Boy, this Jets' offense is sublime entertainment

Been great entertainment all season!

[James.]

Laugh all you want Pats fans, but I have it on good authority that some of the biggest scouts from the Arena Football League are at the Jets-Jaguars game today.

Steelers and Bills both losing today helps our slim playoff chance!

[hibsbollah]

Wow. Redskins do it again, forcing OT with a comeback, RG3 injured, Cousins comes in.

Looks like Colts are going to the playoffs, Steelers blowing their chances?

[Sylar]

Bucked up a bit in the second half and lead 17-10.

I'm glad in a way as Shonn Greene is my RB this week

Hoping for a Redskins win against Baltimore here to help knock us towards the #1 ranked team in the AFC!

[hibsbollah]

Huge punt return for the Skins, most exciting team in the NFL? 31-28 OT win.

Eagles pip the Buccs on the games final play 22-21. Bears lose too. Good news for Saints and Seattle in wildcard race

[Sylar]

Manning throws an INT and New Orleans take a 7-0 lead in NYC.

[Sylar]

And then New York return the kick off to tie it up at 7-7.

Great game so far

[Sylar]

Seattle destroying Arizona so far. 17-0 in the 2nd!

Matt Flynn in at QB for us now. Just rubbing salt in the wounds of the Cardinals.

48-0. Can't complain.

[Sylar]

Pretty stunning TBH...only seen the game via RedZone but Seattle are on fire!

San Francisco leading the Dolphins by one TD and NY Giants easing away from the Saints.

Good win for GB last night and taking charge of NFC North, was the game on C4? if so is there anywhere where i can watch it? C4 OD for example?

[hibsbollah]

Houston-Denver might be a bit of an anticlimax tonight. Both teams have already won their divisions, got first round byes and home field advantage until the AFC title game. Unless both teams get to the title game, in which case the team with the best record plays at home, there is nothing really for them to play for tonight...

Packers at Bears and 49ers at Patriots big match ups next week.

Houston-Denver certainly would be an anticlimax to those turning up at Foxborough to see the Patriots take on Houston

New England need a win to try and get into the #1/#2 seed positions and avoid the Wild Card playoffs.

I'd worried about the 49ers and Texans games but I've every confidence we'll beat San Francisco next week too.

Looked really comfortable last night at times and Brady looks even better than he did last season!

It's been a terrible season for the saints. Goodell has made sure of it. Just a shame I have to wait 9 months till our next meaningful game. I don't know why hibs and the saints can't have a good season at the same time.

Now I need to find an afc team to support for the playoffs (thinking jets! Haha) and whoever is playing the falcons.

I don't like the BBC Mike. Much prefer him in his relaxed joking mood on channel 4. Hope the British guy who's been hosting it the last couple of weeks hasn't been punted.

Laugh all you want but somehow or another we might still sneak the last wild card .

It would be so, so wrong if you got to the playoffs. Strangely I am actually not having a go because I am a Pats fan but seriously, you guys are terrible this year, you shouldnt be near a playoff berth.

They won't get near it.

Colts are certs with their quite impressive record just now and one of either Pittsburgh or Cincinnati will probably take the other.

I think the Steelers and Bengals need to play each other again, so the Colts will bar a freak combination of results deffo make the wildcard. Someone told me its still ossible for Cleveland to make it with 8-8, so anythings possible...

For some reason, I thought there were only 2 games left of the regular season.

I'd suggest Cleveland is unlikely - they're currently 5-8 so would need to beat Washington, @Denver and @Pittsburgh to get to 8-8 and hope both Pittsburgh/Cincinnati lose all of their remaining games - certainly not impossible but unlikely IMO.

I guess the three realistic contenders are indeed the Steelers, Bengals and Jets:

Pittsburgh: @ Dallas, vs Cincinnati, vs Cleveland

Cincinnati: @ Philadelphia, @ Pittsburgh, vs Baltimore

NY Jets: @ Tennessee, vs San Diego, @ Buffalo

Pittsburgh probably have the most straight-forward run-in of the three, closing with 2 home games but all three are capable of winning 2 of their remaining 3 games.

Well the bounty rulings are out from Tagiablue, Saints players all have suspensions dropped. Intresting that this came out after our season is effectively over. The law suits from the saints players for defamation against rodger goodell will continue.

The most intresting part of the ruling for me (page 17) was that the Packers in 07 and Patriots in 08 ran the exact same system that the Saints have been found guilty of. Both teams were fined 25k each.

I dont know why then that the saints a year later were fined, suspended players and coaches and had draft picks taken away from us. Its almost like we were the scapegoats so that goodell can defend himself in the injury law suits. A season destroyed by one mans agenda. I dont know how still is in the job.

He hasn't, he was in Green Bay this week making a documentary on the Packers for 5 Live. The guy is Darren Fletcher, of the very good Inside the Huddle podcast.

Hey, I'm not arguing. Fact we are still in the running is a joke but with a bit of luck, all or 3 remaining games are winnable and if we did win them I reckon it would be enough to sneak the last spot. Course, being the Jets we'll probably blow it big style.
