The NFL admitted to the Detroit Lions on Tuesday that officials missed a blatant hold on Ndamukong Suh on a crucial fourth-down conversion from Tony Romo to Jason Witten with six minutes left in Sunday's wild-card game. I hate you all. That's 2 separate NFL apologies to the Lions. >.> | ||

The game was horribly officiated and it's unfortunate because it minimizes how much fight the Cowboys had to come back from that deficit and ballsy calls by Garrett. The Cowboys a few years ago would have folded like tissue paper when they were down 0-14. | ||

There were momentum changing calls on both sides. The game was horribly officiated and it's unfortunate because it minimizes how much fight the Cowboys had to come back from that deficit and ballsy calls by Garrett. The Cowboys a few years ago would have folded like tissue paper when they were down 0-14. I have heard it talked about (and why Dallas didn't get a call in their favor on a similar play). Those calls were justifiable (and had they gone differently, also could have been explained). There's also holding that goes uncalled on a lot of plays... Picking up a flag after the penalty has been announced and measured? That's new. Especially without explanation! Finally there's ZERO judgement in calling a foul on a player running on the field without a helmet to argue a play... The Lions were in prime position to beat them and failed to tackle and cover properly on a few key plays (the covering defender fell down on two of their big 3rd/4th down plays!). I don't want to take away from the Cowboys. They put together a great season (considering who they've had at RB setting a rushing record is amazing!). They stayed in the game and pulled out a victory. I'm rooting for them over GB, and think they have a legitimate shot. edit: moving on... Bal @ N.E. Car @ Sea Dal @ G.B. Ind @ Den Ind @ N.E.

Kidding aside: BAL > NE (Does this require explanation?) DEN > IND (Still a Manning mark) GB > DAL (I hate them Cowboys and think Aaron Rodgers may be our greatest American) CAR > SEA (Because Seattle is boring and who am I kidding this is never gonna happen) DEN > BAL (Again, Manning) GB > CAR (Again, Rodgers) DEN > GB (Manning wins and retires on top and stops the senseless "Eli has more rings than Peyton" nonsense) | ||

Romo really deserves a ring so that he can finally get credit as being one of the better qbs of his generation, but I fucking hate Cowboy fans way too much. I do want Luck to get one, but considering Indy's inability to regularly field a complete team around two franchise qbs, fuck them. | ||

Doubly so when it means Cam's fake ass smile will be plastered all over. I would love to see my Panthers win it all just to see CamSmile(TM) everywhere, one of my favorite things  but Seattle will be brutal... (radio stations here in the Seattle area won't shut up about the game and have been going on about it since Monday at like every news break... T.T) | ||

Seahawks 19-3 Cardinals (vs. 2nd string QB) Seahawks 19-6 49ers (vs. .500 team) Seahawks 24-14 Eagles (vs. 2nd string QB) Seahawks 17-7 49ers (vs. .500 team) Seahawks 35-6 Cardinals (vs. 3rd string QB who can't play to save his life) Seahawks 20-6 Rams (vs. 2nd string QB) I am not trying to say that none of these wins are impressive, nor am I saying these wins don't count for anything, but let's not pretend like the Seahawks finished the season on a 6 game win streak against top class competition. Indeed, the last 6 games were all played against backups QBs or an underachieving 49ers offense who was crappy all season. The last game they lost was against the Chiefs, a non-playoff team. Do I expect Carolina to go INTO Seattle and pull off the stunning upset? No. Is it possible? Yes. The Rams did it. I just don't like this narrative that the Seahawks have crushed face the last half of the season and therefore can't lose to Carolina. If we're going to talk about weakness in schedule, the Seahawks aren't immune. | ||
