Don't land on me if you do Richard, I jumped last evening and paddling like a duck as we speak.

[mugsy]

Never too late Richard....want to jump on board the Seahawk? hehehe No pun intended.

I'm reveling in it since it's never happened before! lol

[catland]

My 4-4 Packers are playing Monday night against Philly.

Good luck to the rest of you this weekend.

[mugsy]

Well, my Seahawks play the Redskins on Sunday in D.C.,so who know's what will happen. I would love it if they won....they would be 9-2!! I can hardly remember that kind of season. Usually they start strong and get my hopes up and then crash and burn and don't even make the playoffs! lol

WOW,
I forgot about this thread.....


now that I am a probationary Seahawk fan I have to prove my worth this weekend!!!

Mugs,

I don't think seattle ever had a season like this.....Not poking fun at you or anything..........but when the played AFC west.......

Good luck to everyone this weekend and for old times sake.....go raiders???? :rolleyes:

[mugsy]

Here's what my Seahawk email said Richard....

Seattle is also off to their finest start since making the playoffs in 1999, when the club started out 8-2.


I don't ever remember them being this good either, but, what do I know....how quickly we forget eh? lol If they lose this weekend, you're fired as a fan too! hehehehe Isn't called a fair weather fan when you jump ship when it's sinking and jump on the bandwagon of a winner??? :p :D

AAACCCKKKK!!! Bad day in my NFL day. Bears and Seahawks both lost! RICHARD!!! Did you cheer for the Seahawks?? hehehe

[clara4457]

Mr Hyde came out for my Bills - Gosh I miss the 90's. Please come back Jim Kelly - Thurman Thomas - Andre Reed - James Lofton. :(

[RobiLee]

Boo Hoo Hoo!! The Vikings have lost 3 in a row now. I couldn't stand watching it today. Where is the defense?!?

*Sigh*

Robin :(

[mugsy]

And Richard's Raiders lost too. Not a good day in Pet Talkville.

Robin - I thnk EVERYbody's defense showed up in Dallas today. Dallas did manage to win so I'm not complaining (I'm sure there will be plenty of time for that in games to come :) ).

Was shocked when I saw scores from other games as in: Washington BEAT Seattle???? :eek: When I saw that on the roster this AM, I felt sure Seattle would come out on top. What Happened?

And the other surprise to me was that Indianapolis lost, altho my feeble brain has just blanked on who beat them. Aargh...

[Logan]

Richard, I gave up on the NFL for this season when the poor, pitiful Falcons lost and lost and lost. And our favorite college team, Clemson, wasn't doing much better, until Saturday night! What fun it was to be right there in the midst of those 81,000 people when Clemson decided to show up and beat Florida State, the #3 ranked team in the country! At least that is what they were ranked at the time!!!! LOL!!! :D

[catland]

Sorry everyone had such a bad weekend. But the week's not over yet though, you can still be an honorary Green Bay fan for tonight.:)

So jump on the bandwagon, paddywagon, chuckwagon or whatever, and help me root for my team.:)

my last wagon experience was the 'turnip truck'.....

lolololol,
I'm willing to take a chance.;)

blame it on Vick.....poor guy never even got a chance to pull out of the garage...let alone get rollling..:(

[Prairie Purrs]

I'm joining this thread late because I've never been much for football. Of course, my college experience might have something to do with that--I went to Northwestern back in the days when the Wildcats royally and righteously sucked. When my friends and I bothered going to the games at all, we'd sit in the stands and chant "Our SATs are higher," and "Library, library, let's go study!"

Not long after I left, NU set what was then the NCAA record for consecutive losses. I'm told that after the record-setting loss, the students tore down a goalpost--and threw it in Lake Michigan. :D

Now, of course, I live in the heart of Bronco Country. In fact, I can see the pretentiously named Invesco Field at Mile High from my living room window.

I do watch games when the Broncos make the playoffs. And the Super Bowl wins were pretty cool. ;) All I can tell you about this season, though, is that they got off to a great start and then somebody put an injury curse on them.

OK, Catland. I'm hopping as I type :) I'm always happy to pull for the Packers so you can count me in for tonight.

[catland]

sigh - I guess it was too much to hope for that at least one of us would have a winning weekend.

Oh well.

[lbaker]

Dear Mugsy
PHFFFFFFFT ;) (don't be angry, after the last several weeks I'm allowed to rub it a bit when my Redskins do something right for a change)

[RICHARD]

the thread that wins together....


oh, well you all know the rest....


next week??

We are ALL winners....

Turnip truck??

INDEED!:eek:

[Logan]

Richard, I can only say that I decided that college football might be more my speed, especially when we have a great game like we did Saturday night!!! :) Bowden Bowl V definitely went our way. I hope it will help to give those Clemson Tigers the push they needed!!!!! :) Go Tigers!!!! :D

[catland]

We're coming up on another weekend. For me it is the battle of the Bay's. Green vs. Tampa. (doo-dah, doo-dah)

Good luck everyone.:)

[RICHARD]

LOL,

thank you,

from superbowl contenders to last place pretenders....the Raiduhs....


CID,

I remember that streak.....the Mildcats...
you poor thing....:)


RAH RAH REEEEE

RAH RAH RASSSS

I fear the Seahawks are falling back to their norm...:( I hope they prove me wrong.

