Vince Young IS GOD... Ok.. I believe if we (Titans) beat New England next week, we will make it to the playoffs depending on if the Jets lose,we will run the tables and win the Superbowl baby!!!

Hell no my Giants are basically out of the race at this moment, my JETS have to get in were to good to lose our last two games. Also Cinci has to lose and I believe Jags have to lose out to for the Titans to get in.

Please the god that be that probably don't exist anyway, the Eagles most lose to Dallas and whoever they have left to play, and help Eli play as good as his brother to win his next game, I promise i will stop touching myself.

lol that there can be a scenario that a 7-9 team from the NFC can take the final wild card spot.

What happen to the NFC? Its like the NBA eastern conference.

What happened to the NFC? It runs in cycles man. Look at the AFC when Dallas and San Francisco owned the superbowls. I mean they won like 5 of like 6 just those two teams. Anyway... I believe the AFC drafts better and signs better FAs as of right now. And the AFC owns the NFC in about every game they play.

The AFC just has stronger teams now...

The NFC was strong in the 90's, with the Packers, Cowboys, Vikes, and Falcons.

Well thats superbowls, NiCkC818

And its not like the those NFC teams did not have there AFC counterparts in the Broncos, Bills, Raiders, Chiefs and Dolphins, frogfish. Look back in the records its not like the AFC were out of there league back then

I'm talking about seasonal game it was not like the AFC were playing poorly, they still had there fair share of teams with good winning records in the 90's

How about Ron Dayne shocking the Colts! They better fix their run D if they want to go to the Superbowl.

woot JETS win one more game and the road to immortality is ours.

Frogfish, please I could run for 150 yards against the Colts run D.

Well, barring any major-league upsets in week 16, it looks like the playoff teams will be as follows:

AFC East:: New England

AFC South: Indy

AFC North: Baltimore

AFC West: San Diego

AFC Wildcards: N.Y Jets and Denver


NFC East: Philly

NFC South: New Orleans

NFC North: Chicago

NFC West: Seattle

NFC Wildcars: Dallas and NY Giants


Other than the great come-back seasons of the Saints and N.Y. Jets, it looks like everything else has fallen into place just as expected(I would call Baltimore and not Cincy winning The AFC North a bit of a surprise) other than 1 or 2 surprises(Phillip Rivers playing so well in his rookie "starting" season was a bit surprising, also).....Boy, it looks like The Seahawks won The NFC West by default, lol.....and where are all of those people that were touting The Cardinals for the playoffs?..................probably hanging-out with the same people who thought The Fins would make the playoffs...

You laugh now but the Cards and Dolphins didn't seem like such a stretch at the beginning of the season.

That's the point....


Hey! I'm off their bandwagon now, and on the Titan's! Vince Young is a winner!

The Cards stink..they have stunk..and I don't care what aging, over-the-hill, helplessly past they're prime veteran they bring-in(not to say that Edge is past his prime per-say, but it just dosen't seem to matter WHO they bring-in as a free-agent)..as long as The Bidwells own The Cards, they will ALWAYS suck.

The Fins have QB issues, and until those issues are resolved, they will not be able to challenge for the AFC East crown........but on the bright side, they're not The Cards, lol.

Vince Young and Reggie Bush are making Charlie Casserly look like an idiot........TWICE!!!!

They're are pure winners...whether they produce or not.

They ARE great young(no pun intended) players, and the future quality of play in The NFL looks like it will only get better....it's a win/win situation for the fans..which is just ANOTHER reason why Football(and The NFL in particular) is the most popular and well-run professional sport in N. America.

Most definitely Onyxdk!

Just curious about what everyone's opinion about the statements made by Jason Taylor of the Miami Dolphins and Ron Jaworski of ESPN in regards to Shaun Merriman:



I myself, think he has a point.

I think Merriman should be in the running. He said he had no idea that his supplements were tainted. And the amazing thing is he didn't play 4 games this season and he's still putting up the numbers!

