Run OB, you moron. Giants are taking lessons from '04 Philly's 4th quarter plan in the Super Bowl, I see.

The NE run defense scares the hell out of me for the playoffs, especially considering every AFC team (aside from Pittsburgh now that Parker is out) has a really good running game. Thing is, those teams need to keep it up for all four quarters; every team that's given NE a game has done so until the fourth when they suddenly implode. EDIT: Why the hell didn't the Giants run when they had the LEAD?

And....the Giants implode. EDIT: Kevin Faulk = fucking beast.

Indeed, the NFL is coming out of this looking like fucking geniuses.

I love that it looked like the exact same route as the dropped one. Brady got a lot more behind the second one. So was that penalty on the Giants? Way to inform us, ref.

RECORD x2!!!

And that's a TD right back. They really need to get to the good QB impersonating Elisha tonight. EDIT: THERE'S the Eli we know.

(14.5) New England Buffalo (2.5) Carolina Miami Washington (8.5) Detroit Houston (6.5) (2.5) New Orleans (3.5) Pittsburgh Seattle Cleveland (9.5) (6.5) Tennessee (3.5) Minnesota (7.5) San Diego Arizona (6.5) Kansas City BAL = 19

Correction: Most Western Massholes and whatever New Englanders can't get Boston's ABC affiliate (which will be the only local station carrying the game) won't be able to watch it. And NFL Network is devoting 65.5 hours of coverage for this game (well, the Patriots anyway), including a SIX HOUR pregame show on Saturday.

I guess, but I'm of the mind that once the season is over, it's over and everyone is back to 0-0 for the playoffs. And I think the last month has done enough to slap whatever complacency New England had right out of them. Apparently Belichick tore the team a new asshole during the film sessions this week.

Again, how does losing one game against the Giants on the last day of the season when you have a bye week and are guaranteed one home playoff game with the prospect of another and have 50% of the world loving you and 50% hoping that your knees blow out like old Firestone tires on the highway make a damn bit of difference? And why shouldn't a team set a goal to win every game they play? Isn't that the point? Obviously in other sports it's a near impossibility because of the mass of games, but in football (college, pro, whatever) it is a realistic bar to set. Incredibly tough, but realistic.

Raining Blood kicks my ass on Hard since I still can't figure out a way to quickly strum those strings of really close together notes. And forget about One; it didn't seem too bad until you get to the solo about 2/3 of the way through.

Anyone check out Sidney Crosby dropping the gloves for the first time in his career against the Bruins last night? Kid held his own.

FAST WILLIE~! broke his leg on the second play from scrimmage. Ruh-roh.

So is Mercury Morris sending secret coded messages in his inane rants on ESPN and the radio? Aha, I've cracked the*is shot* .......

Since this thread is focusing on the playoffs and coaches, this video is more than appropriate for the occasion:

(7.5) Pittsburgh (10.5) Dallas (3.5) Cleveland (9.5) Green Bay Houston Detroit (4.5) New England (22.5) Buffalo Jacksonville (13.5) New Orleans (3.5) Minnesota (6.5) Atlanta Seattle (10.5) Tennessee (8.5) (6.5) Tampa Bay San Diego (8.5) BAL = 17

For PS2 and X360, yes. The officially licensed ones run about $50 or so, but you can go the 3rd party route for a little less.

Belichick and Billick respectively. Belichick because 14-0 is 14-0 and the reason his team is so talented is because he's an integral part of the FO along with Scott Pioli; he wasn't just handed these guys. Billick the worst because his team is incredibly undisciplined and the playalling has been nothing short of atrocious at times (see the NE game and Miami game as perfect examples).

Savage becomes King by beating Duggan, followed by he and Sherri beating the shit out of him. THE ULTIMATE GIANT~! I need a still of that closeup about :50 in.

Fuck you, Eli. I think I may need to win out and have about 234232 things go my way to sniff the playoffs.

So, anyone actually watching this Bengals/49ers tilt on NFL Net? Cons: Gumbel back in the booth, Constantine from American Idol butchering the anthem, a shitty team facing a mediocre team. Pros: .... ..... Going to have to give me a minute here....

17,505 for basketball

Well, what do you mean by "miracle crap"? The Colts pulled the SD game out of their ass even with Manning's multiple INTs and Green Bay needed a bomb in OT to beat Denver. EDIT: Yeah, I forgot that Indy lost that game. Still, every team has had off games this year. The playoffs will still be a dogfight since no team is completely unstoppable (yes, even the Pats). This postseason might be one of the best in a long time.
