Mean while over in the Dallas game theyre blowing it again. Terrible. Once again letting the Giants make plays they shouldnt be making.
 
G-Men stop Dallas twice with 2 yards to go!! :banana:


Looks like the Gants have gotten that attitude back they have been missing for the last few weeks. Lets hope it stays this time!!!
 
Patrick Willis always looks like a man playing among boys. (no Harry...hehe).

He is so fast and so strong at middle linebacker, he is the perfect compliment for Singletary as a headcoach.
 
It drives me nuts. Thats two drives in a row where Dallas threw short of the first down marker the first time needing 17 yards. Throw it PAST or at least to the marker. And you dont throw short on 4th down come on Romo.
 
One thing I do not understand about Dallas, they have an offensive line that is HUGE and two pretty good running backs. Why do they not run it? Mind you am happy as a Giant fan but as a football fan it would make much more sense to play to your apparent strength.

They have 3 pretty good RBs. Still do not understand why Felix does not get the ball. He is leading the league in yards per carry.

They just get sacked...hehe
 
Whoever does the schedule at the NFL is a hater for sure. They always give Dallas a killer schedule at the end of the year. Why cant we have some KC, Oakland or Cleveland at the end of the year. No, we get SD, Philly, Washington, New Orleans... were done.

I know! Thats the problem. No wonder our record in December sucks, look who we always end up playing! :banghead:
 
At least they get a gradual toughness into the season. They should be playing some of their best football now, as long as the injuries don't nickel and dime them.
 
Or it could be that as they start playing harder teams they get exposed in that they are not as good as people thought.

They look nice piled on Favre or intercepting his passes. Interesting game. If you can control Jared Allen you can control the Vikings defense. Favre is having his first poor game of the year.

I couldn't believe the score when I turned it on, and they are just keeping it up.
 
Warners numbers were sick in first half, something like 15-20 for 200 and 3 TD's. And I like the red uni's. But they just made the Vikings look terrible.
 
Big game for the Packers tonight. If they can put a fourth W in a row on the board they will have to be taken seriously. AZ showed how the Vikings can be beat, the Saints have just squeaked by in a couple, and Dallas does not look good at all.

The Packers and the Eagles as wildcards are right there. It's getting interesting down the stretch.

Kevin
 
The Packers look pretty darn good. Me hopes it continues into the second half....and beyond.

Portis done for season; career may be in limbo too

ASHBURN, Va. (AP) - The season is over for Washington Redskins running back Clinton Portis. Now he's left to contemplate where he might play next — and whether he will play again. Portis was in a reflective mood Tuesday after the Redskins placed him on injured reserve. Doctors have yet to clear him from a concussion he suffered a month ago, and he sounded like a player with a very opened-ended future.

"I think I'll get well," Portis said on his weekly radio appearance on ESPN980. "I have to put the time into rehabbing and continuing to do what the doctors say, but at the same time, to have the opportunity to play for eight years and play and compete and not miss many games ... if it's my time and I look back today, I think I had a great career. No one wants to finish on an injury, but at the same time I enjoyed it and I would love to come back."

Portis was hurt in a helmet-to-helmet hit against Atlanta on Nov. 8 and since struggled with vision problems and dizziness. He spent Monday and Tuesday making a return visit to a specialist in Pittsburgh.

"They told me they weren't going to clear me," Portis said, "and that I needed to go see an optometrist and get my eye better. ... Doc feared if I took another hit like that, it could get worse."

Portis' season ends with a career-low 494 yards rushing on 124 carries and one touchdown. Although only 28, he already has 2,176 carries, third most in the NFL since entering the league in 2002, and was already showing signs of wear and tear before the concussion. Both the Redskins and Portis' agent gave upbeat assessments Tuesday about the running back's playing prospects. Team executive vice president of football operations Vinny Cerrato issued a statement that said: "Clinton's prognosis is good and we expect him to make a full recovery and return to the Redskins."

Portis' representative, Drew Rosenhaus, said via Twitter that he's been assured by Portis' doctors of a complete recovery by the 2010 season and that he is "very optimistic" about Portis' future with the Redskins. But the Redskins are also 3-9, and owner Dan Snyder is expected to make major changes in the offseason.

"Do I think there will be change? I do," Portis said. "And if I'm part of that change would I be sad and devastated? I won't. I think I'm appreciative of everything Mr. Snyder and the Washington Redskins have done for me, the opportunities they gave me.

"I'm 28, man. I'm not going to be devastated: 'Oh, man, football is over.' I enjoyed it. I had fun doing it. I gave everything I had doing it. I did it to the best of my ability. The day that I sit down and I look back on my career I think I will enjoy the highlights. If I get to continue and I'm not in D.C. and I have to play for someone else, I will give it all I got there as well."

Chiefs may blackout first home game in almost 19 years.

Chiefs face blackout possibility

BY THE CAPITAL-JOURNAL

The Kansas City Chiefs must sell another 3,500 tickets for Sunday's game with Buffalo before noon Thursday to avoid the first local TV blackout since Dec. 16, 1990, the team announced Tuesday. The team has not had a game blacked out in the Kansas City market, which includes Topeka, for a streak of 155 games.

"This has unfortunately become a more common occurrence in several NFL cities this year," Chiefs official Mark Donovan said. "The possibility of a blackout is caused by a combination of the current economic climate, inclement weather in December, a non-divisional opponent and our record."

NFL teams must sell a designated number of tickets by noon Thursday (Central time) unless given a 24-hour extension by the league. A local blackout would prevent CBS affiliates WIBW in Topeka and KCTV in Kansas City from carrying the telecast. But it also prevents subscribers to DirecTV's NFL Sunday Ticket who live within the 75-mile blackout area from receiving the game via satellite, Chiefs officials said.

Well, the second half was ugly, but they did Git-R-Done. This week's game is huge. Since our competition for the playoff spot is likely to be the Eagles, Giants, Cowboys, etc, we need a better conference record than the Giants or Eagles to win a tiebreaker.
