But yeah, the point remains. I don't think he has a chance in hell of winning the ROY, but boy is he a phenomenal player. 1400+ yards and 11 TDs.

Luck to Hilton! 28-16 Colts on 3rd and 23.

[Flabbibulin]

amazing

[The Big Chill]

Great 3rd and long defense by the Texans. They're done.

[Senator Clay Davis]

I gotta ask...is Kubiak's job in jeopardy? If they fall to the 3 seed and get knocked out in the first round, he's gotta be in deep trouble at the very least.

He should be in jeopardy, but he won't be. He has survived much worse seasons then this one.

Terrible throw again by Matt Schaub. Interception.

[Senator Clay Davis]

How hilarious would it be if the Giants backdoored their way into the playoffs? Funny thing is, would anyone really want to play them in the playoffs?

Isn't he a guy that has been very hit and miss, i.e. a couple of huge games have helped pad some really awful games?

I haven't followed him or the Bucs this year but I did here on ESPN them talking about after his fast start he was averaging less than 3 yards a carry.

I think even with the down year they will still be on quite a bit because the networks are going to stuff RG3 down our necks next year and at least some of those games are likely to involve the 3 other NFC East teams.

Come on Bears get it together.

You had better not lose to the Lions today. I want that top 5 pick and at least a chance that the Redskins miss the play-offs.

[Senator Clay Davis]

Well at least the Eagles didn't totally quit on Andy Reid today.

This is true. He's had terrible consistency.

For the first 6-8 games he was getting 200 yard games at ease. Since then he's had something like an average of 60 yards per game.

[Pierre "Monster" McGuire]

Ugh. Not the way I wanted the Falcons to go into the playoffs, but oh well. Tampa simply shut them down.

Unless the defense can get a touchdown, I think this one's lost. Two weeks to regroup now.

[Flabbibulin]

No 2000 yds for Johnson

[Senator Clay Davis]

Doug started slow, had a ridiculous 3 game run in the middle of the season, and has been decent since but nothing like that 3 game run. Still almost 1,500 yards without two of the teams best offensive lineman almost all season is pretty impressive. He'll be a big time player going forward, especially if Freeman can play consistently.

[OILFAN #81]

Whatever happens from here on in, so proud of my Colts. 2-14 to 11-5 in one season. A ton of awesome rookies in Luck, Hilton, Ballard, Fleener, Allen, etc.

Colts @ Ravens next week in the Wildcard round if the Ravens lose today (they are losing with 3:30 left).

[ResAlien]

Is Flacco injured or benched?

Oh, there the TV said it. Resting him.

[OILFAN #81]

Giants officially eliminated.
