"Relatively" is the key word.

Notice how really good and focused the Pats got after unloading Moss?

Cincy played the same way today without those two pariahs.

Hard for Ochocinco to celebrate when he never sees the end zone. :naughty: Actually glad Cincy won without those 2, while not a real good team they're better than their record shows, wouldn't doubt if Lewis will be joining Singletary in the unemployed ranks shortly.
Moss said he's open to playing for the Titans next year, what are the odds though they feel the same way? :shakehead:

Speaking of those 3, there's a football card called "Exquisite Trio":http://cgi.ebay.com/Chad-Ocho-Cinco-Terrell-Owens-Randy-Moss-EXQUISITE-/220714880485?pt=US_Football&hash=item3363a1cde5

Somehow "exquisite" was not the adjective that first came to mind for me. :shakehead:

That would be surprising since Lewis was Coach of the Year in 2009. :sweat:

I suppose it would be just another case of "What have you done for me lately?" :sweat:

Moss said he's open to playing for the Titans next year, what are the odds though they feel the same way? :shakehead:

LOL, he didn't do squat for the Titans. :crazy:

Think about Lewis is that he turned down a contract extension after last year, his contract ends after their next game, sort of up in the air if they want him back. Far as Moss goes, gotta think who would want him though we all know someone will, all 3 teams this year have done better without him on the roster. :beaten:

Saints edge the Falcons, 17-14.

^^And clinch a playoff spot, went 2-0 vs. the Falcons but won't end up tied with them as the Falcons end up against the Panthers :bleh: and probably the last game for Fox there.

The Saints and Falcons have played each other close both times they've met this season, with each one winning in the other team's building. Should be great if they meet again in the playoffs. I'm looking forward this season's playoffs. No team has really separated themselves from the pack, though the Patriots have been great lately. It looks to be a very competitive playoff season with no clear favorites.

I'm sure there will be a team that takes Moss or Owens, a team that feels they can make a push for the playoffs, or a team with an owner who thinks landing one of them will sell tickets. The problem with teams like that is they probably won't be winning enough and being the frontrunners that they are, Moss and Owens will pout and not put in effort to playing.

^ Conflicting stories: did the Falcons and Saints split the season or not?

EDIT: They did split the season.

Yeah they did, gomen. :beatyou: Though the Saints would still win the tiebreaker if they tied which is unlikely but as well as the Falcons have done they could drop from the #1 seed to #5 if they did somehow lose. :shakehead:

It could happen, the Panthers might put something together for once and stun the Falcons. :beaten:

I wouldn't feel too bad if I were a Saints fan, as a #5 seed would mean a 1st round game against whoever wins the NFC West. I doubt either the Rams or Seahawks pose much of a threat. It does get tougher as moving on to the 2nd round means a potential road trip to Chicago or Philadelphia.

Yeah, I don't see how the Saints can survive playing outside of a comfy dome.

Many saw this coming, but they decide to do it with one game left. :sweat:

If they say play the Rams round one and win, then they could play at Atlanta so they wouldn't have to be outside until the championship game, then again the weather is even worse in the North than it is now. :bleh: Colts were or are the same way, their 2 trips to the SB they played the championship game at home, they don't like New England weather. :naughty:

EDIT- Was waiting to see what the new avatar of JS was going to be, blank when I started this, what happened to Ayase? :puppydog:

ImageShack deleted a bunch of my Ayase pics. :headscratch: I have to re-up them. Meisa isn't bad on the eyes. :mrgreen: I think I'll ring in the new year with her. :naughty:

Surprised they would, :usuck: PhotoBucket on occasion has deleted some of mine, then I just re-upload them at IS, never once have they deleted one of those pics. :nut:

Vikings upset the Eagles at Philly, 24-14. :shocked:

Yet another example that great players seldom make good coaches. Judging that situation from afar--perhaps Geezer could comment since he knows a lot about the Niners--it seemed to me that Singletary was in over his head. Prior to being named head coach, he didn't have a lot of coaching experience and had never been in a position of responsibility (coordinator).

I wonder if the Niners will pursue Jim Harbaugh?

Last point on Singletary--a lot of people know what a great middle linebacker he was for the Chicago Bears, but when he played at Baylor University, he was just unfreakingbelievable.

I know right I was just as shocked :shocked:

Did anyone hear the news about the animals right people are on the president for calling or backing the Eagles or even giving Vick a second chance?? :grumble: Really ... the man did his time right let him live :shakehead:
