actually that is a Vince Lombardi quote. I thought it was famous
Well it turns out the ESPN and Yahoo! playoff machines each have the tie game option. Still couldn't find the apparently anomalous set of circumstances that NFL.com has where GB and DAL win in Week 16 doesn't clinch for GB.
At 11-5 (only way to win in Wk 16 and not win division), they have the tie break over Dallas (conf) and Eagles (head to head). Even if you make Eagles the Division winner, can't get Dallas over the Packers for WC.
Couldn't create a tie game that helped.
Packers.com agrees with Tank and ESPN:

With a Green Bay win, the Packers would need either the Eagles (9-5) to lose or the Cowboys (10-4) to win to be assured of getting in. Just one of those other games would need to go Green Bay’s way, but not both.
We want Cowboys to lose so Packers have homefield over them in playoffs. That's the royal "we"
The Roughing the passer rule has to be reviewed in the off season.
Washington got a call on a bang bang play. RGIII pass's and is hit softly within a second. The defender actually relaxed the hit closing and quickly opening his arms on the hit. It was a soft hit. RGII felt little impact.
The Official is right there ! Roughing the passer is called.
The call gives Washington new life and they go on to score a TD to go out in front by 3 Points in the 3rd Qtr.
Refferfuckin' Refereeing. What the 'H' is this football or 'Pansy ball'?
I really wonder sometimes if the fix isn't in. The officials get a nice check from Vegas?
There is no way that Washington should win this game without the Officials helping.
The score is now 17-14 and the Eagles are lining up another short FG. Pokey missed a chip shot earlier a 34 Yarder.
Holy mackeral he miss's it again.
Last Play - 02:28 Q3
C.Parkey 46 yard field goal is No Good, Wide Right, Center-J.Dorenbos, Holder-D.Jones.
Cody Parkey came into this game 29 of 31 and he miss's two so far today.
As I'm writing this the Redskins scored again after another long pass to DeSean Jackson who's up to 4 receptions and 126 yards on his day so far.
Eagles just tied the Redskins with 6:17 left in 4th qtr.
Philadelphia is about to get beat.
another roughing the QB call against iggles.
Thank you...Dirty Sanchez.
Redskins beat the Eagles 27-24.
WOW !
The Eagles lose three consecutive games.
SCORE Skins 27 - Eagles 24
The Eagles had 13 Penalties. They missed two FG's that were very makeable.
What is with the networks cutting to commercial before the replay on a pick or fumble. To allow us to see the play before any review.
What's up with that?
A wild game in San Fran tonight.
With about 5 minutes remaining it's 49ers 35 - Chargers 28.
The 49ers are 14 yards rushing away ...... from a franchise record for yards rushing in a game.
Gore has 158 yards and Kaepernick has 131 (add another 26 yards) for a total of 315.
The Chargers are trying hard to recover now....2 minutes remain. The ball is on the San Fran 45 2nd and 10.
Holy crap the San Diego Chargers have tied it up with 29 sec's left in regulation time.
They had trailed 21 - 0.
The 49ers have the ball with 26 sec's left and need about 35 yards for a FG shot.
16 seconds left and the ball is on the San Fran 34.
Kaepernick runs to the San Diego 46 and 16 seconds left.
Here comes Phil Dawson for a 60 yard FG...........wide right.
END ON REGULATION.
