But that won't help Singletary keep his job.

No but if the 49ers can win the division and a playoff game or two, that might help him keep his job.

I really don't see either of those things happening, considering how they were manhandled by the Chargers... Niners don't show any signs of continual improvement, just head-scratching unpredictability.

The Eagles rally from a 31-10 deficit to stun the Giants 38-31. Desean Jackson scores on a punt return with no time left to help the Eagles win. Wild game, with the Eagles scoring four touchdowns in the last seven minutes of the game.

^^ For sure one of the biggest chokes in recent memory, :bleh: Giants are going to back into the playoffs because the Bucs somehow lose at home in OT to...the Lions(?)! :beaten: Colts stepped up today and now control their own destiny by taking care of the Jags 34-24. Not a big game needed by Manning as they had a good running game today plus they were able to shut down the Jags running game, plus a kickoff return with less than 2 minutes to go iced it. :mrgreen:

The very definition of an Epic Fail by the Giants.

Unbelievable. :shakehead:

Well, when you have explosive players like Michael Vick and DeSaun Jackson you're never out of a game. That was a great comeback but I've still seen bigger. I remember as a kid watching Buffalo coming back from 35-3 down against the Houston Oilers in a playoff game when they were without Jim Kelly and Thurmon Thomas. I also remember a baseball game a few years ago where the Dodgers hit 4 home runs strait in the bottom of the 9th after being 9-5 down against San Diego.

True.

But the Giants defense is supposed to be way better than that... They dominated the game for 53 minutes, then disintegrated in the remaining seven. :shakehead:

Still have that VHS tape, actually transferred it to DVD, game was from January of '93, was busy that afternoon so I taped it, set it for 4 hours luckily, :sweat: sigh, it's been all down hill since then, where's Frank Reich now? :mrgreen:

The Giants defense and Philly's weapons aside, New York lost the game on two plays. The first was giving up that onside kick with 7:00 left when it looked like no one from NY was expecting it. The second is kicking the ball to DeSaun Jackson at the end of the game. A bad, rookie mistake by a rookie punter.

They've been on that rookies case all year, heat should be on the special teams coach now too, no excuse for not being ready for an onside kick. :shakehead:
Think the biggest shock of the year is the Falcons, :shocked: tied with the Pats for best record in the league, road to the SB will end up having to go through Atlanta. :doh:

Packers giving the Pats all they can handle, leading 27-24, with eight minutes remaining in the game.

EDIT: Patriots finally prevail, 31-27.

Idon't believe this I just Don't believe it :shakehead: :shakehead: :shakehead: :shakehead: :shakehead: :shakehead: :shakehead: :shakehead: :shakehead: :shakehead: :shakehead: :shakehead: :shakehead: :shakehead: :shakehead: :shakehead: :shakehead: :shakehead: :shakehead: :shakehead: :shakehead: :shakehead: the steelers Lost to the jets :usuck: :usuck: :usuck: :usuck: :usuck: :usuck: :usuck: :usuck: :usuck: :usuck: I don't want to believe it .. .after that really good game last week they come and did this really wow :shakehead: :shakehead: :shakehead: :shakehead: :shakehead: :shakehead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

They need their offense to get going, did well defensively last week against the Bengals but no offensive TDs in that one, :sweat: Jets can be beat thru the air but Ben has not been doing well as of late. :shakehead: Now tied with the Ravens, not sure how the tie breakers work out between them, both should end up 12-4, pair of patsies left for both of them. :naughty:

Division records, I think.

Tiebreakers for the Division Lead
The first tiebreaker is the head-to-head record between the clubs, followed by the best win percentage within the division. Next is the best win percentage in games with common opponents, followed by win percentage in conference games. This is followed by the strength of victory, then strength of schedule, and continues until the 12th tiebreaker, a coin toss.

^ You answered your own question. :P

Not really, didn't know what the 7th tie breaker was. :bonk: Don't think it's ever happened, flipping a coin for a playoff berth, doesn't seem right, think all sports have that as the final tie breaker, don't recall it happening in the other sports either. :shakehead:

Ya know, it just never stops with that Rex Ryan, what else is left? :beaten:

I suppose an assistant sticking out his knee to trip an opposing player wasn't low enough so they went lower, to the feet.
