like I've always said, I'm happy if we play meaningful games in December! The December games are what will separate the playoff teams - getting on a roll in December is much better than 4-0 in September!
P.S. Dallas loses to Baltimore this week!

how cool would it be for the pukes to go from 8-1 to 8-3 in 4 days ...

gotta believe ... GO SKINS

I believe!!!

I've started trying to keep track of who we want to win/lose each week going forward to help secure a wildcard spot.

Vikes v. Lions - VIKINGS both teams 6-4 but we have head to head v. Vikings and Lions have it over us
Ginas v. Browns - BROWNS no way in hell, but damn that would be SWEEEET
Atlanta v. Arizona - FALCONS put them out front for the AFC South, drop the Cardinals to 4-6-1 and further out of the playoff hunt
Saints v. Rams - RAMS both 4-6 teams. I'd rather see the Saints drop behind
Seattle v. Tampa - SEATTLE - same situation as the Falcons. Let the Seahawks win their division. Push the 5-5 Bucs down to 5-6.
Carolina v. Oakland - OAKLAND - Panthers aren't completely out of it yet. Would be great to have them out of the race by the time we play them.
Packers v. Philly - PACKERS - I don't even care about the implications. I never want Philadelphia to win.

Any disagreement?

No. Especially want Seattle to win (and keep winning) so the cowpies have to play them in Seattle if it goes that far.

I wouldn't say this but there is a least one person on the board who'd say you have at least 8 favorite teams now.

Looks like right now we'd be @ Lie-Downs in the first round while the Ginas would be at the Felons.

was that "8 least favorite teams .. "

we just showed that we're as good if not better than the pukes

this team is playing in the playoffs

All though we lost. If we make it to the playoffs as a wild card. Win and we get another shot at them.

I'd love another shot at the pukes but we just exposed them and they're going 1 and done in the playoffs

Explain how we exposed them? We still suck in the Red Zone..... we need 6/7 pts not 0/3 in the Red Zone. Granted we heated up in 2nd half.

Our D is slow and poor to react at times. Missed assignments, missed tackles, etc....
Who is FAST on our D?

With that said........ (still and always a fan)

most DCs would have seen that the puke RB can be stopped and that the puke QB is not good enough to win the game

the pukes are not as good as their record indicates and they all act like they're a lot better than they are

we are an OK team that is playing well together - we played on Sunday night, went into their place and lost by 5 after missing 2 FGs

SkinsJock wrote:most DCs would have seen that the puke RB can be stopped and that the puke QB is not good enough to win the game

They're on a ten game winning streaking, so clearly "most DCs" haven't seen that.

btw Did anybody watch that Browns/Giants game? It was pretty much unwatchable, so I don't blame you if you didn't.

The Giants are terrible though. If Josh McCown didn't miss every single third down pass he threw or the Browns D didn't drop like four easy Eli interceptions, the Browns by all rights should have won that game. I actually came away from watching that game thinking the Eagles are way better than the Ginas.

We need to go up to NY in a few weeks and beat them the **** down.

Is that before or after our game at Fed Rx?

Oh hell! Is that a home game for us? For some reason I thought it was a road game. That's great to hear - thanks for clarifying!!!

Well, we got three of the seven games from last week to go our way. Nice to see the Eagles fall back! Here's what's on tap this weekend:

Dallas v. Minnesota
KC v. Atlanta
Houston v. GB
New Orleans v. Detroit
Bengals v. Eagles
Steelers v. Giants
Tampa v. SD
Seattle v. Carolina

Would be great to see the Chargers set TB back.

hah. Yeah I left those blank to see people weigh in.

This week there are two I'm not sure about. I hate to say it, but I think we want a Dallas win. We're not going to catch them for the division, so isn't it better to set the Vikings back?

Same with the Lions/Saints. If the Lions win their division, they don't affect us getting a wildcard spot. Let them knock the Saints back.

I'm pulling for Dallas this week. Lions too. How great would it be if they were the #2 seed and us the #5 seed. We could end up hosting the title game against the Giants.

I better stop. Let's please beat Arizona. They have a tie too, right ?

I like TC's prediction..we sneak in as the 8th seed and play at the Giants!!

that's true but Joe Barry did and that's the latest game - that RB is not getting 100 yards again this week

SkinsJock wrote:RB is not getting 100 yards again this week

We rolled up 128 rushing yards against the Vikings, but the Zeke Elliott won't be able to?

I'll take that action.

Dream scenario:

Seattle and Atlanta lose a few more. Detroit keeps winning.

Seeding - COW, DET, SEA, ATL, WAS, NYG

We win @ ATL and NYG wins @ SEA.

We win at DET and NYG wins @ COW.

We host NFC title game and defeat NYG.

We beat Raiders in Super Bowl 38-9.

we were the last team to play the pukes and we held Zeke to under a 100 yards - we're presently ranked 26th against the run

the vikings are 13th against the run and 3rd in total defense - they are playing at home, desperate to stay in the playoff hunt & playing for their HC who is out after having eye surgery

the vikings are taking down the pukes tonight
