Who knows?
Even the best teams lose sometimes.

For a team
with nothing to gain from this contest, it feels good to see this team play hard still.
If we're
gunna look that uninspired on Off. Take the 1st team outta the game.
Another big run!
I am concerned about this run D.

How many long runs up the middle
are we gonna have to give up before some people admit that we need to find a more athletic MLB next year?
AP
had 8 yrds on 7 carries plus a fumble before that play. We still stuff the run.
That TD is on AP
Here we go again, but he went all the way to the outside and left his gap in the middle unprotected. Watch the replay and that’s all him.
AP
Caught up in the wash. He has become a liability. Is Chase the ML of the future?

Alright Ahmad
that’s his best return of the season. In fact, I think that’s the teams best non-Hixon return all year
Baldinger
What is up with that crooked pinky?

Ward looks
hungry for 1000 yrds. How may does he need?
Anyone watching any of this Pats-Bills game?
the wind is RIDICULOUS. The goal posts keep getting blown over, and field goals are getting pushed around like crazy (NE just missed like a 30 yarder)
Tavaris
Is aweful. Think what this team would be with a mediocre QB. Kiehl looking good.

BTW - anyone else think Brad Childress is a chicken-sh!t
for not showing the Bears score in the stadium there?
Save the neck for me, Clark.
Ben Roethlisberger
carted off the field in Pittsburgh. I’m a believer in playing your guys till the end, even in “meaningless” games, but that’s the danger…
Awesome
9-10. While they have everything to play for and we just want some revenge.
Any chance
Eli comes back out for the 3rd, or is it Carr-time? And if it is Carr, will we still see Ward, I think he needs 5 more yards for 1,000?
Yep
But that was Koets, who never plays, and won’t in the playoffs, so I am not worried about it. That ‘hold’ on Hixon was a phantom penalty.

That FOX sideline reporter looks a little frighteningly similar
to Mann Coulter.
Save the neck for me, Clark.
Ward
If he has a big second half he could lead the team in rushing. Congrats to him and Jacobs for becoming the 5th 1,000 yard tandem in NFL history
wow
nice play. Carr to Darcy Johnson – a play I never hope to see in a non-week 17 game for the rest of my life
Darcy Johnson
needs to take that first down signal and stick it in his pocket, or somewhere else less complementary. I freakin ’ hate that showboating crap, especially from a scrub.
lol @ that female Vikings fan
who couldn’t figure out what happened on that play
Save the neck for me, Clark.
I think "Baldy" waves that finger around
like it’s some kind of war trophy.
And no, I’m not referring to Brad Childress.
Save the neck for me, Clark.
Playoffs?
Would would you rather face the Bears or the Vikings?

Great Signature by the way
very funny.

I'm amazed at all these playoff teams losing today.
Or in danger of losing anyway.
Save the neck for me, Clark.
that sucks
but as far as losses go, that’s about as good as they get. I mean, we barely lost despite playing our backups the whole second half and no Jacobs the whole game. Still, I wanted to win that…
Loss
But who cares? Played pretty well except for two big plays on defense (and one was when a guy fell down). Got a lot of good things done, and now it’s on to the playoffs.

I know it's not important
but if the Giants do win the Super Bowl, it would have looked much better in future years to look back at a 13-3 team than a 12-4 team. That one win separates decent SB Champs from the ones that get talked about for years.
What sucks more is Tampa losing.
Morons. Now either Dallas or Philly will be in the playoffs.
Save the neck for me, Clark.
did you see the last play
Garcia held the ball for about 2 hours and got sacked. Pathetic. You’ve gotta get rid of the ball in that situation. Well, I’m rooting for the Eagles now. They scare me less than the Cowboys.
No they didn't show that here.
I had Drew Brees gagging on a chance to set the passing record.
Save the neck for me, Clark.
This is for the 6 seed, right?
The Falcons are locked into the seed, is that correct? In which case the winner of this plays the Vikings?
Correct.
Hopefully they kill each other.
Because I’d expect the winner will be in great shape to beat the Vikings.
That also leaves Atlanta to play Arizona – should be a win for them too. So Atlanta would move on to Carolina and the winner of this game will play us. Get ready.
Save the neck for me, Clark.
On a random note
I think the most disappointing thing about losing before was that Carney actually missed a field goal. I thought he was perfect…
Yeah had he made it we would have at least forced them to score a TD
and I bet we could have prevented that, but, oh well. On to the next.
Save the neck for me, Clark.
This Eagles-Cowboys game is awesome
Watching the Cowboys implode is thoroughly entertaining, even if it is against my 2nd most-hated team. The gap in my hatred between the Cowboys and the Eagles is bigger than the gap between the Eagles and everyone else
LOL @ Romo
and the Cowboys in general.
Wade Phillips is the most clueless man on the planet. Pacman hands out free points before the half. The QB has the authority to override the coach’s decisions. Whitten and Romo draw up plays for TO now. That whole organization is in disarray.
Come on back, Terry!
Save the neck for me, Clark.
Yep - they just showed him up in his ivory tower
looking like someone shoved a bottle of RealLemon™ where it’s not supposed to go.
Save the neck for me, Clark.
Just LOLLERSKATES
at the Cowgirl performance. Phillips is fired by 5 AM tommorow, almost like an execution before sunrise.
Absolutely.
Despite the nepotism Phillips has enjoyed in his own career, he’s actually a blue collar type of coach, and is the absolutely wrong guy to manage this collection of criminals and prima donnas.
Save the neck for me, Clark.
I know I really shouldn't
and please – at least give me credit for not posting over there – but I had to stop by Blogging the Boys to see how they’re doing today, and mined this gem from the comments:
is phillies D getting tired?
by AustonianAggie on Dec 28, 2008 6:15 PM EST
tired of running back td’s

+ +
lollers!
Save the neck for me, Clark.
yea
I’ve been reading their boards for the last hour. It’s hilarious.
The best thing about today: The Eagles won’t fire Andy Reid or get rid of McNabb, and the Cowboys might blow things up. I think we just clinched the 2009 NFC East title!
Also, with the exception of whatever is about to happen in the next 17 seconds, with the Jets at their own 1, Favre’s last meaningful pass was an interception. That’s twice now his career has ended with a pick. If anyone ever tries to argue that he’s better than Montana, Marino, Elway, or even Manning or Brady, I will laugh in their face.
What a day!
Cowboys humiliated…Pats out of the playoffs…Favre may finally retire for good….Now if only those crybaby Chargers lose my day will be complete…..
