Jasno,

How are the Ravens doing this year. Been a while since you posted about them. Just curious.

feels good to be the least sh*tty of all the sh*tty teams again. HAIL!

Well, that is simple.

I am all for Falcons tonight, but can Drew Breese get at least two TD passes? I need 11 points from him to make my fantasy playoffs.....

cL, I need 24 points from Brees tonight to close the RI league out with 5 straight wins and NOT make the playoffs!

I need all those points because one of Kost's mates had the Clots D against B'more last night. Ugh.

The Kol-Aid tasts SOOOOOOO good this morning and I am so happy to be drinking this much of it...how long has it been since the wild dreaming days of Training Camp? At least for this week, I am going to enjoy the fact that we're pretty much in the driver's seat here.

"feels good to be the least sh*tty of all the sh*tty teams again. HAIL!"

Yes, we are the tallest midget.

One of the media's hobby horses this year has been how much better the AFC is than the NFC. They've played 54 interconference games through 14 weeks. The NFC has won 27 and the AFC has won 27. Sounds pretty even, so far.

OK my head is spinning from reading that post. lol

(Apologies...this is from the last thread.)

First, about the guest post: I agree with Tandler on most of his points. When Spurrier left the Redskins, he left NOTHING worth mentioning in his wake. Any good players Spurrier left behind were acquired before he arrived, with the notable exceptions of Randy Thomas and Laveranues Coles. The player evaluation was poor, the team was run horribly, the starting QB was a shattered shell of the player he was when he was drafted due to poor schemes, there were no RBs or WRs of note besides Coles.

Gibbs as a coach has been below average. Gibbs as a GM has been slightly above average.

I think people often make the mistake of comparing Gibbs to the best GMs in the league, primarily because the good ones are the ones they know. Gibbs went out and got a legit starting RB, a decent #1 WR (who probably would ideally be a #2 -- but let's face it, #1 WRs don't grow on trees). He got a whole bunch of starting-quality defensive talent, already mentioned in other comments. He went out and got a potential franchise QB.

Yes, he has had misses in free agency - but I defy anyone to show me a team that hasn't. The problem was that the 3 biggest mistakes happened last year, and people have very short memories. Archuleta, Duckett and Lloyd are the big ones. Who else was a total bomb of an acquisition? Instead of taking Carlos Rogers in the first round, I suppose the team could have taken Antrell Rolle...or Pacman Jones. Gulp.

The biggest mistake Gibbs made was taking a good offensive line for granted. He didn't do enough in his time so far to shore up the line, and he is paying the price this year as all those 30-somethings are getting hurt all the time.

There is no doubt the Redskins have underachieved on gameday, and you have to point at the coaching for that. But in terms of raw talent, there aren't too many NFL rosters I would trade the Redskins' roster for -- particularly in the watered-down NFC. There are teams that might make the playoffs ahead of the Redskins that certainly aren't as talented from top to bottom, but are better-coached (read: Tampa Bay Buccaneers).

Seems to me that the Jints might -- might -- relax a little bit this Sunday, since they are coming off a tough win over the Iggles, they have no shot at the division crown, they only need one win to clinch the playoffs, and they are two games ahead of Minny (who does hold a tiebreaker with a win over NYG) and three games ahead of us and everybody else vying for that sixth spot. Their playoff position can't get better, and they have a cushion.

Regardless, we have to show up. The D has to be strong to the finish. The O has to be efficient, convert third downs, and score some more of those "touchdown" things which were introduced last Thursday. (I can't wait to see what Colonel Saunders has cooked up for his boy Todd!) The special teams just gotta keep being special.

We can do this.

HAIL!

Can't decide if I should reach for the Advil or the Midol.

All of this goes to show you just how much pressure parity has placed on these coaches and players. One play, one poor decision, one instance of bad game management, or one turnover can cost your team everything. Every play counts...

It raises the musical question, which team would you rather visit as an NFC wild card: Tampa or Seattle?

Crikey!

I'm pretty sure it's going to take a miracle for the Skins to make it.

I'd bet on Lisa and I sharing a romantic dinner in Georgetown before I bet on the Skins getting that 6 spot.

Ex-NFL star Michael Vick sentenced to 23 months in prison for his role in a dogfighting conspiracy.

I love this. Love it, I say! If so-and-so wins or loses, then such-and-such happens, and so on. It's brain excercise, and I don't have the time or patience for sudoku, so I'll take it.

