2008 NFL Season

[Colonel Flagg]

And the Fish pull one out against the Green Slime. Hey, Brett Farve - you goin' to Disneyland? 'Cause you ain't goin' to the Playoffs! Plus the Pats are out - a side benefit.

Plus Minnesota wins and Chicago loses.

It just doesn't get any better than this, that is unless San Diego beats Denver tonight.

If I had to guess, it tastes the same to TO as losing to Pennington tasted to the Jets

Mid 3rd, SD 38, Denver 14.

My cup runneth over.

NFC NORTH CHAMPS BITCH

YAH BITCH YAH

[Colonel Flagg]

How 'bout dem BRONCO'S!!!!!!!

Way to tank the season, guys!

The Bolts say "Eight-'n'-Eight Feels Great!"

[WhiteRat]

People rag on the NFC North, but dear god, the AFC West is a complete joke.

[El Blanco]

Both Western divisions are awful.

I'm loving the idea of the Pats going 11-5 and missing the playoffs while the 8-8 Chargers clinched their division. If only Seattle had won yesterday.

Biggest game of the year against a team the Cowboys were clearly more talented than and they fucking crash and burn. Awesome. Romo even collapsed in the shower after the game.

So, anyone else looking forward to a Manningbowl in February?

Stupid Bills. I don't know why I bother sometimes.

I had forgotten all about this until today at work, but it appears that no one won the Brett Favre Injury contest. Everyone had guessed which week Favre was going to be injured. Obviously that didn't happen and I think this year will be his last for good.

Wrong sir, I guessed no injury!

Well played, Mayor Bee.

The look on Terrell Owens' face during the Eagles pummeling of the Cowboys was fucking priceless. The 'boys would be wise to dump T.O., but Jerry Jones doesn't care about winning. The best football that'll be played in that new coliseum of his will come from the Big XII.

3 coaches down already. Herm Edwards is probably next, but who knows anymore? Certainly came as a surprise to me that the "Mangenius" got his walking papers.

Brett Favre should probably go off into the sunset now. He's not going to be any better next season, and if you believe the excuses of not knowing the playbook or having a sore shoulder, I've got a bridge to sell you. I don't know what the Packers excuse is for their season, but don't point the finger at Aaron Rodgers.

Great final regular season weekend. I knew the Chargers would win the west, mainly because they are simply the best team in that abysmal division. The Cowboys, Bucs, Broncos, and Bears didn't deserve to be in the playoffs and they all proved it in overwhelming fashion. And Patriots fans should be glad their team didn't make the playoffs. A run at the Lombardi Trophy might've sealed the fate of Tom Brady. Now the braintrust up there has time to figure out what to do with their two quarterbacks. Might be looking at another Montana vs. Young situation.

The Lions have nowhere to go but up. I do think that Coach Marinelli deserves a modicum of credit for how he handled the mess there. This should be Matt Millen's legacy moreso than his.

I'm thinking Ravens vs. Colts for the AFC title game and Panthers vs. Giants for the NFC crown; a Manning will collect another ring in the end.

[El Blanco]

I think McCarthy will get axed next. He did such a terrible job with the Packers. And he should be followed by Dick Jeraun.

I loved his line - 6 catches for over 100 yards and NO TD's. What a game-breaker. And this time he can't blame the QB for not getting him the ball - Hell, even Jason Witten threw him a 42 yard completion.

Don't forget at the start of the year, the Boys were picked to win the NFC East, which was supposed to be the toughest division in football. Uh, I don't think so, on either count.

Agreed. During Millen's 7 years the Lions won 31 games. That's just over 4 wins a season.

[El Blanco]

Dude, the Cowboys were the preseason favorites for the Superbowl.

[WhiteRat]

Yeah, I had the Boys and Pats in the Super Bowl this year.


So Mike Shannahan was just fired after 14 years with the Broncos. Thoughts?

I'll leave that one to MailCall to answer, he's a Broncos fan.

It's the NFL, which stands for "Not For Long".

He'll get another job real soon, shed no tears for Mike Shanahan.

[brokensaint82]

I think Shannahan might hang it up...for a year or two at least anyone else notice how grey he got after elway retired? anyways as for the playoffs My Panthers are in so I'm happy about that.

This is true. You correctly guessed that Fawv-Ray would not get injured at all this season. For that, I present to you a prize that was sculpted by the finest graphic artisans in all the land:

[El Blanco]

With the shit season he had, can we still consider the Madden Curse still in effect?

[MattJack]

I would say the Madden Curse has been broken ):

Hopefully we find out that Farve screws children or fights dogs that way the Madden Curse can keep on going :D

Wow that's pretty good!

[Colonel Flagg]

'grats, Pent. Do I sense a new avatar?

Just to be completely accurate, Farve was injured sometime during the year, he just kept on playing. It could have been chronic, it could have been progressive, but his shoulder will need arthoscopic surgery in the off-season.

More importantly, will we be able to run the pool again next year?
