Here We Go Steelers, Here We Go!

It's so bad, they took the game off the air here in Peoria, when the score got to 38-3. They replaced it with the Chiefs v Raiders! Like that game has any local interest? Nope, just not a complete beatdown, like the Browns were getting.

Patriots looking Great, they are gonna be tough to beat. Ravens not lighting it up, but they should prevail, and be a nasty team to meet in the playoffs.
Saints, uh-oh?!

Re: NFL Week 17

While I don't agree with not rewarding Division winners (even if they do finish 7-9), re-seeding or just seeding the initial round by record could be more fair. Just look at the AFC, both Wild Card teams have better records than the Division winners that they will have to travel to play. Might be more interesting if Indy/KC had to travel to NY/Baltimore.

And the Detroit Lions go out on a 4 game winning streak. They have turned the corner I hope. There is hope for 2011. Are the playoffs in the Lions future.

I agree. The Saints are 11-5 and will have to TRAVEL to play the Seahawks at 8-8. That is definitely not fair. The Saints are a far better football team, have already beaten the snot out of the Seahawks earlier in the season, have a better record, but must travel all the way to Seattle to play them on their own turf.

Anyone who doesn't see an issue with this is blind.

You are, of course, wrong,

The Seahawks have a 7-9 record!

Hey, rules is rules You either follow them, or lobby to change them in future years.

Detroit couldn't even get losing right. Now they will have a higher first round draft pick!!

Bears layed down, I think at least since the game wasn't televised.

As we all know I am pretty excited about the playoffs this year. I want to see someone knock New England on there ashes, mostly because they seem to be the team to beat at the moment.

Packers eagles will be a good matchup, who is hotter Vick or Rodgers??

Why do I think the struggling Colts will be a good candidate to take out New England (Manning Vs. Brady)??

True, and this one might need some tweaking. It's especially unfair in the case of NO going to Seattle.

Scipper, a struggling Indy taking out NE would be something to behold. But I don't think it's gonna happen. No way.

How is it unfair. Seattle won their division. New Orleans did not. The wild card teams cannot host a playoff game. There should be a reward for winning your division even if it was done with a losing record.

Well the PACKERS made it. Philly will be a test we should be up to, Atlanta will be more difficult, but I can dram can't I? For a team with so many injuries, I would say McCarthy and Capers have done one heck of a coaching job. So go Pack Go

I disagree. There should be a reward for winning the most games.
