[Roy Mars III]

[MTVN]

Niners destroying the Jets

[BBfanUSA]

Green Bay squeaking by Saints. LOVING IT!

**** the Saints. (IRONY)

[MTVN]

(Ties are decided by Face to Face matchups if both teams won 1 game against each other, they go to overall record between division teams)

[MTVN]

Manning rolling back the years to show Brady he's still number 1

[Novo]

Come on Cleveland

[Locke.]

My beloved Dallas Cowboys have got a bye week

[MTVN]

Another thrashing today for the Browns, wonder if they will win a game this season

[Novo]

Thought they were playing later

[MTVN]

I'm afraid not

[BBfanUSA]

OMG How in the **** does Green Bay give up a 21-3 lead?!? I am very disappointed in my team. *Burns Rodgers jersey that I don't have*

Aw well, meanwhile in my favorite college news, Iowa State is 25 in the Coaches Poll

[MTVN]

Manning didn't do much wrong tonight really, the Pats were just a stronger team and we couldn't deal with their offense in the first half and then we made too many fumbles and mistakes. Didn't really expect a win though, least we put up a bit of a fight

[Roy Mars III]

plus you were going against one of the greatest coaches of all time

http://rumorsandrants.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/belichick.jpg

[MTVN]

One of the biggest cheats of all time too :idc:

[Roy Mars III]

say that to his face

[Roy Mars III]

say that to his face

http://digitalheadbutt.files.wordpress.com/2007/05/bill-belichick.png

[BBfanUSA]

Tell that to the Giants.

[Roy Mars III]

the giants are terrible and got lucky. won't even make the playoffs while the Pats will make it to at least make it to the conference title

[Roy Mars III]

Eli Manning one of the worst QBs in the league almost as bad as his older brother

[MTVN]

:joker:

You don't get 2 rings by being one of the worst QBs in the league

[Roy Mars III]

got lucky.

[MTVN]

http://i2.cdn.turner.com/si/2012/writers/kerry_byrne/02/05/super.bowl.xlvi.patriots.giants/eli-manning.jpg

A trophy Stafford will never get his hands on

[BBfanUSA]

or the Lions anytime soon.

[Roy Mars III]

we will win it within the next three years

[King Gizzard]

Cutler, the GOAT

[BBfanUSA]

Has anyone seen the rant by a Chiefs player?
Appearantly when KC QB's got hurt. the crowd mainly cheered and the Chiefs player went on a rant defending Matt Cassel and scolded the fans.

[Roy Mars III]

most fans are giant *****

[Novo]

Colt McCoy the GOAT

[Roy Mars III]

leading the Browns to a winless season

[BBfanUSA]

Also Saints did win last night.

Brees broke Unitas' record for most consecutive games with a TD pass and will continue to add to it.

Was pissed off that they did win. Just to make their fans **** for just one year, I wanted them to lose out.

[MTVN]

Great win for the Saints

[BBfanUSA]

Must resist urge to join the Texans Bandwagon

[MTVN]

Jags-49ers has been announced as the game in London next year, think I night get tickets, not been to an IS game for a couple of years

[Roy Mars III]

why do you always get terrible games

[MTVN]

Because only the **** teams will give up a home game, don't know why theyre getting the Niners here again though, will probably be pretty one sided too. There have been a couple of good games here though, Saints-Chargers was quality

[Roy Mars III]

to be fair, there are probably more Jaguar fans in London than there actually are in Jacksonville

[MTVN]

:joker: True

[BBfanUSA]

in my football predictions chose Texans over my Green Bay. INB4 Green Bay shuts them down.

WTF is wrong with me

[Locke.]

What's a good site for streams?

[MTVN]

thefirstrow.eu is pretty good, or atdhe.eu

[Novo]

How are my beloved Browns doing

[Locke.]

http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mbvdpgi4I91qf6f6wo1_500.png

[Novo]

The Browns are going to overpower the Bengals tonight

[MTVN]

Romo's most famous moment

9yh1DyvTuDA

[Novo]

What team does Ray "Voodoo" Tatum play for?

