its ok, Thanks to the Eagles our Play off chances are now in our own hands, It will be hard but a win against the Giants and Bears will give us a Wild Card spot - i think

You can work out all the permutations here:

As an aside, we've already been confirmed as AFC East champions, as our head to head vs the Jets is better (aware we finished 1-1, but our point difference is superior).

Go Jets!

You gotta feel a little sorry for the guy.

Thats just weird

Watched the Poinsetta Bowl in San Diego. Great game by San Diego State, their QB (Lyndey?) looks a great future prospect as does the RB Hillman. Navy looked solid as you would expect but just couldnt get the running game they rely on to work as they have previously.

Still a brilliant game!

Also, 5 players from the Buckeyes have been suspended (including Pryor!) however their 5 game suspension doesnt start until NEXT season so they can still play in the Bowl games. Surely if they have been found guilty they should be suspended from now? Pryor may drop out of College and go into the Draft this year.

What a game tonight, very very exciting stuff! Probably the most enjoyable game I've watched since taking up the sport a few months ago. Cardinals snatching the game with the just about the last kick of the game, all due to a carelessly missed extra point from the Cowboys kicker Buehler.

Pittsburgh 27-3 Carolina

Very good game, always enjoy watching them Cowboys lose! ha!

Seems ESPN had it wrong last week.

However, AFC East and first seed looks safe, with a crushing victory about to be posted over the Bills.

Fantastic game between the Bears and Jets just now - currently 38-34 to the the Bears in poor conditions (not quite as bad as 2 weeks ago mind).

Also, Vikings @ Eagles falls victim to the weather - doesn't often happen in the NFL but the snow on the Eastern seaboard is shocking just now!

Magic!

AFC East Champions, yet again - cracking team effort from the entire team, assisted by an MVP season from Brady. Hopeful we can maintain momentum into the postseason.

Another loss for the Jets - they'll be praying for a Redskins/Raiders wins to secure their playoff place.

Was a good game but it wasn't a good enough 4th quarter for a Jets win.

Redskins won by the skin of their teeth, 7-7 in the Colts-Raiders game.

You really think you'll manage to shut us out with your FG this time?

That is assuming you get by round 1 of the playoffs

Is it possible that Seattle could win their division with a losing record (7-9)? would this be the first time that thats happened?

I believe it hasnt happened before. It is a shame because some better teams will miss out on the playoffs.

On a side note, NC State (My boys!) are up 10 - 7 against Western Virginia in the Bowl game... GO PACK GO!

So you know why is this the set up and why isn't it just a standard league table involving all the teams?

It goes back to the separate leagues and the merger and alot to do with travel and distance i think, it is quite confusing to be honest. Scott (TSSF) will be better placed to explain it.

Quick note... NC STATE WON! Whoop! My friend who attends says there is quite a party on campus!

I've liked the seahawks since channel 4 introduced us to the world of NFL in the 80s, but I can see them changing the system based onwhats happened in the NFC west this year. Seahawks Rams at the weekend for a home playoff game next round for a team with a losing record? hardly seems fair.

True, it isnt quite fair but if you are going to have a conference system then the winners must go through otherwise why play for a conference? Still the Patriots are through and home field advantage secured so im happy with the system

Merry Christmas everyone.

Nice to see you been on the happy juice again. We don't need to shut you out, Ravens will knock you out . We will beat the Chiefs and the Steelers to make the championship game and then blow it. Falcons/Eagles v Ravens in the Superbowl, you herd it here first.

Forgot to say, anyone on here play Madden 11? Brother bought me a copy for Christmas and I can't get online cause I've no code. Anyone know where I can get one.

[Calvin]

I got it yesterday and stayed up til 8am playing it! The code is on the back of the manual surely?

[Gatecrasher]

Madden 08 was far too easy if you played as the Patriots, all you did was drop Brady back and press B to Randy Moss and it was a catch, no matter how far he had a lauch it! Havent played the latest one yet, waiting for my student loan... er... payday I mean...
