How could you possibly hold the NFL accountable for this?

Because they should have had the forsight to know that the Ravens and Packers would both eat ass, thus we should not have to see them in national tv games.

I see.

How about Eli, huh?  Another pick inside the red zone.  He just shouldn't be trusted to throw the ball down there.  His reward is a TD pass from Clinton to Cooley.  :-D

Yes! I can win $25 in my money league and my team is decimated with injuries, so I started freakin Chris Cooley. It paid off. Huzzah.

The only team in the history of the NFL to win a "Super Bowl" and not make the playoffs in the same year.  :-D

If the Falcons lose to Carolina next week, they retain their dubious distinction of having never had a winning season two years in a row.

Also, if the Ravens lose to the Vikings tomorrow, the Eagles will be the only team in the NFL at 6-9.

The Legion of Vick Lovers should have a lot to talk about on Monday. Woody Paige has been on Vick's herpes infected johnson for the last two years. They were relatively healthy this year too (compared to the Eagles). The look on Vick's face after the FG was blocked was priceless. And Jim Mora on the horn asking about what a tie means to his team was hilarious too.

Carolina is officially a Jekyl and Hyde team. Not only did they bone me in my only parlay of the day (had PIT, MIA, CAR & SEA) but they always play down to their opponents. Steve Smith getting ejected was bad too.

Living in Atlanta... this is all I have left to cheer for this season.   :-\

I'm the biggest Carolina fan in the world this week.

Who lit a fire under Boller's ass all of a sudden?  Looks like he may have to be my Championship game starter in one of my yahoo leagues.  I won two and i'm going for the trifecta.

A bad game, yes, but what REALLY sucks - Vrabel has as many TDs receiving this season as Lewis and Brown combined.  Thankfully it'll be over in a week. :-X

The interview process consists of playing paper football against Steve Bisciotti. You win the game, you win the job.
