The NFL isnt like the joke that college fb is. If they keep winning regardless of how ugly it still counts. Not to mention the joy i will get at the sight of the queer in the Fireman hat sobbing after the Dolphins wins next Sunday
I didn't say Douchephin fans should be depressed, they just shouldn't be thumping their chests like they root for some powerhouse. I'm telling you, if the Pats somehow lose to the Bills on Sunday, all of next year's Texans fans will see what the Dolphins are really about.

Doesn't matter what the Pats do when Miami wins, they get the title.

The Texans are close to being a good team but they aren't there yet. This year at least they had an excuse... the hurricane destroyed the start of their season. They played half their season with an absolute stiff at quarterback- since the 0-4 start they are 5-1 with Schaub and 2-3 with Rosenfels.

I'm sure of one thing for next year... Steve Slaton WILL lead the league in rushing. He is an absolute STUD in the making.

The line opened at jets -3. I would think the jets would be laying a little more than that. If it stays there, I would give the 3 points and take the jets at home in the wind tunnel.

Regardless of what happens, the fish have had a phenomenal season. Yes, they play to their comp but they win. This isnt the BCS meaning you don't get "style points". Are they legit contenders? No, in my opinion they are not legit. But does it really matter?

Would you rather be a chiefs fan? Or a skins fan? LOL (muffled by paper bag)

I'm actually surprised it's that high, considering how terrible the Jets have been since Tennessee. I thought it would be Jets -1, maybe 1 1/2. I think it drifts down.

Going to be interesting to see whether or not they keep the Dolphins/Jets game at 1:00 or move it to 4:15. I would think the NFL would want to stretch out the AFC East drama.

KC will win at least 7 games next year and might even make the playoffs. They are this year's Miami. So next year when they make the playoffs and everyone is saying 'no one saw that coming' remember this post.

Bills are toast next year, look at this schedule, 1-7 or 0-8 on the road is very likely even if they improve significantly from this year:

Home: Miami, New England, New York Jets, Houston, Indianapolis, New Orleans, Tampa Bay, Cincinnati or Cleveland

Away: Miami, New England, New York Jets, Atlanta, Carolina, Jacksonville, Kansas City, Tennessee

Analyzing schedules a year in advance is completely useless. Half of those teams will end up being mediocre to terrible.

The Chiefs will not make the playoffs. San Diego will will win the west as Merriman returns and their defence stiffins.

There are too many other quality teams in the AFC that KC would have to leap frog to grab the Wild Card.

KOOL AID

Texans will never be good until they solidify their offense line, their defensive line is getting there, but their offensive line is still horrible.

Look at any good football team, and you will see a good offensive line, and probably a good defensive line. (Look at Tenn, NINE SACKS the whole year, that is amazing)

Not drinking the Kool Aid, their division is too tough. But I am drinking the Slaton Kool Aid.

Look hooves you can spew all the s.hit about Favre you like...

THE FACT OF THE MATTER IS before the last drive which resulted in an interception, Favre threw a perfect pass to the retarded brother of Bimbo Coles and it went through his butter fingers. This was before there was a two score deficit.

Pennington is f.ucking terrible and you guys will never win a Super Bowl with him. To compare him to a future Hall of Famer is ridiculous.

In his situation given the options he had...yes.

We're not talking about a Rhodes scholar here. He's a tater from Mississippi who lucked out in the gene pool and got a cannon of an arm. Without it he'd be going from job to job and in and out of trouble with the law like many taters like him in the deep south.

It didn't help matters that he developed a severely narcissistic personality through the years while being coddled by the Packers organization. It also didn't help that he didn't have anyone close to him that had sense enough to tell him to sign contracts in his later years that would've enabled him to opt for free agency each year.

That's why he's a Jet. It's the black hole of the NFL and has tarnished his legacy.

The Dolphins and the Falcons are both great stories anyway you cut it. Even if the fish were not to make the playoffs, to be where they are after a 1-15 season is remarkable.
As far as the Jets go, they really have no excuse. Since they rolled against the 2 really tough games on the schedule in the 2nd half (@ TENN/ @NE) they have been brutal. To score only 3 points against a team that has given up 20 or more in 12 out of 14 games this seson is unacceptable reguardless of the weather. When they were playing well they were running the ball all over the place and utilizing Dustin Keller. Now it seems that they get away from the run, to throw the ball to a bunch of average recievers. Also, why don't they use Leon Washington more? I'm not sure if it is coaching or was the personal they have just playing over their heads. Farve hasn't been good, but when he's made some good passes guys have dropped them. But it looks like he doesn't have the ability to carry a team anymore. It's just another collapse from a team/organization that continues to torchure their fans. For a while the Jets season had a special feeling to it, but everyone should have know better, they are still the same ole J-E-T-S, jets jets jets!
