Well thats two nail biters in two days. Jets beat my Tigers yesterday but somehow the Eagles hung on to that by however many inches the kick fell short. Important divisional win

Quality round of football in entertainment terms though

I thought the playcalling at the end of the game by the Giants was terrible, throwing the ball there was nuts after they already ran it with Bradshaw. Commit to the run after that and set up a FG wherever your K is most comfortable.

I hate the kicker ice, think its garbage, why give them two bites at the cherry? If you ice them and they make it, it only increases their confidence, if you ice them and they miss, you give them one more crack... also the fact is most kickers must now be aware that they are going to be iced, so i think it almost to a level that it serves as a practise kick.

Tynes missed badly on the first but had the distance... on the second we got lucky he fell short on the leg... Like Vick said, let them do their thing, if they are good enough, so be it.

Stats say icing is more liking to result in a successful kick anyways. Reid knew it too, wouldntg surprise me if thats the last AR icing of the year

man, honestly dont know how you let Ryan throw a 60 yard bomb from his own end zone. Coverage looked good but bad play on the ball by Nakamura i think they said. Cost you the game

that was an unbelievable blunder. someone needs to get cut to send a message to the team. or more specifically, to the secondary.

3 weeks in a row the Bucs have me tearing my f**king hair out!!!!

that last redskins drive was embarressing. it reminded me of the lions last drive in week 1 when the rams d was absolutely pathetic. what is it about the final minutes of games that make d players a shell of themselves? nerves? fatigue? alot of bonehead plays and reads.

I love watching Lesean McCoy, guy is a special player

I honestly wouldnt trade him for any RB in the league
No one better fits our system them him. He has that ankle braking cut that is beyond anything ive seen, Kenny Phillips will agree. And he is still so young, no question, he'll retire the eagles greatest RB of all time. He's a freak. Amazing balance.

Foster, Rice, Peterson... all fantastic RB's... wouldnt trade any of them for McCoy

Ryan Longwell said he loved it when they would call a timeout just before he kicked, it gave him a practice kick to see what the weather conditions were doing

It's called the 'prevent' defense

Gee Romo would like that one back, had Bryant open for a TD but overthrew him

And that's why Bryant will always be a tease, all the physical tools but not much upstairs

Oh and Jay, "I don't like to communicate w/ my teamates/coaching staff" Cutler is at it again...

Cutler sits down... Tice sits next to him to talk with him... Cutler get's up and walks away while ignoring him... What a chump... How bout you communicate and figure out how to fix things?

Chicago won't go anywhere with him at QB, he has no leadership skills at all, he's lucky that they have had very good D and ST for the past few years

Cowboys for the SuperBowl? loljks.

Shoutout to the Bears D for being beast. Pressure for days and it's paying off. Lance Briggs just ran 70-odd yards for a TD :lol:

change my punt at the last minute from dallas to the points total.

2 interceptions later and it's looking good. Woeful stuff

To be fair, 2 of those INTs weren't his fault, that Dallas Oline is horrible and Dez Bryant is the ultimate fantasy pricktease
