Thank you Christmas and college bowl season: no Thursday night game, no Monday night game. Just Sunday, like Vince Lombardi would want it.
Bungles tend to do well when the spread favors the other team up to 4 points.
That said, I'm ready to book a hotel room in Indy.

The Canterbury, room 606?
I'll be curious to see how long Harbaugh lasts at Michigan.
And no idea who Niners will look to take over.
You have to wonder about the Niners. Just a few years ago, they looked like they were finally getting past their issues and were ready to move forward. But it seems like it's still crazy town there.
:huh:
They figured out all the issues with the York ownership and besides dealing with a talented but difficult coach they are moving on.
Now if the preliminary reports of them interested in that dipshit OC from New England, then maybe i'll agree with your assesment.
Well, we'll see what happens. The recovery is fragile.
That assessment I can agree with.
I mean with Hawks and Cardinals in division and even Rams it is looking tough.
Remember back in the Singletary years, when the whole division was garbage? What a difference a few years makes in the NFL. Unless you're the Raiders.
Chargers being Chargers no matter is Schottenheimer is there or not.
Oh and all the Johnny Football news out of Cleveland :nelson:

Josh McDaniels? No fucking way.
That is what one of the so called experts was throwing out there with like three other names.
I mean I guess maybe he learned not to be a complete nutcase after getting canned by Denver and having to go back to NE, but....
Speaking of former NE coaches, I really like what Bill O'Brien has done in Houston this season. I know they weren't really as bad as their record last year, but to have them actually playing a meaningful game in the last week of the season is pretty great.
Watt just sacked Bortles for a safety and became the first player in NFL history to have 20+ sacks in multiple seasons, according to Fox. Is that stat correct? Apparently it is. Wow.
E: Well, the game actually isn't going to matter even if they win, since the Browns are busy being the Browns. 9-7/8-8 is an excellent season with a new coaching staff though.
McDaniels will get another shot at being a head coach, probably this year. I don't think I would want my team to hire him but I think he has a chance of being better than he did in Denver.
Setting the bar high there are we sbr :P
Oh nice. Jonathan Joseph and Marquise Lee just took each other out in the endzone with 1:35 left in the season.

The guy is a monster. He's probably the best defensive lineman since Reggie White. It'll be nice watching A Football Life about him in 10 years or so.
Thank you, Chiefs.
Watching the end of the Chiefs-Chargers, Shawn Springs does something really smart there. He intercepts Rivers in the end zone, sees the flag on the field, runs it out and burns an extra six seconds off the clock, knowing it wouldn't matter and that the time wouldn't come back. Instead of the Chargers having a few plays to try and do something, they had 4 seconds. Sure, they were probably going to lose anyways, and the 4th down stop is what really iced it, but that kind of smart football play really impresses me.
Rodger's re-injured his calf, hope they can hold on to this 14 point lead..
Flynn might actually be able to get them a few points, if he has to. And their defence has been mostly manhandling the Lions, until that last drive.
Yet again, it's Rex Ryan rather than actual relevant playoff news in the headlines after Week 17.
Also, silver lining for the Bungles following last night's painful loss-- playing the Bills next year instead of the Patriots, and playing the Texans instead of the Colts.

New York. It's where are the reporters are.
I know.
A disappointing year so far. An average Seahawks team wins the NFC by default because Arizona ran out of Quarterbacks. And unless you are Timmay there isn't much to be excited about coming out of the AFC either. Put it this way, the Cowboys might win this year. :bleeding:

Think of it this way: don't look at a Romo championship as a victory for JerryWorld and the evil that is Dallas, but rather another, final validation in the genius of Bill Parcells.

I think it's been a pretty fun year. Aside from disappointment in whatever your favorite team is, what more do you want? I'm not a Cowboys fan but it wouldn't kill me if they won the Super Bowl.

The seahawks aren't average. Based on number crunching Nate Silver thinks if they win the Super Bowl they have a case to be considered the best team ever.
Also, a potential last(ish) run for Manning / Brady in the AFC is sort of exciting, isn't it?

A) The Seahawks have underperformed this year, and B) it would be a weak case.

I'm not saying they are the best team ever, but they exceeded their over/under wins for the season (11), got home field throughout the playoffs, and were 2nd in the league in scoring differential. They started slow, which seems to have started a narrative that has stuck, but I don't think they underperformed.
I gotta agree with AR. Objectively, the Hawks looked like crap the first half of the season (I think due to the loss of players, etc), but I think Wilson and company have gotten the kinks worked out and back in stride for the second half.
Whether it will carry them through to the Bowl...we'll see.

The looked pretty bad in the first half against a bad Rams team.
