Now there's some wishful thinking...Pats maybe, but the Cowboys?  Don't think so, Dallas is good, but not nearly that good.  3-peating to the SB is a very difficult thing to do and the only team that stands out in my mind that managed to accomplish that feat was Buffalo who did 4 yrs in a row, but we all know the results of those SB's.

You gotta be kiddin' me!?!  Miami actually won a game!?  Rats......guess you know who I picked....blasted Ravens....

I bet that Browns/Bills game was a fun one to watch, depending on what team you support, but these 'snow' games are always fun to watch.  It always brings to mind the old Paul Simon song 'Slip Sliding Away' from some 30 years ago

And what can we say about Favre that hasn't already been said this season?  Holds just about every QB record both good and bad and has taken a team with no chance logically to make the playoffs to a 12-2 start and a 1st round bye.   Truly impressive to say the least.

Since I forgot to post my picks this week, I'll just go with my pick for the MNF game tomorrow night.  Vikings are gonna tear up the field with their running game and decimate Chicago's vaulted defense.

OMFG!!! MIAMI WON?!? I had finally given up on picking htem to win games...and they finally get it...well whatev..bad sign for the Patriots!

[patriots_1228 51]

well, there are only two teams in the NFC that are capable of winning a super bowl IMO, the cowboys, and the packers, and the packers can only get so much more outta farve, while the cowboys look poised for 3-4 great years.

I agree with ya on that, except for only getting so much more outta Favre, he's not your usual QB and I say he's got at least 3 years left him if he chooses to, but in all likelihood, he'll retire after the season.

And whaddya know?  Philly just beat Dallas.  Now the pressure is on Dallas to win their final 2 to keep home field.....or they'll have to come up to GB play on the frozen tundra, and it's been darn cold there the past few weeks......

[GreekMan 246]

CHARGERS WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

51-14 oh yeah!

I think my hated to Norv Turner is done!

we are AFC West Division champs

Hey Patriots, we can beat you in the playoffs......

EDIT:

Miami: congrads

Green Bay: Congrads again

Dallas: OUCH! a loss agaist Philly

NO: yay!

NE: 14-0 nice

[blade2k5 1,523]

Yeah, I guess SD put the hurt on and at the same time sliced and diced the biteless Lions into appetizers. That's a game I would have thoroughly enjoyed watching as blow-outs are always fun to watch.

[Easy Bakes 253]

The force  was not with Tony-wan Romo today.

The boys looked pathetic.

They need to get thier act together these next 2 games.

How bout them Chargers?

LT will at least get me some Fantasy money.

Dolphins win pats Win to set up  a not so interesting game next week at New England

Browns win 8-0 Were they playing Baseball?

[OffTopic 3]

Yay! The chargers OWNED the Lions. Big surprise today, Romo did horrible. Ouch. That's gonna hurt my fantasy team. Finally the Dolphins win, and the Patriots inch closer to a perfect season.

It was a lot of fun - at least from the comfort of my own home. Of course, I am sure Browns fans who were there were not complaining. That game was one of those "good old good ones" - and a strange score to top it off.

The Ravens have a remarkably bad team - and getting beat by not only the Dolphins tops that off, but they were beat by the Bengals, one of the worst all-around teams in the NFL. Gotta feel that there are some serious changes coming to that organization soon.

Meanwhile, the Bengals guaranteed another losing season with the loss to San Fran last night. Not a real surprise - the entire team seems to could care less. Amazing that, since Mike Brown took over the leadership in 1991, they have had a total of 1 winning seasons. One stinking winning season. No matter who is the coach, who is the quarterback, who is on defense and who is on offense - when a team consistently loses like that year after year (total record, 92-172), the fault lies on the shoulders of one person.

[football_fever 6]

wow, my picks were horrible this week. 6 correct? I think I need to become a soccer fan...

[NMUSpidey 3,956]

I saw highlights on NFL.com of the Browns-Bills game. That was totally awesome. We used to play football in the snow back in high school. It's always more fun in crappy weather.

Here's hoping I get to watch some more awesome Adrian Peterson highlights as he leads my Vikings to another big win!

[patriots_1228 51]

greekman-no chance. You pick off peyton manning six times and still only win by less than a touchdown.

We blow out dallas and pittsburg.

You blow out Detriot?

[tahill79 13]

The Browns game was great to watch. I knew my Brownies were gonna have a good season but i never thought id see them at 9-5. Even tho the score was only 8-0 they dominated the bills except for that last drive. Hey if anybody didnt notice, but the whole offense went sleeveless in this game to show the Bills how tough they  were. DAMN I LOVE THIS TEAM!!!!

And thanx to the 49ers, Dolphins and Jaguars.

[OffTopic 3]

football_fever: No! Don't go to the "other" football! No offence to anybody, but that crap burns my eyes!

tahill79: I'm not so happy seeing my team at 9-5, not after last year...

