You talkin' about the playoffs? PLAYOFFS? The play.. the PLAYOFFS?!

I like the Jags a lot. I can see them giving the Pats some trouble. I really want to see Brady and Belichick go down. I freakin hate them. Yes I'm a Jets fan... lol.

yeah, the Jags could give the Pats some trouble, which is why i wanted the Steelers to win last night. i would like to see the Pats go 19-0 this year

Why not? I wouldn't expect a good game--the Colts could easily take care of the Giants--but I would certainly watch it (and I'm not even a big Peyton fan).

You would rather watch Brady celebrate instead?

He's saying if that happened, it's because the "game" is fixed. I would probably think the same.

You're right..It's a fix..Gooddell called down to Coughlin..He told him to let Butler bite on the underneath to Welker so that Moss can go down the sideline and get the TD :rolleyes:

And pay attention to the game in Indy on Sunday.I guarantee a "phantom PI" call or two...

I think that they should do a remake of that Payton Manning commercial for Sprint (or whatever) when he is going down the hall and sees his receiver being surrounded by sharks and he sees himself as a little kid and he says to himself to check to his hot receiver.

This time, have Eli in the same commercial, but because he thinks like Bubba Gump he sees himself playing in a sand box with a Tonka toy or something and gets sacked.

HAHA!! Oh come on, leave Eli alone lol. It's got to hard very hard living in Peyton's shadow. But that's a hysterical idea for a commercial nevertheless.
 
There should be some kind of rule in the NFL...You can't do any kind of commercial until you actually win something..
I was going to buy one,but I just can't

That's the NFL's wet dream..Let's hope they don't try and "orchestrate" it..

Sounds like hell on earth. Imagine the media circus that is the Super Bowl being even worse. I'm really hoping that one of them gets knocked out next weekend so that we don't end up with a week of speculation even before the Bowl teams are decided.

Is that really possible? :p

I could live with the Manning Bowl, but I'd want the Giants to win. That being said, I believe the Giants have a better shot at getting there than the Colts.

i agree with him, they should have not been eligible for the playoffs. The Pats got caught cheating, and they should have suspended for the playoffs.

lmao

The NFL never said they cheated. Stop listening to the tools on ESPN.

And besides, violating a taping rule in the first 10 minutes of the first game of the season really had an effect on them going 16-0. :rolleyes:

There is a lot we don't know since the NFL covered everything up so fast. I wonder what was really going on. But that is old news now.
 
The Jags need to be more concerned with:
Facing an MVP QB who's playing at an insane level now
A spread offense featuring Moss and Welker
A balanced running game
Playoff experienced coaching
Four things they didn't face Saturday night....
 
Joe Gibbs is out... who is next for Danny Snyder's little NFL experiment?

Bringing Vince Lombardi back from the grave?

Gibbs retires as coach, president of Redskins

Associated Press

Gibbs to Retire as Coach of the Redskins
WASHINGTON -- After the toughest season of his Hall of Fame career, one that tested his leadership like never before, Joe Gibbs is stepping down.

He retired as coach and team president of the Washington Redskins on Tuesday, three days after a playoff loss ended an inspirational late-season run that followed the death of safety Sean Taylor.

Gibbs will remain as a special adviser to owner Dan Snyder and was to discuss his retirement at an afternoon news conference at Redskins Park.

The Redskins will search for a new coach immediately. Among the certain candidates are two former head coaches on Gibbs' staff, Gregg Williams and Al Saunders. The new coach will be the sixth since Snyder bought the team in 1999.

Gibbs went 31-36, including 1-2 in the playoffs, after emerging from NFL retirement and his NASCAR career to sign a five-year, $27.5 million contract in 2004. He had always maintained he intended to fulfill the contract, but the 67-year-old coach wavered from that stance Monday when asked if he would return for the final year of his deal.

Gibbs' retirement brings an apparent end to a coaching career in which he twice raised the Redskins from mediocrity into a playoff team, although he failed in his goal of bringing the team back to the Super Bowl during his second stint in Washington. Gibbs won three NFL titles during his first stint from 1981-92; the second time he took the team to the postseason in two of his four seasons.

His decision to leave follows perhaps the best coaching performance of his career. After the death of Taylor on Nov. 27, the Redskins lost a game to Buffalo in which Gibbs was flagged for a vital 15-yard penalty for trying to call back-to-back timeouts in the final moments. Gibbs said he wasn't aware of the rule, giving more fodder to the argument that his game management skills had waned.

But, following Taylor's funeral, Gibbs and his team rallied to win the final four regular-season games, going from 5-7 to 9-7 to claim the final playoff berth in the NFC. The emotional run ended Saturday, when the Redskins lost 35-14 at Seattle in the wild-card playoffs.

"It was the toughest [season] for me," Gibbs said Monday. "When you go through a season like that, for a while it's kind of hard to regrasp reality."

Gibbs has also endured a personal crisis for a year. One of his grandsons, Taylor, was diagnosed with leukemia last January at age 2. Gibbs frequently talks lovingly about his "grandbabies," and he made an overnight trip to North Carolina on Sunday to be with his family, interrupting the postseason routine of meetings that usually follow the final game of the season.

Still, for much of the season, Gibbs seemed intent on returning to coach. Players and coaches said publicly and privately over the last week that they would be shocked if he didn't stay on to finish the job. Last month, he said he would be open to discussing a contract extension so that he would not return next season as a lame-duck coach.

At a news conference Monday, Gibbs spoke about plans for next season -- the team's approach to free agency, offseason workouts and the possibility of an open quarterback competition at training camp -- as if he were going to remain on the sidelines. However, he hedged when asked if he would definitely be back, saying it would hinge on his meeting Monday night with Snyder.

"Everybody's situation will be taken into context here -- including mine, and my future here and all that," Gibbs said Monday.

Gibbs went 124-60 during the regular season and 16-5 during the playoffs during his first term with the Redskins. He won Super Bowls following the 1981, 1987 and 1991 seasons with three different quarterbacks.

Having said repeatedly that he did not intend to coach again, Gibbs was inducted in the Hall of Fame in 1996. Snyder lured him out of retirement four years ago to rescue a franchise that had floundered for more than a decade, having made only one playoff appearance since Gibbs' first retirement.

Gibbs' last four years were down-and-up, down-and-up. He had his two worst seasons as a coach -- 6-10 in 2004 and 5-11 in 2006 -- but he also led the Redskins to the playoffs with late runs in 2005 and 2007.

His final career totals: 171-101, including 17-7 in the playoffs, a career .629 winning percentage that ranks third all-time behind George Halas and Don Shula among coaches with more than 125 wins.