[Cincy'sMom]

My bengals actually won last weekend, but of course, my computer was ded so I couln't even come here to celebrate...now that the computer's fixed, I'm guessing the Bengals will lose :( I don't think KC will stay undeafeted, but I don't think the Bengals will give them the first loss...but I love to be wrong!!!

I think the Bengals might be able to pull it off. I'm keeping my fingers crossed. I'll be cheering real loud for them!! Gosh, that would be just awesome if they can do it!!!

Uh Oh!!!....Guess who my Vikes are playing today?!....Sorry Richard, but we have lost 3 in a row. I just don't think I can take another loss today. I hope we squash those Raiders and squash them good!!....lol...;)

I'm up early going to get some housework done and then I'm ready for the games!!! Oh yes, I'll also be flipping over to the last Winston Cup Race too. Yay!!....Matt Kenseth!! Winston Cup Champion!!! Love it!!

Robin :D

[mugsy]

We're going to be driving through most of the games today, but, we'll get to see some. We'll probably listen on the radio. Good luck to all !

Cheering hard up North...only 5 minutes left!!!!!

I just called my brother down in Cincy and got the machine...told him he better be at the game or his older sister will be most disappointed in him!

[RobiLee]

THEY DID IT!!!!

WOO HOO!!! BENGALS WON!!! I KNEW THEY COULD DO IT!!!!

I just spoke to my dad on the phone. He is a happy man...hehehe. I talked to hubby on the phone before the game and told him I was doing some housework and getting ready to watch the Bengals stomp on the Chiefs. He just laughed at me and said he didn't think that was going to happen. He has no faith....lol!!!!!

On to the next game....C'mon Vikings!!!

They aren't on tv here though...:( ....I'll have to keep an eye on the computer.

Robin :)

[Cincy'sMom]

GO BENGALS!!!!!

[Miss Meow]

On the scores at nfl.com, what does 2nd mean? Some scores are final, and some are 2nd. Why I'm asking is that the Seahawks are winning, but the game doesn't seem to be over yet. Hurry up and end while we're winning!

[Freckles]

A NFL football game is divided into four 15 minutes quarters.
You were describing the 2nd quarter of the first half. Then there is a Halftime rest break. Now they are playing the third quarter. I usually root for Seattle but I'd like Joey Harrington of Detroit to do well. (He's from Oregon). However, after the 4th quarter of 15 minutes, I expect Seattle to be winning.
FINAL means the game is over.

Hopefully this is clear enough until Richard has a chance to clarify.
:D

[Miss Meow]

Thank you :)

The score says Seattle 35 - Detroit 14, 4th, so I assume that's the last quarter and we'll win this one? ;) Mugsy, we're back!!! :D

[Cincy'sMom]

It's final...Seattle won! Nothing like a game against Detriot to get you back to your winning ways :)

[mugsy]

WOOHOO!!!! GO HAWKS!!!

Yeppers Nicole! We did it!! Yeah for us!

[RobiLee]

BOO HOO!!

I'm so sad. The Vikes have lost their fourth one in a row now. :(

Congrats, Richard.

Robin :(

[iloverat]

RobiLee and Cincy'sMom --- Congratulations on your Bengals!!!
That was quite a game !!!!!

Mugsy and MissMeow --- Way to go, Seahawks!!!

Richard -- Oakland won? I mean, Oakland WON!!!

The Cowboys - Patriots game just ended. Pthffffft... I kept wishing that someone would tackle the refs... So many penalties!!!!! Oh, well. Glad other PTers had some victories!!!!

I love come back football but that Seattle game was ridiculous...

Mike's excited....his Packers play!! I'm just hoping we get home from the restaurant before the game starts. Our reservations are for 2:30 and I think (I hope) the game is at 4.

I hope no one falls asleep during the games!!!:)

OK, so if the Jacksonville Jaguars are known as the "Jags" and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are known as the "Bucs" what does that make the Tennessee Titans? Go ahead Richard, make my day!

Ok, yesterday's results don't bode well for our Seahawks guys! I can't believe that the Packers lost to the LIONS!!

Th elions always seem to play better on Thanksgiving. I actually picked them to win..

Hoe my Bengals can keep getting it done...I'm starting to think Marvin Lewis should be coach of the year!

[mugsy]

WOOHOO!!! SEAHAWKS WIN AGAIN......


Yeah!!! We did it again Nicole! Good job Amy! Your Bengals are kicking butt!

I'm sorry RobiLee....Minnesota is having trouble, but not as much as Richard's beloved Raiders.

[mugsy]

Well, we aim to please!! lol

[Miss Meow]

All right! Go Seahawks!!! :D

[RICHARD]

great job everyone....


My beloved raiders my arse.....They belong to Al Davis.....:rolleyes:

[mahayana]

I guess you'd have to call them the "tites" (better than the Tennessee Oilers, anyway!) Did they really let the Jets beat them last night? I turned it off at 10, when they were 2 touchs behind.

The Cowboys to the playoffs? I had gotten used to thinking they could lose to any team.

