NFL Week 16 - Page 2

EagleFan · 12-20-2008, 07:14 PM

Didn't realize this was the last game ever in that god-awful stadium in texas.

Radii · 12-20-2008, 07:26 PM

CHOICE!!! I am loving him having some success here lately.

Rizon · 12-20-2008, 07:49 PM

Is this game not televised on the West Coast or one of those NFLNetwork games? I can't find it anywhere on any channel.

gstelmack · 12-20-2008, 07:51 PM

Yeah, looks like NFL Network.

EagleFan · 12-20-2008, 09:30 PM

Yeah, it's on the NFL network.

Romo is really showing his post season form...

EagleFan · 12-20-2008, 10:34 PM

lol, I love it!!!

Gotta hand it to the Cowf*&$ers defense, they got their offense back on the field quickly each time.

EagleFan · 12-20-2008, 10:37 PM

Get out the demolitions, time to bring that dump down.

The tackling on those two TD runs was hilarious, as was watching that fullback rumble 80+ yards down the field.

Dallas losing officially clinches a playoff spot for Carolina, hooray!

Buccaneer · 12-20-2008, 10:42 PM

Very happy to see the Cowboys lose.

EagleFan · 12-20-2008, 10:45 PM

Anyone else hear Homor Simpson in their heads on each of those runs?

Doh!!!

stevew · 12-20-2008, 10:53 PM

Omg. The ending was priceless. Probably the last 2 backs if expect to go for 70 plus. Still not sure if it was better than the moss tds on Monday night a few years back

Jas_lov · 12-20-2008, 10:56 PM

The Ravens have knocked the Cowboys out of the playoffs. This is a team that was a lock for the superbowl and now they're about ready to implode.

Senator · 12-20-2008, 10:59 PM

I am SHOCKED! Someone with Eagle in their handle making over the top hatred comments!!

Be glad you cannot see the Farewell show live on TV here, it is the most poorly run event ever. I have seen better organized riots.

And just a postscript. Anyone who called Veteran's Stadium home cannot call ANYPLACE else a dump. I played many high school playoff games here, I don't think it is a dump.

I'd prefer seeing Dallas miss the playoffs, but I think Dallas still has hope. ESPN said Dallas can still make the playoffs if

They win @Philadelphia next week and

Tampa Bay loses their next two games (home games to San Diego and Oakland)

or

Atlanta loses @Minnesota tomorrow or to St. Louis next week.

So basically Dallas will control their own destiny again if Atlanta loses to Minnesota tomorrow.

Jas_lov · 12-20-2008, 11:15 PM

That's not much hope. Dallas will have a tough time winning in Philly. Tampa ain't losing to the Raiders. If the Falcons win tomorrow, it's over for Dallas and Wade Phillips' job.

lol, over the top hatred comments? That's not over the top hatred. Now if you want to see over the top hatred...

Northwood_DK · 12-21-2008, 03:54 AM

I don’t hate Dallas and would have preferred to see them self-destruct in the first round of the playoffs instead. I’m just glad this almost secured the Patriots will not make the playoffs this season.

RedKingGold · 12-21-2008, 08:30 AM

All NFC eyes will be on Tampa Bay v. San Diego and Atlanta v. Minnesota. If either San Diego or Minnesota win, then next week's Dallas v. Philadelphia becomes a playoff game.

Alan T · 12-21-2008, 09:08 AM

Really glad that Baltimore won. Now the Falcons just have to pull out the win vs Minnesota. I don't think this will be an easy game for the Falcons, but it is amazing to me to think that the Falcons could be one win away from having a good shot at getting in the playoffs and they hold their own fate in their hands.

Thomkal · 12-21-2008, 10:00 AM

Hmmm not often I get to see my beloved Cards play here in South Carolina unless they are playing Carolina. So why we are getting the Cards/NE game here is strange, but I won't complain. But I have the feeling I'm not going to want to watch for very long...

SirFozzie · 12-21-2008, 10:14 AM

Ouch. This makes the road for the Pats really hard. One of the two has to happen for them to make the playoffs even if they win out now.

A) The Ravens lose next week against Jacksonville at home
B) One (or both) of the Jets and Miami must lose this week
C) If only one of the Jets/Miami lose, that one must beat the other when Miami and NY play next week.

Big Fo · 12-21-2008, 10:56 AM

Cold weather (~12° F) in Kansas City today, if I were watching Countdown instead of soccer I'm sure there would be some ominous statistic about the Dolphins' historical record once the temperature drops below a certain point.

EagleFan · 12-21-2008, 11:26 AM

Wow, not even a response/comment from Cowboys fans? Have the slithered away with their tail between their legs already?

