NFL Week #17

Well, keep in mind that so far, no NFC South team has lost to another NFC South opponent at home, and the game is in New Orleans.

Panthers 24
Saints 31

We end with a winning record, the Bucs lose their last game, Panthers still win the NFC South (which is fine with me, they're a good team, and a good bunch of guys).

I'm not so sure about that. It is my understanding that if the Saints beat the Panthers and the "paper tiger" Falcons beat the Rams, the Falcons will win the division.

Well, time to smoke the Browns one more time and pound down the final nail in Romeo's coffin. I just hope no one gets hurt in this game. Let Lefty play, and have Ben watch from the booth up above.

I'd like to see Jeff Garcia and Derrick Brooks make it to the playoffs. I hope it works out so the Buc's get in. Matt Ryan in Atlanta will have his chances down the road. Garcia and Brooks are about done. Both of those guys are class acts, so it would be nice to see them make a run in the playoffs maybe one last time.

No offense taken Jon :D

I really appreciate everything you do every day for this country of ours, so if the Jets winning makes you feel better even for a minute, then lets go J-E-T-S, Jets, Jets, Jets :bassist:

Happy Holidays to you and all who serve so well ... :cool:

This morning it dawned on me that the Miami/NY game got flexed, so HOPEFULLY the Pats will have already won, thus knocking the Jets out of playoff contention before the game even starts. So...all things considered, it's Miami's game to win, if they want to seal the deal. While I know that they've had a VERY easy schedule and the majority of the teams they've beaten have had losing records, I've still gotta give them props for coming this far after a 1-15 year. And Favre gets the Pro Bowl ahead of Pennington? Get Real!

Since Miami's dinged up in the D, I'm going to say 20-14, Fins. Sure would be a great finish after that abortion last year!!!!

At least us Pack fans won't have to put up this year with the "Will He?" "Won't He" that could become the fiasco it was for the last 4 years in Green Bay. [Invalid or Expired Link Removed]

Actually, I think the Browns might beat the Steelers this week. The game means nothing to the Steelers, and most of the starters have already said they'd like to have the extra rest to heal up the bumps and bruises.

I just don't think their hearts will be in this game. Conversely, I think the Browns are going to be sky high, thinking this is their chance to break the curse and get that monkey off their backs so they can start next season with some confidence.

I agree Jeff. I would not be surprised if we drop this one. It almost has the feel of a pre-season game. Then again, it is the Browns, so there may be some guys not wanting to drop one to our main rival.

Is anyone else reading the recent news clippings on Plaxico? I heard he is getting sued for a car accident with a woman in Florida. Apparently his auto insurance had lapsed, so he was without coverage on the day of the accident. I'm sure he'll get taken for a nice wad of cash in that one.

Then the police search his home the other day and find a few more weapons and ammunition. No word on if those weapons were legally his or not.

Wow, he is circling the drain with a quickness. Poor guy.

Poor guy nuthin'! I have little sympathy for self-inflicted stupidity, and even less sympathy for a repeat offender of stupidity and bad choices.

Oh, and I'ma take the Browns on Sunday. Pittsburgh is gonna play safe (Jaysus I hope so anyway! :rolleyes:), and the hapless Browns will see the opportunity.

Oh yeah, I'm not a big Pats fan, but I think it's unbelievable that Wes Welker get's fined $10,000 for making a snow angel. Shaun Ellis received the same fine for throwing a huge chunk of snow into the stands.

I saw both of those acts... And to see the fine is equal is just beyond assinine! Ellis should be suspended, there should have been no fine for Welker (and I am NOT a Pats fan either!).

To quote Charlie Brown.......... Good Grief!!

Now Roy Williams is complaining about HIS lack of opportunities:

Anybody want a couple of receivers? They run sloppy routes, have pretty dicey hands, don't fight for the ball, get timid over the middle, and bitch constantly. Anyone? Hello?:(