[BBfanUSA]

Vikings to have a home game in London next year along with the 49ers/Jags game. They're building a stadium in Minneapolis so this makes NO sense.

Okay at this point Why Don't we bring back NFL Europa? I have no problem with the international series but IMO if they're going to have 2-3 games in London, why not bring back NFL Europa?

[Locke.]

Romo's most famous moment

9yh1DyvTuDA

That was back in 2007 he has the best linebacker in the league to back him up now

[Novo]

Randy is going to achieve the impossible

[King Gizzard]

He sold the club a while ago, last official game in charge tonight and they could break some sort of terrible record for losses

[Locke.]

1 minute into the game and Sean Lee just destroyed Balitmore's #5

[Locke.]

****ing hell they love their adverts in america don't they

[Novo]

be quiet i am watching the Browns here

[Locke.]

Touchdown Cowboys!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Novo]

And it's Luke Cafferty!!

[Roy Mars III]

i have Romo and DeMarco Murray in fantasy, so they must do good

[Locke.]

Murray is playing great.

Baltimore just got a touchdown though.

[Novo]

Weeden!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MTVN]

Ray Rice coming up with the goods again

[Locke.]

Should do a TiBB sweepstake thing to get more people interested in it

[Novo]

Prediction game i think

[Novo]

14-7 to the Bengals

[Locke.]

Ok Romo is terrible, where is Saracen when you need him

[MTVN]

Sweepstake when it gets to the playoffs would be good

[MTVN]

The Bengals are going to lose me my accumulator here

[BBfanUSA]

We should try to work out a fantasy league next year. Me, You guys and Roy Mars

[Locke.]

Cowboys are back in it with less than 30 seconds to go

[BBfanUSA]

RGIII for Rookie of the Year. Such a *******ing Beast

[BBfanUSA]

Aaron Rodgers for MVP! 6 TDs passes, he and the Recievers lit up Houston last night

[BBfanUSA]

Ravens LB Ray Lewis is out for the rest of the season with a torn bicep.

[MTVN]

Going to be nice to give Rivers a beating tonight

[Roy Mars III]

another loss for the old man

[MTVN]

Rivers isn't that old :conf3:

[Roy Mars III]

http://www.midwestsportsfans.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/peyton-manning-free-agency-rumors.jpg

look at those wrinkles

[MTVN]

Look at that full head of hair

[Roy Mars III]

forgot to mention it yesterday, but the Lions win and are one step close to the playoffs

[Novo]

forgot to mention it yesterday but the Browns won

[Roy Mars III]

no one cares about the Browns though, the Lion's are a fan favorite

[MTVN]

forgot to mention it yesterday, but the Lions win and are one step close to the playoffs

Going to be hard to make the playoffs when you're bottom of the division

[Roy Mars III]

we will every single game from now on

[MTVN]

****s sake, muff a punt then fumble a kickoff return straight after

[MTVN]

This is a disaster

[Roy Mars III]

told you

[MTVN]

Not Manning's fault though, would have had a 70 yard TD if Decker hadn't tripped over and that pick was the reciever's fault

[Roy Mars III]

he is not a good team leader. Tebow never would have let this happen

[MTVN]

2URz_fApsC0

What a great advert

[MTVN]

What a second half the comeback kid is having here, 24-0 down at half time back to 24-21 in just over a quarter and no incompletions :worship:

[MTVN]

Now the Broncos are up 35-24, what an amazing comeback thanks to Manning and our D :worship:

Where you at Roy

[MTVN]

- Manning 13 of 14 with 3 TD's in the second half

- Ties the record for biggest comeback on the road

- Ties the record for biggest comeback in MNF

- Only time a team has comeback from 24 points and won by double figures

Just another day at the office for the NFL's best QB

http://image.funscrape.com/images/p/peyton_manning-14715.jpg

[BBfanUSA]

2nd Best

*Ahem* Aaron Rodgers.

Also as it's been posted Beyonce will be headlining the halftime Super Bowl Show. Wish it was weird al but I can tolerate her.

