    Teddy B is the best QB of the past couple drafts IMHO. Give him a couple years to develop and the Vikings might just have another Peyton Manning or Drew Brees on their hands.

    Cowboys want to keep the continuity going, so it looks like everyone is going to play against the 4skins and play to win. I don't know if I agree with that especially with Tony's back and Murray's hand.

    So in hindsight there was no reason to pull back on the 4skins.

    He's the best we have had for a longtime for QB.

    Give him protection and a running game to boot and you have a nice offense.

    It feels weird saying this after winning by 30 points today, but I think Manning is spent. He's not getting any velocity on the ball, he's never been a great thrower but seems to be in real decline this year.

    The NFL needs to make a special exception for the Broncos, let them have two quarterbacks. Peyton can call the plays and adjustments at the line and pick the open man, but then needs to hand the ball to Osweiler and let him actually make the throws :-)

    Looks like Harbaugh is officially done in SF, you Seattle fans should be happy about that and I'll certainly be happy about not hearing you all whine about his antics. Meanwhile, as a 49ers fan I'm bracing myself for another half decade of mediocrity...

    Both the Pats and Denver look "beatable" by upset to me. Belichick should be able to pull something out of his hat with home field advantage, but NE has been beaten at home in the playoffs "before"! And that throw away game against the Bills was "ugly", even if so many were not played. On the positive side, the defense looked OK in the second half even though the Bills were playing to win it was pretty much a draw against a no name squad after half-time.

    Rodgers showed a lot of heart in that last game, but I still think Seattle is going to shut him DOWN. Only the Cowboys have an outside chance of edging the Hawks out, but hey, they've already done that this season against a Hawks team that had not yet PEAKED?

    Most dangerous team in the AFC? Probably the Steelers, who might sneak in.

    Who would I like to see in the SB? Cowboys and either NE or possibly the Steelers. Maybe a competitive game. If the Hawks are the opponent they "win" against either of those teams.

    But I really stink at forecasting outcomes. So probably the Hawks and anybody but NE and Denver. They both probably lose at home early, because that IS NOT what I would predict so that's probably what will happen? lol

    (If NE goes all the way, Belichick finds a way to DRUG the Seattle defense as his game plan? The only way he can win that one.)

    Our Texans had a tough year,struggling with injuries and new QBs. Our first round draft pick was damaged goods from the get go. A number of games we did lose were close. The worst game we lost by 13 pts. to NY Giants at their stadium. We ended up getting Case Keenum back as QB to win the last 2 games of our season. Our front office had thought at the beginning of the season to cut Case and go with someone else. All in all , the last 2 games of our season were wonderful and there's always next year. We are all pulling for J.J. Watt to get NFL M.V.P. this year.

    Nadonkeykong Suh just got suspended - for stepping on Aaron Rodgers' leg INTENTIONALLY in yesterday's Packers/Lions game - by the NFL for the Lions' Wild Card playoff game against the Cowboys this coming weekend!! I'm SO happy the NFL did the right thing. What a complete dumba$$ he is!! There is absolutely no place in pro sports for idiots like him!

    It's also about time that the Lions organization got their goons (Suh and Raiola) under control before they seriously hurt, or end the career, of someone out there.

    I VERY RARELY root for the Cowboys, but I will be this weekend!

    Meanwhile AP is still suspended for a misdemeanor for smacking his kid with a switch. The league's discipline policies are so far out of whack.

    I disagree about Manning's arm being shot, he threw a couple of bullets yesterday. What I do believe is that his hand doesn't have full feeling from the neck injury/surgeries. Therefore, when it is cold he will throw more wobbler/weak balls due to grip problems that the glove cannot overcome.

    I think Watt is probably the best pure player in the league, but that's not what the MVP award is about. How can you be MVP of the league when you didn't have enough of an impact on your team to even get them into the playoffs? Keep in mind that alot of his 'highlights' this year came in games they lost. Maybe they lose those worse without him, but the outcome that matters is really no different.

    I'd love to see him get the award, but I don't see it happening.

    So if Watt was playing for the 7-8-1 Carolina Panthers he would be MVP? :)

    On this date in 1967, the Packers beat the Cowboys 21-17 in the Ice Bowl. My Dad was at the game, said he didn't even feel the cold it was so exciting.

    I'm just jerking your chain and yes it usually goes to a QB or RB but I think Witt could probably get it this year.

    gce: the year before the Ice Bowl, the Packers also played the Cowboys and the Packers also won a very exciting game. Those games between Lombardi and Landry were among the best ever in football. It was disgraceful how Landry was treated when J. Jones took over. The Packers organization acted equally classless with Brett Favre, although in the latter case both parties had some blame. In the case of the Cowboys, Landry was a first class gentleman and did nothing whatsoever to deserve that treatment.

    Very true dromunds. I miss the years that the announcers would say "Landry, the only head coach the Cowboys have had" but I'm a Cowboy fan from day 1 and always will be! I just think it was great that they were only 5/6 years old and being able to match up with the best. Love watching those old games with the Packers.

    Hey, if things go right for us we'll have one of those games this year. B)

    Now that was a gutsy call by Barry Alverez for the Badgers on 4th and 1, but it paid off. I hope the Badgers can hold on. Good game so far even though the Badgers have perhaps the worst QB in the high school ranks.

    I'm trying to decide which is the bigger choke, Baylor losing that game or ESPN advertising this playoff system every third commercial for the last two months and then when the game starts their WatchESPN service goes down, which is the only way many people can get that game.

    If you're gonna move something like that off network tv on to a paid service then you better make goddamn sure it works, heads should roll because of something like this.

    Sounds like ESPN really dropped the ball on this. I was pulling for our TCU horned frogs and they basically dismantled Ole Miss, it was the biggest pt. margin between winner and loser in the history of the Peach Bowl. I was a Baylor fan also and expected them to crush Michigan State in the Cotton Bowl, not so though. All in all, I think TCU is a better team than Baylor in 2014 season.
