BruceW Posted December 12, 2010 Report Share Posted December 12, 2010 Well, so much for the NFL keeping quiet about the actual danger. Now we all know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazzmoose Posted December 12, 2010 Report Share Posted December 12, 2010 A dome in Minnesota is a crime against nature; nature was just getting it's revenge.

Can you imagine Fran Tarkenton or the Purple People Eaters playing in a frigging dome? I don't think the fact it was a dome was the crime. It's that it was an INFLATABLE dome. What the heck? In a seriously snowy part of the country?? Who was the bright guy who came up with that design? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GA Russell Posted December 13, 2010 Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 San Diego beat Kansas City 31-0 today. I didn't know that San Diego had it in them this year to score 31 points, and I thought that KC was supposed to be good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jazzmoose Posted December 13, 2010 Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 I honestly thought KCs running game was all they needed against the Chargers. Oh well, that's why I'm so far behind in the football pool... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free For All Posted December 13, 2010 Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 Anyone see the Jets assistant trip the Miami player? That wasn't very nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul secor Posted December 13, 2010 Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 (edited) Anyone see the Jets assistant trip the Miami player? That wasn't very nice. Haven't seen anything like that since the 1954 Cotton Bowl, when Tommy Lewis, who was on the Alabama bench, tackled SMU's Dickie Moegle as he was racing for a touchdown. (I actually only saw a video of that one, years after it happened.) Alosi should be fined and suspended, if not fired. Looks like this kind of thing is what happens when the Rex Ryan mentality takes over a team. Edited December 13, 2010 by paul secor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Free For All Posted December 14, 2010 Report Share Posted December 14, 2010 (edited) Impressive comeback by the Texans to tie up the game! I thought they were done. Matt Schaub played a great second half. EDIT: Damn, too bad about that last int. I was hoping they'd pull it off.

Tim McG Posted December 15, 2010 Report Share Posted December 15, 2010 Meanwhile... the pathetic 49ers are still in the playoff hunt with a pathetic 5-8 record. Seattle has a 6-7 record and is in the lead. I am amazed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stefan Wood Posted December 15, 2010 Report Share Posted December 15, 2010 49ers are in better shape than my home team, the 'Skins. I can't watch the games anymore -- the Monday night game vs Philly did me in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noj Posted December 15, 2010 Report Share Posted December 15, 2010 My Oakland Raiders are so vastly improved from what I've gotten used to, even the blown lead to Jacksonville doesn't sting all that bad. Plus I'm a big fan of former UCLA Bruin Maurice Jones-Drew, so I'm happy to see him playing so well for the Jags. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn Posted December 15, 2010 Report Share Posted December 15, 2010 If one of the NFC West teams ends up winning the division, with a losing record...I think they should be disqualified and the team with the next best record in the NFC gets their slot. A team with a losing record hosting a playoff game should not happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A team with a losing record hosting a playoff game should not happen. On the surface, I agree with you 100 percent, but when the playoff rules were made in their current status, there were no baaaad divisions. There was not a problem. Then they added Wild Cards and still no real problems except when all the Wild Cards came from the same division. Then the rules stated no Wild Card could play a Division Champ in the same Division in the same round. Now we have this. One suggestion might be made to have that low record Division Champion NOT host the game or any game. The Wild card with the obvious much better record should host the game. It is very very dangerous to have a Division Champ (no matter how bad the division) not get in the playoffs. Why, because then you may get a whole division just tanking games at the end of the season. Edited December 15, 2010 by BruceW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If only they could just play in their own division! If one of the NFC West teams ends up winning the division, with a losing record...I think they should be disqualified and the team with the next best record in the NFC gets their slot. A team with a losing record hosting a playoff game should not happen. Welcome to the evils of expansion, and the greed that eventually turns all pro sports leagues into a joke.
