Okay, you bastards. You've got one last chance to beat Chicago's ass today. And if the Packers beat the Vikings and the Giants beat Philly, then only Green Bay makes it to the Playoffs.

Otherwise EVERY OTHER TEAM in your Division goes to the playoffs. You bastards.

[jjreason]

BEARS. The completely disgusting part is that I actually have to "root" for Green Bay to Minnesota, when usually I'd just settle for a bomb to go off.

[RoIIo Tomassi]

I'm just rooting for Adrian Peterson to break Dickerson's Rushing record.

Of the teams left in both conferences, I'm rooting for the Texans and the Seahawks.
But I think the SuperBowl(yeah. That's right. I said the Name. Do something, NFL. You Jackboots.) will be Patriots vs Falcons.

[Ran]

Considering how well the "experts" say the Lions and Browns do in the draft every year, they still stink.

Fun Fact: Eric Dickerson has held the rushing record 2 years longer than OJ Simpson and Jim Brown combined.

News Flash: Bills win another meaningless game at the end of the season to drop them a few spots in the draft. At least they blew out the Jets.

[Negative Boy]

Ugh. Okay. We get it. They're brothers. Move on. Find a new story. Jaesus.

Oh, and I don't like that Karpernick kid. He looks vaguely Persian. Something shifty about that guy.

I'm rooting for Ray Lewis. The man wore a white suit to a double murder and walked away without so much as a ticket. That's pimp. That's very very pimp.

[anarky]

I think the internet has finally rendered the Super Bowl useless for people who only watch the ads.

During some of the draft coverage, they were talking about Mantei T'eo being drafted by the Chargers. They mentioned that San Diego is close to his home in Hawaii.


What they should have said was:

T'eo was drafted by the San Diego Chargers. San Diego is close to his girlfri...er...family in Hawaii.

[Tom Foolery]

That was the most boring NFL draft ever.

Seriously? That's like saying I moved to Nova Scotia to be close to my home in Ireland.

[Tom Foolery]

Oh look! It's already that time of the year again. That brief sliver of time, where the optimism hasn't been smothered with a pillow yet. Let's look at the schedule and get to smotherin'.

Vikings. Probably not. But a win will be a big boost for momentum.
@Cardinals. If they don't win this one, the rest of the season will be bleak.
@Redskins. Depends on whether RG3 is back to full power.
Chicago. Hmm. New coach. Cutler sucks. Urlacher retired. Might have a chance.
@Green Bay. Ha! No.
@Browns. Toss up. Cleveland ain't great. But neither is Detroit.
Bengals. Probably not. Bengals put up a good fight last year.
Cowboys. Dallas is all over the map. Toss up.
BYE WEEK.
@Chicago. Depends on how well their doing. Homefield advantage doesn't help though.
@Pittsburgh. Dear god, please let Suh sack their asshole QB so hard he breaks his spine.
Tampa Bay. The Bucs will probably win.
Green Bay. The Thanksgiving game! Detroit never misses an opportunity to lose big when the entire nation is watching. Especially at home.
@Philidelphia. Gawd, Eagles have been embarrassing lately. We might have a good chance here.
Ravens. Oh Please. Last years champs? We've no chance.
Giants. Oh Please. The previous years champs? We've no chance.
@Vikings. I'm sure Adrian Petersen will embarrass us, just to pour salt in the wound that is our season.

Final Tally: 5W-11L.
Optimism smothered.

Buffalo has a new coaching staff, new qb, new defensive system, new linebacker core, most of their WRs are first or 2nd year players, and Byrd hasn't re-signed yet. I expect 6-7 wins tops. Next year, I expect more.

That shouldn't be too hard. With games against the Jaguars, Panthers, Chiefs, and two against the Jets, they've already got five in the bag. Why do the Chiefs even play anymore?

[Ran]

What gets me is that there are experts that think the Chiefs are great.

New England - Pats are going downhill, but the Bills aren't there yet.
Carolina Panthers - Its in Buffalo, so there is a chance.
@ New York Jets - Bills probably split with the Jets.
Baltimore Ravens - Loss
@Cleveland Browns - Browns suck
Cincinatti - loss
@Miami Dolphins - loss
@New Orleans Saints - definate loss
Kansas City Chiefs - win
@Pittsburgh Steelers - Another team that is going down, still a loss
New York Jets - win
Atlanta Falcons (@ Toronto) - loss
@Tampa Bay Buccaneers - win
@Jacksonville Jaguars - who is their QB? win
Miami Dolphins - win
@New England Patriots - loss

So, about 7 wins, and that is being optimistic.

[Tom Foolery]

I lose track, but don't the Chiefs replace their head coach every other year? They've got Andy Reid now, but his Eagles were pretty shitty last year so that's not a big help.


I see the Dolphins finally updated their helmet Logo.

[Ran]

The Chiefs also got Alex Smith from the 49ers, and after years of being a mediocre QB, somehow he is now the savior. Andy Reid is one of those coaches that the media loves, despite his record. See also, Jeff Fisher.

I watched a few minutes of the Dallas/Miami preseason game, but didn't last long because I'm not a fan of either team.
