Fun end to a fun game, although it's a pity the last second touchdown got taken away.
....And Jacksonville lost as well. So much for my upset picks of the week. :wall:Quote:

"I didn't know that," said McNabb, who played a leading role in keeping it tied. "I've never been part of a tie. I never even knew it was in the rule book. I was looking forward to getting the opportunity to get out there and try to drive to win the game. But unfortunately with the rules, we settled with a tie."

Chad Ocho Cinco on overtime: "It feels like a loss. I didn’t know, I thought you went until someone got a field goal or something. This is my first time being in this and I’ve been playing Madden for this, I haven’t even ended on Madden like that. I asked Coach Lewis if he’d ever been in this situation before. He said yes."
*********
:laugh4:
I just wonder what the :daisy: they think the OT clock is for then.
Eh, well, playoff games go into a 2nd overtime right? Or as many as needed. Maybe not on madden.
Yes, playoffs go for as long as they have to. Usually the team that wins the toss drives down and gets the field goal for the win. But that would require offensive competence, something which was apparently lacking in that game. I'm just happy I wasn't forced to see that game, sounded brutal.Quote:

Last minute field goals have been killing me this week...
Hrm. I wonder how they decided who won that last week? Sasaki-San and I both got 12 right and both picked the total score of the MNF game to be 52. :thinking2:
Whoever makes their picks before the other determines the tie-breaker I believe.Quote:

:egypt:
What happened in Philly? I heard McNabb got benched, but not why.
He got intercepted a couple times. Then his replacement promptly threw a 107 yard interception return for td. So who knows what they were thinking.
The eagles are looking pretty terrible.
Favre cutting up the titans defense was pretty sweet though. I guess their injuries have taken a toll there.
Fair catch free kick was pretty funny.
Luckily, I was working and didn't catch the game, but after a phone call with my hopping-mad dad it seems like Reid panicked and took McNabb out too early. It was 10-7 at the half, 36-7 at the end of the game. You do the math.
I'm actually kind of glad this is happening to the Eagles, in a way. Reid and his entire crew have been in there for too long and the franchise has been stagnating ever since the Super Bowl loss. If we can get the team to totally implode then maybe we'll finally get some new blood starting next year.
Let's go Saints! :smoking:
Well, at least the Raiders got to avenge a defeat from one hated rival this year. I wouldn't say it was an awe inspiring performance, but I felt like the offense was pared down enough to let this bunch of unmotivated bums wrap their heads around it, which finally got some of the native talent on this team to show up. I still maintain that we have a substantially more talented team than Denver. Maybe this victory can be something to build on for next year...
...and maybe it'll just deny us the draft pick we deserved. It's hard to keep the faith right now. I didn't want to give up on this season, but if they start to get it together only after I've officially done so it'll be a bit like twisting the knife.
The best thing about this game was the patience of the Raider's defense. They sat back, played with discipline, and pretty much kept everything in front of them. The offensive line had their heads in the game too.
The Indy game was interesting too. I still don't have confidence that they'll make the playoffs, but I had them losing this game by a good margin (And with the phantom PI call they should've at least had OT) so it's starting to look like I'll have to eat my words again.

Kurki has missed two weeks and Hosa one. So take that into account
Don't forget Martok also missed a week as well. He very likely would be tied with us, or ahead if he hadn't missed it.
I had 10 wins that week, so I'd at least be close. Don't know if I'd actually be tied or leading, though.Quote:

With the way things have gone this season, I dare not venture a guess.
With all the upsets and/or surprisingly close games, with so many teams doing either much better or worse than expected....I'm not even comfortable saying who will get into the playoffs, much less the Super Bowl. Yes, the Giants and Titans are both pretty much shoo-ins to make the post-season, but I'm not ready to make any predictions as to who else will be there with them. And I'm definitely not prepared to say whether New York and Tennessee will make it all the way to the big game.
Giants in the NFC. Nobody else is remotely close.
AFC is a lot tighter, but I think the Colts are going to surprise everybody and make a run as a wild card team, leading to a *gulp* Peyton-Eli Super Bowl.
Do I live in an alternate reality or did Aikman just say, regarding some boy band,
"That was a hard hand smack. You have to be 18 years old to touch the gobbler."
...on national television? I can't be the only person who laughed. My four year old thought I'd lost my mind.
:egypt:
:laugh4::laugh4::laugh4:I missed that game but maybe I'll catch that replay on Sports Center. If they don't bleep it out...Quote:

Big Ser takes an early lead for the week by predicting all 3 winners on Friday and being the only one to pick Philly. Good job! :2thumbsup:
I'll be at Lambeau tomorrow. :grin:

Admit it, Martok. The man is growing on you. Resistance is futile. ~D
It actually wasn't too cold until the end when it started to snow. The Packer's punter and coverage units were absolutely terrible. The Panthers kept starting near midfield.:wall:Quote:

