The NFL

“jags beat themselves with stupid penalties. numerous false starts, 12 men on the field, and a really dumb unnecessary roughness that negated a crucial first and goal. colts got outplayed, but they had more discipline, and won the game, and clear sailing to their 6th straight division title”

“and with the bears loss, i won my 100 dollar bet that they wouldnt win their division this year. good weekend for football!”

“Steelers WIN!!!!”

“wow. they beat the bungles”

“rave 17, spat 10

i smell UPSET!”

“damn...


that's all I have to say”

“The cheaters win again!

I don't know why I'm enjoying watching the Pats beat everybody. I certainly didn't want to see the Ravens take them out. Maybe I just want them set up for the Cowboys to knock off in the Super Bowl.”

“That's as close as you can come to losing and still get a "W."

The refs were letting some Pats receivers get mugged for most of the game, and then started calling it late. I hope this woke the Pats up, so they will use their short prep week well and be ready for the Steelers when they come a callin'.”

“stupid sole selling cheaters...something bad has to happen to them, it just has to”

“Crash Bang: "I smell upset"

In the final analysis, you just smell.”

“in related news, a new law has been enacted in maryland which prevents defensive coaches from ever calling time-out again”

“Their is a vast NFL Conspiracy to hype a Colts - undefeated Pats match-up for the AFC championship.

"In both instances, members of the losing teams were critical of the officiating after the games. Jaguars defensive end Paul Spicer went so far as to imply that Colts general manager Bill Polian paid off the officials. Jacksonville coach Jack Del Rio said that it appeared that all the close calls went Indianapolis' way. Ravens cornerback Chris McAlister echoed that anger.

"It's hard to go out there and play the Patriots and the refs at the same time," McAlister said. "They put the crown on top of them, they want them to win. They won."

“One Raven player is saying a certain ref was calling him a boy and making derogatory comments to him all game. I think it was the guy who threw the penalty flag. He said he will pursue it.”

“Yeah, I'm not sure what the beef is about one black man calling another "boy." Hard to make it sound racist and worse language gets used on the field.”

“just read that new englands final game of the regular season is on nfl network, the channel that practically no one gets. i understand that if nfl network has a game, its not on any other network, not even in the markets of the teams playing (exception: if you have nfl gamepass like i do, you can see ALL games. but you have to be outside north america to get nfl gamepass). how loud is the uproar going to be if theyre going for 16-0 and no one gets to see it?

“No uproar from me, only those who "spectate".”

“i find it hard to believe the colts are 9 point favorites over the ravens, after seeing how tough they played the patriots. i think the ravens are going to play pissed off, and it will take some luck for the colts to get out with a win, especially since ryan diem and harrison are still out. but it would be sweet to get a win, and a pitt loss, which would nearly clinch the #2 seed

“Panthers Suck!!!!”

“no shiat!”

“You mean the Carolina Kittens?”

“last year all I did was lose my mind every sunday watching those morons. This year I've not watched them once! Go ahead call me a fair weather fan..its ok...they SUCK the NUTS in my washer!”

“One thing thats been funny to see is how Anthony Smith has gotten sucked into this position of making a bold guarantee that the Steelers will beat the Pats. What he really said was standard stuff:

"Yeah, I guarantee a win. As long as we come out and do what we got to do. Both sides of the ball are rolling, and if our special teams come through for us, we've got a good chance to win."

So, if you come oput and do what you have to do and both sides of the ball are rolling and the special teams come through you will win. Cripes. That's true for almost any frickin game, and - of course - there is another team out there trying to stop you from doing what you have to do.

And now everybody is talking about this newbie making an outrageous cocky guarantee. Now, every time they ask him about the guarantee he can either wimp out or dig himself a deeper whole. That's the way media hype can work. No wonder lots of players either refuse to speak to the media or say boring bland stuff.”

“C'mon Vikes.

Yeah, I agree with you ped. It wasn't even good copy. Slow news day.”

“Yer Vikes are looking good nimble. Looking at their schedule, they're looking pretty solid for the playoffs - with a nice streak going and a decent schedule ahead of them. I've always liked them, but I thought they were done when they were 2 and 5.

Here in Patriots land, I'm hoping I don't have to hear too much about it after the game. It would be a lot worse if the Steelers won, though.”

“i guarantee that 16 teams will win today”

“Crash: If you are saying NFL teams, I'll bet against you. What odds are you giving and how much are you ready to lay down?

“crap. i cant even guarantee that, since 1 game has already been played, and another will be played tomorrow. i suck at guarantees”

“Yep!

If you were saying this round, I'd need huge odds. With the sudden death overtimes, there hasn't been a tie since 2002 (I think).

“steelers LOSE!”

“colts SCORE!”

“It's final... I cannot complain about being a vikings fan any more. They look solid, playoffs, here we come.”

“baltimore FUMBLES!”

“colts SCORE!”

“And colts score...”

“wow. im starting to feel bad for baltimore”

“alright colts, dont get cocky. thats the 2nd time in 3 posessions running on 3rd and long. baltimore CAN stop the run, if nothing else”

“The Colts were letting the Raves have a little self respect to take home. The first half was as lopsided as an NFL game has ever been. Baltimore hadn't recovered from the dagger in the heart last week. Detroit may have a similar hangover next week.

The Vikings may be headed to the playoffs, but Adrian Peterson laid an egg for my fantasy team.”

“GO JAGS!”

“I'm really glad the Pats beat Tittsburge. Brady continues to show that he will be one of the greats.”

“too bad the pats are gonna lose to the dolphins.”

“Improbable, but the irony would be incredibly rich assuming next weeks games go as predicted.

One team seemingly bound for a winless season and one bound for an undefeated season collide and the worst team in the NFL beats the best.”

“Steelers looked like HELL!!! Usually in the 2nd half we're better but dang they were worse! I am a sad girl!”

“Funny irony (for everyone but the Ravens and their fans): the Ravens go from just barely missing a chance to ruin the Patriots perfect season - go on to just barely managing (in overtime) to save the Dolphins from a perfectly imperfect season.

Of course, it messes up the plot line for the Pats-Fins game next week.”

“GOOOOOOOO Cowboys!!!!!!!!!”

“YES IT DOES Ped! Wouldn't that just been the next greatest thing (Steelers winning the Pats game would have been the greatest)!

Steelers stunk up the joint today. To the Jags! The horror! The shame!”

“no! not an interception we are running out of time go cowboys go!

“GO Jags. Woo Hoo!


Oh yeah, the Panthers won too. Amazing.”

“NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How does a 12-1 team lose to a 5-8 team? This could be the worst day of my life.”

“jags are a pretty good team this year. losing to them is not bad

colts are locked into the #2 spot now. they still need to get harrison back and playing soon so their chemistry isnt thrown off in the playoffs. gonzalez needs time playing in the slot. because of the 3 teams the colts could end up facing (jags, steelers, chargers), all 3 always give the colts lots of problems”