Plus, last time we were faced with running the table or being eliminated from contention, we reeled off 5+1, so that gives me hope. Of course, it could all come crashing down next Sunday night (I don't think 8-8 will get it done, despite everything), but I'm eager to see how TC fares in a start with a week to prepare.

I'm with macaro. I'm going to enjoy the heck out of this week, because it might be the last week like it for a year.

I'd bet on Lisa and I sharing a romantic dinner in Georgetown before I bet on the Skins getting that 6 spot.

LMGO

RB,

I purpose that IF the skins make playoffs you and Lisa should break bread together....

Can we get a "Oh yeah"

I will lower my 10 win redskins crocs and undroos pics pledge to playoffs...

C'mon people what will you commit to??

Posted by: NateinthePDX | December 10, 2007 10:54 AM

Tampa. We play there so often it's practically a home field to us.

RB,

That might have been the funniest thing you've ever written here.

"the patently-putrid NFC"

of course, when last I checked the "patently -putrid" NFC was above .500 against the "ridiculously-overrated" AFC this year. Its parity. Even between the conferences. Deal with it.

People think the AFC is so much better because it has the only two teams that have risen above the pack: NE and Indi. Of course, it also has easily the worst two teams in the league in Miami and the Jets.

cl,

I'm just worried about the following:

We never play well at Giants Stadium. Minny runs buck wild at home. And Dallas is Dallas.

Saying that, do you like mexican or italian, Lisa? If you wouldn't dare look at my face, I will send lunch to your office.

I will also write Gibbs a letter of apology and will post it on the blog before sending it off.

So that's two things for me. What is everyone else willing to do?

Haven't been around in a while. Just thought I'd chime in and say that I'm not holding my breath. I think the likelihood is more apt to be 7-9 and more possibly 6-10. I think we might have spent our wad on Thursday night.

I know I'm not normally a doomsayer, but damn, I feel like we're slightly cursed.

Instead of taking Carlos Rogers in the first round, I suppose the team could have taken Antrell Rolle...or Pacman Jones. Gulp.

Posted by: jcabana | December 10, 2007 10:50 AM

They were both chosen ahead of Rogers. We got sloppy thirds, and still got the best of the three.

Other free agent busts? Coles, Hall, and that kick return dude we got in negotiation.

Lloyd and Duckett were not free agents. We traded for them.

Gibbs' biggest failures as a GM have been in wasting draft picks and in overpaying.

Wow. Win 1 game out of the last 5 and all of a sudden we have to go through all the playoff scenarios. Meh.

Wake me up when we win more than 1 in a row.

Love it RB! C'mon peeps! You gotta give some to get some!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

RB, its a tough road no doubt, and delusional to jump on the bandwagon now, but the alternative is long cold sundays with no football!!!!!

ta, you've made your point, that horse is dead...keep beating it though....

PLAYOFFS?!?! We're talking PLAYOFFS?!?!

I'm with Mr. in the PDX on this one. The Giants (esp. their overrated D) was punished by the Philly. Gimme some lust for mayhem on Little Bro Manning!

- dcsween

p.s. I'm even farther away from the jcabana/te talk about free agency and the draft. We still got us a game to win this weekend!

Nate:

If I were the Jints, I don't know how much I'd relax against the Redskins if the other two remaining teams on my schedule were Buffalo and New England. But if they do want to relax a little, that's okay with me.

As for playing Tampa or Seattle, I was thinking about that the other day. If we were to play Seattle, then good for me, because the game is but an hour's drive away and I'd be able to go. But Qwest is a hard place for visiting teams to play, especially in the playoffs. I was at the game two years ago, and it was louder than heck.

So I'd be willing to take one for the team, so to speak, and be relegated to watching us play on TV at RayJay if it means a better shot at a win.

Especially since Seattle seems to be getting hot again. They looked great against AZ yesterday.

c'mon raleigh joe!!!! You gotta believe!!!!

Its all a sick cosmic joke, I give you that...but so much better than playing out the string....

That will come...next week....

Come on Falcons!!

Look at it this way: Saints are going to lose at least one more, so the Skins essentially control their own destiny with three to play. How many people would not have taken that in August after a 5-11 debacle with a QB with 7 starts under his belt?

EVEN BETTER: if you'd known coming into the season that we would lose Jansen for the year in Week 1, that Randy Thomas would miss about 10 games, and that our best player would literally be murdered about mid season, and we would control our own playoff destiny with 3-to-go, I bet you all would have said it was impossible. Kudos to the coaches and players I say.

LarryBud,

I'm right there with ya. I say we finish 7-9, but I'll still set aside the menu for the finest italian restuarant in GT just in case.

It's a good thing Dallas is the final week, as Romo and TO will probably see limited playing time, eh? Maybe Wade will even throw ol Joe a bone and sit them entirely. You never know. This is definitely doable.

Rather face Romo than Brad Johnson. Try comparing their winning percentages at FedEx.

Good grief, freakzilla, it hadn't even occurred to me that the Skins might be playing in the first weekend of January, just a few hours up the road!

I have been making advance plans for Seattle and maybe SF next season, when the Skins are definitely going to be visiting those fair cities... but this possibility totally escaped me until your post.

(Talk about getting ahead of ourselves! Anyway... back to worrying about the Game In Front of Us, the Jints...)

were all skins fans,

we have split personalities....

Side A: the overly analytical, DC influenced political, naysayer, been hurt before so were gonna act like we don't care...

and

Side B: The crazed lunatic, counting playoff scenarios, depressed feb-july, Monk luvin, pasta belly hatin hoggettes!

Lets let out our inner hog for these three weeks (or 1 week at a time) and just revel in the muck....

When the inevitable soul crushing heart ache comes, we'll lick our wounds, bash each other for believing and talk trades/drafts/firings/fre agents....basically all the stuff we have come to enjoy.....

"Rather face Romo than Brad Johnson."

You saw Romo yesterday, right?

Compare the winning percentages at FedEx. The numbers don't lie.

This makes all of those close "what if" losses (bills, packers, giants, etc..) hurt even more.

And don't think Jeremy Shockey gets a pass this weekend just because he made a good showing of himself as one of Sean's brethren from "the U." I still despise Shockey and hope he gets his clock cleaned on Sunday. (LaRon and London School of Economics, I'm looking at you for help on this one.)

I have said it before but I will say it again PRESSURE Manning! It's the only way.... He folds up like a lawn chair under pressure. That being said we will need to strike early in this one in order to do that... We can only hope that Todd squared will come out strong

OK jspaceman this is killing me.....

I now we know each other, I have gotten your coded messages of "Plumley", "Bart", "Philly"

who are you?!?!?!?!

RickyBobby, I have to say I agree with you (shocker) about the Skins chances of securing the #6 playoff slot.

So yeah...if a miracle occurs and we get in....dinner is on me, Ricky Bobby!!!

cl--

The really first-rate split personality does both, simultaneously, not sequentially.

Think big; this is Redskins Insider, best of the best. We can have it all and have it all at once.

So yeah...if a miracle occurs and we get in....dinner is on me, Ricky Bobby!!!

Posted by: Lisa | December 10, 2007 11:20 AM

Maybe you can sell tickets so that we can all come and watch this playoff?

Complaint of the day:

Watching the Pats game yesterday it dawned on me that they MIGHT (again, MIGHT) not be trying to run up the score on the opposing team. They throw up 30 points because that is the best way they know how to move the chains and control the clock.

Soooo, why in the heck can't we try something like that? 5-7 yard, short, high percentage passes is a whole lot better than sending in the jumbo (79 eligible????) and running 40 gut into the line for 2 yards three straight plays. I understand a dropped pass stops the clock, but that is why you incorporate short, safe passes into your run-out-the-clock strategy.

I don't think I'll ever be able to get over the way we've lost some of these games over the past 4 years.

Lisa,

I imagine you'll curse me 100 more times before the end of the season (maybe 100 next week after the loss to the Giants), but there is the spirit.

cL, I need 24 points from Brees tonight to close the RI league out with 5 straight wins and NOT make the playoffs!

I need all those points because one of Kost's mates had the Clots D against B'more last night. Ugh.

Posted by: Redcoat | December 10, 2007 10:42 AM

*** Fantasy Post ***
Wait a sec...that's my team you're facing Redcoat. 22 points or less from Brees for you, and I win the division. 24 points or more, and I miss the playoffs. I can't get the wildcard. It's almost as crazy as the 'Skins possibilities!

Gibbons

"Compare the winning percentages at FedEx. The numbers don't lie."

No, but considering he's only played at FedEx twice, I'd say that is not a significantly sized sample to draw such a conclusion. Especially, considering his growth this season. I'll take Brad Johnson ten times out of time. Romo is on fire.

RB and Lisa playing nice. Am I on the right blog? LOL

23 months in the joint for Vick. What an a*shole.

"...