Watched the bengals game on an hdtv yesterday. They looked twice as bad :juggle:
I just want to say this.
After Sunday's game I just couldn't hold it in any more.
I hate the Saints. Hate them. Hate them hate them hate them.
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!
Every year it's like this. My whole life has been spent watching them fizzle out and make a joke of themselves.
Why why why why!!!!
Anyway,
:scorpio::scorpio:Go Black and Gold!!!!!:scorpio::scorpio:
Next week is a home game. Falcons are going down.
maybe.
They couldn't have possibly looked as bad as the Bills losing at home, scoring a whole 3 points, against that juggernaut 49'er team. Next week the home game, in Toronto~:rolleyes:, against the Dolphins.Quote:

Now we'll see if Minnesota can stitch together a 3-game winning streak. That shouldn't be tough against the Lions, but then we just lost Kevin & Pat Williams for the rest of the season, so who knows?
Hellfire and damnation....
Well so much for our run defense. Guess we can kiss the rest of the season good-bye.
:furious3: :furious3: :furious3:

Wow, Orgah's are unanimous on 9 games this week, the Tampa Bay-Caroline game is the only one that's truly split. Martok and I have the exact same picks :dizzy2:
Suspensions temporarily blocked.
For the moment, at least, it's good news for both Minnesota and New Orleans. :2thumbsup:
So we do. Weird. ~:eek:Quote:

Well, I feel at this point in the season the odds of the bengals making the playoffs are becoming slim. So no problems picking a rival team. Don't think the cowboys can beat the steeler's D, plus they don't have marion barber.Quote:

The bengals have gotten to the point where they're putting carson's little brother in as quarterback just for laughs. Well, 1-11-1 has a nice symmetrical look to it.
By the way: The Eagles upsetting the Giants??! Even with Plexico out, I didn't see that coming. Also, the Texans edging the Packers and SanFran smacking the Jets around were two more surprises as well. :dizzy2:
10-3, baby!Quote:

Good week for the Eagles. They win, the Giants and Cowboys lose, and Washington's down with 4:30 to play. Not too shabby when you win and everybody else in your division loses. :yes:
Now if only I had as good a week... :laugh4:
Yeah, the only three games I called wrong. Big Ser picked Houston over Green Bay for the win this week. Nice call.:2thumbsup:Quote:

I mean, seriously:
Carries Yards TD's Long
D. Williams 19 186 2 41
J. Stewart 15 115 2 30
Although bryant for TB had a good day too:
Receiving REC YDS TD LG
A. Bryant 9 200 2 52
Plus an amazing catch in the endzone.
Don't forget to make your picks for this weekend! There's a little less than 20 hours left.
I'm gonna be running the Superbowl Pool at work this year. We use the 100-squares type pool that requires zero picking skill. $5 per square. Payoffs are for each quarter's final score (last digits), with "reversi".
So, for example, the score at the end of the 1st quarter is Detroit 21-7 San Diego. Whover picked the square "Det 1, SD 7" gets $100; and whoever picked the square "Det 7, SD 1" nets $25. So everybody gets 8 chances to win some cash.
Would anyone here be interested in participating? We could set up PayPal coordination. There's lots of time until the SB (1 February), so no hurry. But we ought not run this on the publicly-viewed boards. So, if you're interested, let me know via PM by 28 January.
-edit-
to see how that would look, I set up a custom squares pool at pool host, which should go active at 0600, 12 Dec (tomorrow). User Tools>Private Pool>totalwar>tosainu, should land you at the "Shogun" pool with Ashigaru vs Warrior Monks. :)
More good news for the suspended players:
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
Huzzah! With any luck, these guys won't receive suspensions at all, but at least now they should be able to play through the rest of the season. :2thumbsup:
I'd like to point out that not a single overtime game has gone my way this year.
Beat me this week khaan...that was the only game we picked different :shame:
Hah! Victory! :2thumbsup:
Our next two games are winnable too, draft picks be *******.
Also, "handing the ball to an opponent in a taunting manner" has to be the dumbest penalty call ever, especially for 15 yards.
Good gravy, my Vikings smacked the Cardinals around like the proverbial red-headed stepchild! At this rate, I might have no choice but to start believing we actually have a decent team.... :dizzy2:
How about those Cowboys. ~D
The Giants O-line looked really bad. If they don't pull it together they are not going to go far in the playoffs.
Without plaxico and jacobs and with the injuries to the o-line the giants are in for a tough ride.
Giants fans should be relieved that Eli is still alive after the pounding he took. Any more games like that combined with a likely injury at QB, and the Giants Super Bowl aspirations will be over. They need Jacobs healthy and should use him sparingly till playoff time.
With two weeks left, the Eagles and Cowboys look to be on a collision course for the final playoff spot in the NFC when they meet in Week 17. This one *will* get violent. :smg: :yes:
The Lions should immediately sign up that Iraqi shoe-throwing guy. He had pretty good aim.
That's harsh Kukri - throwing that guy to the Lions... :laugh4:Quote:
