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

the 1000 different seneerios will make sundays games more interesting, though I doiubt Giants will lose this. Although they really are doing a nice job of just dying in the second half of the season.

I just have to say...

"Hail to the Redskins.!"

(Just kidding! As a Saints fan, I don't have a horse in that race.)

As a Giants fan, I continue to have zero confidence in the Giants.

The score is currently 7-3 and NY just got a lucky timeout to prevent a delay of game.

They need to feed Tiki to win this one...

I don't know how but the giants answered well

Well, it looked like the Redskins might have pulled it out, but Campbell just kept firing blanks at the end.

So, the Giants get that last benighted wild card berth, unless the Packers win tomorrow night and a bunch of other games fall a certain way.

I really needed Tiki to retire at halftime.

That last batted down pass was really what did it. That looked like a 1st down completion until Wilson got a hand on it. *yikes*

Well, the Pack will know before they play if there is a playoff spot up for grabs.

Cuz I know how to cut-n-paste here is the way the Packers get into the playoffs:

Green Bay wins @ Chicago
Arizona wins @ San Diego
Detroit wins @ Dallas
Miami wins @ Indianapolis
Minnesota wins @ home vs St. Louis
San Francisco wins @ Denver

Carolina loses @ New Orleans
Houston loses to Cleveland @ home
Tampa Bay loses to Seattle @ home

I am a relieved but still not confident Giants fan. But they have beaten both Dallas & Philly on the road so there is hope for they yet.

That was a crazy performance for Tiki. I just hope he has something in the tank left for the Eagles or Cowboys, assuming the G-men are in.

Agreed...nice play by Wilson. Couldn't believe they went away from Randle El and Moss on that series.

Yeah, I'd read that on SI.com. A lot of those are feasible...but Arizona beating San Diego? Detroit beating Dallas? On the road? To quote Jack Sparrow: "Not impossible. Improbable." But, highly highly so.

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