Better than having Nicki Minaj, Drake, and Chris Brown up there.

[Novo]

Anyone playing tonight

[Locke.]

Don't know, google it and find out then let me know

[MTVN]

Nah, only have games Thursday nights, Sundays and Monday nights

[Novo]

What about Friday Nights?

[MTVN]

Probably just have some crappy high school games and stuff

[BBfanUSA]

Usual schedule for football here
friday high school and a random college game. Sometimes big time and others little time.
sat college
sun mon and thurs is NFL

[Locke.]

Do high school games get shown on tv?

[Roy Mars III]

watch some high school football, they use to play our games on local tv when i played. sadly only we won two games in the four years i played

[Novo]

Think it's time me and Locke signed up for The Merseyside Nighthawks

[Locke.]

Merseyside Nighthawks - Played 10, Lost 9, Won 1

Looks like we would be in the starting line up right away

[BBfanUSA]

LOL, My High School That I graduated from is 5-2 this year. We were an average team when I went to school. Minus my Freshman year. I never played on the team. But We're one Nation.

[MTVN]

Vikings and Steelers also going to be playing in London now end of September, will try and get tickets to that it'll be a class game

[Novo]

How much are tickets over here?

[MTVN]

Cheapest ones are about £40/50 iirc, you'll probably be pretty high up behind one of the endzones for that though, last time I went we paid £70 and got a pretty good view for that

[Novo]

this is daylight robbery

[MTVN]

It's a bargain

[Novo]

trying to cripple me in these hard times

[BBfanUSA]

It's a bargain. I don't know much about conversion rates but tickets are 250 bucks a seat for a good one here in america.

What even more ridiculous is how much people will wait for tickets sometimes. The wait list to get season tickets for Green Bay home games is years long almost. (Very Big and Loyal Fanbase)

[Roy Mars III]

This sunday will be boring, everyone is waiting for Monday Night

[MTVN]

It will indeed be boring, the Broncos bye week

[Locke.]

A glorious win for the Cowboys

[BBfanUSA]

This sunday will be boring, everyone is waiting for Monday Night

Who wants to watch two crybabies? (Cutler and Stafford)

[BBfanUSA]

London Game is today. Patriots Rams I believe. I like completely forgot there was a game in London this week.

[Roy Mars III]

Who wants to watch two crybabies? (Cutler and Stafford)

what in the name of all that is holy are talking about

[Roy Mars III]

though if Stafford plays like he has been playing this season today it will be time to put Shaun Hill, the greatest backup QB ever, in the game

[BBfanUSA]

Matt Flynn is the best Backup QB ever.

I loved how Seattle signed him for a lot of cash and then make him the backup QB to Russell.

[Roy Mars III]

american football, the soft man's rugby league

[Roy Mars III]

american football, the soft man's rugby league

both are good, I have played rugby before many times before. There is more of an intellectual element to American football though.

[BBfanUSA]

There is a reason why we wear the helmets...without them alot more people were dying from head injuries or were getting paralyzed. Death from head injuries is a freak occurence now also Paralysis although it's happen about once or twice in the last 4 years or so. (One is walking again after physical rehab, the other guy is still wheelchair bound but is getting the feeling back in his feet)

And it's very common to see a player get a concussion in a game.
I do respect Rugby tho.

American Football is basically Chess Rugby minus the ban on throwing forward if you think about it.
Other than 7 vs 7 Rugby doesn't get a lot of attention when it should IMO.

