Agreed...5-11 seasons and higher draft picks don't exactly guarantee you a super bowl ticket. More likely, if things go really well, you get to be a playoff team....So I never understood the sentiment to "blowup" a near-playoff team. Usually when teams blow-up, they spend years to get where they were pre-blow up.

Nothing wrong with drafting well and getting some youth in there though.

Radii · 12-28-2008, 03:05 PM

Fitting that a false start penalty for Carolina makes it a 42 yard FG instead.

molson · 12-28-2008, 03:06 PM

I'm pretty confident Garcia will fail here.

Vegas Vic · 12-28-2008, 03:06 PM

Minnesota with a last second 50 yard field goal to beat the NY Giants 2nd teamers, 20-19.

Radii · 12-28-2008, 03:06 PM

Annnnnd, the only remaining original Panther saves the division for Carolina as John Kasay makes a 42 yard field goal. There is still 1 second left for a kickoff. 33-31 Carolina.

MIJB#19 · 12-28-2008, 03:07 PM

Panthers and Vikings high on their kickers right now, I bet.

Hurst2112 · 12-28-2008, 03:07 PM

congrats Vikes. You just won your Super Bowl.

Radii · 12-28-2008, 03:08 PM

A botched squib kick gives New Orleans one play left from the 40 with 1 second left.

EagleFan · 12-28-2008, 03:08 PM

This is not easy to watch.

Radii · 12-28-2008, 03:09 PM

hahah, new orleans doesn't line up in time and gets a delay of game penalty so this final play is from the 35 instead.

SackAttack · 12-28-2008, 03:09 PM

And the Falcons just won, so if the Saints pull off a miracle, it's a wild card for Carolina.

Eaglesfan27 · 12-28-2008, 03:09 PM

Way to take that sack Garcia!

Radii · 12-28-2008, 03:09 PM

Wow that was crazy. Carolina wins the NFC South.

molson · 12-28-2008, 03:10 PM

What a collapse by the Buccs...9-3 and then 4 straight losses.

MIJB#19 · 12-28-2008, 03:10 PM

Yup.
Chicago and Tampa Bay both needed to win (or at least tie) today to have a shot at a wild card. With both losing the Dallas-Philadelphia winner will get the last playoffs ticket in the NFC.

If Andrews can get his problems behind him, Curtis and crew can stay healthy, and they have a good draft, then the Eagles could be dangerous next year. Heck, they could surprise a team or two in the playoffs this year.

However, if they show up flat with everything that has happened to keep them alive, then I agree with you that some changes need to be made.

That's a lot of if's

Granted, as assembled, they are by no means a bad team, but probably no better than a 9-7, 10-6 team. I want them to get back in championship contender mode, and I don't see that happening with the current team.

I do agree that McNabb could have been a great QB (and still can be). He just needs the tools.

WOW! What a choke job by Tampa. Wow, it's rare to see Gruden outcoached, but he sure was today. Garcia is definately a piece of shit at this point in his career.

EagleFan · 12-28-2008, 03:11 PM

Wow, never would have thought the Raiders winning was a possibility.

SirFozzie · 12-28-2008, 03:11 PM

Ok. I must do it at least once. And If I don't do it now, I never will have the guts to do it.

J-E-T-S JETS JETS JETS! Squish the Fish!

EagleFan · 12-28-2008, 03:13 PM

At least now the scoeboard watching is over and it's all on the line now.

Philliesfan980 · 12-28-2008, 03:13 PM

Wait, what am I worried about? When the pressure is on, the Eagles go bad. I can't believe I forgot this key fact.

DeToxRox · 12-28-2008, 03:13 PM

2 minutes until Imperfection!

molson · 12-28-2008, 03:13 PM

Shit, so what's left for scenarios

AFC:

-Ravens get wild card with win
-Dolphins win division with win
-If either lose, Pats take their place. If both lose, Pats and Jets take their places
-Chargers/Broncos winner wins division

NFC

-Cowboys/Eagles winner gets wild card - is that right?

