No pro-football thread here???

Yeah. I "suspected" they were out there but I couldn't prove it.

Well, it was clear that they were missing their injured guys. Romo picked on Woodson's replacements (Bush, then Williams) very effectively, including drawing the two long pass interference penalties. And, without KGB, they rarely got much pressure on Romo.

I got the feeling that Harris was trying to overcompensate for Woodson's absence or something, and take Owens out of the game single-handedly...as a result, he seemed to frequently get caught out of position, and played one of the poorest games I've seen him play in a long time.

And then there's Mr. Atari Bigby. His aggressiveness cost them more than once (particularly on that face-mask penalty, when he tore Barber's helmet clean off his head). I start to wonder if Bigby attended the Chuck Cecil School-of-Idiot-Hardnose-Play.

Same here. I haven't looked at his stats, but in the games I've gotten to see this year he seems to be committing a LOT of penalties.

Taking a Pause...

At the Redskin-Bills game this Sunday, after the Washington Redskins' special team scored a field goal and the first score of the game, the Washington Redskins defensive team paid tribute to their fallen safety Sean Taylor by lining against the Bills' offense first play with only 10 men on the field.

WOO-HOO!

Chargers Won!

Woot!

Very surprised the Pats pulled that one off. They put together a drive to win at the end but I still feel like the Ravens lost it rather than the Pats winning it. I don't think the Raven can complain about the calls at the end though - they really couldn't maintain their composure.

I was actually pleasantly surprised with Don Shula. After some of his comments over the past couple of months, I had the impression that he was a senile and bitter old man. Last night, I thought he actually added some meaningful contribution to the broadcast. Tony Kornheiser, on the other hand, was a twit.

Sean Taylor's death makes it hard to even do any kind of post here. But I will try, keeping in mind that that is on a different level.

Since I last posted, the team continued its loosing ways, the teams best defensive player is shot and killed, and in the game after the hall of fame coach looses it by making a bone-head play.

They did beat da bears last night in a nasty game, but may loose their quarterback for the rest of the season.

Sheesh. Truly sad on different levels. But they can still make the playoffs :\ .

I sank the thread!

Anyways...the skins are somehow in playoff contention, also beating the giants. Sunday its the Vikings...and they could actually win it.

Its been a weird season.

One little picture of Sean Taylor, and no one is posting here. And its the PLAYOFFS!

Even better, the Skins are in after wailing on the Cowboys starters! Carried by an old coach and a middle aged quarterback. Its the story of the season (well that and Patriots perfection).

But nobody is posting here. Oh wel..

Always does my heart good to see the Cowboys get spanked, even if it was in a game that they had no motivation to take seriously.

My Packers get a week off to try to get healthier, but I still fear that the run defense has gotten soft, and that they may not make it out of the divisional playoff round, much less being able to beat Dallas at Texas Stadium (which has proven to be a massive mental block for the Pack).

This year's Superbowl will be help the weekend of the 19th - Colts at Patriots.
