The 49ers were embarrassing, losing 21-0 to the Bucs. But they keep pace against the rest of the NFC West teams, who all lost today.

Well you've got to give credit where credit is due. Tampa's defense was outstanding today, and unfortunately shut down San Francisco's offense. Still, I felt this was a must win in order to have a shot at winning the NFC West. Losing on a day when both Seattle and St. Louis fall short is a big missed opportunity

Colts better get their act together, as the standings go they'd be out of the playoffs right now, :doh: tied with Jacksonville but lose the tiebreaker to them and they have the Chargers coming up next.

Get their act together? :headscratch:

They've got so many guys hurt on both sides of the ball, it's amazing that they can still remain competitive... You have to credit Manning for being able to keep them in the game with their second string receiver corp and near-nonexistent running attack.

Then again, Manning threw the three picks, one which gave the Pats an easy TD and the other a possibly a winning TD/tying FG at the end of the game. :(

Four turnovers cost the Giants the game, losing to the Eagles, 27-17.

Speaking of the Eagles, any chance Michael Vick will win the MVP honors if he keeps up his production?

After that game against the Redskins, there's been a lot of MVP talk...

Thing is, does the NFL want the associated heat that'll come its way if they do pick him as MVP?

U must say that the Colt gave the Patriots a Run for the money they almost came back and win with an very badly injured team But it was an Exciting Game to watch

They said he was okay, but he's wearing a neck brace as a precaution. :sweat:

Take away that big game against the Skins and his stats are no better than quite a few other QBs right now, no great game last night, only had a hand in one TD, should have killed the Giants considering they had 4 TOs. Still a long way to go but to me Rodgers and Brady would be 1 and 2, very few teams have had as many injuries as the Packers, key ones too, yet Rodgers still keeps leading them to wins. :applaud:

Those picks hurt but he's still playing well, :mrgreen: hasn't been their offense this year, not as good as it has been but still one of the best in the league, that defense has let them down too many times this year, :beaten: though they do seem to have a fairly easy schedule the rest of the way.

Not really, with San Diego and Dallas coming up, though they are home games. :sweat:

If they can beat Jacksonville they should be okay, have 3 games against the Texans and Titans, those teams are such a mess. :bleh: Dallas is playing better, Kitna is no star but he's been a quality QB for a while, just been stuck on bad teams so he always has to play catchup inflating his INT total, :sweat: they will have a big say in the playoff races with 2 against the Eagles, plus the Saints, has much as we dislike them would be nice to see them hurt a few team's playoff chances, like they already did against the Giants. :hehe: That's another team fading, they almost always do in the 2nd half, right now they wouldn't even qualify for the playoffs. :woot:

The game fulfilled all of my expectations: Pats win, high scoring close game. There was no way Manning wasn't going to rack up the yards against the Pats' terrible secondary. :sweat: Woodhead continues to impress.

Texans let the Jets march down the field with less than a minute left to win the game. :shakehead:

Both Tampa Bay & Atlanta continue their good run.

That was pathetic... They deserved to lose. :shakehead:

Texans once again find a way to lose, never mind marching down the field in less than a minute but they also had no timeouts! :usuck: Two weeks Jets at Pats, winner of that will probably win the division. Not sure how the tie breakers are working out in the NFC, but 2 of those 7-3 teams won't make the playoffs. :puppydog:
