NFL Week #17 End of the 2014 Regular Season

The Seahawks have some payback for the Rams. Time to lock up home field with a little assistance.

 

Packers should have the edge; Seahawks are on a roll and seem destined for Phoenix; Broncos are in the playoffs but more questions seem to arise every game.

NFC winces at prospect of going to Seattle; AFC shudders at playoff games in Foxboro.

 

I would like to see the Steelers beat the Bengals. The Lions haven't won at Lambeau since something like 1966. That string has to end eventually. I wouldn't bet on it happening now, but the Lions are as good as they have been in a very long time. The Packers are the Packers, so there's that. As long as somebody wins, it's good.

I don't like the Patriots or Tom Brady. They will probably win and be the team to beat in the AFC playoffs, but that doesn't mean I have to like them. I put them in the same category as the Cowboys - teams I love to hate.

The Seahawks will make road-kill out of the Rams. I'm not paranoid about this one for a change. That means it's probably a potential trap game, but the Seahawks all seem to remember what happened in St. Louis earlier this season. The Rams made them look pretty inept at times. They won't let that happen again at home.

 

Being a Pittsburgh Steelers fan, I hope they beat the Bengals. The last couple years have not been good for the Steelers. If anybody can beat the Broncos and Patriots at this point, the Steelers have a decent shot at it as long as they don't have more injured starters. Their pass defense has struggled.

 

Lions haven't exactly been on fire lately.... They also haven't won in WI since Seasons 3 of The Simpsons....

I think A-Rodge puts on a clinic and the Packers D runs wild all over Stafford. Pack 42 Kittens 13.

 

No, get it right. Lions haven't won in Wisconsin since the "Iron Man" game back in 1932, when they where still the Portsmouth Spartons from Ohio.

Green Bay 23
Portsmouth 17

 

Phooey!

 

Youre correct. Most fans think if their team has to play in Seattle, they have already lost. The Seahawks have this mystique about them that many fear.

 

Amazing how fast that happened, isn't it?

 

Steelers made the playoffs so I am happy. AFC North doesn't mean sh!t at this point because I am not scared of anyone else in the bottom round, 3rd seed or 5th seed its the same.

The most "exciting" playoff spot to watch is the NFC South. I air quote "exciting" because its not fair to be a sub 500 team in the playoffs just because you won your division.

 

It really is. It wasn't that long ago that Ken Behring owned the team and was thinking about moving it to LA. He ran it down just like the ownership of the Supersonics ran that team down before it got moved to Oklahoma City by a bunch of lying scum. May they never win a championship down there! The difference is that the Seahawks didn't leave town and now do have a championship. They are pretty good again this year, too. It seems like they will be pretty good for a while, so there's the difference between leaving and not leaving: really noisy, disruptive fans who travel well.

 

My son, who is now living in LA, is still a Sonics fan. He can reel off a list of current NBA players who either live in Seattle or spent time in Seattle and who have lobbied for a team in Seattle. They have a fan base here. Oklahoma City? I wish them luck when they are faced with a few years of lousy teams.

 

No, I don't remember that, but I do remember it being imploded. The cloud of dust was impressive. The thought of Ken Behring in that cloud of dust crossed a few of our minds, though. I think Curt Warner had a car dealership somewhere around here. I don't know if he still does, though. Car dealerships aren't something I pay a whole lot of attention to.