Posted by: RickyBobby | December 10, 2007 11:22 AM

RB, you just described Brunell version 2006. There is a big difference between the players and the play calling. Brady & co. were able to pull that off b/c they can figure out (in real time, not "game planning") how to beat a team.

My favorite thing about the Skins' win against the Bears was how the Skins' did a "half time adjustment" ... where the adjustment was to play the second half based on what worked in the first half (admittedly, not too much till the two minute warning), rather than some pre-formulated "game plan." I swear that the second half cratering this season has NOT been b/c the opponents have figured us out at half time ... its b/c we have followed some "game plan" from practice rather than actually adjusting to and sticking with what worked in the first half.

ahhhhhhhh

Gibbons...jspaceman....parkbench....it all makes sense now!!!!!!

I think that if we can somewhat slow down the pass rush of Strahan/Usi, and use a quick 3-step passing attack, we might have some success.

jspaceman72,

I was really just making a joke (although Brad Johnson's rage is a little scary). If memory serves, Romo has only played at FedEx once, and he lost.

Sorry, Mike. My humor detector doesn't always function properly on Monday mornings. Nor does the rest of me, for that matter. Of course, he didn't play in 2005.

GO ATLANTA!!!! GO SKINS!!!

HAIL TO EM!

I BELIEVE!!!

Chris Larry wears hot pink fingernail and toenail polish

(from last thread, apologies)

Off-topic for a sec -

Dorf, are you doing your grad work at JMU?
I was driving thru H'burg with the fam after Thanksgiving, and we were listening to JMU vs App St - and just as we're driving through campus, and I'm thinking we're gonna pull off the upset...game over. 2+ weeks later and I'm still disappointed. I hope Delaware beats the pants off App St in the championship.

Back to our regularly scheduled Redskins chat...

I know this has probably been hashed out already, but what happens if we run the table with Collins at the helm, make it to the playoffs, and win the wild-card round with Collins(!), regardless of what happens next? Is it the start of another QB controversy for the Skins? It's been a while since we've had one around here...

Also, who would have more success as HC of the Skins, should Gibbs retire again - Saunders, Grilliams, or an outside candidate?

Re: this week's game @ the Jints - I say it's even money. I watched the first half of the Jints-Iggles game this weekend, and neither team looked that good after the Eagles' opening drive. The Giants' O-line looks like it was cut from the same block of Swiss cheese as ours. Eli did not play well for most of the game, and if not for Akers missing that kick (HAHAHA! I'm not a fan of Akers), the Giants could easily have lost in overtime. The only reason they're at 9-4 and we're at 6-7 is that they won their close games and we lost ours. Wins at GB, Buffalo, and Tampa would tie us with the Giants and practically lock us for the wild-card spot. I know, nothing new being said there. But that does bring me back to my Collins question above (assuming his game on Thursday was not a fluke) - if he proves himself capable of sealing the deal in close games, or making more TDs than INTs per game, do we have a brand-new QB controversy in DC?

I would think that it does.... If we not only win with Collins but play well absolutely. Especially with Gibbs 2.0 in it's last year.
1. We know Gibbs prefers a veteran (Brunell overstaying si welcome for half a season). 2. Remember this the TODD is Saunders boy and knows the offense. 3. There is no question JC is the future of the skins (we hope) but going back to my first point Gibbs is going to want to finish out this part of his legacy strong (if possible). Really if the TODD comes in and manages this offense and we WIN why take him out Campbell is young and will get his chance.

jm220- The Taylor towel is on the way to you...

Actually, liberalmike, the top two teams in the AFC are 24-2 combined, as is the top two teams in the NFC 24-2. Indy beats the pats in that game, they all have 12-1 records.

So really, it is even in my mind, and it scares me to think but the girls could win it all this year.

Soooo, why in the heck can't we try something like that? 5-7 yard, short, high percentage passes is a whole lot better than sending in the jumbo (79 eligible????) and running 40 gut into the line for 2 yards three straight plays. I understand a dropped pass stops the clock, but that is why you incorporate short, safe passes into your run-out-the-clock strategy.

I don't think I'll ever be able to get over the way we've lost some of these games over the past 4 years.

Posted by: RickyBobby | December 10, 2007 11:22 AM

It's personnel as well I believe. The skins don't have someone like Randy Moss(especially combined with Stallworth) that scares the bejeebus out of the secondary and leaves the underneath stuff open all the time.

Have to agree with Wise's(?) column that it's do-or-die time now for Saunders and his vaunted 750-pg playbook since he's got his guy at QB now.

