Traditionally this is the weekend where some of the NFL's greatest games have been played. Every year we see replays of classics like the Dolphins-Chiefs playing the longest game in NFL history or the immacualte reception. What I'm interested in is your opinions of some great divisional playoff games that haven't received their fair share of fame over the years. One game I don't think gets talked about nearly enough was the Jets-Browns 2 OT game in January 1987. For those not familiar with this game Cleveland overcame a ten point deficit in the final minutes to eventually win the game on a Mark Moseley FG in the double overtime. It was an incredible game that has been overshadowed by the fact that the following week John Elway crushed the hearts of Cleveland fans with "the drive" in the AFC Championship game.

Well that's a game that I think has been overlooked. What about you?

NFL PING

FReepmail scott says to be added to, or to be taken off the NFL Ping list... This is a fairly high volume ping list

[Mr. Mojo]

I'm picking the four (rested) home teams this weekend.

The "in" pick is Balt. over Tenn, but I think the Titans will win comfortably.

[BGHater]

Looking forward to the Giants-Eagles.

Are you gonna post your own predictions or what?

[big'ol_freeper]

When do the Packers, Cowboys and Patriots play?

[mainepatsfan]

Last I saw Carolina was a 9.5 point favorite over Arizona. It should be higher.

[al baby]

GO RAIDERS!!!

[mainepatsfan]

The home teams won’t sweep this weekend...that’s the only prediction I’ll make.

[jpl]

I agree. I think every game other than that one will be a great game, and Carolina is just going to run it down the Cardinals’ throats.

[trisham]

I’m hoping the Titans win today. I detest Ray Lewis, who I believe is a thug and a psychopath.

[mainepatsfan]

It’s too bad that’s the prime time game tonight. I’m sure Fox would have prefered the PHI-NYG game instead.

[mainepatsfan]

I’m kind of pulling for Tennessee just because I really like Jeff Fischer.

[trisham]

Tomorrow I’m hoping the Eagles win. I like McNabb. He seems like a nice guy who loves his mother. :)

[trisham]

Works for me. :)

[mainepatsfan]

The Giants need to remember not to use a LB to cover Westbrook.

[advertising guy]

the Cards won’t be layin down regardless the majority opinion

..these two already played major league smash mouth this season

.. the real game factor will be the weather restricting pass routes on both sides

...

[campaignPete R-CT]

looks like the worst of the storm will be over by game time in NY & PITT. anyone have the energy to give us weather for the 4 games?

[GRRRRR]

Bears-Giants ‘85...frigid weather...Jint’s punter wiffs on the ball when the wind blows mid punt kick leg swing...

This weekends’ games may be the best four all season.

Go CUBS!!!!!!

[library user]

Titans, Cards, Giants, Chargers will be the winners this weekend (my prediction, FWIW). What’s yours Perdogg, out of curiosity?

[kempo]

Manning is a nice guy too and I’m sure he loves his mother. Now tell us the real reason you want the Eagles to win.