[Alf]

both are good, I have played rugby before many times before. There is more of an intellectual element to American football though.
dont be silly, that intellectual that they high five and do a dance every time they make a tackle, oh yeh and the play stops, when a rugby league player makes a tackle he's gotta get up get onside and be prepered to tackle again.at the end of their sets of play they always do a long punt down field or a kick at the posts, on the last play in rugby league, theirs the option of kicking long downfield for territory, a 40/20 witch enables you to get another set of six tackles, a grubber kick in to the in goal to force a drop out, an up and under to put pressure on the fullback, a drop goal for 1 point or just basically run the ball and go for a try.

i am talking about plays and such. The best QBs for the NFL are genius's. Tom Brady has an IQ of 160. Rugby, you just hit people

[Alf]

hitting people is part of the defence, theirs also an attacking element to the game
bnui4JPsDdg

[Roy Mars III]

yea, but football is about strategy. you have to be in perfect physical and mental health to play

[Alf]

the semi final to get in to the geand final, bradford are leading but st helens have the ball in their own half with time for one more play, the final hooter sounds as they play the ball, but the play must come to a halt before it's over

sorry for keeping going on about rugby league in your american football thread but it really needs promoting. sadly it as very little promotion in this country,

anyway here's that play
VjhE7DOvD-c
now that's drama

[Novo]

Rugby is much better to watch, just the whole pace of it and the way the players can have half an ear hanging off but still carry on

[Alf]

yea, but football is about strategy. you have to be in perfect physical and mental health to play
so is rugby league, so are most sports for that matter, it comes down to promotion of the game, which is why overpaid grown men who roll about on the floor and cheat to get players booked or sent off is the biggest sport in the world, because it gets so much media exposure, i'm talking about football or soccer

[Novo]

Need more promotion for Tennis as well Wannashag

http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mchwxx3wBU1r1fcy4o6_250.gif

[Roy Mars III]

Golf as well, the hardest sport of all

[Novo]

Think golf belongs in the hobby section of the forum along with Chess and Fishing

[Roy Mars III]

all three are more popular than female tennis, which is has slightly more fans than competitive darts

[Novo]

Shame they don't get paid anywhere near as much

$6,916,920 this year

what are you talking about

Prize Money

Vika - $6,916,920
Tiger Woods - $6,133,158

[Roy Mars III]

Tiger's worst year ever and Vika's best.

[Novo]

But yet Tiger is probably still in the top 3/4 in Prize Money earned in the whole of Golf :pipe:

[Roy Mars III]

look at these amazing Steeler throw back uniforms

http://s2.guyism.com/up/2012/04/Steelers-uniforms.jpg

[BBfanUSA]

At least they got dressed for halloween.

[Roy Mars III]

I am done with the Lions for real, I am a Steelers fan now

[Alf]

my team is the bears, ever since their great team of 86, with the likes of walter payton and william "the refrigerater" perry
are they any good these days?

[BBfanUSA]

Also Not really Cutler sucks. But they did make it to the super bowl about 5 years ago.

[MTVN]

Bit of a shame the London game was so one sided, sort of expected it to be even though the Pats haven't been amazing this year

[MTVN]

Another week, another thrashing being handed out by Manning

[Roy Mars III]

did everyone see the Lions destroy the Seahawks

[BBfanUSA]

Tebow is rumored to be traded to the Jags.

[MTVN]

Tebow > Sanchez & Gabbart, should be starting wherever he is :idc:

The one we've all been waiting for tonight, going to be a thriller

[BBfanUSA]

Yay for Chiefs Meltdown!!!!!!!!!! I only watched about 4 minutes and I saw like 2 Chargers Defense TDs.

[MTVN]

I love how bad the West is, we should win this division quite comfortably, don't think the Chargers were as good as the scoreline suggests

[BBfanUSA]

I need to say this. This last weekend in College Football a player dislocated his whole knee, Yes his whole knee. The player had a torn ACL, MCL, a bunch of other stuff as a result of the dislocated knee.

[BBfanUSA]

So today for the early games in my area I have Broncos vs Bengals on CBS and Cardinals @ Packers on FOX.

Watching Packers right now. Arizona this year is not to be toyed with, take them very seriously. Wow very interesting INT by William Gay.

[Locke.]

Cowboys just lost again. 9 losses in 13 games.

[Roy Mars III]

Hope everyone the Lions destroy Jacksonville. We are now officially on a winning streak, and the playoffs have never been closer

[BBfanUSA]

Watch out Green Bay's Coming.

Also I take pride in knowing that Chicago's only loss was against us.