Don't give up hope. I think they still have the capacity to lose it all :) Don't get me wrong --- I am a long time Cowboys fan and am hopeful Parcells can give them the impetus that's been lacking the last few years. It's just that I'm afraid to hope too much for fear I'll jinx any good that might come along. You see them one week looking great and then next week they're pathetic. THis IS something to be grateful for. Previously they were consistently pathetic!!!! :D GO 'BOYS!!!!!!

[mugsy]

I got this from a friend of mine. You can do it once a day. The soup will go to feed the homeless and support your team at the same time. The goal is 5 million cans and they have over 2 million now. My Seahawks are WAY down the list at 24 when I voted today.

FREE SOUP FOR THE HOMELESS

An easy way to make a difference this Holiday Season

Campbell’s is donating a can of soup to the needs for every person that goes to their web site and votes for their favorite NFL team. Go to the site and its right there, very easy to do. It will only take a few seconds of your time to fill some empty tummies with warm soup this winter.

You can visit the site once a day.

http://www.chunky.com/click_for_cans.asp

[smokey the elder]

It wouldn't let me do it. It kept saying retry your vote. Is the gibberish code case-sensitive?

[RICHARD]

I got the same message...

Of course I voted for the Raiders.......

so that should disqualify me for any good I try to do.

[mahayana]

It worked for me! It is good to see Campbell's doing this, even if it is to avoid paying taxes. I wish it was as easy for individuals to decide where their tax dollars go!

Go, Titans! (and Cowboys???)

[iloverat]

I voted for the Cowboys and all went smoothly. Pretty neat project! Boy, the Packers fans are running rampant!!!! Was it 300,000+ clicks? Vikings had a lot of support, too. We actually hear quite a bit about the Vikings and Purple Pride here in San Antonio cause this is owner Red McCombs hometown. For Viking fans everywhere that might be concerned Red would try to move the team to SA, I"ll betcha that will never happen. SA is a big town but not a lot of $$ here and Red McCombs is nothing if not a brilliant businessman. Can't see him making a sentimental but money losing decision over one that puts more change in his pocket.

How did I get off on that? :rolleyes:

Anyway, Mahayana, I'm with you on the Titans. They're still so much the Oilers to me. Have followed them a loooong time and sure wish them well. As for the Cowboys, they're maddening but I"m continuing to be a loyal fan. That means I get to complain about them loud and long but will still be there on Sun. rooting...and cringing. :D

[RICHARD]

another sunday.....


GO EVERYONE!!!!

i'll be back tomorrow to cry on some shoulders......


and please don't wear your team's colors.....I am distraught already.:rolleyes:

[mugsy]

Richard, you and Nicole and I can be distraught together after our teams' performances today.

RobiLee....I bow at your feet, your Vikings kicked the SNOT out of our Seahawks. It sounds as though, after following the game on nfl.com, they played like they deserved to lose.

The Seahawks are now 1-5 on the road and undefeated at home. Does not bode well IF they make the playoffs.

The only game I half-way enjoyed was New England vs Miami and that was because of the beautiful ** snow**

[mahayana]

Even the Titans lost! If only by turnovers, and to Peyton Manning, one of the great TN Vols quarterbacks...not an auspicious Sunday here.

[mugsy]

Yeah, Titans, what's up with that. I was counting on you to defeat the Dolts. lol

All is not lost. Green Bay won. That puts us on a one game winning streak:D

OK, I'm still deciding whether I want to be a Falcons fan or not. They have had a miserable year, but defeated the Panthers on Sunday, which was a wonderful thing!! :) :) But they fired Dan Reeves today and that makes me sad. :(

Don't hold your breath Richard....they've only won one game on the road this year. They are suckin' now!! Back to their old form I fear.

WOW!! Dallas Week? What does that consist of? Does everyone wear cowboy boots and big hair? I am a Cowboys fan and am well versed on the age old rivalry between Dallas and the Redskins. Love the games but I can't get too into the us vs them stuff. Except for the fact that it just MIGHT fire up the players, which would be helpful. :rolleyes:

[lbaker]

it goes waaaay back - maybe 30's or 40's But especially back in the Vince Lombari/Geo Allen days of the "over the hill gang" I always identified with that then on to "the fun bunch". Ain't nothing but a thang.:rolleyes:

[mahayana]

I'd say the Eagles are the real Cowboy nemesis. They got rid of Michael and Troy, and always try to humiliate the 'Boys.

Would be nice to get homefield, but that takes winning a few, hah!

[RICHARD]

part of the 'skins-'boys rivalry has to do with the song 'Hail to the Redskins'

Some one who worked for the Redskins and got the song together left to go to Dallas....

He wouldn't let the 'skins use his song until there was a settlement........a lot of hard feelings about it!!

[Cincy'sMom]

Thank you Oakland!!! Bengals are back #1 in the AFC North!!!

[amoore]

Well, Dallas shut out the Redskins and the Titans squeaked by Buffalo. Much better than last week!

Now if the Eagles get beat tomorrow night ....Go Dolphins!

[mugsy]

I TOLD YOU THEY WOULD LOSE RICHARD!

The Seahawks almost pulled it out, but, as usual, on the road, they went down in a blaze of glory!

