I'd have rather lost to the Bills than the Fish though. (with the former a good possibility) ...feeling more sick to my stomach than when we had our 1-15 season. A win vs the Steelers and Bears (albeit improbable given the current state of affairs) would easily stem the tide.

Sal...what a fucking prick
If I was that player or one of his teammates and knew it was intentional I would've walked over and beat his ass. About as low as you can get...kind of like spitting in someones face IMO.

Doesn't matter the one's around them keep losing as well. Draft order will have them at six, seven or eight, with Panthers, Bills, Lions, Broncos and Bengals ahead of them.

I want to know WTF is wrong with NFL football players these days??? Two weeks ago the Redskins got their asses kissed by the Giants, but when the game is over they're out on the field kissing, hugging, circle jerking and prayer jerking each other off.
I heard one of the Redskins Giants player "on man it's great to see you again" and give him a hug. Totally forgetting that he was just on a team that got their asses KICK! by them. No pride to come out the next week and do better.
Then yesterday Choice ran down Vick like a little schoolgirl to get an autograph.
I'm not saying that you shouldn't have sportsmanship, but this is a different league than when I watched it growing up. /rant

on to the next one...
Man, Bears fans are sure talking a lot of shit this week considering they just got laughed off their own field by a real super bowl contender. At least we gave the Pats a decent game.
...and our fate was sealed long ago. We are already mathematically out of it. Enjoy beating up our "B" and "C" teams. If you beat us by any fewer than 20 points at what will likely be another "neutral" location you should be embarrassed.

True but that was the Patriots BC: Before Cleveland. After getting smashed by Browns in week 9, they've beaten up on just about every team since. Even with Favre healthy, I'm sure they'd pound the Vikes now.

I would be surprised if the Bears and Packers win 1 out of the next 3.

And again, who said I was ever feeling great about Chicago? They won some good games but that O-line is going to be their downfall...So, I'm not crowing anything.
But, I do take equal glee in watching the Packers and your team fail. So, if they all fail, it's not a total loss of a season.
So again: and and and at the Dikings.

Living the Dream
I think I posted this before, but it needs repeating.
I picked the wrong year to buy Panthers season tickets.
The stadium this past weekend was AT MOST 2/3 full and close for 50% of those in attendance were Falcons fans.
The upcoming weekend is the last home game and it's against the Cardinals. This should be 1 of 2 things.
#1. A vast majority of those in attendance will be Panthers fans
#2. It is their last chance at any sort of victory. Unless the Falcons rest their starters and back-ups in week 17.
I still can't believe I missed their only win of the season.
In some ways, I feel bad for Steve Smith. He's one of the most dynamic receivers in the NFL and he has been given no chance to get anything going. If he doesn't try to leave at the end of the year, he is done. He's got 2 maybe 3 years left in him.

TO blames Bengals coaches
Here we go...
Receiver Terrell Owens says the Cincinnati Bengals' lousy season is the result of underachieving "from the top down," and he particularly points a finger at the coaches.
Teammate Chad Ochocinco asked Owens during "The T.Ocho Show" on Versus cable network Tuesday night why he thinks the team is 2-11.
"I think there's underachieving from the top down," Owens said. "You start with the owner, you start with the coaches. And obviously we as players, we are a product of what the coaches are coaching us throughout the course of the week.
"Of course, we have to go out there and play the game. But in order for us to do what we're allowed to do at the best of our abilities, the coaches have to put the players in the best position."
Owens has been diplomatic for most of the season, which quickly spiraled out of control. He had only one catch for 22 yards during a 23-7 defeat in Pittsburgh on Sunday that was Cincinnati's 10th straight, matching the franchise record for consecutive losses in a season.
In the past couple of weeks, Owens has implied that the Bengals are getting out-coached and not making very good adjustments to opposing defenses. His comments on Tuesday were his most pointed yet.
Wearing a T-shirt that said "I (heart) Keeping It Real," Owens noted that he signed a one-year deal with Cincinnati to improve its passing game and help the defending AFC North champions go deeper into the playoffs. Owens has been productive — he ranks among the league's top six receivers in catches and yards — but the offense overall is in the bottom third.
"Yeah, my frustration pretty much is at an all-time high," Owens said. "I pretty much have been quiet all year, but the fact that I was brought in here to kind of help this team get to the playoffs, and to be where we are right now is very disappointing."
The Bengals have only two winning records in the past 20 years, one of the worst stretches of futility in league history. Owens turned 37 last week and is a free agent after the season. The Bengals have an option to keep Ochocinco for one more year. Coach Marvin Lewis' contract is up after the season.
Owens asked Ochocinco why he thinks the Bengals are 2-11. Only Carolina is worse at 1-12.
"I'm not sure why we're 2-11 this year," Ochocinco said. "But the thing with me is I've become numb to the situation of losing, being that I've lost for such a long time that I have not been able to point the finger on what it really is."
