I am crying myself to sleep tonight.

Sorry, I couldn't help it. That was a big win for me. It took a lot of potential points off of everyone's lists.

Well, obviously I didn't predict any of these teams to win, though I kind of figured Dallas would beat Philly again.

Interesting picture on Sports Illustrated's homepage from the last play of the game. Isn't that a... facemask?

Yeah that's a rough beat for the Packers...it was an exciting game though, that is for sure. It's also a rough beat for me since I figured the Cardinals were guaranteed to get knocked out.

I realized that, in my post-depression, I forgot to update the standings, which I will do shortly.

In the mean time, thought you guys might like this brilliant idea from a Packer forum I sometimes visit, posted by "Mr Fixit":

Quote:

I hear ya gracias,

but robots and lasers and computers could make it so there are no mistakes. If a robot can build a car, and computers can fly the space shuttle, and lasers can drop a bomb with pinpoint accuracy, then they should be used to make NFL officiating mistake free.
Quote:

That's all I got to say for now, gotta run some errands. But think about it. Why not use computers, lasers and robots? Each play could be scanned as it unfolds, play recognition software could determine any and all infractions, and robots could make the calls. In fact, the robots could fly around on wires like the camera's do, and stay out of the way of the players. How many games have been blown because the ref was in the way?

You guys might not like it, but only when the games are officiated by computers, lasers, and robots will travesties like that one that befell Packers Nation when the worthless refs stole the game from us be averted.

ROBOTS, LASERS AND COMPUTERS ARE THE ONLY WAY!

Haha @ Cardinals D. Given up 90 points through 6.5 quarters so far.

Got to like the Saints and the very classy Mr. Brees. I hope they win the Superbowl for New Orleans.

Yeah, that's definitely where my rooting interests lie now. I have to give back to New Orleans what it gave me on Halloween night which was pure insanity.

ZebraRampage 01-16-2010 10:05 PM

Re: NFL Playoff Pick'em
 
New Orleans vs. San Diego still seems plausible. I'm hoping for just that.

I went up a spot! Maybe the teams that I gave higher numbers to will benefit me in the long run.

The Germanator 01-17-2010 03:41 PM

Re: NFL Playoff Pick'em
 
Epic loss here by the Cowboys. It makes me so very happy. Now the Saints just need to kill Favre and everything is good.

Bond 01-17-2010 04:29 PM

Re: NFL Playoff Pick'em
 
Oh Brent, I had to love your rendition of "pants on the ground." Still like Farve, still strongly dislike the Vikings.


Typhoid 01-17-2010 04:53 PM

Re: NFL Playoff Pick'em
 
I prefer Jimmy Fallon's version of Pants on the ground.




Edit: This will be terrible for me if the Jets end up winning.

BreakABone 01-17-2010 07:24 PM

Re: NFL Playoff Pick'em
 
Oh gawd, the Jets may do it.

:D

Come on

ZebraRampage 01-17-2010 07:36 PM

Re: NFL Playoff Pick'em
 
God Damnit San Diego. I can't believe that Kaeding has missed 3 field goals in this game. It should be 17-16 right now, not 17-7!

Typhoid 01-17-2010 08:01 PM

Re: NFL Playoff Pick'em
 
Well, that sucked.

Bond 01-17-2010 08:28 PM

Re: NFL Playoff Pick'em
 
Good for the Jets. Rivers displayed his lack of class well.

Standings:

1. BreakABone - 51
2. KillerGremlin - 49
3. Gambit X - 47
4. Typhoid - 46
4. Germanator - 46
6. Professor S - 43
7. Bond - 42
8. ZebraRampage - 41

KillerGremlin 01-18-2010 04:26 AM

Re: NFL Playoff Pick'em
 
Rivers is annoying. I'm really surprised the Jets won, their defense is something else. I'm actually really happy and I would love to see a Jets upset next weekend.

I'm hoping the Vikings/Saints game is a shootout too, but I'm kind of disappointed with the NFC offerings this year.

I guess a Colts Saints Superbowl would be exciting.

Professor S 01-18-2010 09:21 AM

Re: NFL Playoff Pick'em
 
The Jets just murdered any chance of me winning this thing...

Gambit_X 01-18-2010 09:28 AM

I smell a Vikings superbowl... :D Anybody else watch that game? Phenomenal.

Yeah, as someone who despises the Cowboys, I loved that game. However, I'm rooting for the Saints next week. If Favre wasn't on the Vikings I'd have an easier time rooting for them. They are second in line if the beat the Saints. I'll root for them over either AFC squad.

Bond 01-19-2010 07:16 PM

Re: NFL Playoff Pick'em
 
This looks to basically be between Gambit, KG, and BaB. Very odd year for this game.

BreakABone 01-24-2010 06:29 PM

Re: NFL Playoff Pick'em
 
Tough loss for the Jets, but they really did turn their season around.

:(

TheGame 01-24-2010 09:58 PM

Re: NFL Playoff Pick'em
 
Omg if Vikings lose this game they have nobody to blame but themselves.

Bond 01-24-2010 10:22 PM

Re: NFL Playoff Pick'em
 
Go Saints!

ZebraRampage 01-24-2010 10:26 PM

Re: NFL Playoff Pick'em
 
Favre should have run it instead when he threw that interception. They would have definitely been in field goal range. He blew that. The Saints got some calls from the Refs that they shouldn't have in OT. I'm kind of frustrated that it ended that way. I wanted the Saints to win when I started watching, and then I didn't care as it went along. The Vikings did have 5 turnovers though, so they did screw themselves over with that.

When can we get an updated score?

I don't think it's possible for me to win - but I'm happy I picked the Colts and Saints as my top 2 spots.


Edit: Yeah - I think Babsy's got this one locked down nomatter who wins.

I've had this locked down since last weekend, the only way I wouldn't have come out on top is if the Vikings had won, and even then it would have been close.

And I really must give credit to the Jets, their two wins helped push my lead, and if they had won yesterday would have been even sweeter.

Victory speech in 2 weeks! OR whenever I feel like gloating more.

Don't worry, you have the whole offseason to wonder if he will come back or not. :)

Now that it is over, we can OFFICIALLY declare me the winner again.

And the Favre MVP in 2020 commercial was awesome.
