1:00 Chicago at Detroit - A miserable season ends for these two teams. New England at Houston - If NE wins they get the 3 seed. If Houston wins they will have their first 9-7 season and maintain their chance at the playoffs. Jacksonville at Cleveland - Does Mangini keep his job with a win over Jacksonville? Atlanta at Tampa Bay - With a win Atlanta will have the first back to back winning seasons in franchise history Pittsburgh at Miami - A win for either team will keep their playoff hopes alive. San Francisco at St. Louis - A win for SF will give the 49ers an 8-8 season and momentum going into 2010 Indianapolis at Buffalo - Indy will close out the season with their backups. New Orleans at Carolina - Drew Brees will not start N.Y. Giants at Minnesota - Minnesota needs to win and hope Philly loses to get a 1st round bye. 4:00 Philadelphia at Dallas - Whoever wins this game will win the NFC East. If Philly wins they will get a first round bye. Green Bay at Arizona - A possible preview of the NFC Wildcard Kansas City at Denver - Denver tries to keep their playoff hopes alive without Brandon Marshall and Tony Scheffler. Tennessee at Seattle - Chris Johnson needs 128 rushing yards get 2,000 and 234 to pass Eric Dickerson's single-season record and needs just 75 yards from scrimmage to break Marshall Faulk's record of 2,429. Washington at San Diego - The end of Jim Zorn's reign as Redskins coach Baltimore at Oakland -Baltimore is in the playoffs with a win
nice summary of the games. Franceser on the FAN this morning was bashing Bill Polian for last week, and he said this: "He has a temper. He doesn't like arguments where he doesn't get to do all the arguing." Hmmm, what other radio personality has those same character traits? Franceser also told us a few weeks ago that the Jets weren't going to make the playoffs in part because the Steelers were going to run the table. I guess he believed Mike Tomlin. Little did he know, Tomlin has a dog named Hell.
http://www.playoffstatus.com also has the playoff possibilities. Jacksonville could end up with the #5 seed at 8-8 if they win and: Patriots beat the Texans, and Dolphins beat the Steelers, and Bengals beat the Jets, and Chiefs beat the Broncos, and Raiders beat the Ravens :lol: while the Titans are done.
It's interesting that while the playoff teams in the NFC are completely chosen while those in the AFC are wide open (with 7 teams still possible for 2 spots), in the NFC 5 of the 6 teams still have a shot a first week bye (including the Saints guaranteed, of course), while in the AFC this is already set.
Wes Welker just hurt his knee, looks like it could be a torn ACL. Bernard Pollard made the tackle (same player that tore Tom Brady's ACL). The tackle was after Welker twisted his knee though. I don't care if he's on the Pats or not, it sucks to see that.
Dolphins offense - good Dolphins defense - bad Mike Wallace scores but the ball did not quite cross the goal line. Not reviewed.
You know what sucks, I have to listen to Dan Fucking Dierdoff and it's not a Jets game. Man life sucks sometimes.