Neuqua · 12-21-2008, 11:32 AM

Go Falcons!

Ronnie Dobbs2 · 12-21-2008, 11:35 AM

Philly fans seem quite gracious this year.

Jas_lov · 12-21-2008, 11:38 AM

They're just jumping on a hated rival when they're down like any fan would. Neither Dallas nor Philly will beat the Giants in the playoffs so it doesn't matter much anyway. And that's if they get to the playoffs. I believe Atlanta and Tampa control their own destiny.

What is there to say? They have no heart, no toughness, no grit....nothing. They make one bone headed play after another. They commit one penalty after another. Their offense is so simplistic that the Ravens were running the receivers' routes. They made no adjustments until it was too late. Even then, they couldn't execute consistently. The defense played well most of the game, but they still can't do a basic textbook wrap up tackle. Everything is damn shoulder tackle! Quite frankly, they don't deserve to go to the playoffs. They have squandered their talent and opportunity.

Alan T · 12-21-2008, 11:58 AM

The Good: Watching the patriots vs Cards in the snow. I love, absolutely love watching a good snowy football game like this.. This is great!

The Bad: I am stuck listening to Kenny Albert for the game.. Is there any announcer with a more annoying voice doing football games currently?

Agreed, a game instantly becomes 20x as entertaining in the snow.

Agreed. I think I would even watch a game between the Lions and Raiders if it was in the snow.

Thomkal · 12-21-2008, 12:08 PM

And just the start the Cards needed, 3 and out, give up a big runback. *sigh*

Good enough, you pass.

EagleFan · 12-21-2008, 12:18 PM

dola: FTR, and any fan from the Philly area can confirm this, my (our) hatred for the Cowboys and their fans is based strictly on the band wagon fans that exist in area. Fans who have no connection to Dallas and only cheer for them because they saw them winning at some point (or those who feel the need to "stand out" and know they will get more attention by being a Cowboys fan). These fans are obnoxious to the nth degree and come out from under the rocks once the Cowboys look like they are doing well. At the beginning of the season they were out inforce wearing their Dallas stuff all over the place and never resisting the urge to comment at anyone wearing Eagles green. Now they are all turtling back into their shells and are nowhere to be seen. You saw Eagles green at the beginning of the season, inthe middle when things were not going well and still today. You see Cowboys gear only when it looks like things are going well for them.

I enjoy giving it to all Cowboys fans, and expect to get it in return. With Cowboys fans who actually ave a connection to the team it's all in fun (it is sports after all).

Jas_lov · 12-21-2008, 12:19 PM

The Cardinals have no chance to win this game. At least I get Pitt-Tennessee for my other early game. I just wish Nantz and Simms would shutup. Big Ben is nowhere near MVP caliber this year.

Haven't flipped to that one yet. Are they actually saying that? Haven't the Steelers been winning some of these games in spite of Big Ben?

DeToxRox · 12-21-2008, 12:24 PM

Ben just got killed. What a vicious two shots on one play.

Thomkal · 12-21-2008, 12:25 PM

Thigpen, who probably has never experienced anything close to the kinda weather they are getting in KC, atones for an early INT with a 30+ yard TD.

FINALLY we here in New England get a Falcons game this week!!!

Wow, just saw the fumble replay in the Titans/Steelers game. Surprised the refs didn't call it a TD....

It's the third Falcons game we've gotten this season.. but I agree fully. The Falcons should be the national game every week

Thomkal · 12-21-2008, 12:29 PM

*sigh* Cards should just go straight to the airport at halftime

EagleFan · 12-21-2008, 12:32 PM

Cards are looking like a one and done playoff team. What has been going on with that team snce Thanksgiving? It looks like the Lions could beat them the way they have played since then. I don't really see much news from that team. Did they have some key injuries or something?

Galaril · 12-21-2008, 12:34 PM

Huge momentum swing for the Titans. The Steelers with afirst and goal at the 4 but two negative runs, and Big Ben getting his clock rung fumbles

Now the Titans have the Steelers backed up at the Steeler 3. Also, it looks like Harris is out of the game.

Jas_lov · 12-21-2008, 12:34 PM

Boldin is out today. Not sure if they're missing anybody else. Have the Cardinals beaten a team with a winning record this year or have they just beaten on the horrid NFC West? Someone has to win that atrocious division.

Alan T · 12-21-2008, 12:35 PM

Arizona is just looking horrible. I can't really add to what anyone else is saying.. just they aren't even looking competitive..

Their playcalling is horrible - Why not try to mix things up a bit more.. so far every single play call has been easily predictable

Their blocking is horrible and their tackling on defense is worse. They need to learn quickly how to get their feet under them to support better in the poor field conditions..

Even their special teams are bad.
