I suspect this game will a shootout

Hopefully a good one. Big game for both teams

by Deke on Nov 24, 2008 7:32 PM CST reply actions

not so far

In Romo we Trust

I'm not sure who we want to win

If New Orleans gets hot, they could get into the Wild Card race. But if Green Bay is there at the end, we have the tiebreaker…

by mhuff13 on Nov 24, 2008 7:35 PM CST reply actions

I would go with Greenbay

Since I think the only team making the playoffs out of that division would be the division winnner…

by Deke on Nov 24, 2008 7:43 PM CST up reply actions

both teams are rather longshot wildcards at this point

by scottmaui on Nov 24, 2008 8:02 PM CST up reply actions

why, a win tonight by the packers and they are tied for first place with the bear and vikes in their division

by Deke on Nov 24, 2008 8:04 PM CST up reply actions

yeah, and if they win they'll be 6-5

behind one 8-3 and three 7-4 teams, so two teams from the North would have to surpass all of them for a wildcard to come out of the North.

NO would also be 6-5 with a win, but one or two wildcards could come out of the South.

I only see one team coming out of the NFC north, the division winner only

I’ve watched the Panthers and I dont know how they’’re doing it, Delhome has been terrible the three games I’ve watched him…

by Deke on Nov 24, 2008 8:39 PM CST up reply actions

the WC teams

will come out of the NFC East and South.

In Romo we Trust

you better be hoping for the Giants this week against Washington then

by Deke on Nov 24, 2008 8:45 PM CST up reply actions

I'm not worried about Washington

we’ll end up with a better record than them

In Romo we Trust

by Terry on Nov 24, 2008 8:47 PM CST up reply actions

they have a somewhat easy schedule coming up

by Deke on Nov 24, 2008 9:01 PM CST up reply actions

Giants and Ravens could be 2 L's

And I just have a feeling about the Bengals game. They almost pulled out wins against each NFC East team. They’re due one.

by mhuff13 on Nov 24, 2008 9:12 PM CST up reply actions

I'll be hoping for the Giants this week

the Bengals players are pretty close to checking out this season, they have Christmas shopping on their minds

by Deke on Nov 24, 2008 9:28 PM CST up reply actions

Yeah

I can’t figure out all the tiebreakers and such…someone tell me who to root for.

Better return on that KO

Rodgers is rushing his throws, but the packers has got to get a running game going

by Deke on Nov 24, 2008 8:08 PM CST reply actions

Deke, neither of these teams run the ball

In Romo we Trust

by Terry on Nov 24, 2008 8:11 PM CST up reply actions

hence the reason why they have a five hundred record

The packers have Grant, they have been running the ball better lately, that’s what they have to do to win to take the pressure off of Rodgers.

by Deke on Nov 24, 2008 8:42 PM CST up reply actions

The Saints secondary is pitiful.

Their not going anywhere with that back four.

by houseofprime on Nov 24, 2008 8:28 PM CST reply actions

Thats going to be an ugly scene in Philly if Mcnabb starts poorly.

by houseofprime on Nov 24, 2008 8:34 PM CST reply actions

I think McNabb got the start because it's a short week

If they didn’t play until Sunday, I think Kolb would of gotten the start

by Deke on Nov 24, 2008 8:44 PM CST up reply actions

Kolb didn't do himself any favors with his perfomance.

He was almost as bad but thats a tough situation to throw a young qb into.

by houseofprime on Nov 24, 2008 8:51 PM CST up reply actions

the turnover at the one yard line was bad

I never liked throwing a young QB into a game cold unless the starter in injured, I rather wait until they have a week to prepare and gameplan.

by Deke on Nov 24, 2008 8:59 PM CST up reply actions

wow...no D...

come on N.O. hold Ryan Grant for the fantasy squad!

I hope the Iggles start Kolb against us. I suspect he’ll be somewhat comfortable by the time we play if they do but we’ll still eat his lunch….

by Tuna Helper on Nov 24, 2008 8:50 PM CST reply actions

I don't think he'll get comfortable this year at all

Aging offensive line, poor playmakers at WR, and a dinged up running back is not a situation I’d want my QB of the future exposed to

nice play by Rodgers

I’d hate to see Tony stretched out in that position, but that was a great dive for the gl…

by scottmaui on Nov 24, 2008 8:56 PM CST reply actions

This vaunted Green Bay secondary is getting torn apart.

by houseofprime on Nov 24, 2008 8:59 PM CST reply actions

These defensive struggles

are always so boring.

by Elwood62 on Nov 24, 2008 8:59 PM CST reply actions

Last team with the ball probably wins this game

by Deke on Nov 24, 2008 9:00 PM CST reply actions

I'm up 125-123 points in my fantasy game, in a pivotal game with playoff implications

I’m playing with Brees and Colston (who hasn’t done anything tonight or this season) If I somehow wind up losing I may never play fantasy football again.

by DieSlowKeyshawn on Nov 24, 2008 9:18 PM CST reply actions

by the way, my opponent has Donald Driver who has 6 points so far.

However, an interception or two and some incompletions, coupled with a Donald Driver touchdown with a few receptions could make this game very close.

by DieSlowKeyshawn on Nov 24, 2008 9:19 PM CST up reply actions

I guess you're a litte happier now with that play

by Deke on Nov 24, 2008 10:00 PM CST up reply actions

ended up dominating that game, 158-125. I’m now 6-6 and should be a #5-7 seed in the playoffs after next week. My team has by far the most points scored in the league (by over 100 on the 2nd place team) and I was on the verge of missing the 8-team playoffs altogether if I lost tonight. Probably would have been the first time in fantasy history, lol.