No doubting that he's a great player...but to play the "tainted-supplements" card.. ...I ain't buyin that one, believe me, these million-dollar athletes have trainers, doctors, and personal chefs catering to their every whim, word, and fancy...there is nothing going into their(and the million-dollar investments of the teams themselves) bodies(supplement-wise) that hasn't been checked, re-checked, double-checked and triple-checked, beacuse a player like Merrimen...making the money he's making...not on the field, is a wasted investment(not to mention that if he has the unfortunate happenstance to ingest more "tainted" supplements he gets the boot for a year) and is time away from his team where he could be putting pressure on the passer and making offenses change what they want to do to account for him....no, he knew something was up, the masking agent he used just diddn't work well-enough, that's all.

FACT: Shawne Merriman tested positive for a banned performance-enhancing drug.
FACT: He said it was tainted and he was going to sue the company who makes the drug, he never got around to doing that and took the suspension.

With that in mind personally I think he should not get any post season honors also. I also believe the NFL should not make up rules and regulations in the middle of the season. So he should be eligible for any honor he qualifies for, I just hope that next year the NFL will make life in the NFL tougher for cheaters.

Thing is, he put up the same numbers AFTER the suspension that he put up before...

Thing is, he's good enough he doesn't need to cheat. I dunno, I got mixed feelings on this one.

Playoffs start next week...Who do you all think will make the Wildcard?

And thats a valid point but a cheater is a cheater, are we supposed to just forget about that. I would not like him to get anything, but as i said before the NFL should not make up rules in the middle of the season, but next year players who are caught cheating should not deserve any honors for that season. I also hope they put an asterisk next to his record for this season stating he was caught using illegal performance enhancing drugs.

I agree.

dont know what team to root for

http://playoffs.nfl.com/bandwagon/

I got the Cheifs, if my giants don't make it, BARFS! they ain't even going to the playoffs

did it again and got Da Bears if the Jets fall.

Saints in the NFC!

In the AFC, I would like to see a Chargers/Colts AFC Title game...can't pick a winner though.

My Giants and JETS made it through. I'm so looking for upsets this week. i'm going underdogs all the way.

On the upside, I've just watched the best Fiestal Bowl ever. On the downside, my Sooners were on the losing end.

If The Chargers, having home-field throught The Playoffs, aren't the AFC representitive in The Superbowl it would be MAJOR news, I don't think that there is a team in The AFC playing better right now, and The Patriots(as good as Brady is) would have to go to San Diego to beat them(cross-country), and that is no easy task. So I'd have to look for San Diego out of the AFC(but if I would give a chance to anybody to take them down in the AFC, it would be Baltimore).

The NFC isn't nearly so simple....I like New Orleans...I think that Rex Grossman stll has one more bad game in him this year(unfortunately, that's all it takes in The Playoffs), Seattle is just happy to be there, and if I had to pick out of a hat of Dallas, Philly, NY I would have to go with Dallas(they can run the ball, play good solid defense, and Parcells is no stranger to doing or saying whatever it takes to get to the big game).

God, I hate Lloyd Carr...That was some of the worst playcalling I've seen. Michigan's showing in the Rose Bowl was just pathetic. I feel sorry for all the seniors who have to leave like that...especially Lamar Woodley.

It's a shame, that's true...but Woodley will be just fine at the next level...it's a team game, and the team just diddn't finish the way it should have....but look on the bright side, you could be a UM fan!!!

So raise your hands if you think college football needs to implement a playoff system.

I preface this response with the warning of: The old-schoolers will battle it to the END..until THEIR school gets shafted-outta THEIR shot at the National Title, that is.

That being said....*raises both hands*.

I am a UofM fan....I live 5 minutes away from UofM


*Raises Hand*

I actually meant The Miami Hurricanes....sorry if I upset you Frogfish.