And, can we please refer to this era of Redskins fubball -- however long it lasts -- as Toddball? That would make me happy.

My bad 4-12, I forgot that team was you. I'm regretting that Vinatieri miss against San Diego even more now, if he makes that kick I'm 7-6 and wanting 24 points out of Brees to win our division!

Good luck later, but I think you end up out of the running for the post-season, like me. :)

In case you were not aware the TODD has his own blog here is a small excerpt from it;

I am now undefeated as a starting QB since 1997. The 144.6 QB rating that I'm sporting this season is second only to my legendary 156.9 rating in 2002. And most importantly, the interception streak is still alive at ten years. You saw me throw 54 yard bombs to Clinton, exhibit deft touch to Betts and make Yoder look like Cooley. I don't want to book my ticket for Hawaii just yet, but let's just say that my travel agent should be hearing from me sometime soon.

Ok, well I gotta get back to partying. No practice for TC since I've had Papa Al's playbook memorized for a good seven years.

Take Care and you'll be hearing from me early next week.

Cindy,

If opposites attract, the this will be a collision and the wedding will be late winter, not July. And, the Redskins have to roll off three wins.

Toddball sounds good. Let's see it in the print edition, first.

Cindy, I have been waiting for an opportunity to refer to this part of the season as "Wicked ReTodded." Thanks for providing that opportunity.

Also, a belated Happy Toddukah, and an early Merry Toddsmas, and a very early Happy New Todd to you all.

Watched the Gints/Eagles game just to torture myself and concluded

the Gints O isn't that good and can easily be stopped

the Gints D is pretty damn impressive, especially if you can't keep their D Line from pressuring the QB

If I'm a Skins fan, I'm hoping Crazy Al is looking at a 65/35 pass to run ratio with a lot of slants and looks to Cooley to exploit the Gints D's limited coverage skills.

Adam

Nate, And next April 15? Aren't are Todds due?

Okay ladies and gents, time for a dose of reality here. The Redskins are NOT going to make the playoffs.

I don't see them beating the Giants in the Meadowlands, and I certainly don't see them beating the Vikings and their two-headed monster running attack with Adrian Peterson and Chester Taylor.

And even by some miracle the Skins beat the Giants and Vikings, the ultimate irony in all of this is that Redskins fans will need to resort to cheering for (you guessed it) the Cowboys. If for whatever reason Dallas loses to Philadelphia or Carolina, they will play all of their starters in Week 17 to avoid losing the home field advantage throughout the playoffs to the Packers, who have a much easier schedule.

Wow, thanks, owiz! Appreciate that dose of reality! Glad I can now embrace a loser mentality this week! What a relief!

Seriously, owiz, behind all that doom and gloom aren't you harboring at least the teeniest, tiniest, but of HOPE?

Now is not the time for despair! This is our team, buddy! Ya gotta BELIEVE! Come on, man!

HAIL!

Nate.... Play nicely now.

We kid because... ...well, we're kidders, or something.

Okay ladies and gents, time for a dose of reality here

This blog doesn't deal in doses of reality. It deals in angst, strife and name-calling mixed with liberal doses of fanaticism and Kool-Aid drinking.

Reality is not welcome on a 6-7 team, thank you very much.

PS. I have no plans to be photographed in Phoenix

Hail!

owiz,

You saying that the big night out with Lisa and Ricky Bobby isn't happening? Take that somewhere else. We're not buying your so called "reality." We do romance and fantasy on Mondays. Reality's for Sunday after the game. Or Mondays after a Sunday loss.

And rooting for the Cowboys? You bet. Started yesterday and I'm for them all the way to the Super Bowl if they can stick a fork in the Patriots.

I dont want a but of hope.

Nate- Happy very belated new baby!

Redcoat- Here's to a Cleo Lemonesque performance from Brees tonight.

I know, I know, Redcoat, but after this grueling season, all the modest highs and unfathomable lows... looking back at the summer, to be playing meaningful games in the middle of December is all I have realistically been hoping for... and that's where we are!

Jason La Canfora is clearly irked by the fact that the Redskins are in the playoff hunt. I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!

Cindy,

I can't believe the NFL moved the game against Minny. Maybe they think we have a shot in NY this weekend?

Thanks, Talent. You're totally right.
Let us not forget Todd Gack from "Seinfeld."

TheCindy,

Is this true? Don't see it on NFL.com. The league relaizes the importance of this match up.

Maybe its just me, but it felt like Jason enjoyed writing this post. There was a spirit up here I haven't felt since the offseason (after Jasno's 2 month hiatus).

