American Football (NFL, College, etc.)

So far so good: :thumbsup:

Bears lose and are eliminated, 31-24.

Saints lose, 33-31.

Colts win, 23-0.

Falcons win, 31-27.

EDIT: More good news: Eagles hammering the Cowboys in the first half, 27-3. :applaud: :applaud: :applaud:

Eagles currently up 44-3 as the Cowboys' season is going down in flames, and turnovers. Owens and Williams will have plenty of time to whine in the off-season. :hehe:

Nice to see the Texans finish the season with a win to finish 8-8. Now they just have to avoid starting out next season in a hole, and they might have a shot at the playoffs.

Yes they can!!! :woot: [/list:u] Edit: Donkeys going down in flames trailing the 'Bolts 24-6 at the half. Hard to decide who had the biggest 2nd half collapse, Denver, Tampa Bay, or the Jets. :headscratch: [/list:u]

I really think they have to share that award... They can fight over it while watching the other teams in the playoffs. :hehe:

Unbelievable. :shakehead:

I would have to choose the Bucs. They knew they had to win this one, and they lose to the Raiders.....at home..... way to stick it to Gruden, I suppose.

I'm pretty happy with the teams that are in the playoffs...

And overjoyed to see New England and Dallas out. :victory: :dancing: :woot:

I share those sentiments .... anytime T.O. and Belicheat is out of the playoffs and spotlight, it's a good thing.

Jets basically gave the AFC East title away .... as the Manginius gets canned. Hopefully this was only the precursor to Favre going away and retiring for good. :fingerscrossed:

Favre crashed and burned in that final game... Didn't realize he threw that many picks (22) for the season... :sweat:

Cowboys, not Lions, were top flops

Broncos fire Mike Shanahan after their monumental collapse in the AFC West division. :shocked:

Didn't see that one coming. I wonder if they'll try to steal Kubiak from Houston, he was an assistant in Denver for a long time and has done a pretty job in Texas. [/list:u]

I've wondered a lot of times is it really the coach's fault... It's the players who have to execute in the end... :sweat:

It's almost always a combination of both ... adding management to the list as well. If the head coach didn't really effect the team that much, why have one?

If the team wins, the players executed the coach's brilliant plan flawlessly.

If the team loses, the players failed to execute the coach's brilliant game plan.

:beaten:

Well, they put up about as much resistance as a Kleenex box (make that a USED Kleenex box) in the first half, so I went and washed my car. :beaten: [/list:u]

Yup, I figured it was a loser game, but I had hopes. :shakehead:

The Big Ten is a Rose Bowl doormat for Pac-10 teams.

Speaking of Pac-10 teams, all of them have won their bowl games so far. :victory:

... The boring-est of which was the Sun Bowl, 3-0, Oregon State over Pittsburgh yesterday... :bleh:

First wild card game, Atlanta vs. Arizona, is currently on... I like both teams so I don't know who to root for. :sweat:

Arizona leads, 14-3, in the second quarter.

And Cardinals win their first playoff game since McKinley was president :victory:
