What a totally disappointing game from the Broncos... :shakehead:
I really wanted the Bears eliminated... Or near-eliminated. :grumble:
Yeah. I was hoping for the Cards to challenge Seattle for that division, but it doesn't seem likely after St. Louis apparently blew a lead to the Seahawks as well.

And they fumbled away the possible winning score on the last play of the game. :shakehead:
Between college and the pros, it's been a pretty wild year for football... :shocked: and it's not even close to finished yet.... :mrgreen:

Really wild for college... Great stuff. :thumbsup:
Patriots lead the Eagles, 14-7... Eagles playing pretty good so far.
Of course, saying that, I've jinxed them. :doh: :sweat:
EDIT: It's now, 14-14. :woot: :victory:
Defense holds the Pats to a redzone field goal.
Philly is putting up a good fight, without McNabb. :applaud:

That surprise onside kick by the Eagles was pretty aggressive... :thumbsup:
If anything, it'll be a close game... For once. :sweat:
Another tumultuous week in a great, memorable college football season.
LSU losing to Arkansas at Baton Rouge was stunning. Darren McFadden shows just what a great player he is.
I watched a lot of the Missouri/Kansas game. Frankly, I don't see Missouri as being among the top three teams in the country right now, even though they will be ranked number one come this week. The Tigers have really good offensive skilled position players, but you can't say the same thing for their offensive and defensive lines.
Missouri though, has a great chance to beat Oklahoma in the Big 12 championship game because statistically it's tough beating the same team twice in one season.
Should Missouri lose to Oklahoma, then Ohio State will probably get into the BCS championship game. That sucks, seeing as how they played only one pretty good team this season. . .and lost to it. No way the Buckeyes season-ending victory over archrival Michigan was against a good football team. The Wolverines were just an above average football team.
The team playing the best football right now imo is Florida. They're on a roll, the talent they have at all positions is tremendous, and Tim Tebow is superman.
I can't see West Virginia not making it to the BCS championship game. They should beat Pitt in their final regular season game and would make a pretty formidable opponent for whoever it faces. Their offense is scary fast, and their defense, while not great, has improved over the course of the season.
Oregon's collapse at the end of the season is mindboggling. Losing one player and they went from a contender for the national championship with an almost unstoppable offense to a three-loss team (with one more game to play) currently saddled with an egregiously inept offense.
Hawaii is still unbeaten! They gotta beat Washington, if for no other reason than to throw a monkey wrench into the BCS system. Go Warriors!

TOUCHDOWN EAGLES! 21-17! :dancing:
Close at the half, at least. :bonk: That would make something like the third time this year the Pats have been in a game that was still close at halftime.... :shakehead:

Absolutely!! :thumbsup:

I'm with you... They're this year's Boise State. :D
Go Rainbow Warriors!!! :woot: :dancing: :victory:
Of course, the Pats return the kickoff to the 45, and with 3 minutes left, they are almost guaranteed to scoare again before halftime... :doh:
Eagles give the Pats all they can handle, but still lose, 31-28.
Too many picks thrown by the Eagles did them in. :sweat:

Once upon a time the only acceptable outcome to an NFL season for Niner fans was a run at the Superbowl.
I have a new goal this year. I want the Niners to win enough games to keep the pick they traded to the Pats out of the top ten.
I don't know if they can do it, but you have to have a dream.
It's a ridiculous thing to say, but I'm pinning my hopes on Dilfer.
You could see it, at the end of last week's game, and in yesterday's game against the Cards. After a 2 year lay-off, he's getting his legs back under him, and getting his confidence back.
He'll never be a "great" QB, but he's a solid NFL pro, and if he keeps it together he's got enough talent around him to be productive.
My only fear is that Nolan might want to put Smith back in when he says he's healthy.
Hopefully he'll be influenced by his dad's QB decision back in the day.
The summer before Dick Nolan took over the Niners the team drafted that year's Heisman Trophy winning QB. Some guy named Steve Spurrier.
Daddy Dick watched Spurrier in practise and decided to keep John Brodie in as the starter.

The Steelers beat the winless Dolphins in a shootout, 3-0, in rain-soaked Pittsburgh.
The winning field goal was kicked with 17 seconds left in the game. :beaten:

Apparently 2 punts landed in the mud and stuck there instead of bouncing or rolling! :shocked:
