That kick was my season. If he made it, I advanced. he didn't, so I lost by 2.44 points and am out of the playoffs. Damn it.

Wow...I feel sorry for Bailey. Wasn't exactly his fault but that's two games in a row that have come down to a kick from him and both resulted in a loss.

And what a game! Everyone expected a good one and damn was it good. I had Robinson on my bench but Austin and Jacobs playing...wheeeeee.

How about them Cowboys? I can't wait to rub it in tomorrow at work at the Cowboys fans.

Giants' secondary guys need to sit down and have a chat between them. Talk about blown coverage several times tonight. Even I can throw for TDs with that much wide open receivers.

Guess your life is pretty miserable when the highlight of your day is to make fun of someone for something they have no control over. What, do you go to St Jude's and make fun of all those poor kids with cancer in your free time?

Don't know who needs firing the most, Jason Garrett or Rob Ryan. Rob Ryan has made the defense worse and Jason Garrett sucked as an offensive coordinator and sucks worse as a Head coach/offensive coordinator. Its a shame Jerry's ego can't coexsist with a real coach.

My life is pretty good, thank you very much. I rub it in because I am tired of all the self proclaim "America's Team" (I don't remember any votes were taken) and this and that and all the braggings years after years.

If you can't handle sports trash talk, get the hell out of the kitchen.

Actually they didn't proclaim themselves as "America's Team," but instead a guy in the NFL did while making a highlight reel along with it being said nationally on CBS. I believe there was a spot on this during a game last year and how the franchise didn't want to use it. Regardless, I can handle my trash talk when you actually can come up with something good.

Actually their defense has been pretty highly regarded this season. They've had some bad injuries though, but you have to remember that Rob likes to run blitz packages and have man coverage. Sometimes it works very well, but then you have that every now an then big play. Yes, it's frustrating but it's also a confusing system to play in.

Did you read my first post? I said "at work", not at you.

I grew up in the South and all I heard was all the bragging and boasting from fair weather fans (especially in the 90s when Cowboys won several SBs - and lately with all the fair weather fans of the Saints coming out of the wood - after they won the SB - before that it was harder to find one than find snow in July in the South) and it was a bit sickening to be honest.

OTOTH, I can't quote tonight.

Yeah that was a shootout. Cowboys really gave it away though, Romo did a few good things and a couple of incredibly bad ones. That last 3rd down pass was a groaner, easy open receiver, not even far away, and whifffff. Terrible.

Why would he do that? Poor kids with cancer are nowhere near as pathetic as the Cowboys and their fans. :p

Meh, this whole season is really just the Packers, the Saints, and the Niners. Everyone else is an also-ran at best, and that includes the entire AFC.

I'm not really a Cowboy hater, I just like giving them guff for some reason. And besides, my team is the Seahawks so... yea.

Your probably right as to your comment. NE's D will be their downfall in the playoffs. Don't see NO D being able to hold off GB. I hate to say it, but I have a feeling the Steelers will face GB in the SB. Oh, and congrats to the Texans and their fans, way to keep it together after losing Schaub.

Shit...Green Bay and Pittsburgh in the Super Bowl? Not again...that's like my worst nightmare...and biggest thrill.

Each team is and has been my favorite for their conference for decades. I've been a Steelers fan since the late 50's...my favorite AFL team...and picked up the Packers as my NFL favorite in the early 60's, a few years before the first Super Bowl.

Last year's Super Bowl was an exercise in agony...rooting for both teams...it's hard to root FOR both teams..
