You forgot to mention Washington.

I heard Daniel Snyder is going to buy us a new, 7th playoff spot.

Gonna be some good games this weekend.

They were eliminated once Senile Gibbs took over.

I was watching Pats show on local TV and they were saying if the Pats lose their last two and the Jets win theirs, the Pats can be out altogether.

Gibbs will take back the play calling this next season.

And he isn't senile, just mild-mannered.

Went to the Giants game today. So pitiful! 2 minutes into the fourth quarter there was no one in the stadium.

Good chants going... "Tom must go!", "Coughlin Blows!", and my favorite "We want Handley!"

There's nothing more entertaining than a Giants game when they are underachieving! Unless of course, you're a Giants fan.

Mile High Miracle....

How does that happen?

Ah well, at the start of the season if someone told me the Rams would still be in the playoff hunt going into the last week of the season, I can't say I'd be disappointed.

The scary thing is that it is possible that Washington will beat the Giants AND New Orleans will beat Carolina AND Philly will beat Atlanta.

I'm actually pulling for the Eagles now that McNabb is no longer leading the offense. Have Philly fans accepted Garcia yet? I remember the 1st or 2nd game Garcia started the fans were booing him, cheering when he was down after getting slightly injured, and chanting Feely. I found that pretty classless.

goandykid · 12-26-2006, 10:41 AM

Philly fans don't accept anyone, let alone Garcia.

I want the Pack to get the last spot. Then win it all, and Brett Favre to throw 7 td passes in the Superbowl in a win over the Chargers.

ReproMan · 12-26-2006, 01:00 PM

Garcia has earned everyone's respect in Philly as far as I know. They weren't booing Garcia so much as cheering on AJ Feely, but they know who's the main man now...

I used have nothing but respect for him until the Michael Strahan incident. He made a mockery of the record. I realize it's only numbers, but it's still like spitting in Gastineau's face if you ask me. Not to mention, the month's after each season that he makes everyone wait to see what he's doing. And each week I watch him consistantly toss balls up for grabs, and listen to all the commentators praise him when a lucky one is caught. I'm just tired of him all together.
