Your sports thoughts for the day

[determined4000]

D I think sometimes you're too excited to post a wall of text and don't fact check. Seattle is still eligible to win the division and possibility of getting a bye so saying they won't host a game at this point is a stretch

ummmm, SF playing @home vs Cards final game of the year
Me thinks Seattle wont win division
facts were checked and assumptions were made

If you actually think arizona has a realistic chance of winning this game, I would love to hear your reasoning.

[determined4000]

Nets can Avery Johnson and target Phil
Meanwhile LAC keeps showing they are the team to beat in LA. Boston looked too old AND too young and inexperienced tonight.

Greg McElroy hurt and Sanchez starts again. When will it end? Free Tebow just for 1 game. What have you got to lose? As is they wont be able to get anyone to trade anything for him and will have to release him. But if he plays and does well maybe the Jags would have to give up compensation. Rex refuses to admit he was wrong for sticking with Sanchez too long and is compounding mistakes with more mistakes.

Bowl games starting to become watchable and only 10 more days until the Grand daddy of them all.
Bama current 9.5 favorite.

I will bet anyone in here that line for the notre dame game. I will take ND if someone wants to take Alabama and they have to cover the spread (Dead srs)

I think Bama will win but I'd take the points (that's not a good sign for you bob)

Want to place a wager on this game then?
I get 9 1/2 and ND

Bama would have to win by 10 for you to win

No I'm saying I don't think Bama covers the spread (but that means they will because I'm always wrong on that)

[The Solution]

I am thinking this game will be like the LSU vs Bama 6-3 finish.
Both Defenses are lights out.

At the end of week 5
The Packers and Broncos had losing records (now both are in line for byes)
The Seahawks and Redskins were in last place
The Chargers, Giants and Cardinals were in 1st place
Matt Ryan was the front runner for MVP
Calvin Johnson was Madden Cursed
Michael Vick and Alex Smith were leading title hopefuls
The Lions, Jets and Saints were just off to bad starts
Replacement refs were just being ousted
Aderrol was not being talked about
Adrian Peterson was still winding into shape off injury
The Cowboys had scored the fewest points in the NFL
MJD would be back soon
RG3, Russell Wilson and Andrew Luck looked lucky

Tomorrow's Headlines today
-AP breaks 2000 mark but cant take team into playoffs. Dickerson's record remains safe.
-Late game collapse ends Cowoboys season
- Bears upset by Lions and squeaking in are Gmen
- Pack, Falcons, Broncos and Texans secure byes
-Andy Reid and Norv Turner clean out offices
- Vick's strong play has him as strong trade bait candidate

[The Solution]

Jets QB was injuried with concussion, oh lets start sanchez again
In before he has 4 turnovers and Tebow sits the sidelines...

I feel bad for Tebow, especially if he goes to the Jags.

Loving the bowl games right now. WVU got hammered by Syraucse, and the big game is slowly coming almost a week away!!

[psychodiver9]

Starting Sanchez makes 0 sense. If nothing else if Tebow plays well maybe he can be traded and not cut

[ThousandEyes]

Agree with all the headlines, I'm gonna flip if we trade Vick, and I'll be sad to see Andy Reid go. I never thought he was really the problem.

Sorry d but I'd much rather see RG3 in the playoffs than the cowboys.

I don't think the Giants will make it in though.

Good luck to all who need wins to get in. Should be a good day to watch NFC games since AFC is locked up for playoff teams (only seeding changes poss.)

[psychodiver9]

Big vikes fan today. Want ponder to get in and SF a bye

Would like to see AP break record but he won't.


Go skins

If you wan your team to keep Reid/Vick then you dont care about winning

[The Solution]

Cowboys are 2-10 in week 17 games
Romo
Is 1-5 in must win games

Lets see what happens today for the skins and Dallas game

[ThousandEyes]

If you wan your team to keep Reid/Vick then you dont care about winning

imho those two aren't the problem.

The issue is the entire team is either selfish spotlight hogs or trying to make up for one another. No one has a team mentality and tries to put everything on themselves.

Add an injured line to that and you've got a recipe for disaster.

A $100 mil QB who can't play a full season and doesn make the playoffs isn't a problem? Reid has clearly lost this team. If you don't think major changes in Philly are needed the I don't know. Foles is a much better option than Vick.

[FitnessCPA]

That Vick signing was one of the dumbest moves in recent history. Everyone knew at the time that he wasn't a good QB. He had a good what, half season? Did anybody expect him to put 4,000 yards and 30+ TDs for the next five years? LOL.