Don't rub it in Amy!! hehehe

[Miss Meow]

Geez, Mugsy, you never warned me that the Seahawks were utterly useless once they boarded a bus or plane, ha ha ha!!! :D

[mugsy]

Nicole, the Seahawks are undefeated (7-0) at home and have won only 1 game on the road. That does not bode well, if by some miracle they make the playoffs.

Why are sooooo many quarterbacks having problems with penalties, officials, calling plays?????

[iloverat]

OK, Miami ------ we NEED you to get with it & clip some wings.

Philadelphia ------- be good little Eagles and LOSE!!!!!!

[mugsy]

Yep Richard, sounds like Hasselback got screwed by the officials at least once. But, I listened to the game and it as a good game, unfortunately we ended up on the wrong end.

Rat....not a very defensive game tonight!! Dang! 21-14 and it's not even halftime and now Ricky Watters is out of the game with a shoulder injury.

[RICHARD]

LOL


Joe Horn was nailed 30,000 bucks for his phone call after his touchdown...


AFTER THE League sent out a memo that the next

I made it to Canton...twice!! In HS our marching Band was in the Hall of Fame Game Parade. Did we get to go to the Hall of Fame? NO!

Did we get to go tto the Football game? NO!!

What a waste!!!

My senior year, they gaveup the canton parade to do the Detroit Thanksgiving Day Parade. I didn't even make the trip, cause they weren't going to the football game....band director must have thought people joined band to play music...I joined for a free ride to the football games :)

But I'm not not bitter...not at all :)

Someday, I hope to get back and actually get to see the Hall of Fame :)

[iloverat]

Cincy's mom......You was ROBBED!!!!! :eek:

I am all too familiar with those silly, misguided band directors as I was a fellow band member. Each year we traveled to Corpus Christi in order to participate in something called Buccaneer Days. In case you're not familiar with Corpus, it's right on the Gulf of Mexico. Did we get to go to the beach while we were there? Only on the way out of town. (Wave bye-bye to the seagulls, kids). Were we allowed to go to the town's giant carnival that was part of the celebration? Of course not. That would've been FUN and we were only there for a contest. Bleh.

Another football related band experience had to do with summer band camp, a mandatory part of being in the marching band. It was held in the little town of Kerrville on a beautiful college campus. It turned out that the Houston Oilers held their training camp there, as well. :cool: Naturally, their section of the campus was off limits to us and vice versa, but we could get close enough to watch them when they worked out on the field. :eek: These guys are soooo huge when you see them up close and personal.

there is something nice about "up close and personal" but several years ago when I was waitressing at a "Famous Sports Bar" where all the RedSkins used to show up I stayed way late to serve the table where some of them were. Owner said "treat them well" I did. At the end of the dinner (they didn't get a check) one of the guys slipped a folded paper into my hand. I thought "GOOD TIP", well it must be at least a twenty, maybe a FIFTY! I was there allll afternoon. I went to the bathroom and opened up the paper to find a phone number from one of the team (I won't say who) with a note saying "blank name... with phone number.. CALL ME" THAT WAS MY TIP!! UGH.

[iloverat]

Well, the CALL ME note was exactly why us youngsters were only allowed to view the Oilers from afar.

That always makes me so mad :mad: when a table steals from a waiter or waitress. When someone has worked really hard, especially serving a large party, they surely deserve a GOOD tip. What a disappointment and a pisser that must have been for you. AARGH!!!!

Doesn't surprise me that it was one of those nasty Washington Redskins, though. :p I'm so positive that our angelic Cowboys would never do anything so creepy. ;)

[amoore]

Wow! Is anybody watching the Vikings cream KC? Did anyone talk about MN winning the SB this year? I am amazed!

[lbaker]

well Iloverat, creepy it was, BUT.. hehe.. I understand your Cowboys have a new defensive coach... JOHNNY COCHRAN!! sorry, just had to be said ;) :o

WE did!!! Actually made Dad take off his Chiefs Hat.

Amazing!!!!:p

[amoore]

We have a long-time friend from MN who is a big Vikings fan. He only bets on underdogs (all the jock commentators picked KC), so maybe he will have some Christmas money this year!

Now if the Titans and Cowboys win everybody will be happy!:)

Good answer!!! Angelic Cowboys...HA!

I have to double check fantasy football, but I think we played Culpepper last night..I hope so!!!


Tampa/Atlanta game was a good one. Terry Bradshaw said at halftime it would be a good finish, and I thought, yeah right:rolleyes: Sorry Terry...you were right

Well, I guess I'll just have to take that hit. After all, the Cowboys newsletter used to double as a Dallas area police blotter. :)

[amoore]

All Riiiight!!!!!!! Cowboys are in, and Titans squeak past Houston with 17 secs left...*WHEW!*

[mugsy]

HAWKS WIN AGAIN....8-0 AT HOME!

We won't talk about the 1-6 on the road....

We are still on the bubble for the playoffs Nicole...AND we are competing with Mike's Packers!!

[Miss Meow]

Wahoo, Mugsy!!!

If we make the playoffs, do we get to have them at home? (wishful thinking!)

[mugsy]

OH NO!! We would be, at best, a wildcard, which means we would play every game on the road....that should tell you how long we'd be around if we make it! lol

[RICHARD]

congrats to the winners this weekend.....


LOL I was in PIGSKIN HEAVEN!!!

I even ditched work on saturday to watch the games....

