While you are grinning ear-to-ear that the Colts are 12-0 and have tied the Patriots regular season wins record at 21 games, take a moment to talk and chat with friends while you watch the afternoon games. Most early games are final, except the Saints and Redskins, which is turning into a thriller.
Finals:
Saints 33 - Redskins 30 (less than 2 minutes in fourth quarter, Saints with ball) Drew Brees hits Robert Meachem for 53 yard TD to tie game with 1:19 left. [UPDATE]: Saints missed a long FG in an attempt to win it in regulation. FG was short. Game going into OT.
[UPDATE]: Saints kick a game winning FG after getting the ball in OT on a very questionable Redskins fumble. Absolutely crazy game.
Panthers 16 - Buccaneers 6
Dolphins 22 - Patriots 21

The best part about this Saints game
is if they pull out the win in OT you’ll hear all about their staggering comeback and nothing of the gift missed FG. The Colts get a gift 4 and 2 but the Saints will have worked hard to make him miss that FG.

Exactly
The Saints (WTF!!!!) win close games because they find ways to win in the 4th Q, but the Colts are just lucky because teams always seem to lose the games they play against the Colts. Shannon Sharpe and Boomer Esiason are a waste of oxygen.

I mean, seriously, the Steelers are normally a good team. But they seem to be imploding at the end of the season here. Is Big Ben still hurt or something? Are they missing some players?
I’m just flabbergasted. Pittsburgh is one hell of a team. What’s happening? I don’t follow them close enough to know what’s wrong.

It's blatant arrogance and lack of accountability for mainstream media...
If anyone listened to the media coverage before this game it was almost like the Titans were favored by the “experts”, as another poster mentioned. Now, the media will cover their tracks, not be held accountable for their opinions before the game, and continue to downplay the Colts success against a team that was on a roll.
Look, I didn’t believe all the hype about the Titans. I thought they were overrated and overplayed based upon a SHOCK 5 game winning streak… again… 5 GAME WINNING STREAK. How unbelievably powerful and all the NFL should shudder. That isn’t what it sounded like from the media though… they played it like ti Titans were amongst the toughest teams in football, a terrible matchup for the Colts, and annointed them the most likely to upset the Colts this year coming into this game. Now they downplay it all. It’s frustrating… and probably why BBS feels the need to point out their stupidity on a regular basis.

I don't give two craps what the media thinks

Visit FanIQ.com for sports news, bloggings, polls, and more!
I don't either MrNFL
That said, the mainstream media downplays any other source for analysis, IE blogs for not being held accountable. Writing under pseudonyms, not being real journalist, etc. are mentioned as reasons why the blogs are filled with people who are sitting on their couches in the basement building up a false relevance in their beer-stained wife beaters.
We have sharply dressed, highly paid “experts,” who are given air-time in big media, whose opinions are supposed to be giving greater credence based upon formerly playing in the NFL, coaching in the NFL, or covering the NFL for decades. Here they are, with their faces plastered everywhere, with their opinions spread like wildfire and when blogs call them out for stupidity they downplay the relevance of bloggers.
Wouldn’t it be better if these “real journalists” or “experts” acted as such and took accountability when they say stupid things, make wrong predictions, or hate on a team? Wouldn’t it be better coverage, or even entertainment in the mainstream sports media if the experts were actually challenged by those covering the NFL for their pre-game statements? Shouldn’t it be that way?
One would think so. But it isn’t. And it’s the non-traditional sports news media that is bashed for a lack of accountability. How disappointing.

Wow. NFLN.
Quote from one of the analysts:
I don’t think the Colts will make the Super Bowl this year… that doesn’t make me a Colts hater….I think both the teams in the NFC – the Vikings and the Saints – are better.
Doesn’t make him a “Colts hater”… yeah. It just makes him ignorant. 
------
"How can a pickup truck contain enough mass to unfold into a towering machine? I say if Ringling Brothers can get 15 clowns into a Volkswagen, anything is possible."
But oddly enough...
… that same guy turns around and says he’d pick Manning over Brady as his “franchise” QB if he was to start a team. Huh. Sort of schitzo commentary there.
------
"How can a pickup truck contain enough mass to unfold into a towering machine? I say if Ringling Brothers can get 15 clowns into a Volkswagen, anything is possible."
ok so even if the Vikings and Saints are better
who in the AFC is better? That statement makes no sense at all. Last I checked the Colts have to beat AFC teams to get the Super Bowl, not NFC teams. The stupidity is just flowing flowing from their mouths now
Bob Sanders does not play Hide-and-Seek, He plays HIDE and PRAY-HE-DOES-NOT FIND-YOU!
In retrospect...
I think juxtaposing those sentences was not the best way I could have done things. The talking heads seemed to swtich back and forth between the difficulties of just getting to the Super Bowl, and the difficulties of winning it. I recall what’s-his-name saying that he didn’t think the Colts would get in, and he made noises about Cincinnatti and San Diego, but then they just segued into who could actually win the Super Bowl. Which is where the second sentence came from.
The conversation was a bit free flowing, as you can see.

By the way,
what happened to the Steelers and Patriots? I get in the car, turn on the radio, and suddenly hear that both of them lost. Didn’t see that coming at all.

Steelers are teh suck without Troy
Pats and Saints both sucked it up, difference was that the Phins are actually kinda ok, while the Redskins are hopeless.
Luck is probability taken personally, clutch is probability attributed to individuals.
Thanks for the summary.
That is not a good idea to funnel your entire defense around one player, especially one who smashes people every single play. Or they at least need a suitable backup like we do with Bullitt.

Redskins got screwed too
in overtime the Redskins fullback caught a dumpoff and might have fumbled. It was called down and the replays were too close to call. The refs overturned it and gave it to the Saints. I really don’t know if it was out before his arm was down, but I don’t think they should have overturned it either way.

You didn't read about the "great controversy"?
http://www.star-telegram.com/332/story/1809450.html
“Eli signed the inside of the locker room, the wall,” James said. “He put the score. They ruined our first game. We won’t forget that. It just makes for a more intense game.”If there was any doubt about the authenticity of the signature, Manning put an end to that Thursday when he confirmed that he did, in fact, sign a concrete column in the visitors’ locker room.
“It’s a pretty common thing,” Manning told reporters in New York. “I was asked to sign it; it wasn’t like I just went there and signed it. I didn’t have a pen on me or anything. It was all supplied.”

"How can a pickup truck contain enough mass to unfold into a towering machine? I say if Ringling Brothers can get 15 clowns into a Volkswagen, anything is possible."
Although...
… it’d be pointles to sign the locker this game, granted. It’s at New York this time. Still, though, it’d be great if he went back to Dallas next year and resigned the locker there. =)
