WTF happened to Greg Jennings?

He's absolutely killing me in my fantasy finals. 2 yards? I saw him drop 3 balls in the first half alone.

BRUTAL!

First downs.....14-1 in favor of GB.

I know a lot dont like Chris Collins color commentary, i think he is terrific. Bryant Gumbel on the other hand is a complete twit. Awful.

Ive always liked Chris Collinsworth. I think he says it like it is, and he's entertaining to listen to. Bryant Gumbel's absolutely BRUTAL! What made a guy with a voice like that decide he can be in broadcasting?? My 13-year old cousin has a deeper voice than him

Dis, I can't believe you picked the Raiders in the pool!

so several weeks ago I said that they should send rodgers out to get experience. The year was a write off so why not give him experience. Well, GB didn't and now next year they will either have a lame duck HOF'er at QB or someone who has probably forgotten how to take a snap. GB and OAK are in a tough race to see how many years of a rebuilding period they have. The funny thing is that both teams make great strides to dig themselves a deeper hole.

You suggested doing it the week in which they did put him in the game. He brook his foot that day and is out for the season. You got your wish and the guy got injured in like 10 plays. Sheesh...some people have no clue.

AT least the better team won in the end, and if that is Favre's last hurrah at Lambeau, it was a win....and unbelievably keeps their playoff hopes alive.

Not bad for the "joke of the league"!!

If you had told me at the start of the year that in week 16 that I would be putting 14 and 13 points on Green Bay and San Francisco to win their games I would have said you were crazy.....It's been a crazy year in the NFL.

Please do not compare the Packers to the Raiders. The Packers had a very legit shot at the playoffs this year (and still do have an outside shot) Aaron Rodgers instead of being thrown into the fire as a rookie has got to learn under one of the best QB's ever to play the game. Phillip Rivers played just as much as Rodgers before this year and he's doing great with SD.

The Packers have a franchice LB in AJ Hawk, a defensive lineman that arguablly is having the best year of all defensive lineman, a prow bowl #1 WR, along with the youngest team in football that has improved big time from the start of the year. They have all that to build around. Tell me what do the Raiders have? No QB, No Running Game, a ****ed off Randy Moss, and 2 freaking wins!

I've been throwing up for 3 days straight now......I think that's why.

flames_1987 · 12-24-2006, 12:12 PM

Amazing run by Jones Drew today after NE thought he was down, what a weird play.

The Colts again come out like absolute crap on the road. 14-14 with 3 minutes left in the half, if this team doesen't get that bye, I really don't see them going anywhere in the post season.

Pitt down 14-0 to the Ravens, looks like this could be the end for the ex- champs

Displaced Flames fan · 12-24-2006, 01:03 PM

Man, I wish Addai hadn't hurt that ankle last week. Totally scared me out of starting him in my final today (a decision I stupidly forced myself to make Thursday). His replacement got me .2 points on Thursday.

Fortuantely my opponent is tanking big time. The bulk of my team goes this afternoon.

Displaced Flames fan · 12-24-2006, 01:27 PM

A little surprised by the Saints. It's 20-7 right now. I thought they'd have trouble on the road in a difficult place to play against a desperate team that can, at times, be pretty dynamic offensively.

So far, so good for NO. Impressive.

habernac · 12-24-2006, 01:46 PM

the score is flattering the Jags today, game is going down to the wire, NE up by 3.

The Colts choke and lose to the terrible Texans. I love it!

The Giants are bums.

I have only 1 thing to say.

Vince Young is clutch. TITANS!

Yep, the Colts are doing their typical late-season/postseason collapes.

habernac · 12-24-2006, 04:56 PM

hahahahaha! How many dropped passes for Branch today? 5? 6? Renegotiate this, loser....

rubecube · 12-24-2006, 05:40 PM

HAHA! Stupid ****hawks.

flames_1987 · 12-24-2006, 05:53 PM

Wow...great game Indy

The only chance this team has of going anywhere in the postseason is if Manning is absolutley perfect. Sanders coming back will help, but it will literally take Peyton scoring on almost every drive for this team to have a chance to win. I'm not giving up on this team, I'll stick with them through it all, and if anyone can win games purely by themselves it's Peyton, but right now it doesen't look good at all for Indy.

Dick Jauron is an idiot

Bobblehead · 12-24-2006, 06:10 PM

Quite the finish to 2 games this afternoon. The Bengals finish reminded me of the Saints flub from a couple years ago.

Yeah, I was watching that and figured, he's learned Holmgrens system of how to drop key catches remarkably quickly.

Still at 8-7 the Stupid Seahawks have clinched that division which is pathetic. The whole NFC is pathetic as 7-8 has you in one of the wild card spots. Mind you the AFC isn't that much better as about 5 teams are now 8-7 for the second wild card spot. I'd like to see Tennessee actually grab it. Of late they're the team who wants it.
