above the rest in the AFC. Speaking of the bottom, Houston is back on Osweiler, which should be good news for Oakland's defense, but the Raiders are still struggling with a QB injury of their own. So it looks like it will come down who who is less worse.

Atlanta and Dallas are looking strong for the NFC.

I think if NYG lose, then the Cowboys have a real good shot of making it all the way to the Superbowl.

It's going to be rough though.

Go Brady and Patriots!

<---- recovering Rammies fan.

Well, that was a bit surprising...

Still, glad to have you aboard for the remainder of this season!

Obviously, I want the Seahawks to win it all this year.... but if they get knocked out, my hope is that the Giants meet that Pats in the Super Bowl, again. And again, like the previous meetings, Eli delivers a whoopin to Tom, cuz feth Brady and the Patriots.

Can't we all just get along and hope our teams do well?

I find your schadenfreude...disappointing!

Well the Lions are in the playoff. They play tonight with the Seahawk. We shall see what happen. I really want see Packer go down very hard. I hate them.

Go Texans!

So... Saturday games are done, and Houston and Seattle are moving on.


My predictions for the Sunday games are Pittsburgh and New York.

Frankly, I have to pick the Giants because of the situation I'd find hilarious, which was previously mentioned, however I think they may be a bit of a long shot in this game as GB has seemed to get their act together at the right time.

Pitt finished really strong. They are also my pick for today over the Dolphins.

Packers/ Giants? Toss up. I will go packers as they are at home.

Why not go for Seahawks/Patriots again?

That way we can see this face again:
