Hell naw!Greatest day of football ever!
After 9 years of complete mediocrity Dre finally got into the playoffs
No reason to think you won't be here next year. NFC East is a joke, Bears suck if Cutler goes down, Has Atlanta won a playoff game under Smith? Tampa Bay and Minny aren't there yet. Carolina may be your only threat.

Part of the problem is the pussification of the NFL. If you hit a homer and grandstand your way around the bases, the next batter up is going to get chin music. In hockey, if you run a star into the boards, you can be sure that your own star is going to take a shot the next time he's on the ice.
So this racking up the score and piling on has no repercussions. Sure, Suh could come in and stomp on Brees on the next play, but he'd get tossed out and suspended. Part of the reason guys like Brees are setting records is because their unis are still clean at the end of the game. They're still fresh. Defenses aren't allowed to beat the living hell out of offenses and win the war of attrition. It has become a game where you hope your D can stop the O once the field shortens in the red zone.
Thankfully, Tebow will grace your screen tomorrow!
Saints/Giants NFC Championship
good game Lions fans. I know there was some fucked up reffing in this game but you guys hung with us and were a legitimate threat. I really respect the talent of your team and what you have accomplished. You need to be proud of your team because they played with pride and really look like a yearly contender. I think your defense is good but this league is now so pro-offense its kind of ridiculous. I wish you luck next year.

The Lions are now 0-6 this year against playoff teams. Team on the rise!

i know it's obvious but the lions should really spend their entire draft on D. i wouldn't even say d-line is off limits. lions have no true pass rushers and so when they go with a 4 man line and cover, they get nothing and get picked apart
Well you don't count!
This game is gonna be uglier than Big ben pimple ass.

If the Lions suck, the Bears must be abysmal.

Except interior D-Line right? I mean, it'd be hilarious to see them draft another one just for the lulz.

i wonder who the saints will be playing in the NFC title game. on one hand, you would say the packers rematch. on the other hand, what if a team like the falcons beat the giants and then made it to the nfc title game? could the saints beat a team THREE times in one year?
i will be exciting to see what happens in the divisional between the falcons/giants @ packers while the saints get their bye week

It is unarguably a worse sport than it was just 10 years ago. But all the other sports are so terrible in comparison, I continue to watch
unarguably, sure.
No, unfortunately we seem to always run into the teams that end up winning the NFC.

All the Saints have to do to win next week is take out one of Akers' knees during kick-off.
Good game, Saints and Saints-GAF. Well...good 3 quarters at any rate, I'm genuinely embarrassed by that 4th quarter pull-away.
Still, the Saints played better when it counts most and deserve the win. Good luck in the next round.
As for the Lions, this is not the sendoff I wanted at all. I'm okay with losing given that the team was already "ahead of schedule" for what my expectations were this season, but getting blown out in the end, both in this game and the defensive meltdown in Green Bay, causes me to walk away from what's been a really good year with a very sour taste in my mouth (FMT jokes notwithstanding). The defense underwhelmed, to say the least, and it's hard for me to say with 100% confidence that things will get tangibly better on that.
2011 is in the books for us now. Well, at least we had one more week to fend off draft talk.

The hell you talking about? The media told me that Brees is birthing another baby for his Super Bowl victory speech!
Suh and Fairley are busts
I'll be laughing at Tebow and the Falcons tomorrow.

I have club level tickets to the game tomorrow. I can't wait to watch the Steelers lose to Tebow and his disciples. I'm guessing a lot of Steelers' fans have that sinking feeling but don't want to admit it.
IT SHALL BE EPIC.

1-6

Not too many... a few have already converted to Saints fans.
are you arguing "unarguably"? b/c I thought "inarguably", but Firefox says that's not a word
A sour ending to a good season. We have glaring deficiencies we must address for us to compete for the SB. The o-line and our secondary are especially weak.
No. That's a poor assessment.

Before or after Tebow destroys the Steelers?
Looks like Payton was asked about PT straight away.
Lions had the toughest scheudle for anyone in the playoff. With a 23 year old QB who scored 41 TD and 5000 plus yard.
It feels good.
Cool.
Eznark and the other doubters can suck it, I'm not going anywhere.
Got nothing better to do, anyway. *shrug* Laughing at Tebow will be fun tomorrow.

This is what I said earlier this week. I knew the run game was going to be the difference.
That's placing a lot on one guy. What's stopping NO from running on Detroit? I would worry about that first of all. If the running game has any semblance of success, the passing game is going to open right up.
