I know at least one of the weeks it was on the same time as the Pats game, so I can understand why you wouldn't have watched it like I did. I think the two were the Bears and the Broncos games.

A heads up for Pierre Thomas owners .. Deuce is seein a lot of carries vs the Lions.

I'm not from the Philly area and my hatred is not geared at the fans, hardcore or bandwagon. It is at Jerry Jones, Wade Phillips and TO. I grew up with the Cowboys being the enemy (being a Redskins fan in the 1970s/early 1980s) but they commanded respect. Not any more and if those three would leave, then I would respect them again.

The Cards beat the Dolphins week 2 but that was before Miami really started to believe they could win. Take their 6 divisional games out of the mix and it is wuite a differentstory, not their fault they are in a bad division though as they're just playing the games on their schedule.

You could probably make an arguement that the 6 NFC playoff teams should come from the East and South (or 5 of them at the least).

[EagleFan]

Go Chargers!!!!

[Thomkal]

Cards have -1 yards now in the 2nd quarter. They have not been hit badly by injuries since Boldin was hurt in the Jets game. They are just a mediocre team that have taken advantage of an awful division. They have zero running game, and just cannot expect their passing game to carry them every game. And especially in the second half of the season, their defense and special teams have been lousy.

[DeToxRox]

You know why Ben has so many 4th Quarter wins this year? He is horrible the first 3 quarters and thankfully for him his D keeps it close so he can finally have a good drive late to win it.

He is so god damned overrated.

[SirFozzie]

Anyone got a screenshot of the pats game with how hard its snowing? being 15 minutes outside of Foxboro, I want to show a west coast friend how bad it is

[Thomkal]

Meanwhile KC has 2 fumbles and a INT and are somehow ahead of Miami after a Tony Gonzales TD pass.

This might come back to haunt them one of these times.

this is a very astute point

[Thomkal]

Cards can't even stop NE on a 4th and 10 when Cassell runs for 16 yards. Why the heck were the Patriots going for it on 4th down anyway?

[SirFozzie]

because they can't kick a 46 yard FG in this snow, and a coffin corner punt would only net them nine yards anyway if if went in to the end zone.

you will see teams go for it in the "orange zone" in this game

[Thomkal]

yeah but they are up 21-0 who cares how many yards they get on the punt

[Thomkal]

correction 28-0. Bring in Leinart

[SirFozzie]

apparently Mr Scrooge is reffing the Pats game.

Snow Angel? BAH HUMBUG! (unsportsmanlike conduct penalty)

[Thomkal]

Man Chiefs-Dolphins game is wild. Miami just scored to go back on top 24-21

Go Dolphins!!!!

Yes! What an ending to the first half

[DaddyTorgo]

31-0 Pats at the half

[SirFozzie]

At this point, we might see Kevin O'Connel for the third period, and Kevin Faulk running the WildPat offense in the fourth

[DaddyTorgo]

Fozzie - stealing my humor? (okay okay - WildPats was yours - but the Kevin's were mine)

[SirFozzie]

Well, at this point we could put Kevin from Scituate in at QB and still be pretty secure!

KC Leads! What the hell. 51 points in -14 degree wind chill

[SirFozzie]

The defenses in the KC/MIA game are saying "What? Are you fucking nuts? It's -15 wind chill and you want us to try to tackle folks? Fuck that noise! We're going to stay here by the heater!"

[Thomkal]

And here I thought Thigpen might have a lot of trouble playing in cold weather...

[SirFozzie]

That's just embarassing for the Cardinals.

[DaddyTorgo]

that's the literal definition of "untouched"

[Eaglesfan27]

Ugh. Tampa Bay up 24-20 on some horrible pass coverage.

[mauchow]

I'm forced to watch this horrible game on CBS while there are two much better games going on. Fox doesn't even have a 12:00 game going on here in Wisconsin. Bah!

[RainMaker]

As a Bears fan, I've been rooting for all the scenarios that would help them get in the playoffs. It is amazing that out of the 10 games I've had to root for a team in to help the Bears, the other team has won. Not sure if they're unlucky or not, but the scenarios are getting slim to none.

[Thomkal]

what the hell is Kurt Warner still doing in this game?

I too am stuck watching the Patsies play the Cards ugh 41-0 with 9:00 minutes in 3rd Q whhile the Titans are up in a great game 17-14
Yeah, this type of thing is killing the betworks and there football eventually. I didn't want to pay the $250 for the direct tv NFL season ticket and but being a Titans fan/Oilers fan for 30years I am kicking myself now.

[RainMaker]

I've unfortunately had to watch that Arizona game. I have never seen a team straight out play like they don't care. They have zero passion and zero interest in this game.

[SirFozzie]

Can we move the Pats to the NFC west? Please?

*grins*

[Jas_lov]

Big Ben with yet another turnover. He'll probably throw a TD late in the 4th to give them the lead though and the story will be Big Ben does it again, all he does is win football games.

[Alan T]

Go San Diego go!

[SirFozzie]

The blowout chat is on.

[Thomkal]

And its 31-31 in KC

[kcchief19]

Dolphins tied it up at 31. These teams are bound and determined to to make this a 55-52 game.

Sad thing is if the Chiefs weren't turning the ball over, they could be up by 3 or 4 scores. Miami has scores on some short fields and have at times been stymied by the Chiefs defense. Miami hasn't played any defense at all.

[RainMaker]

Kansas City has almost 500 yards with 5 minutes left in the 3rd quarter.

[DeToxRox]

Lions fans chanting for Joey Harrington, who is the Saints 3rd QB

[Jas_lov]

I hope the Saints put up 70 on the Lions. Brees wants that passing record so they'll keep passing. The Packers will have a chance for history next week.

[Galaril]

Wow what a game in Tennessee. The titans went for a 4 and 3 at the Steelers 25 yard line and got a12 yard pass . Then with a 4 and 1 atthe Steeler 4 the Titans go for a field goal but the Steelers are called for unsportsman like conduct by calling fake hike/snap count signals so the Titans get the ball again first and goal. Titans TD! Titans 24-14.

[Suburban Rhythm]

Possibly the most ridiculous call I've ever seen in the PIT-TEN game.

TEN lines up for a short FG attempt. Before the ball is even snapped, flag thrown, unsportsmanlike call on PIT.

The refs mic hasn't been working all game, but the speculation is one of the interior lineman for PIT was calling out the snap count, in hopes to getting one of the TEN lineman to jump.

I'll assume that Simms and Nantz are correct in that (I know, a stretch) and that it's in the rulebook.

If it is, then I guess it was called correctly. And it is also the saddest rule I think I've ever heard of.

Edit to add: What Galaril said.

[Radii]

CHARGERS!!!

[Thomkal]

And Tyler Thigpen has his first career 300 yard passing game. Sadly he picked up his second INT on the day too...

[Neuqua]

I knew I was in trouble in my fantasy championship game when I saw my opponent having Brees and Thomas go against the Lions.

Even in their sucktitude, I hate Detroit.

We will take any help we can get:}

[Thomkal]

I've stopped watching the Cards game, but I see from the stats that Leinart is finally in the game and has been sacked twice and the Pats are on the verge of scoring again

[SirFozzie]

yeah, he's fumbled twice. First time the ball just fell out of his hands.

His Helmet communication doesn't work, and he gives the impression that he'd rather be inside sipping hot coacoa
