Seattle/Minnesotas gonna be a really good game this week. Both teams came into the season as Super Bowl contenders, but they have been sidetracked somewhat during the season. Seatlle's Receievers drop way too many passes, and they can't hold leads into the 4th quarter. Minnesota's had some problems deciding who should be their running back and then with the injury of Moss. Whoever wins this game, we'll probably see in the NFC Championship vs. the Eagles.

C'MON YOU PEWTER PIRATES!! Back to the QUALCOMM Stadium today...the setting of the greatest moment in the Bucs history...Superbowol XXXVII

Clean the floor with the Bolts today, we finish up with New Orleans and Carolina at home followed by the Cards...3 winnable games to take us to 9-7 and the playoffs baby!

Too bad they got spanked by my hometeam, the Chargers

[wils0646]

Wow, a sports forum. When did this come up? I completely missed it until now. 'bout time. Packers got another comeback win today and damn did they need it. Finally Favre didn't throw into double coverage like last game...anyone else see that? I wonder what he's thinking. Anyway, he rocks and so does the Pack as they move ahead one game in the NFC North.







Vikings suck

No kidding! I was at that game today! It was awesome! It was a sold out game, too, which rocked! I'm so glad we're 10-3 now. And if make it to the play offs, which will happen (lol), we'll get home field advantage!....but, it'll probably be against either the colts or the patriots....which means we'll probably lose, but you never know! hehe GO BOLTS!

I'm in-love with Donnie. Perfect time to make the INT.

The chargers wont have homefiled advantage in the playoffs tho..

NE and PIT will get the first round bye and homefield.

SD will have homefield for the wildcard game most likely against baltimore or NY

SD won't be a wildcard. They'll be division champs....I don't see how that could work. lol Denver might be a wildcard, but not the Chargers.

They wont be a wildcard, but they will still play in a wildcard game. They will just play at home.

Hmmm I wonder how many people from SD are on this board? We should start a clan LOL.

[FLYINGDOG]

Jags beat the bears and improve to 7-6.....Yay.

[Ace Hippie]

The 49ers go up 28-3, blow the lead to send it to overtime at 28-28, and then win it. And they say God doesn't have a sense of humor...teasing us with not getting the #1 pick, that's just wrong.

Dayum! How can the Bucs be so god damn inconsistent!?

3 INTs for Brain Griese? Ouchie...but as long as the playoffs are still possible (which they are 8-8 is possible in the NFC) we hold back from putting in Simms.

:raises hand:

San Diego native right here.

Next week's game against the Colts should be an interesting one, that's for sure.

Unless we lose all our upcoming games and Denver wins theirs, we're going to the Playoffs for the first time since 1995, if I remember correctly.

Now we need to hope that Brees or Tomlinson don't get injured.
