Not even a new magic religion could save football in Denver!

Go Orton!

[mmmdk]

Tebow fumble in red zone!

[pbmax]

Tampa Bay is mailing it in.

I saw! Good grief! :shock: Not all young teams have greatness in them!

[gbgary]

[pbmax]

Offense is still trying. Defense has packed it in.

[mmmdk]

Ugly Bowl in Denver! I'm switching to Glendale, AZ!

[MJZiggy]

Ravens are going to lose this stupid game, aren't they???

[mmmdk]

Skelton > Tebow

[mmmdk]

Ravens are going to lose this stupid game, aren't they???

Maybe! You got money on the game?

[MJZiggy]

Maybe! You got money on the game?

I don't have money on the game, but I do have a few points on it in pick 'em.

[mission]

Hoping Tebow gets Ortoned.

[MJZiggy]

Vonta Leach getting props in Baltimore. Lil Ray Rice churns out a LONG TD on Leach's block.

[MadtownPacker]

Hoping Tebow gets Ortoned.
Me too but only so I can see raidahs fans acting like fools the whole week.

[mmmdk]

I don't have money on the game, but I do have a few points on it in pick 'em.

Ah, forgot!

[Tarlam!]

Man, Atlanta is playing to win. They will be heading down to NO with a big chip on their shoulders.

[mmmdk]

Tebowing...I'm gonna be sick.

[easy cheesy]

HOLY SHIT! The Raiders are "mounting" a "comeback".... ***launch the Bow Chicka Wow Wow music***

[easy cheesy]

Or not.... Charger touchdown... :) ***bringing turntable to an abrubt halt***

[mmmdk]

Damn you Raiders!

[easy cheesy]

Chargers intercept.... hmmmmmm.....

[easy cheesy]

OK... so... with an official Denver loss... thanks to "Tebags" interception..... it all rests with Oakland in the AFC West..... ***standby to cue music***

[easy cheesy]

That's all she wrote on this one.... ***spinning vinyl***

Now... on to the Cowboys Vs. Giants....

[MJZiggy]

Overtime in AZ.

[jmbarnes101]

At home against division rivals both the Raiders and Broncos looked pathetic. The Chargers, the best team in the West, struggled for 1/2 a season and will cost their coach his job, rightfully so.

[Kiwon]

Freudian Slip?

Deion Sanders on the NFL Network, “The Dallas Cowboys defense, especially on the back end, has been erotic.”

Of course he meant, “erratic” but it was funny nonetheless. Maybe he’s missing the locker room.

I don't know if it's a Freudian slip as much as Sanders being an idiot who's trying to sound intelligent.

[gbgary]

great spot the refs just gave ny. go ny!

[easy cheesy]

A bit like when Mike Tyson tried to use the word "peripatetic" in a sentence and it came out sounding like "pair of potatoes" "Peripatetic" was a very ambitious multi-syllabic word for Mr. Tyson to attempt and I think he read his "script" incorrectly.

[gbgary]

cruuuuuuuuuz!

[easy cheesy]

great spot the refs just gave ny. go ny!

.... and here we go! TD G-Men! I don't care how the playoff situations stack up and the resulting ramifications of who meets who....etc. etc..... I just can not pull for those Cowboys.

[Tarlam!]

It's not so much that I want the 'boys to win as much as I want the G-Men to lose.

[mmmdk]

.... and here we go! TD G-Men! I don't care how the playoff situations stack up and the resulting ramifications of who meets who....etc. etc..... I just can not pull for those Cowboys.

I hear ya but, as I noted during NY game, G-Men can beat Packers...Cowboys can't! It's a tough one!

[pbmax]

I'm rooting for Cowboys as G-Men are tougher. But sending the Lions to the Saints might be a blessing in disguise. I don't think the Lions can beat the Packers easily. But given a second shot at the Saints, it might be interesting. They nearly got it back in the first game.

[easy cheesy]

Touchdown Big Blue.... hell of a lot of game to play though Tarlam! so you may get your wish yet! :) BTW- I left you a Martini in the food thread... CHEERS! ***clink***

[easy cheesy]

Rut Roh... Romo fall down go boom... :)

[easy cheesy]

I hear ya but, as I noted during NY game, G-Men can beat Packers...Cowboys can't! It's a tough one!

Well, it may have been close, but the G-Men didn't manage to do it at their last meeting with the Packers. :) I am consumed by my contempt of all things belonging to JJ but I hear what you're singin' too! :)

[mmmdk]

G-Men 21 Cowgirls 0

Well, it looks like the Packers will play the winner of DET-NYG. :(

NYG is a cold weather team that has already beaten a Packer team at Lambeau in January. Detroit is a team that lost to the Packers Varsity team today, but there's an old saying: It's hard to beat a team 3 times in a season.

Remember sweeping the Vikings 34-31 in both regular season gmaes in 2004 only to lose in the WC round? The infamous Moss-mooning? Yeah, see. this is why I worry.

The Packers have given Detroit based Cheeseheads reasons to gloat today, but should they knock over the NYG next week, I will not be a happy bunny. If NYG win, I will not be a happy bunny either.

So for two weeks, I will be an unhappy bunny - starting.......................................... ..............NOW!

[mmmdk]

So it's either Giants, Falcons or Lions for Packers in 2 weeks! I think NFC is better than AFC this season. Very tough playoff games ahead for the Pack!

[mmmdk]

Detroit is going to New Orleans - 100% for sure!

[MJZiggy]

Do you REALLY think Detroit is going to beat New Orleans IN NEW ORLEANS??? I believe Dal/NYG goes through Atlanta...

