Ok, so if Washington beats Dallas they're in....but what if they lose, what are the scenarios that would get them in with a loss against Dallas ?

They will need losses by both the Vikings (vs GB) and the Bears (vs Detroit). I'm still scratching my head to figure out what needs to happen for the Giants to squeeze in...a win, those two losses and a Skins win???

^Yup, ironically enough Giants need the Skinz to win the division, so they can secure the final wildcard spot, assuming all other wildcard potentials lose.

What do y'all think of the (supposedly) new Miami Dolphins logo? (I saw it first on yardbarker.com) I'm glad they made the dolphin a little more realistic-looking and took the helmet off its head, but they could have at least put some eyes on it. Don't like how they made the flaming hoop smaller.

Looks like Shamu's blind little ba$****.

Chan Failey... I mean Gailey. His misuse of CJ Spiller alone is worthy of an instant canning among other things. Stubborn old man.

Norv Turner is done in SD. Same for their GM AJ Smith.

As a Jets fan, Wrecks Ryan should be shown the door but is owed too much. GM Tannenbaum will be fired, thankfully!

I think I speak for the fans of every other team in the league when I say this, but, watching Rex and the Jets circus self implode this season was marvelous... could not have happened to a more deserving team.

As a Clemson alum, the lack of touches for CJ Spiller in Buffalo is baffling.

We had a good run but Wrecks lost direction and control of the lockerroom starting in '11 and it spiraled away this year. Just not a cohesive identity and as the saying goes, "the fish rots from the head". He and Tannenbaum must share the brunt for the poor personnel moves and lack of offensive identity. Ryan is not an offensive guru and, frankly, that's what has been lacking throughout his tenure. Sparano wasn't the answer so maybe we should get a Bruce Arians...great work as an interim head guy. Big Ben misses him in Pittsburgh and Luck grew up fast under him.

I get no joy from other teams' troubles so the "most deserving" tag is a bit of a rip...there are plenty of character guys, present and past, to have worn the green and white that makes me proud to be a Jet guy "from my first cigarette to my last dying day".

Beating Dallas twice in one season and winning the Division ? It can't be any better for a Skins fan !

[stringertom]

The postseason is full of great storylines...two rookie QBs taken 1-2 in the playoffs and, yet a third rookie QB taken much later could upstage them both...a sixth round rookie RB goes for 200 yards in the finale to get his team in the playoffs...two All-World players bounce back from devastating injuries to play in January...a coach battles back from leukemia and rejoins his team in week 17 after they clinch a postseason berth...can Peyton learn from Eli how to beat a Brady?...could Seattle arrange a rematch with Green Bay to prove the Fail Mary wasn't a fluke?...can the Falcons finally win a playoff game?...can the Harbraugh Bros do what the Manning Bros haven't and make the Super Bowl a family affair?

So many story lines...stay tuned, as the plot thickens!

Im hoping for anything but the SF BAL SB. I said this last year as well, but seeing so many Ravens fans around here wear team gear only on weeks of victories drives me crazy. I couldnt stand the Camp Hard-Baugh shirts that poeple were wear every year for training camp.

So just imagine how much seeing a Super-Baugh shirt would tick me off.

Actually maybe I should make the stupid shirts and make a few bucks.

Flacco ain't taking that team anywhere near the SB. Don't worry about it.

Thats what I tell those every monday night bowling. And I was telling them at the end of last year they should have traded Flacco and gave Peyton max contract. These people around here think Flacco is actually good.

They were talking on the radio this morning how he is better than Romo becuase he didt cost his team the Playoffs with interceptions. How fast they forget his pick that ended last years playoffs. And the 1st and goal 99yd pick 6 he threw two weeks ago.

IIRC, it was a missed 32-yard FG that ended their run???

Yea I was actually thinking about two years ago when they had that big lead and Flacco chuked that 3rd QTR pick against the steelers.

All I remember last year was how Flacco got outplayed by TJ Yates in the 1st round

Regardless, Flacco is not real good.

I'm not big on Flacco either but you're wrong about Yates outplaying him...Flacco threw 2 TDs/0 picks; Yates had 0 TDs/3 picks. Ravens won 20-13. The Cundiff miss happened the next week in the AFC championship game vs BradyPats...he got them into position to tie and probably force OT. Not his bad on that loss.

Black Monday very dark for many...biggest surprise: where is the "love" in Chicago? Lovie axed ain't right by me! Hope he gets a shot as HC right away.

Was surprised by Lovie. He did not deserve the ax. He'll get a HC job somewhere else I'm sure. With a good oline Chicago is a championship caliber team.

But, Chan Gailey getting the ax! Hallelujah it's about time. Best news I've heard all year. I'm sure he'll get a head coaching job at a highschool somewhere.