Radii · 12-28-2008, 03:13 PM

LOL at packers fans chanting "0 and 16" at the Lions.

molson · 12-28-2008, 03:16 PM

Not all that inspired by Favre's pre-game pep talk:

"If it doesn't work out it doesn't work out, let's just do our best"

MIJB#19 · 12-28-2008, 03:18 PM

Updated playoffs situation:

AFC
1 Tennesse
2 Pittsburgh
3 Miami (if they win) or New England (if Miami loses or ties)
4 Denver (if they win or tie) or San Diego (if they win)
5 Indianapolis
6 see below
Baltimore wins -> Baltimore
Baltimore ties + Miami wins -> New England
Baltimore ties + Miami ties/loses -> Baltimore
Baltimore loses + Miami wins -> New England
Baltimore loses + Miami ties -> Miami
Baltimore loses + NY Jets win -> NY Jets

NFC
1 NY Giants
2 Carolina
3 Minnesota
4 Arizona
5 Atlanta
6 Dallas (if they win or tie) or Philadelphia (if they win)

MIJB#19 · 12-28-2008, 03:20 PM

So, Baltimore, Miami, Dallas and Philadelphia (and Denver and San Diego) all have faith in their own hands. New England doesn't, needing either Baltimore or Miami to lose (or tie). NY Jets need to win and need Baltimore to lose.

Philliesfan980 · 12-28-2008, 03:20 PM

At real time speed, I don't see anyway how that's a catch. But let's see what the replays show.

M GO BLUE!!! · 12-28-2008, 03:20 PM

0-16! 0-16! 0-16!

Now the countdown begins to when it is announced that Marinelli returns next season.

SirFozzie · 12-28-2008, 03:21 PM

You get the feeling Favre is trying to prove that his arm ISN'T dying?

Thomkal · 12-28-2008, 03:21 PM

wow that was some wild finishes to the NFC South games there, almost looked like the football gods were making sure the Falcons won and the Panthers lose so the streak of last to first could continue.

And nice choke jobs Tampa and Chicago, was really pulling for Tampa cause I didn't want Dallas or Phlly in. Now I gotta root for Philly I guess.

Theres the Brett we know and love

Dutch · 12-28-2008, 03:35 PM

Tampa Bay was well on their way to victory with the long run by Cadillac Williams but when he was on the ground screaming in pain as he re-ruptured his reconstructed knee, you kind of new the Bucs were finished...
(...and that should do it for Cadillac's short injury plagued career...)

Oh well, it was an interesting season so it wasn't a total loss, despite the mega-meltdown at the end.

Izulde · 12-28-2008, 03:35 PM

Thank you for the pick Favre!

SirFozzie · 12-28-2008, 03:37 PM

oh shit. neck injury

Thank god he's sitting. That looked BAD. (WR for the Dolphins)

MrDNA · 12-28-2008, 03:44 PM

So let me double get this straight:

Winner of Jets/Dolphins is in?
Winner of Eagles/Cowboys is in (this one I know)

What a great day of football!!

(Unless you're a Browns fan, which I am

)

Izulde · 12-28-2008, 03:46 PM

Martin out with injury, which is going to hurt our TE corps a bit.

and damn it, Ricky, CATCH THE DAMN BALL! DON'T DROP IT!

Eaglesfan27 · 12-28-2008, 03:53 PM

GREAT play by McNabb and Buckhalter.

Izulde · 12-28-2008, 04:14 PM

Dr. Sak · 12-28-2008, 04:23 PM

SMILE FOR ME T.O....

Eaglesfan27 · 12-28-2008, 04:24 PM

Great throw from McNabb to DeSean Jackson on 3rd down to set up another TD. Eagles up 17-3 now.

Dr. Sak · 12-28-2008, 04:26 PM

That was a perfect throw!

DeToxRox · 12-28-2008, 04:26 PM

By no means am I an Iggles fan, but please win.

That Dallas pick is lookin' like it'll be between 18-22 with a loss today.

Logan · 12-28-2008, 04:29 PM

I didn't realize how much I hated Favre until I caught myself rooting for the Dolphins.