What the HECK happened to New Orleans??

I almost died......:eek:

I hope the game isn't cancelled tonight......

[smokey the elder]

I admire Bret Favre for choosing to play tonight. I would have understood if he decided not to. His dad taught him football; what better tribute than to go and whup up on Oakland (sorry, Raider Nation!)

[RICHARD]

DON'T APOLOGIZE TO THE RAIDER NATION....

I spent 10 years sitting with those buffoons in lost angeles.........talk about misunderstood???
more like MISDEMEANOR and PAROLE......

that and the fact that My Pal Al had a chance to put Favre into a black jersey.......:rolleyes:


Please don't start me.....;)

We'll compare notes tomorrow!!!


Good Luck and may the best.....Aw, hell.......

Packers win!!!:confused:

[RobiLee]

Don't be talking like that, Richard! I need those Raiders to win tonite!!! Counting on them to help out my Vikings. It would really be nice if the Raiders could pull this one off.

Robin :)

[mugsy]

Sorry Robin...this win should be for Bret and his dad!!

It's 14-7 after the first quarter. Green Bay!

Did anyone hear if he dedicated the game to his dad?

[mugsy]

Well, sorry Richard...your Raiders took a shelaking!! 41-7! WOW.


Oh and Ditka said that he did dedicate the game to his dad.

And I was disgusted when that stupid wench went down after the game and stuck that microphone in his face. :mad: I know he agreed to it, but that's just because he's gracious. It was tacky to ask in the first place.

Well, now it's going to be interesting in the Kendall house....GB and Seattle's hopes for the playoff follow a very similar path.

[amoore]

I've always been a Raider's fan, too. And I like the Colts.

It's hard to play with a big psych-out like last night.

[RICHARD]

:eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:


we WOULD have mailed that game in but I have the feeling it would have come back 'postage due'.


Lisa "G", the on the field twit was a Fox sports net twit that began as a news reader here on the left coast....You may have seen her on the Best Damn Sports Show.......

To say she is a 'talent' would be far too kind and giving her too much credit.

Bring back Leslie Visser.

So who won the game last night?

I missed it...;)

[RICHARD]

another HUGE football weekend


SATURDAY AND SUNDAY..

no monday night game tho...:( it's on saturday night...:)

[mugsy]

OMG!!! THE HAWKS WIN ON THE ROAD!!! 24-17

Well, it's out of their hands now. Nicole, there are 3 ways that they can get in the playoffs....Minnesota lose, Green Bay lose, or Dallas lose and a strength of victory advantage.


I think I choose Dallas losing and strength of victory or Minnesota losing although I know that opinion will get me killed on here! lol EEWWW....ok....maybe not, Dallas plays the Saints........

[Cincy'sMom]

You act surprised that the Seahawks won, Molly! I had faith...I picked to win :)

Now tomorrow, Go Bengals, Go Steelers!!!

[RICHARD]

you get to yell like that in the house???


Dont you love the playoffs???

That catch was pretty incredible.....I thought.....'oh no.....'


Tomorrow never knows....

[mugsy]

Which one? The touchdown pass or the 49ers catch? They were both incredible, but the announcers were right that catch on the sidelines was amazing. I can't imagine having the concentration to have 3 BIG guys coming at me a foot from the sideline and STILL make a catch. I'm glad he caught it, but I'm also glad it wasn't a first down.

You know....this is going to be the thread I miss most when the end of January comes.

Yep...I'll say YEAH for both the Bengals and Steelers.

Yay!!! One day I'm going to have to come around and watch a game of football with you ... something tells me we'd have a great and loud time :D

[DJFyrewolf36]

I WAS THERE!!!!!!!!
Harassment was large, due to the drunks behind us lol...but me and mom did a victory dance when Seattles MVPs (its a tie between Erikson the coach for SF or Garcia SFs QB lol) called the WORST play at the WORST possible time...and I thought Holmgren was a moron!
Go tubby go tubby! Seattle CAN win a road game!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[DJFyrewolf36]

BTW tubby is what Nevada seattle fans *all three of them lol* call Holmgren...are we being cruel lol?

[Cincy'sMom]

Richard, I just heard it'snot too late!!! The radiers can still set a record!!

(Okay, so it is for most losses by a team in the year following a Super Bowl)

But hey, they still can make the record books!!!

[Cincy'sMom]

Dallas loses and Seattle is in!!! Good luck 'Hawks!!!

Unfortunatly my Bengals stumbled and are done for the season. Not a total loss though...from 2-14 last year to 8-8 this year. Things are turning around. Can't wait til next year!!!

[RobiLee]

Well, thats it for my team. Another disappointing season for me and my Vikes. I'm very sad right now :(

I guess we will try again next year.

Robin :)

[mugsy]

Well next week should be interesting....My Seahawks play Mike's Packers. Oh geez......

Congrats to all the winners. What a weird weird day in the NFL. The Lions beat the Rams????? What's up with that?

RobiLee, I'm sorry for your beloved Vikes, but, for peace in our house, I'm glad they lost.....sorry.

Amy, you're not very nice....harassing poor Richard like that. ;) So, who are you going to yell for next week? Are you going to be my friend or Mike's? lol

And I don't know whose side to take...Seattle is the underdog and I do get tired of the same teams all the time. But I also like Brett Favre. He is not a super flashy-look at me guy.

