Are you ready for some Football?!? (NFL)

[John Crichton]

Even so, either the G-men or the Pack are likely to be one-and-done in the playoffs anyway.

This is most likely true. However, I would give the Giants some chance (read: Tiki goes nuts again) as they have beaten both potential teams in their stadiums already. The Packers have next to no chance against either. Farve has no weapons, which is sad because I think he has some gas in the tank. That said, I don't see him winning in Chicago, unless he decides before the game to hang it up at the end of the year (Tiki syndrome!).

Hmm, or if the 8 games go their way and they have a chance to get in. I have to admit that I would be shocked (not to mention very mad) if it happened. But not *that* shocked, if you know what I mean. To re-state the obvious: this has been a wacky NFL season...

That much is definitely true. Ahman Green still has some life left in him, but he's not the runner he was a few years ago. And, other than Donald Driver (whom everyone double-teams now), the receiving corps is more like a receiving corpse. Bubba Franks clearly has lost something, Greg Jennings isn't as good as he was earlier in the season, Ferguson's hurt again, Walker's in Denver....

That said, I don't see him winning in Chicago, unless he decides before the game to hang it up at the end of the year (Tiki syndrome!).

I think the odds of it depend mostly on how long the Bears play their starters. They started taking people out in the 4th quarter against Detroit last week. And, the Bear defense is very exploitable these days, so anything's possible. Probable? Now there's a different story.

Well, Steelers are going to dash the Bengals hopes even if what else needed to happen doesn't. Cleveland should be winning 20-0 if they could just complete a drive.

Steelers at least don't follow the Super Bowl win with a losing season. Now if only Cowher doesn't leave us.

God I hope he doesn't.

Rivers had better freaking be okay.

What happened to Rivers?

What happened to Rivers?

His ankle got hurt in the beginning of the game. They taped it up though, and he went back in the game after 1 play. He has been limping a lot though.

Luckily he gets a week off

Him and LT. Looks like he hurt his ankle as well.

Anyone watching the Falcons & Eagles game?
