Fucking Giants. I was playing Santana too. I think my Fins would own their sorry asses. 5 in a row bitches. By next year we'll be in it. And ferry-ass Tomlinson fucked me up by being hurt. Way to go Chargers. Dead battery mother fuckers.

Best D-Line in the NFL? That is argueably the Bears or Giants, in my opinion.

So how does this work...

The Giants are 10-5
The Skins are 9-6

If the Skins win in week 17 and the Giants lose they will both be 10-6.

How will the Division winner be decided?

I think then the Redskins get the division title and the Giants get a Wildcard......

Because our NFC record is better?

EDIT: Ah I see it now.

We are 4-1 in the division you are 4-2.

If we beat the Eagles that puts us at 5-1 = teh win

atlanta coach mora could be punished

http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news;_yl...v=ap&type=lgns

ATLANTA (AP) -- Falcons general manager Rich McKay said Sunday it's too early to tell if the team will discipline coach Jim Mora for his antics following the team's overtime loss at Tampa Bay.

"Let me get through the weekend," said McKay, who also is the Falcons president. "Right now I just don't know."

The 27-24 defeat on Saturday eliminated Atlanta from playoff contention. After the game, in his regularly scheduled postgame chat with radio flagship analyst Dave Archer, Mora was asked to explain why the Falcons punted from their 24 when facing fourth-and-2 with 1:08 remaining in overtime.

Even though Michael Koenen's punt went 53 yards, Mark Jones' 28-yard return put the Buccaneers in position to win the game on Matt Bryant's field goal five plays later.

According to several team and radio station employees, Mora abruptly removed his headset after hearing Archer's question and threw it to the ground.

Three team employees and two with the radio station, all of whom requested anonymity because they said they feared alienating the coach, said Mora was so angry that he also threw a microphone -- which almost hit Nicole Watson, a sideline reporter with the radio station, in the head.

Watson had given Mora the microphone and headset so he could conduct his usual postgame interview with Archer, who was in the broadcast booth above the field.

Mora did not immediately return a call placed to his cell phone Sunday afternoon.

The Falcons have lost five of seven since a Week 9 victory at Miami left them 6-2 and tied for the NFC lead.

Atlanta, which advanced to the conference title game last season and beat defending NFC champion Philadelphia in the Sept. 12 season opener, blew a 24-17 lead against the Bucs when Carnell Williams ran for a touchdown on fourth-and-1 at the Falcons 6 with 25 seconds left in regulation.

Brady is a passing machine but their defense is nothing to write home about. They give up yards to the offense by breaking down and through penalties.

On average their defense gives up over 400 yards/game including penalties.

The Jets saved my ass. I was losing in the Super Bowl because Brady was 2/1 td/int and my opponent had NE Defense. They were kicking ass until garbage time. Had it not been for the last TD I would've been a pissed MF losing 2 SB's.

Don't confuse last night, after the game was already won, for what they're capable of. The D gave up 32 total yards to the Jets until somewhere in the third quarter, when they obviously backed way off. 32 total yards, with -2 rushing yards. They've been completely shutting down running games for weeks now.

"The Patriots had their fourth straight dominant defensive outing, holding the Jets to 171 yards. In December, New England did not allow an opponent to gain 200 yards in a game."

Dunno - they've always put winning above resting, from what I've seen, but I'd be really surprised if Brady was still in there in the 4th. Personally, I'd rather see the scrubs come in I think.

And how shitty did Flutie look? Jesus, that was embarassing.