[gbgary]

twice in this dal/ny game eli has had a free play, due to a dal penalty, and he's not gone deep.

now they fail on 4th and 1 keeping dal in the game. geesh.

[mmmdk]

It's Detroit at New Orleans & Atlanta at either NY or Dallas in wild card weekend. Packers can't face NO untill the NFC Champ game 'cos Packers will meet lowest seeded wild card winner in the divisional round.

[pbmax]

I believe Dal/NYG goes through Atlanta...

Other way around, Atlanta is the Wild Card. Tonights winner wins the NFC Least.

[gbgary]

dal returns the favor and fails at 4th and 1 at the 9. lol

[Tarlam!]

Do you REALLY think Detroit is going to beat New Orleans IN NEW ORLEANS??? I believe Dal/NYG goes through Atlanta...

No.

You are right. Discount the post after the word "Well,"

[mmmdk]

Cruz...again! What a playmaker.

[Tarlam!]

Cruz...again! What a playmaker. Yeah, I see it. Makes my blood freeze when I see the way Manning is playing, too.

[mmmdk]

Giants up 24 - 14 versus Cowboys!

[mmmdk]

Yeah, I see it. Makes my blood freeze when I see the way Manning is playing, too.

I've said it numerous times; G-Men can beat the Packers!

[Tarlam!]

I've said it numerous times; G-Men can beat the Packers!

I think many agree with you, if not all.

[gbgary]

cruz has saved their asses. manning has been dicey, their play calling has been questionable, their d has been pretty good though.

[mmmdk]

Man, it looks like Packers first playoff game is on saturday the 14th and I can't watch it live! DAMN!!!

[gbgary]

I've said it numerous times; G-Men can beat the Packers!

they'd have to play a perfect game and they're not capable of it. give me the Pack everytime the way the two teams are set today.

[pbmax]

Man, it looks like Packers first playoff game is on saturday the 14th and I can't watch it live! DAMN!!!

Nope, its Sunday late game. 4:30 PM I think.

EDIT: 3:30 Central

[mmmdk]

Nope, its Sunday late game. 4:30 PM I think.

You sure? 'Cos saturday 14th is no go me and only datee I'll miss during playoffs!

[mmmdk]

Hope you're right...or you'll hear from me! :lol: No worries, just kiddin'. :mrgreen:

[gbgary]

that should do for me and the office pick'em. woo hoo!

[mmmdk]

Game over! Sorry but G-Men got weapons on both sides of the ball. Hope Falcons at NY is a black'n'blue game!

[mmmdk]

The Packers' NFC Divisional playoff game will be played at 3:30 p.m. CT on Sunday, Jan. 15, at Lambeau Field

AWESOME! :cow:

[gbgary]

dez bryant...bust?

[Tarlam!]

AWESOME! :cow:

Prime Time. I hope the weather is mild if they meet New York. There is no Frozen Tundra advantage against that team. If they are to meet the Flacons "Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!"

[pbmax]

You sure? 'Cos saturday 14th is no go me and only datee I'll miss during playoffs!

Absolutely. Its been on the NBC broadcast and on Twitter. NFC CHampionship game is 5:30 on the following Sunday, participants to be determined of course. :)

[mmmdk]

Thanx & goodnight from DK! :smile:

[Tarlam!]

Shoot, didn't the Packers play last season's PO games? This is bad.

[gbgary]

Thanx & goodnight from DK! :smile:

good morning to you. it's like 4:30ish there isn't it?

[Tarlam!]

good morning to you. it's like 4:30ish there isn't it?

It's 5;40

[gbgary]

It's 5;40

got to thinkin it might be later. that's a dedicated fan for ya.

[MJZiggy]

You sure? 'Cos saturday 14th is no go me and only datee I'll miss during playoffs!

Packers posted it and facebooked it. Sunday late game at Lambeau.

[Tarlam!]

got to thinkin it might be later. that's a dedicated fan for ya.

The 1pm games start at 7pm for us. the 2:15pm games start at 10:15pm and the SB kickoff is at 2am for us. Yes, we're mad, but dedicated.

[Tarlam!]

How bad is it for you if your name is Carson Palmer? Never in the tornament with your old team. Retire publicly, cause you've lost belief. Get traded at the last minute. Contend needing only 1 W for your first playoff sighting. You lose and on top of that, your old team, the team you said would never make it, they get in.

[Freak Out]

He did play in one playoff game until his knee was taken out....against the Steelers?

[Tarlam!]

Yeah, forgot about that one, von Oelhoffen. In fact, he's seen playoff action twice. Also in 2009 against the Jets. Both one and done affairs. Geez, I've been off target a few times thiese past few days.

[mmmdk]

good morning to you. it's like 4:30ish there isn't it?

Yes it was late! Went to bed 5:45am I think. It helps that I'm used to odd working hours at Aarhus University Hospital and hence can sleep on a rock.

[sheepshead]

The Cowboys (Jerry Jones) and the Ryan Brothers watching the playoffs from their respective couches is awesome!

:D me too (our company is closed today for new years). it's our slow time of the year. heating & a/c in dallas is slow with a mild week ahead of us in the 60s.

Nice! We've got a warm winter in DK with temp in high 40s. So no snow but that's normal (except for last 2 winters), snow is for Norway & Sweden.

My fantasy team would disagree with Bryant having 9 TDs this season.

[gbgary]

i just threw that out there considering the hype and expectations. for a third (or 4th) round pick or later...good, for a first rounder...not so much. only his second year though. he had a pretty good year this year...numbers wise.
