FOOTBALL: NFL joins NCAA in sending message that playing dumb gets you out of trouble

Week 14 is nearly in the books. Which means only 3 games are left in the season. There are still 20+ teams in the playoff hunt. Only New England and Atlanta have clinched playoff spots. The NFC West still gets to host a wild card round game. Life is unfair.

Currently, the Pats have looked like the best team in the league, and have been able to hold onto that distinction for more than one week (unlike the other teams claimed to be best in the league this season). The schedule makers decided to make things more interesting in the last few weeks by moving more division games to the end of the season. I think that is working out pretty well.

Then there is the collapse of the Metrodome causing the Giants @ Vikings to move to Ford Field tomorrow night.

That's pretty incredible.

As are the Eagles, apparently!

Oh and Aaron Rodgers has a concussion. Favre's consecutive starts streak will probably end tomorrow night. These are all things you can discuss.

    there's no way they would flex out packers/pats

    too bad they didn't schedule some other shitty game or it almost certainly would have been moved

    I went to the Metrodome for a few baseball games in 2004. It was pretty shitty then.

    I imagine it is still as shitty, and now minus a part of the roof.

    Yeah, Jackson might have hurt himself mocking the Cowboys on this play.

    hunter the whole time i was hoping he would fumble that like he did his rookie year

    sadly, he did not

    i also want mike jenkins gone next year, mother fucker just does not know how to finish a fucking play

    i'm thinking specifically of the one where he had mccoy? dead to rights and rather than try to make a tackle, keeps backpedaling and then starts chasing. dive, motherfucker!

    also that one where he couldn't wrap up mccoy and then turned around on his knees and was very slow in getting up, haynesworth slow if you account for the fact he's a fucking db

    If Terrence Newman hadn't have held up and conceded the touchdown it would have been an awesome opportunity to light Jackson up in epic fashion.

    i got pretty stoked when they were talking about how garrett was following in jimmy johnson's footsteps of tough practices

    i mean, it was a division game, but it seemed like they were playing a hell of a lot meaner than they have been with wade in charge

    they were fired up.

    i also like how wade's son was dipping in the box

    I think he would have hit him right as he was starting to spin around. That would have been an ankle injury (or worse) for the ages if that had happened.

    that was the same play he was limping off (assuming it was his ankle, he was gassed though)

    i agree with you though

    According to what I read, Rex has a lot of respect for the dude (the coach who did the tripping) so he might not get fired.

    Also, after the game last night, Tashard Choice walked up to Mike Vick with a marker and got him to sign one of his (Tashard's) glove's.
