NFL Regular Season 2008

You had to run your mouth about the Giants, and today they blew it!

Don't look now but the winner of the MNF game tomorrow night will only be one back of the Giants for home field.

Well reality set back in and the true feelings of the Jet fan are in full force. After these last 2 weeks i can't even imagine how the Jets get into the playoffs.

Sucks to see the Vikings advance after such an awulf showing.  I hope the Bears can catch them and take the division at this point.

Oddly, I'm kinda glad they lost today.  Like the Monday night loss to Cleveland, this will humble them a little bit and they'll pull it back together.

As much as I want them to beat the Eagles, I'd rather they lose now than in the playoffs or Superbowl.

There are no good losses when you're trying to lock up home field and there are 4 games left in the season.

what was so awful with that?  The Vikes pretty much dominated the 2nd half and are looking like a surefire playoff team.  Stop the run and run the ball  = playoff success

Yeah, "dominating" with nothing but the run on a winless team in what may be the worst division in the NFL.  A 20-16 victory over the hapless Lions is not very convincing IMO.  If the Refs hadn't arbitrarily reversed that Calvin Johnson catch in the 4th quarter, the vikes would have been fighting for a tie at best and could easily have been the first team to lose to the silver and baby blue.  I give them no chance to advance in the playoffs, especially if the Williams Wall is on suspension.

At least they have a chance at the playoffs unlike Favre & the Packers...oh wait...they got rid of him.  Weren't they like 14-2 last year???

You're missing part of your equation.

What's the word on Ferotte and Allen?

Because that team is still going no where with Jackson at QB - even if he was able to lead a drive to beat the stellar Lions.

No word yet...and I think Gus is totally overrated.  While Jackson sucked balls early in the year, I think he would have done just as good this year as Gus would have

I would equate no chance with no chance if you want to compare Packers and Vikings this year.  The purple will just whip their ten remaining fans into a heated fervor for nothing, just like they always do.  Players from both teams will be sitting out the playoffs talking about their past superbowl victories...oh wait, I guess just the Packers will be doing that.

It's pretty funny to hear squabble about whether your chances are better with Jackson or Fur-Rot.  We may have traded Favre, but I'd take A-Rod over either of those guys every day of the week and twice on Sunday.

If you truly have any faith in your team, why don't you go double or nothing with me on them even reaching the SuperBowl?  I'm from Wisconsin, so I won't have any trouble downing a second brew if you ever get back up to the cities.   

[Jesse James]

Go Steelers!  Well, go Steelers D, since they won the game last night and our offense did diddly squat...  Hell even Reed missed a field goal, but we still love the freak.

Jackson wasn't solely to blame though.  The Colts game I was at there were 3-4 dropped balls that should easily have been caught.  Berrian wasn't playing (IIRC) so he didn't have a full complement of receivers either. 

But yeah, I'd take Rodgers over either of them.

I'm not entirely sure it's in the best interest of the Giants to have homefield throughout.  Look at their road record last year!
