I like that matchup a whole lot more than Vikings/Cowboys.

Andy Reid vs. his former prodigy Brad "Dunce" Childress.

Jim Johnson's defense scares me, but it's a much better matchup. Now I get to spend the week seeing how these teams matchup.

What do you think rube?

Time for Tony Romo to go. He can't win a game when it counts (not that it's all his fault today), but i'm pretty sure his team has about zero confidence in him after losing a big game 3 years in a row.

They used to say the same thing about Peyton Manning

Romo just needs to get his head out of his ass, stop reading the headlines, and start working hard again.

Alright, lets see if the Cowboys can get to the red zone again.

Peyton Manning has more talent in his pinky finger than Romo has.

As I type, another Romo fumble.

Yes that's true but don't you remember Manning about 7 years ago?
Labeled a choker. Just saying that with hard work anyone can recover.
I don't know if Romo has that desire.

Romo's not going anywhere, that contract he signed pretty much ties him to Jerry Jones for a long time.

Contracts aren't guaranteed in the NFL. They could cut him tommorow if they wished.

Yes, but they'd take his cap hit in dead cap space.

Want to hear what his cap hit is in 2009?

$9.4 million. And part of his contract was that $6 million of his 2009 salary was guaranteed (unsure if that kicks in after July 1 or not).

Anyone think Romo should have been out of the game 2 drives ago?
What the point of leaving him in there for further embarassment.

I think Favre and Romo are having a contest to see who can be the most overhyped/least clutch QB in the NFL.

I'm fine with it. Jim Johnson is going to get after Tavaris and the run defense is good enough to contain AP. If Reid keeps the offense balanced then there's no reason the Eagles shouldn't win. Mind you, they've been finding ways to lose all season so it wouldn't surprise me.

Congrats to the Dolphins and to a much lesser extent the Ravens.

Great to see that the mighty Patriots, with all their cheating, get to play as many play-off games as the Lions.

Congrats.

I think they out-scored NE on aggregate.

CLE has fired GM and coach Romeo!

Pats will be back in the Superbowl next year. Get used to it.

I'm proud of the Pats this year. Overcame adversity and finished with an amazing record despite losing the best player in the game minutes into the first game of the season. Yeah, the schedule wasn't tough, I know. Cassell also hadn't started a meaningful game in almost a decade.

The divisional games they lost were key. It sucks losing to Favre and then watching him crap the bed like he did today.
