Fucking hell!  It is 42-0 now. The Eagles are pathetic and Owens was right.  Serves them right.  Reid has to go now.

I know if Seattle goes on to win the Giants will have no shot at home field advantage, but the more sinister side of me loves to see the Eagles getting embarrassed.   :wellin :wellin :wellin

Anyway, here are the Week 14 scores minus the Sunday night and Monday night games:

Cincinnati 23, Cleveland 20 (This was a much more difficult contest than the Bengals expected as Charlie Frye and the Browns played very well; Bengals were actually behind for most of the game but got ahead in the 4th and drove down for the winning field goal when the game was tied at 20).

Indy 26, Jacksonville 18 (Despite the close looking score, the Colts absolutely dominated this game; Manning-Harrison destroyed the Jags defense.  Jags scored 2 TD's in the last 4 minutes, one after recovering an onside kick, to make Indy sweat, but the Colts remain unbeaten and clinch HFA throughout the AFC playoffs)

Minnesota 27, St. Louis 13 (Good effort from the Vikes defense gives them their sixth straight win and moves them to within a game of the Bears in the NFC North.  The Vikes forced Rams QB Ryan Fitzpatrick into five INT's)

NY Jets 26, Oakland 10 (Jets with a solid performance; therefore the Jets are eliminated from the Reggie Bush sweepstakes.  Leinart still a possibility though next April)

Pittsburgh 21, Chicago 9 (Steel Curtain gets back on track to shut down the anemic Bears' offense; Steelers offensive line wins the battle at the line of scrimmage against the highly touted Bears defense as they run for 190 yards)

Tennessee 13, Houston 10 (The Titans also eliminate themselves from the top pick chase as Houston basically threw this game away at the end; Houston at 1-12 is still the frontrunner for USC's #5)

Tampa Bay 20, Carolina 10 (Bucs' defense dominates this game as they get a shock win at Carolina to pull into a tie with the Panthers for the NFC South; Bucs, Panthers, Giants, and Bears now all have the same record in the fight for a playoff bye)

New England 35, Buffalo 7 (Patriots dominate the hapless Bills as they move one week closer to the AFC East title; probably the best performance of the year for the defending champs...the game was played in a driving snowstorm)

NY Giants 26, Philly 23 OT (Crazy game...the Eagles played very hard and McMahon was burning the Giants' defense for three quarters but Strahan and Umenyiora, the U, step up in overtime to force McMahon into a turnover.  Feely kicks the winning field goal JUST inside the left upright to partially redeem himself for the horror show in Seattle)

Seattle 41, San Francisco 3 (Hasselbeck has his biggest day of the season with 4 TD passes as the Seahawks dominate the Niners; Seahawks are almost a dead certainty for HFA in the NFC)

Washington 17, Arizona 13 (Redskins cut it very close against an inferior Arizona team in the desert to keep their division and playoff hopes alive; Washington ends the season with a game against each of their NFC East rivals Dallas, NY and Philly)

Miami 23, San Diego 21 (The Fish pull out a shock win in San Diego and stay alive by a thread in the AFC East; the Chargers' playoff hopes took a pretty big hit with games at Indy, KC, and a home game with Cincy as their run-in)

Dallas 31, Kansas City 28 (This is highway robbery; no way did Dallas deserve to even come close to a win here.  A phantom holding call against KC linebacker Derrick Johnson on an incomplete 4th down pass put Dallas right on the goal line, and they scored the winner with 22 seconds to go)

Denver 12, Baltimore 10 (Despite it being ugly, the Broncos manage to pull it out and move 2 games ahead of both San Diego and Kansas City for the AFC West title; they are a nearly certain division winner at this point)

Detroit at Green Bay SNF
New Orleans at Atlanta MNF

Due to changing television contracts in the States, this is the last season where Monday Night Football will be telecast and the last game on MNF is a matchup between the Patriots and Jets at the Meadowlands.

In other NFL news, there have been rumblings that Texans kicker Kris Brown, with his team down 13-10, intentionally missed a 31-yard FG (almost a chip-shot by NFL standards) to ensure a Texans' loss and keep their record the worst in the NFL.  The spot was on the right hashmark, and Brown snag-hooked the kick about 25 yards to the left of the left goalpost.

Houston Texans still favourite to get Reggie Bush.  I still maintain these guys will end the season 1-15.

And the Falcons might make it as a Wild Card.  Tampa will lose in Foxborough this week-end too.
The Vikings might win their Division the way it is going.

