I guess you've given up now that Goode is hurt.

Good to see DAL and SF bringing up the rear in the NFC for a change.

Ahh, fuck that "They put their pants on one leg at a time too" polyanna bullshit. I'm a man! I'm 40! I can deal with reality.

Arizona has clinched the division, which means a top 3 seed, given the top NFC East team has 7 losses. They have not clinched a first round bye.

[yetisnowman]

Oh I get it you conceded defeat already.

If the Vikings lose tonight, and then to the Packers next week, Packers will host Seattle.
