I can't believe that the Steelers actually have a shot at the playoffs winning their game and seeing Miami and Baltimore lose. Can the Chargers lose?

The Chargers better not! 35 years I have been rooting for the Bolts and they always find a way .....

Aaaaaand most bizarre play of the year goes to that Packer play.
When a fumble turns into a TD for you after both sides stood there for 5 seconds with no idea what was happening!
This Packers-Bears game has been epic! What a battle. Also I would kill to have the Marshall Jeffrey WR combo.
Peyton breaks more records. 5477 yards, 55 TDs, 10 INTs. What a year. Let's hope they get to the AFC title game at least. if not, oh my will the questions swirl. Of course even more questions will swirl IF by some chance Dallas wins tonight without Romo. I almost want it to happen just to see the Romo bashing hit full force, then they just lost in the playoffs anyway

CHARGERS!!!!!!!! Woo!
Though they will have to play a lot better than this if they want to go anywhere in the playoffs.
The Pack/Bears game was def one of the best of the season. I'd like to see Dallas win tonight, but I won't outwardly root for either team.

Ball out way before he was down and also before he crossed the first down line. Corrupt league with an awful product. But hey, they get to try to re-establish the dying san diego fan base, which is what they wanted. None of those final 4 teams should've been allowed to take that slot. All four were awful and three out of the four choked (but for a kicker and a league that conveniently won't review a clear fumble). That is all. Finally done with football. Shame on me for watching this long.

Yes yes yes, this sounds oh so familiar. 2014 is finally the year ya quit, right? ; )
Wow that was was the king of all blown coverages. Whoever that bear player was...let Cobb run clear by. So wide open. Chargers are a weak team but the whole AFC is pretty weak. NFC on the other hand, well what does it matter who's beating Seattle at home?  Well, guess I have to pull for Philly. Just can't let Dallas win. And at least Foles is a real QB and not a horrible person so meh, can't really hate on em

Glad to see the back of the Steelers & Ravens. Much prefer to take our chances with the Chargers.

Orton pulled a Romo LOL
But really, what a game. I figured Orton would be fine enough but he played way better than anyone could've realistically expected. More shocking, that garbage Dallas defense held up fairly well, and made some real big plays/stops. Credit where it's due, that was better than expected but wow, what a dreadful pass to end it all.

Not as satisfying when it's not Romo.

Really who would've expected that good a game?? And that one Orton pick wasn't his fault (though the second one was as crap as you can have lol) And I'm actually glad they got that last TD. We all want a fair game, and while it pains me Dallas got screwed with that play cock thing. WTF was that? Lol nvm 40 you have 25 now. Thankfully that didn't end up impacting the game.
Unlike...
Oh wow, not only did KC almost beat the bolts with an entirely second string team but just saw the not called penalty with the 7 Chargers lined up on one side. Tsk tsk, always some problem! I'm hesitant to say this because this one legit issue will give MoM a loaded assault rifle to fire, but looks like Yinzerburgh got screwed out of the post season. Even though he'll never accept this (easier to blame others) Pitt kinda dug their own grave with that bad a start.
What a whacky ass year, onto the playoffs!

^ Interesting picks, I hope 49ers do not make it... Would like to see Den vs Sea, but both #1s rarely get to the dance.
What a day of games with so many story lines, and my Steelers somehow were still in it after being left for dead...but SD had a horseshoe up their tukus, missed FG by inches, fumble called back, and illegal line up on the FG play that should have allowed another kick....ah well we dug ourselves too deep a hole to begin with.
Glad to see another Jerry Jones failure  ...poor Orton, he did not play that bad. |

Haha wow. I'm a Pats fan and even I can't drink this kool-aid. I'm actually more scared of Cin than Denver, though.
No way SF beats Seattle at home.

Orton had a really great game and then undid it all with his last throw.
It was actually some of the best football I've seen Dallas play all year. Their O line was outstanding on the pass rush. Their D played very well although Foles and McCoy still put up pretty good numbers. The big shock to me was the Eagles secondary, they were outstanding when they needed to be, especially against Bryant. Boykin breaking up the TD pass and Williams breaking up the 2 pt conversion were absolutely awesome plays.
I think the Eagles even have a chance next week, the Saints are pretty awful on the road. Although if they get shut down on the pass rush like they did last night Brees is going to kill them, obviously. Looking forward to the playoffs!

Yeah that's what the league did... You should be mad that the Steelers where abysmal for most of the season rather than complaining about the Chargers.

When did I not accept it, you  ? Seriously, I'm tired of your sh*t. I've complained about the players and the coaches directly for years and still you give this utter bullsh*t. They are a bad football team, so are the Chargers, so were the Dolphins and Ravens. The only thing the Steelers managed to be yesterday is the only one of the four that didn't choke (results aside, the chargers choked). Pointing out accurately that the league has screwed a team doesn't mean I'm absolving them from being sh*tty, you . So sick of your garbage.

Dallas dominated on both sides of the line. This both shocked me and mad me very sad. The defense came up big when it needed to though. Cary Williams is hard to figure out. He oscillates between good and terrible at troubling frequency. I think Saints @ Eagles gives the Eagles the best shot to win out of any possible playoff scenario. Temperature should be in the 20s, Eagles have had a dominant defensive line before that Dallas game just occurred, and they can score right along with the Saints.

Maybe so....but the Hawks still need to clean up the D as far as penalties, they have had a lot of them and dumb ones to boot. You can do that to Rams, Cards...but soon as you do that to 49ers or Saints that will usually cost you 6 points. And in this new season you have to play flawlessly.....the Hawks O has been blah too. Sea D is awesome but they are very cocky...I fear that will bite them in a playoff game. They either loose to 49ers by 4 points or beat them by 3TDs. Its a toss up for me but gotta pick one........