[RICHARD]

quite all right.....i can take the ribbing and
being a football fan has taught me to dodge the slings and arrows from 31 other cities...






To delete the thread I go to the first post and click on 'delete', right????:p

Congrats to everyone and it time for the second season.

[mugsy]

Well, for the first time in many years, I actually get to root for my favorite team (at least in the first round). So, Richard and RobiLee, who will you be pulling for now? How about you Amy?

[RICHARD]

lol,

this is where I get into trouble....

I want the team with the last minute rally to win,
I want games with 10 touchdowns, blocked kicks,
returns of 80, 90 yards..great catches, great plays, interceptions......I just want the games to be close, high scoring and plays that will get me to jump off the couch and scream....

It's the playoffs!!!

[catland]

Who-hoo- Go GREEN BAY!!:D

Well, Mugsy, looks like one of us will have a good day next Sunday.

[amoore]

Us Dallas fans say Yore Welcome, Mugsy! (hey, I have a Seahawks cap, too)

Wouldn't it be a gas for them to meet at the Superbowl?

Might be a longshot...the real question is who will the Titans beat!:D :D :D

[mugsy]

Well, amoore, they can't meet in the Superbowl since they are both in the NFC, but, maybe the championship game? Nah....they suck on the road, which doesn't bode well for them. I think I'll take it one game at a time.

[ILoveMyAbbyGirl]

Yay for GB!

[Cincy'sMom]

Dallas and Seattle can't play inthe Superbowl...since the league was realingned, Seattle was switched from and AFC team to NFC. Closest they could come would be NFC Title game.


I don't know who to root for...Not GB, Denver, or Dallas...too many Super Bowls, too recently. A lot of the other teams I don't like though....Titans, Ravens, Panthers. Too new. Too many moved cities. I guess maybe I'd like to see Indy and Seattle? (Ii know Indy's a transient team too)

I guess like Richard, i just want big scoring, CLOSE, fun to watch games!

[RICHARD]

OH, NOW you are nice to me!!!!

AFC
Tennessee Titans at Baltimore Ravens -- Saturday, 4:30 p.m. ET (ABC)

Denver Broncos at Indianapolis Colts -- Sunday, 4 p.m. ET (CBS)




NFC
Dallas Cowboys at Carolina Panthers -- Saturday, 8 p.m. ET (ABC)

Seattle Seahawks at Green Bay Packers -- Sunday, 1 p.m. ET (FOX)

I like the fact that the saturday games are 'late' scheduled..

Holmgren going back to GB is probably the best 'human interest' story....

The Denver/Indy game will be a knockdown-drag out...

Cowboys over the Panthers.

Titans over the Ravens.

:o Gee, I heard them keep saying the Dallas loss helped the Seahawks in, but I never put it together! All I knew about them was that they hate Denver. Confession time...I found my Seahawks cap in an abandoned house.

Anyway, Go Titans, Colts, Cowboys, Seahawks!

it's that time of year again.....


There is no tomorrow and the biggest score goes on......

Who wants to be playing golf in the offseason!


GOOD luck everyone.......


I would love to be a fly on the wall in a divided football home.....:eek:


LOL,

Mugs, remember to get your bets in writing....
:)

Sorry Mike...;)

[mugsy]

No bets here!! I would never bet on the Seahawks when they play on the road. SHEESH!! I'm just reveling in the fact that they got in...it's been forever!! lol We shall have to wait and see.


GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!

[iloverat]

Thanks from all Cowboys fans for the wishes for Good Luck!!! We certainly can use all the help we can muster.

Am really looking forward to the Seahawks-Packers game, too. Actually, I will be watching all 4 NFL games this weekend and next, as well. LOVE the playoffs...but can't believe the whole season is almost gone already!!!!! :eek: :confused: :eek: How did that happen?!!?

[mugsy]

[Cincy'sMom]

Football is barley over before NASCAR starts...at least there is still something on on Sunday Afternoons :)

[amoore]

Almost time for the two main games...hope the Titans and Cowboys play their hearts out! Ravens and Panthers can put in 60 minutes and have a nice vacation...:D

[mugsy]

I don't care a lot about today's games (sorry guys), but, tomorrow on the other hand!!.....

Good luck to all the teams and fans for today's games!

I'm bummed....I was all set to watch a game at 1 and the first game doesn't start until 4:30. DANG!!! Oh well, at least there will be football all night.

[amoore]

Titans squeaked it out, 3 Ints for SMc, won in the last half minute!

Hope the Cowboys want to play today, doesn't look too good right now...:eek:

[mugsy]

I saw the Titans win....and you're right amoore....23-3 with 4:30 in the 3rd right now.....Carolina.

[mugsy]

Not pretty for the Cowboys fans....Looks like Carolina and Titans win today!

[DJFyrewolf36]

Eeep, Dang dallas...I dislike carolina...
Wish the hawks luck...

[amoore]

I'm for Seahawks and Colts today, really just want Denver to lose! Isn't that mean?:p

Poor Dallas, guess they are one day closer to their Superbowl win, next year! LOL:D

[RICHARD]

:(

[iloverat]

Oh, well...... we'll get 'em next year.

