Tampa Bay at New Orleans



Arizona could beat the 49ers to finish the season with 11 wins and still miss the playoffs at the expense of mediocre teams such as the A-Rod-less Packers, Bears, Cowboys or Eagles. New Orleans, still with something to play for, would have to fuck up badly to lose to the hapless Bucs.

Detriot has and will finish with the best record in the NFC North in divisional play and they're not gonna win the division.

Logic like these are why I staunchly favor eliminating the division and conference classifications. Traditionalist will cry, but they have got to quit living in the past. Besides, rivalry is dead in this day and age of free agency and the salary cap.

Let the NFL be one huge cluster interglacial league. At season end, let the machine, aka B.C.S Computer, decides the top 14 or 16 teams (yes, I staunchly favor playoffs expansion, as well as a 18-20 games regular season schedule).

Who wouldn't want to see a Packer-Bear Super Bowl? Ok, maybe not this year, but in, say, 2015.

He's out for the rest of this season with a back injury. Romo has a herniated disk in the lumbar region and needs to have surgery.

Kyle Orton is now the man behind center.

Not sure I understand all the possible playoff possibilities. If AZ beats SF and NO loses is AZ in and NO out? Is SF in for sure now and if we win is that who we would play? If SF wins and Seattle loses do we get to play Seattle? If Carolina loses and NO wins do we get Carolina? Is it possible we get to play NO? Is it better to just wait until Sunday night?

It'll do all the work for you. Problem is I don't think the Packers can be the third seed and if that is the case, its San Fran at Lambeau unless they beat the SeaClomids.

Alternative best is New Orleans beating Carolina for the Division, then the Panthers jump ahead of the 49ers for the fifth seed and they come to Lambeau.

I knew they were into drugs, but I didn't realize they were having ovulation problems :).