In other NFL news, Daunte Culpepper, the Vikings' regular starting QB, and three other Vikings were charged with indecent conduct, disorderly conduct, and lewd and lascivious conduct misdemeanors for their role in the "sex boat" scandal.

For the rest of the Vikings, the love boat was the start of their resurrection; they've gone 6-1 since the love cruise.

NFL Saturday Scores:

New England 28, Tampa Bay 0 (Complete domination by the Pats, who are getting healthy at the right time.  This game also shows how lucky Tampa Bay really is to be in playoff contention; they're not an impressive team even though they're 9-5)

NY Giants 27, Kansas City 17 (This was a classic hard-hitting game and had an incredible running back duel between Tiki and Larry Johnson.  Tiki in the win ran for 220 yards, an NFL season high and Giants record, and 2 TDs.  Larry Johnson ran for 167 yards and 2 TDs.  Despite Johnson's gaudy numbers, the Giants' defense really came to play without their two top linebackers)

Denver 28, Buffalo 17 (For a little while it looked like Buffalo could upset the Broncos, but Denver dominated the 2nd half comprehensively.  The Broncos clinched a playoff spot with the win and would clinch the AFC West if the Chargers lose in Indianapolis tomorrow)

Remaining Week 15 games:

San Diego at Indianapolis (Critical game for Chargers' playoff hopes; Colts need to win to keep the perfect season going)

Arizona at Houston (One of the best chances for Houston to lose the lead in the Reggie Bush sweepstakes)

Philadelphia at St. Louis (This 2001 NFC Championship matchup is now the Irrelevant Bowl)

Seattle at Tennessee (A Seahawks win moves them one step closer to home field advantage; this game could be a bananaskin for the Seahawks as Tennessee always plays hard)

Carolina at New Orleans (A Panthers' win will separate themselves from Tampa atop the NFC South; absolutely crucial game for Carolina's playoff hopes in that tough division)

Pittsburgh at Minnesota (Wild card implications abound here; a Steelers' win puts them in the driver's seat for the last AFC Wild Card; a Vikes win could not only put them atop the NFC Wild Card chase but could bring them into a tie with the Bears atop the NFC North)

NY Jets at Miami (Second Irrelevant Bowl along with Philly at St. Louis)

San Francisco at Jacksonville (Niners could potentially take the lead for the Reggie Bush sweepstakes; Jaguars need the win to stay atop the Wild Card chase)

Cincinnati at Detroit (A Bengals win clinches the AFC North and despite it being an away game, most of the Detroit fans are so angry at team management that they will actually root for the Bengals)

Cleveland at Oakland (Irrelevant Bowl III)

Dallas at Washington (This is virtually a playoff game; the loser will be in dire straits to make the playoffs.  A Dallas loss virtually eliminates them from the NFC East and could put them a game behind the Wild Card spots; a Redskins loss essentially ends their season altogether)

Atlanta at Chicago, Sunday night (Lots of playoff implications; the Falcons can move up in the Wild Card and maintain their NFC South chase with a win; the Bears could virtually wrap up the NFC North with a win and a Vikings loss)

Green Bay at Baltimore MNF (would be Irrelevant Bowl IV but it could be Favre's last game in front of a national audience; this is the penultimate Monday Night game as there will be no MNF next season)

Manning Vs Manning  superbowl doesnt look as stupid as it first sounded right now. He will have to be more careful than he was last night though or else he will get picked alot in the playoffs.
Living iin Indy im real worried about this game today as we are resting our run blocker Simon and we only play LT. Couple of other defense players out too, so i think this might be the one were we get turned over--i'll be shitty too

PS   New England are starting to REALLY worry me

It shouldn't if their matchup earlier in the season is anything to go by.

The Giants don't have it defensively, and will crumble under the blowtorch of playoff pressure. Eli throws too many passes down the middle that are overthrown and too high, and you can bet that is where defensive coaches in the playoffs will be daring him to throw it.

Peyton Manning, however, has become even better than before, even if it is unlikely he will be made the League MVP this year. The Colts are much more rounded than previous seasons, and you can bet Manning has been poring over previous playoff games featuring the truly great Pats in order to get a better read on their defensive plays.

The Colts may not match the 72 Phins but I'm betting Manning won't mind if he gets that Superbowl ring. I think the Chargers will win this weekend, and I don't think that will be such a bad thing for the Colts.
Blame me for all the draft threads on RAWK
