Green Bay smashed Minnesota in Minnesota but only drew at Limbaugh Field. Vikings will defeat Lions in the last game ever at the Metrodome unless Cassel gets injured I’d say.

Now he's too old but the Cowboys should have gotten Buddy Ryan back in the day. Must be Jeff Fisher in the background.

IF Coughlin separates from the Giants, likely, I would be sure there would be teams interested. Just not sure who.

9-7; wish I’d been wrong about more of them! Next year, I’ll keep a document of my pix and have the ‘guaranteeds’ sorted out.

“IF Coughlin separates from the Giants, likely, I would be sure there would be teams interested.”

I agree.

“Just not sure who.”

90-100% these teams will need a new coach

MIN
NYJ
OAK
HOU
TEN
WAS

50-75% these teams will need a new coach

DAL
DET
TAM
ATL

There’s gonna be a slew of HC openings in the NFL.

The winner of this year’s super bowl??? The Bears?

In 2010 regular season, Washington beat Green Bay at home, and Dallas lost to Green Bay at Green Bay - GB won the Super Bowl.

The 2011 regular season, Washington swept the NYG and the NYG swept Dallas - NY won the Super Bowl.

The 2012 regular season, Washington beat Baltimore in DC and the Baltimore beat Dallas in Baltimore - Baltimore won the Super Bowl.

Wait until the morning. After a few hours it may become clearer.

Shockingly, the Bear’s O is good enough to go all the way. The D is not, even in this year’s NFL where good defense is a novelty.

I think they can contend next year if they can stay healthy and re-learn how to make tackles.

SB will be SEA versus DEN in a snowstorm. Manning’s “legacy” is on the line. If he finishes with 1 SB (over Rex Grossman) and Rory Culkin finishes with 2 over the Pats, ouch. CAR is the competition for SEA. Without Gronk Pats are no threat to DEN. Who is? A hot Raven team? Maybe. The Bengals if they play like they can? Maybe. I think San Diego may be the best potential 6th seed but they probably won’t get in.

I’d be thrilled if the Bears win the division and get killed in the first round. A single playoff win would be icing on the cake. Interestingly, the Cowboys have a 2nd chance to help the Bears by winning. If Dallas loses then Philly can clinch by beating the Bears but if the Boys win Philly V. Chicago means nothing for Philly except 3-4 seeding. (Right Pete? Sports makes math fun, Pete.) Chip Kelly says it would matter to him but he might rest people or otherwise half-@ss it.

Bead Counter: “Green Bay smashed Minnesota in Minnesota but only drew at Limbaugh Field. Vikings will defeat Lions in the last game ever at the Metrodome unless Cassel gets injured I’d say. “

Right, my mistake. The presence of Rodgers was the difference of course, home field meant comparatively little.

I say good riddance Metrodome. Candlestick park is also going bye bye. Chris Berman is super sad about it.

“Levi’s Stadium” (tagline “The Field of Jeans”, fail) in Santa Clara will be the new home of the niners. The Vikings have to play at TCF Bank Stadium (home of the Golden Gophers) until a new stadium is built for them.

I forget San Fran, but I don’t think they’re likely to win in SEA.

Watch them go to the Super Bowl now that they are playing their home games outside (at least for a year or two).

Salve for sore eyes indeed :D

Didn't do too good this week. How the heck do Denver and New England lose at home...and...how the (____) does Dallas give up 34 points in the second half??!

I know I know Jerry could get the cheerleaders into the Lingerie League...that's a guaranteed winner hehehe

I think it’s real foolish that the new stadium is gonna have a fixed roof. They could develop a nice home-field advantage playing in the ice and cold.

But they could only get public funding for a roofed stadium so they can hold other events there.
