For all that is not vikings I guess. On the road to super bowl XLVII. Which team will follow the double blue's championship?

Big win for the Chiefs.

Great comeback by the Colts.

Steelers pull one on baltimore without Big Ben.

Jets eke out a win after Sanchez finally got pulled.

Houston looks good but anything can happen. Brady might pull out another. Too hard to tell yet. I know I didn't think the Argos would win but I think it's pretty safe to write off my Vikings. They have to play Green Bay, Chicago and Houston yet. It doesn't look good.

Brady and Manning (Eli) are the guys until someone can knock either one off.

They've still accomplished more than what I thought they would.

True enough and it's great to see Peterson running great and being healthy. He's the best in the NFL hands down.

Tough loss for the G-men tonight. Getting tighter in that NFC east division.

[ArgoRavi]

Bills lost again today and are all but eliminated from playoff contention. Good luck trying to sell all of the tickets left for next week's game in Toronto although we all know that Rogers will just give them away anyway.

[294life]

All I could find were hundred dollar tix. Not even worth that. Seahawks are likely going to blow them up like they did arizona.

[Will]

So the Cardinals lost 58-0 to the Seahawks today. We're officially back to the Cardinals we use to know and love for years, hopelessly hopeless!

The Cowboys got a crucial win over the Bengals especially because Washington won. Cincinnati also got some help from San Diego and the Redskins respectively.

Andrew Luck continues to impress in Indianapolis.

There were sixteen $85 tickets in a row available in the 500 level as recently as a couple of hours ago on Ticketmaster. You could also get at least five seats together in the 200 level although those tickets were well over $200 each.

Yeah, I watched the first couple of minutes of the Seattle game but turned it off to have a nap. 58-0 is quite the beatdown. Too bad that former Stampeder Brandon Browner will be unable to play again in Canada as he has been suspended for using Aderall.

It's not like he had ADHD or anything.........

Seattle's other starting corner was suspended for the same thing but has appealed his suspension.

[294life]

Thought we were going to watch a beauty tonight. A one-sided stinker is what we have. 42-14 NE.

[matchuk]

yeah, what the hell was that? same with the 58-0 seattle win this weekend too

[294life]

bills-seahawks game now 80 per cent sold.

I thought that they had hit that figure two weeks ago.

We are back to the Cardinals of old.

same with the eagles. woooo-eee do they stink.

article in last weeks sportsnet mag that they suggest tebow comes up to the cfl as he would be a good fit with his style of play....hamilton owns his rights

Really? I thought the ALS did.

Still if he does come to hammy then Burris and Cortez might head out to Edmonton.

[Will]

Ryan Fitzpatrick did a terrific job today for the Bills as they fell 24-10 to the Dolphins in Miami. He threw an INT on the goal line with a minute left that sunk the Bills for good. Lots of empty seats in Miami today.

[294life]

All 6 AFC teams are locked up. Only one team left out of 4 in the NFC.

[ArgoRavi]

All 6 AFC teams are locked up. Only one team left out of 4 in the NFC.

It is weird how little drama there will be in the AFC on the final regular season weekend. There seemed to be a lot of mediocre (e.g., Pittsburgh, Miami) to outright lousy (e.g., Buffalo, Jacksonville, KC) teams in that conference this year. I tried watching the Bengals/Steelers game yesterday and it was terribly dull for a game that mattered so much.

[ArgoRavi]

Burris isn't going anywhere. Tebow's CFL rights btw do belong to Montreal but it is expected that he will be a Jacksonville Jaguar next season.

looking forward to the 2013 burris-ray labor day rematch. hopefully at rogers with as many folk as the last bills game.

.........and the chiefs, browns, bills and eagles all fire their coaches....and the jets and browns fire their gms all within the last half hour! wow.....time to clean house in the nfl

How could the Jets fire their GM but not their head coach? I believe that they call this Black Monday in the NFL.

i dont know how rex ryan still has a job there....mind you, look what he has to work with at qb, both sanchez and tebow are brutal...

also, the bears and chargers dumped their coaches this afternoon as well

Steve Simmons is in love with Rex Ryan and his brother because they spent a few years of their childhoods living in Toronto.

[294life]

Ray Lewis retiring. Some folk still pegging him as a murderer for the 2000 incident in Atlanta. Other than that the finest at his position.

[Will]

That was one heck of a game between Baltimore and Denver. The Packers-49ers game also is pretty good.

[ArgoRavi]

That was one heck of a game between Baltimore and Denver. The Packers-49ers game also is pretty good.

When Denver made no attempt to try to win the game in the final half minute of the fourth quarter, I had the feeling that they would lose. I still can't figure out why you wouldn't even try to win at that point, especially with two timeouts remaining.

[Will]

The Seahawks-Falcons game was also a thriller. Russell Wilson is a terrific QB and I thought that fate had once again worked against the Falcons when the Seahawks took the lead. Matt Ryan also deserves credit for leading that last drive. Now it's 49ers-Falcons for the NFC crown.

17-3 New England as I type this.

[294life]

should be a whale of a sunday next week. I'd like to see Atlanta-Baltimore but the odds are more likely NE-SF.

[Will]

I predict that it will be San Francisco and Baltimore. Harbaugh vs. Harbaugh.

The Harbowl.

[matchuk]

that seattle/atlanta game was wild...amd many thought it was done by the half....

[294life]

Schultz picking SF-NE as are most folk. I'm hoping for atlanta-baltimore myself.

[matchuk]

Burris isn't going anywhere. Tebow's CFL rights btw do belong to Montreal but it is expected that he will be a Jacksonville Jaguar next season.

i believe the gm, david caldwell (jags gm) said, and i quote "I can't imagine a scenario where Tim Tebow would be Jacksonville Jaguar."

i just dont want ne to win....or balt for that matter....

So you're hoping for a batman like scenario where foxboro gets blown to pieces and both teams forfeit? ;)

[ArgoRavi]

Would Montreal, without Trestman, still have interest in Tebow? I can't see him ending up in Chicago as the Bears seem to be set with their first and second stringers and I doubt that Tebow would want to compete for the third string job.

hahaha....that would work...

nah, as long as either sf or atla wins the super bowl ill be happy

yeah, i dont know....im still sure he will still land somewhere in the nfl next year...i was laughing my a$$ off a few weeks back when rob murphy responded to some of the tebow/cfl stuff by saying something like "tebow does know the cfl is a passing league right"

[Ron]

Ravi. Players only end up in Montreal if Popp wants them there. Trestman was not the one bringing in the new players.

Trestman was Tebow's biggest fan though. If Trestman told Popp that he would really like to have Tebow, I can't imagine that Popp wouldn't at least take that under consideration. Now that Trestman is gone, Tebow could be gone from the Als' radar as well.

well you're halfway there so far. nice grind win by the niners. we have a harbowl in 2 weeks.

[DanTheFan]

Glad we'll get that brother vs brother match in a few weeks. I had my doubts that the Ravens could pull it off.

[294life]

Best quote i read on FB tonight: 'Pats were horri-baugh'

Brady now 67-1 when leading at home after one half.