[ThousandEyes]

Changes need to be made, but what I see is Vick trying to make up for a whole teams mistakes, which never works. His line can't help and his receivers are covered too well because the opposing teams d-line doesn't need a blitz to get pressure. And if they blitz he has no time to do anything.

Andy may have lost the team, but I don't see a new coach coming in and fixing that if that's the biggest issue.

[psychodiver9]

What has Vick done to earn any support? Hes a below average NFL QB who can't stay healthy.

You wut? You don't understand how a new coach will help bring a team back together? Reid named an OL coach as his DC this year FFS

[psychodiver9]

Lol Vick and Reid. Lol

[FitnessCPA]

Goodbye, Giants.

[FitnessCPA]

I think the scenario for the NFC is pretty simple now.

As of the morning games being completed, here's where we stand (I think). The two important games remaining are MIN/GB and DAL/WAS.

SF, Sea, GB, and ATL are already in the playoffs.

If Minnesota wins, they're in.
If Minnesota loses, they're out and Bears are in.

If Dallas wins, they're in.
If Washington wins, they're in.

Is that right?

Seedings of course are still way up in the air.

[psychodiver9]

^yes. Minny win and in. Minny loss and chi is in. Wash/dal winner in.

Sf win and gb loss as sf gets bye!

CP playing well and AP is a freaKing manimal

[determined4000]

NIIIIIIINNNNNNNEEEEEEEE yards short!!!
Minny gets the win and AP soooo close

MVP

MVP

Now my Cowboys will torture me...

[psychodiver9]

I felt bad that he got so close. Hes fun to watch. Cowgirls and Romeo going down

x2 on AP
Was rooting for him
But I was glad to hear Dickerson be so open about wanting to keep his record. All the other old-timers lie and say they don't care if their records are broken or feign happiness when they are broken.



Just happy not to be losing w/ 2INTs already

[psychodiver9]

Agree on Dickerson comments.

Lol. Romeo being Romeo in the clutch

NFL Lines Wild Card Playoffs - NFL Football Line
Wild Card Weekend Playoff Games
NFL Game Lines 1/5 - 1/6, 2013

Date & Time Favorite Line Underdog Total
1/5 4:30 ET At Houston -4.5 Cincinnati 43.5
1/5 8:00 ET At Green Bay -8 Minnesota 46
1/6 1:00 ET At Baltimore -6.5 Indianapolis 46.5
1/6 4:30 ET Seattle -2.5 At Washington 45.5

IMO the NFC matchups are far more compelling. Minny plays GB one week after beating them in a game they needed to get in. 2012 MVP vs 2011MVP

And then you have RG3 vs Russell Wilson in the other matchup. Rook vs Rook

In the AFC, Houston has been playing poor as of late and Cinci has been on the uptick. Houston is the better team but momentum can be a funny thing.
We didn't see Baltimore and Indy play each other this year either. Obviously you have Luck in his first game and if they win he would go against Peyton the following week.

Awards Watch
MVP: AP
Offensive PoY- Manning (if we pick someone other than AP*)
Defensive PoY- JJ Watt
Coach of the Year- Shanahan or Frazier (but Arians should really win but no eligible)
Rookie: RG3 (sorry Luck but Griffin was better play in and play out)
Comeback: Again would go to Manning if picking someone other than AP
Exec: Bruce Allen (criticized for dealing away so many picks for RGIII, then criticized for drafting Cousins and gold-mined Morris in the 6th). --> 5 wins to 10.

Not real awards Awards
LVP: Sanchez
Disappointment: Eagles
GOAT: Commish- Blown call ends up costing GB a bye!!!! We find out not enuf evidence for NO suspensions.
Worst Coach: Rex
Worst GM: Jerry Jones
Worst Uniforms: Steelers brown prison outfits
Best Uni's: Chargers powder blues
Most F-bombs dropped: Rob Ryan
Worst story: Belcher and Brent
Best story: Pagano
Breakout: Cobb
In game analyst: Aikman
Desk Analyst: Young (must be something about QBs)
Worst: Stuart Scott

thats 2-11 in week 17 and 1-6 in must win games.

Yeah.. thats your franchise QB Dallas...

Time for him to get the boot too....

Him and Sanchez are both bad (Sanchez being worse) and should not be the head of a franchise as a QB.

Sanchez is worse but has been to 2 afc champ games and beat Peyton in Indy? Aside from put up fantasy numbers what has Romeo ever done? He is just like Cutler. Puts up stats for you fantasy nerds but doesnt do the one thing a QB should, win.

Early this season I caught major **** for saying Cutler wasn't a good QB, couldnt win, etc. Where isthe Cutler love now? Home on the couch with him