[mugsy]

I wish the 'Hawks could have won...but what a GREAT game! I never expected it to be that close.

Unfortunately the Dolts are killing the Broncos.

[Cincy'sMom]

Well, the 'Hawks/GB game and Balt/Tenn were everything the playoffs are supposed to be. Great games!!! Too bad the same can't be said for the Dallas/Carolina and Den/Indy games.

[mugsy]

The Seahawks don't have anything to be ashamed of, great game!

Loved Peyton's sound bite about getting the "little monkey" off his back...sorry, Denver fans! The KC/Colts game should be good.

[catland]

happy dance, happy dance :D :D :D.

Sorry there's only room for one team Mugsy - your hawks put up a good fight.


Go GB!

[RICHARD]

who is gonna break the news to Miss Meow?


:(

[mugsy]

I think she knows....I told her to go to NFL.com and she could follow the game.

I still say it was an awesome game. Yes, I wish the Seahawks had won, but, it was still a good game.

[iloverat]

I'm going to truly be torn over this one as I like both KC and Indy. Will feel elated for winner and bummed for loser - schizo fan signs off........

[Miss Meow]

I saw :( I'm glad it was a close game, though. Only wish we had coverage here ... we have tennis, soccer, car racing, home renovations (it's become a sport here ;)) and lawn bowls at any hour of the day, but the American football is nowhere to be seen.

So who's left? And, Molly, who are we going for?!!!

[mugsy]

I'll be rooting for the Packers now. There are 2 games on Saturday (4:15 and 8:15pm EST) and 2 on Sunday (one at 1:00pm and one at 4:30pm), Nicole, if you want to follow along. I think we figured you're 16 hours ahead of us.

[RICHARD]

Football Jesus,

I beseech you to provide us with another
weekend of close scores and maybe one overtime
game. Please protect the players, the fans and the guy that sells the beer at the local liquor store.

Make the microwave popcorn hot and salty, the pretzels fresh and the nachos cheesey, the beer cold and please allow my blender to crush ice for a margarita, should I choose to make some.

Make my cable reception clear, the batteries in the remote strong and leave me without a mess to clean up on Sunday night.

Than you for giving us a great life and playoff football to watch.

Amen

Football Jesus hears ALL requests, no matter how small they maybe;)

[mugsy]

Is everyone gearing up for tomorrow's games? I have a transport that I leave from Ft. Wayne at 11 and drive to Marshall, MI to drop off 5 dogs and then home.....I'm hoping to be home by 2pm or shortly there after....so I won't miss TOO much.

Who is everyone pulling for? I just want Indy to lose (although I don't think they will) and the Packers to win. Other than that I guess I don't really care...I just want good games.

We gotintoa football pool at Ralph's work, so to win money we are going for GB or Indy to win it all :)

[iloverat]

OK -- I'd like to see Tennessee and St. Louis win today, Indianapolis and and Green Bay on Sun.

If Kansas City beats Indy, I won't be too upset as I really like both teams. Wish they didn't have to play against each other.

Are you ready for some feetball???? :D

[RICHARD]

thank you football jesus..

[mugsy]

OMG....what a finish!!! I thought the game was never going to end, I went to the other game and then clicked back in time to see the pass!! WOW!

Now let's see what happens in the tundra of the coldest game in playoff history.

[amoore]

Carolina/STL was a great game! Now if the Titans can win it will be wonderful!:D

[mugsy]

2 GREAT games!! This year's playoff games have been, for the most part, the most exciting I've seen in a LONG time. I hope that bodes well for the Super Bowl.

[RICHARD]

yea!!!!!!!!!

i love drama, and time outs and missed field goals and great catches and cold beer

[Cincy'sMom]

Here;s hoping today's games are as axciting as yesterday!

[amoore]

Hated to see the Titans lose.:( But Steve McNair was smiling when he shook hands after, hey somebody has tho lose...

Today I want the Eagles to lose. I'm so mean!

[mugsy]

It's not so much that I am desperate for the Eagles to lose as I am wanting Green Bay to win for Brett Farve. I think that GB is the sentimental favorite for many people this year.

I'm disappointed in the Chief's performance this afternoon. Right now they're down 24-10....we'll see.

[Cincy'sMom]

Another OT game!!! What a great football weekend!!! Come GB, pull this one out!!!

[mugsy]

I knew it was too good to be true. Now, I truly don't care who wins. I suppose I want New England and Philadelphia now.

[Cincy'sMom]

Didn't happen :( Okay...rooting for Indy all the way now!!

What an absolutely great weekend for football.


There was strategy, great plays, luck, and fantastic athletism..

No blowouts and last minute heroics.


three more games....


are you all ready?:D

I'm lost. Adrift. Who do I root for now?:(

sunday night game....



yea!!!!!

[mugsy]

Mike and I are doing another transport on Sunday (and one tomorrow if the woman doesn't weenie out if we get freezing rain) going from South Bend to Angola (which is about an hour and half drive (but 2 hours to get there) and then an hour home, so I don't know how much we can watch, but, we can at least listen.

Good luck all!!!