Thanks for the maybe/what if/start praying now assessment!

Hail and Abide!

Of course, the Toddskins have a chance against the Gints. The Toddskins always do well after their bye, do they not? And this is practically a bye week....ergo, they will win this game.

Is it true????? Straub, have I EVER, that you know of, misled Blognation???? I have it on an official email from the NF of L. It's from Jared Cooper, even.

Okay ladies and gents, time for a dose of reality here. The Redskins are NOT going to make the playoffs.

Posted by: owiz | December 10, 2007 12:45 PM

Careful, owiz. You don't want to be around here in three weeks hearing us say we Todd you so.

Does that mean back-to-back Sunday Night Football games for the Redskins?

Is there a combination of skins losing + somebody else winning that makes the skins-vikes game irrelevant? That may be the NBC flexi-schedule calculation....

And, furthermore, Dolphins-Patriots moves to 4:15 and Bucs-Niners to 4:05 that day.

Sunday Night Toddball.

skins losing to Gints, I mean.

Jared Cooper, is he the Subway guy?

That is correct, Mugamuck. The next two Sundays are at 8:15.

Hey, how come the Fins have to move? We didn't upset nobody!

They had to move because they are cheekies.

No, Jared Cooper is the NFL guy. Maybe the galleria of jewelry, too, but not Subway.

The Subway guy is called Jared Fleagle. Or Bungle. Something like that anyway.

Are you saying my Fins are cheeky monkeys sams3?

The NFL realizes The TODD is a force to be reckoned with.... there is no stop The TODD and Yoder Boy! Something magical is happening
I can feel it...

Todd Sunday
26/31 for 463 yards and 3 TD'3

Eli throws 3 picks!

No, cheekies as in butt cheeks.

aka, cheekums

How could we forget this todd

Three prime timer games in a row!!! Thursday night, Sunday night, Sunday night! For this team!!! This bodes well, somehow!!! I can't stop using exclamation marks!!!

Man i hope I get that Todd Collins Jersey for christmas!

I saw BHT&TM at Wolf Trap supporting Squeeze back in the Summer SAK2, they were really good!

sams3, sadly I couldn't agree more, although butt cheeks do actually have a purpose...

I wish I was up in the PDX!

***FP***

4-12. I'm still trying to figure out what Jasno wrote above...but Kost beat me early in the season, so?

***end FP***

beep-beep.
we wanted a headline on the schedule change, so i had to post a new entry....

I am conflicted. While I would like to see the team make the playoffs, what benefit would that be? Let's face it, the Redskins would lose no matter which team they play. So if they make the playoffs and lose, they sacrifice a higher draft choice (which they should trade to get additional draft picks). This team needs to build depth. This quick-fix approach has put the team in a position of vulnerability with injuries(see 2007 season). To jcabana: Gibbs as a personnel man leaves much to be desired. This team has given draft picks away like candy. Let me ask you a question: Tony Romo or Jason Campbell? I would take Romo any day of the week.

JLC loves Kornheiser.

This explains sooooo much!

I'd say he is the worst announcer ever but a Byrant Gumbel is the king in that castle!

Wow...I wonder what speech Ole' Joe can come up with to get the team to run the table? I think he may have used it up two years ago...and oh' yeah, he used the old "swingin' soul" line already.

Maybe he should play a clip of Herm "you play to win the game" Edwards.

Hail!!!

Keep in mind that we actually have a realistic chance to shutting the evil Giants out of the post-season. They have yet to take their turn in the woodshed with the Pats (last game) and I doubt that NE takes the day off with perfection on the line (and I doubt if they would anyway). Buffalo is looking less like a push-over (in BUF wk #16). We beat NYG and win out then we would tie them in overall, conf and divisional records. We go based on "Strength of win" because we beat MIN and ARI and they beat SF and ATL. --Cookie

Despite the fact that ANY playoff talk is horrible yet pleasurable torture -- and the sentiment to only raise an eyebrow if they beat NY -- anything can happen in the post-season with the craptastic teams in the NFC (including DALLAS - ripe for a karmic upset since the Patriots probably are insulated from it).

Duly noted, Freakzilla. : D

Careful, owiz. You don't want to be around here in three weeks hearing us say we Todd you so.

Beautious. Thanks for doing the mathes for me on this one, even if you are being a touch facetious (can't quite tell).

Now if I could only pull the game in with the rabbit ears... for some reason my local ABC affiliate ain't running MNF anymore.