Lol, no you didn't

People I WOULD feel sorry for are FL gator fans...They're gonna be destroyed by OSU!

I recently returned from Texas, where i spent numerous hours watching American football. It was pretty good but not as good as Football or Rugby.

Different People have Different tastes....Sorry football didn't appeal to you more. Texas is a great state for football.

dont get me wrong i liked it and very much enjoyed wathced the long horns "Hook em' Horns", however i love Football (Not soccer, football)............lol

Well, Saban is heading for Alabama, I hope he succeeds...and I know he will....Now, it's time to find a Head Coach for The Fins...*shakes his head*...I realize that The Fins have a tough road ahead of them, but does ANYONE want to coach one of the most storied franchises in the NFL? I mean, it's not like they're the freakin Arizona Cardinals for cryin out loud...sheeeeeeesh.

Yeah there not the Cardinals but then again everyday the Cards look like the hot new young teams to coach in the future. The AFC east is tough no real room for improvement over the Pats, Jets, they even have a tough time playing the Bills. Plus the D is getting old and still no definite QB in the future. The Fins won't be the exciting high scoring Marino glorified team for a long time.

You are NOT cheering me up, and your fired

I agree, they are light-years away from the Marino "air-it-out" years...but those years(as great as Marino was) never produced a Championship either....what I don't understand, is why there so much trouble finding a coach to come in and coach a storied franchise like The Fins, and have a chance to be the toast of a town where(and I don't care if The Heat just won a World Championship) football is, and always will be, king.

Come on Colts!!!
Snuffypuffer you should play soccer for real and see how wussy it is.
nice video.

Speaking of the Cardinals...they're looking for a coach also! So are the Falcons.

Am I the only one who finds it a baffling conundrum that the Cardinals could get THAT many high draft-picks for THAT long a period of time and STILL be inept? I don't care if they named the ghost of Vince Lombardi the new Head Coach, they just seem to be cursed.

They're not as bad as the Lions Fire Millen!!!!!!!

Naw, it's all Joey Harrington's fault...*listens to a whisper from the shadows*...He's not there anymore?......HE'S IN MIAMI!!!???..........oh, good lord almighty.

Matt Millen OBVIOUSLY has "compromising" pics of SOMEBODY in the higher-ups of the organization, it's the only way to explain how he still has a job considering where THEY have been drafting for the past 10 years(see the above post regarding The Cardinals)............it'a GOTTA be Joey "blue-skies" fault!!!

I hope Matt Miller doesn't pick a promising player and screw over his career like they did to Joey.

That's the only consolation for Arizona...They're not the Lions

I guess at this point, you take whatever "little victories" you can get, eh?

Seriouly though, The Fins are talking about Cam Cameron(offensive coordinator for San Diego) and Russ Grimm and Ken Whisenhunt(assistant coaches with The Steelers) as possible Head Coaching candidates in Miami..... .....I wouldn't have a problem with Cameron, he's VERY well respected around the league(young and innovative of offense) or Grimm, I remember Russ Grimm from his days as a "hog" on the offensive line for the old Redskins teams of the 80's and early 90's, a tough-as-nails no nonsense coach who is just as respected as a coach as he was as a player(and besides, who's gonna mess-around with a coach named 'Grimm", lol).....I think either one would be acceptable as a Head Coaching candidate......I DON'T like Whisenhunt, he just reminds me too much of Mike Mularkey(current offensive coordinator of The Fins...A.K.A. Capt. Conservative), too many "trick/gadget plays". I don't think the college ranks are a good place to go at this point(given the recent turn of events with Nick Saban), and while coaches like Bobby Petrino and Kirk Ferentz are very good coaches, people down here in S. Fla. are a little sour on the college ranks.

Dom Capers(former Head Coach of both The Panthers and The Texans and current def. coordinator/assist. Head Coach) could be a possible candidate as well, only beacuse of his familiarity with the current players and coaches...a darkhorse.