[tahill79 13]

OffTopic-- yeah i cant believe the chargers are only 9-5 after a 14-2 season but hey if the season ended 2day it would be the browns and the chargers

[patriots_1228 51]

their 9-5 because phillip rivers has regressed, allowing the other team to focus on LT. Chargers havnt had a good history drafting top qbs (Ryan leaf, COUGH)

[bbfan02 23]

Jeremy Shockey's out with a broken leg. He's done for the year.

[GreekMan 246]

9-5 is great when you have a first year coach! I mean is not that superb but hey we are in the playoffs!

first playoff game with the chargers is against the browns

Chargers will beat them right?

unless your on the other side of the blowout

[patriots_1228 51]

Greekman-well, i suppose, but I know nothing about the browns, cept they have an explosive offense and a mediocre to crappy defense. However, the same thing goes for the chargers, cept a stronger D, so I would expect a shootout with the chargers winning by maybe 7

[OffTopic 3]

I wouldn't be surprised if the Chargers won, but all of their stats are downgraded a bit. But still, with a weak defense, they can score many points. They scored 51 points against the Detroit Lions.

[patriots_1228 51]

Pro Bowl day-

the pats have 3-4 locks

Tom Brady

Randy Moss

Vince Wilfork

Mike Vrabel

(last two may not get in due to fan voting, but they deserve it)

and a couple other guys who may or may not get in, but I could make a case for

-whole o-line

-welker

-asuante samuel

-ellis hobbs/larry izzo for special teams

[football_fever 6]

realistically welker would be the one out of those last 4 to go...I'd actually take him over Wilfork.

Oh, and Pats are still 13-0 in your sig...

Anyone catch that Vikings game last night? Ugly! All the highlights were for the Bears, except for Ferguson's 71 yard catch, AD's 1 yard hurdle and his lovely direction change for a score...and yet the Vikes still won...weird. What can you expect when Brian Urlacher has 2 sacks, and interception and a fumble recovery, but the rest of the team does...what...exactly? The Vikings made sooo many mistakes, from the botched handoffs (one a giveaway and another for a TD?) to missing extra points (How?)...they really shouldn't have won. Thanks Bears, for keeping us alive. Next up - Washington. A must win for both teams. It's going to be a good one.

As for the Pro Bowl, Sean Taylor was the first player to be voted in posthumously (first in any sport since Pelle Lindburgh in the 1986 NHL all star game). That's quite an honor. Dallas has 11 players, Pats have 8, and the entire NFC South has none. It goes to show how lame this can be when the Jaguars are 10-4 and don't have a single pro bowler, even with Gerrard having one pick on the year with crappy receivers, and Jones-Drew having one hell of a year. I am happy that Adrian Peterson is going. As a rookie! Damn...imagine where he's going to be in a few years...

[drevilshenchman 4]

Its a great year in Cleveland... back to back National championship games for OSU football, Cavs get to the finals, Indians do fantastic, and (what's this?!) the Browns have won OVER 1/2 of their games and the playoffs is likely.

Wow... I am speechless

[blade2k5 1,523]

Yeah, I watched MNF last night and I agree, it was a piss-poor played game on both sides and even with all those chances early to run up the score on the Vikes...the Bears couldn't get it done...again.  I also found that the 'Jaws' [can't remember his name, but see him on ESPN all the time], commentator was unprofessional when voicing his opinions on how awful the Bears are....He had one snide comment after another directed at the Bears.....Aren't play by play commentators supposed to be non-biased?.....

Anyways, here are my picks for week 16......

PIT @  STL

DAL @ CAR

GB @ CHI

CLE @ CIN

KC @ DET

HOU @ IND

NYG @ BUF

OAK @ JAC

PHI @ NO

ATL @ ARI

TB @ SF

MIA @ NE

BAL @ SEA

NYJ @ TEN

WAS @ MIN

DEN @ SD

[GreekMan 246]

damn I can't watch MNF......

I don't need to anyway because I know who is going to win!

[patriots_1228 51]

drevil-don't think i need to tell you bout the year we've been having

8 pro bowlers-tied for most in franchise history. Cowboys absolutely dominate NFC roster.

fever-you may think welker deserves it more, but welker has just gone four steps, catch, run, fall for 5-7 yards all year. Hes open and making plays because of all the other receivers. Randy, on the other hand, is in double/triple coverage and putting up mind-blowing numbers. Wilfork doesn't get any attention but hes one of the best NT's in the league.

good to see that my taylor tribute idea worked, guess bout 500 other people had the same idea and spread it better

[OffTopic 3]

We shouldn't have a problem with the Broncos, but they are our only major rival in the AFC west. I still think we can win the game, even if it is in Denver.

[drevilshenchman 4]

patriots_1228: To true, to true. Boston is having the best sports year I have ever seen. Cleveland is still searching for a 50+ year championship drought in any sport

[patriots_1228 51]

i feel your pain bro...before 2001, i never thought any of my teams would ever win a championship. Back then, all our teams sucked. Then Bledsoe took of running, got hit, and the rest is history