[amoore]

Hey, for what it's worth...Go Indy! Go Carolina!:)

[mugsy]

My worst fears have been confirmed. We are supposed to be in South Bend at 3:30 and then it's an hour and a half to Angola and then an hour home.....do the math....I guess we're not going to see the Indy game. oh well....the radio works, although Mike bought a little 5 inch b&w tv for the car, so we'll see if we can get reception.

[iloverat]

Mugsy, I feel your pain!!! Tomorrow's games are the culmination of an entire season's work and fanatical following. I do hope you will be able to at least hear the broadcast. Take care on the road and good luck.

I'm pulling for Indy because I really want to see them win.
I'm hoping Carolina beats Philly as I just want to see the Eagles LOSE.

(This has been the ravings of a rabid Cowboys fan and in no way is meant to represent the opinions of this website. Thank you.)

[smokey the elder]

Today's games are rematches of week 13! How weird is that?

Donatell got fired! A defensive coordinator who can't stop a team on 4th and 26!? 'Nuff said. Go Carolina and New England!

Well, the one sure way to get your wish is for me to root for the other teams (which I am! lol), so you should be safe!!

As to hearing it, I guess we're taking the TV so we should be able to watch it too, even though I'm sure the picture will suck! lol Next thing you know Mike will find a small plasma tv and stick it to the dash and find a way to have remote cable access so the picture is clear!! lol

Black and white TV picture with snow?:)
That's about what we are seeing now. There is so much real snow, our TV picture is almost black and white. A blowout, too.
(sort of)

[mugsy]

Well, I was actually rather pleasently surprised. The picture wasn't bad for most of the trip. We only missed seeing about 5 minutes of the game.

Mike was disappointed, I was happy.

Lacy the abused Sharpei slept through the whole thing!

Now...on to the NFC game.....

[Miss Meow]

I like the readers' poll on the NFL web site:

It's fourth down with 26 yards to go. Which of these quarterbacks would you most want to make the play?
Tom Brady
Jake Delhomme
Peyton Manning
Donovan McNabb


It's what down? I know what a yard is :) Quarterback - where's the rest of his back? Making a play - oooooh, rude!

Better read those rules again ;)

lol...

Two guys from a small town go to their first ever football game...

when they return the folks from the neighborhood asked them how they liked it.....

Guy #1 says, "It was o.k......a bit confusing....."

Guy #2 says,"It seemed like an awful lot of trouble for 25 cents..."

The neighbors asked him 'WHY?'

Guy #2's answer was..."everyone kept yelling GET THE QUARTER BACK....."

------------------------------------------------------

A yard is about one meter.

a team has four chances to go 10 yards.

(that distance is measured on the side of the field with two
sticks held up with a 10 yard chain in between, those sticks are moved to when the ball stops after the team gets past the
farthest stick

If you get ten more yards you get four more chances to move.

If you run out of chances, usually you kick the ball to the other team....OR you can kick the ball between the uprights...(Like a kick for points in Aussie FB...

The Eagles were on their 4th chance and needed about 26 meters
to get four more chances.

Instead of kicking they took a chance and their QB threw the ball
to a player and he ran for those 26 yards to get four more chances.

Next we will try Nuclear Fission.

Time for Monday morning quarterback? Don't you love that Brett Favre commercial? (I wouldda double-bagged it)

I sure wouldn't have guessed that Carolina would be in SB38, but it is great! Always bet on underdogs so you don't have to cover the spread...

All in all, a great post-season! Now, let the Superbowl hype begin. Any predictions?

[mugsy]

Well, I actually hope that New England wins. I like Brady. I have just never really gotten into either Carolina or Jacksonville, so have really never paid attention to them.

Neither game was terribly spectacular yesterday....too sloppy for my taste.

I just hope the Super Bowl is a good game....not the yawners of the past!!

There's my Monday Morning Quarterbacking editorial......lol

[RobiLee]

I have to agree with Molly. I too will be cheering for New England.

I slept through the last football game yesterday. I hope I make it through the super bowl game..lol...only because I like to see what new commercials they have come up with. I chuckled at a few of them yesterday.

I don't really know anything about either team. Hoever, I do like rooting for underdogs and keeping with the PT spirit it seems appropriate to root for the big kitty.

Go Carolina!:D

[Logan]

I have never been a Panthers fan, other than the first year when they played in Clemson's stadium, although I live a mere 80 miles from Charlotte. I've always tried to be a Falcons fan, instead. But I found myself rooting them on yesterday, and will continue to do so on Feb. 1!!! :D

The 'Dale Jr.' Commercial was the best!!:D

[RobiLee]

That was my favorite too!!! Loved it. Giggled all the way!

[iloverat]

Well, I was really sorry to see Indianaoplis self-destruct yesterday. That one was awfully painful. I guess Philly fans probably felt the same way about the second game.

Am pulling for Carolina Feb. 1. Catland - I think your logic is great! :D :D We're covering 2 species by being for Carolina as they are both underDOGS and CATS!!!!

Maybe we should have a cyber Super Bowl Party on Pet Talk!! I know we're not doing anything very special! :D

I love football and will be depressed until August now. MLB is a poor substitute, but at least it's a sport....

I like figure skating too, but, Mike hates it and complains the whole time, so I change it....same with soccer.

I would rather have a double root canal than be subjected to an NBA game. NHL is ok...just not into it.
