Baltimore at New England..... there can be no pleasant outcome for a Browns fan.

Given that Bellyshit is only one guy and Baltimore are many, I guess it has to be.... Go Pats!

My pick's Carolina anyway.

It's a USian sport-thing. You know - a game.

Here's the antidote game:

It were a good game, that! But Carolina Seattle will take care of 'em in the Bowl.

Hmm, yeah, Seattle... that's it. Seattle. What I said. Yup. Seattle

Nope, not so much, seeing as you have to win your divisional game first. Bring on either AFC team for the Championship next weekend - the game is in *our* house this year!

You can count me as ABD, so that means this week, I'm a Packers fan...

Hand me my cheese wedge...

A little hard for you to root for the Cowboys, Jim?

Helluva game...


Way to go Cheese Heads!

In that decisive controversial incompletion call, at first I thought Dallas got screwed on the reversal...

(Not that I cared; afterall we're talking about The Cowboys...they should be screwed early and often...)

But here's the wording of the rule:
The wording of the NFL rule that applied for officials to overturn on review Dez Bryant's apparent catch for the Dallas Cowboys on fourth-and-2 with 4:06 left of their 26-21 loss to the Green Bay Packers in the divisional round of the playoffs Sunday.
"If a player goes to the ground in the act of catching a pass (with or without contact by an opponent), he must maintain control of the ball throughout the process of contacting the ground, whether in the field of play or the end zone. If he loses control of the ball, and the ball touches the ground before he regains control, the pass is incomplete. If he regains control prior to the ball touching the ground, the pass is complete."
http://www.seattlepi.com/sports/article ... 008269.php

There's no question that the ball touched the ground, and Bryant lost control of the it on contact:

The issue was really whether or not he was still "in the act of catching the pass" or whether he had caught it, had the completion, and then lost it...

The ironic thing is, if he hadn't reached for the touchdown, and had tucked the ball away as he was going down, then the Cowboys would almost certainly have had First and Goal at the one...

I can't begin to tell you how disappointed I am that he didn't do that... 8-)

Oh come on, you're just posting words picked at random out of a crossword on the page now.



Abilene sits deep in the heart with fans Homepage's Chief Videographer but fans of both teams both sides of the gridiron call the Cheese-head cheering. These are feeling the competition, and things are getting a little Lone Star State

Big Country Cowboy Country Key City home, up from feuding fans to show us what it's like to be on your team in the Adam Singleton caught heated..

Seattle, yeah. That's the ticket. I've been behind them all the way! Knew the Cheeseheads didn't have a chance. Seatlle, yeah. Them guys. Repeat. After they crush the Pats in the SB. Or that other team, whoever it is next in line to die in New England.