[MTVN]

How bout them Broncos

[BBfanUSA]

In College Football the #1, Alabama just fell at home versus Texas A&M.

As I am a Big 12 fan, I get to say Big 12 > SEC for a little while. (TA&M was in the Big 12)

[MTVN]

How are the Fighting Irish doing this season

[BBfanUSA]

Undefeated as of right now. In the running for the BCS championship, in order to get in they have to continue being that, and either Kansas State or Oregon has to lose. (They're also undefeated and 1-2 in the BCS Ranking)

[BBfanUSA]

ATL is about to fall. I actually chose the Saints in my prediction poll by accident I think.

UPDATE ATL loses for the first time this year to the Saints. God I hope to god this doesn't give Saints Momentum. I cannot stand their fans

Also Giants are having a EPIC meltdown vs Bengals.

[BBfanUSA]

Two QBs will be out for at least a week maybe more for Vick.

Vick has a Eye injury and Concussion
QB Alex Smith (49ers) has a Concussion as well.

[MTVN]

Browns might be about to win their first away game in over a year against the Cowboys

[BBfanUSA]

Reminder:
This thursday will have 3 games being played due to Thanksgiving.

Also The Last Monday Night Football Game of the regular season will be played on the Saturday before so players can spend Xmas Eve and Xmas with families.

Also Roy Mars III SUCK IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Green Bay Clutch Mode Strikes Again!

[MTVN]

Our Defense :worship:

[BBfanUSA]

Oh yeah Notre Dame Fighting Irish is Number 1 in the BCS Poll which means as of now they're playing for the national championship.

They have one more opponent in the form of the USC Trojans. Win and they're locked into the national championship lose and more than likely it's going to be another boring All SEC championship with Bama and Florida barring them losing to Florida State this weekend.

[Roy Mars III]

Lions 49 Texans 27

Think I'll take a nap through this game so I'm awake for the other two, this is just the warm up really

[Legend killer]

Update on Tom Brady please have been drifting in and out since NBA season started

[MTVN]

Had a bit of a shaky start but the Pats have won 4 straight and are comfortably top of their division at 7-3, Brady is as good as ever and still the second best QB in the league

[Legend killer]

Thank you as always MTVN

Will try to keep up to date more

[MTVN]

Houston going to sneak it here

[MTVN]

What has Pettigrew done

[MTVN]

What has Schaub done

[MTVN]

What has Hanson done

[MTVN]

What a game, wonder how Roy's feeling right now :xyxwave:

[BBfanUSA]

Probably in pain, agonizing pain. Like How I felt when GB "Lost" to Seattle.

Watching Dal and Wsh.

I thought the first game would so hilariously tie.

[BBfanUSA]

We know that Washington is going to win this game.

[MTVN]

About to win my first bet in about 2 months here, if the Falcons can keep their lead between 7-12

[BBfanUSA]

Better hope that this TD is overturned. :Joker:

You got jinxed

[MTVN]

Ah shiiiiitttt

[BBfanUSA]

Yeah, It's the Saints Ball and no TD.

BTW How R U Viewing this game?

[BBfanUSA]

Amazing interception!

Wait Brees Threw 5 INTs? What in the hell? :joker:

[MTVN]

Yeah, It's the Saints Ball and no TD.

BTW How R U Viewing this game?

Sky Sports show TNF every week

The end to this game has been crazy

[MTVN]

Yesssss

[BBfanUSA]

Okay I was just wondering.

So ESPN America gets Sunday Night Football (Al Micheals is amazing, Cris no so much), Monday Night Football (Mike Tirico and Jon Gruden are amazing)


If I could choose, I would have the super bowl commentary should be Mike Tirico and Jon Gruden (Whose's rumored to get the Saints Job in the offseason)

I hate FOX's main team (Buck and Aikman) and could care less about CBS' Don't even know them because I watch mainly NFC games which are on FOX.

(For non SNF/MNF/TNF, All AFC team games and AFC @ NFC Games are on CBS, All NFC Games and NFC at AFC games are on FOX)

[BBfanUSA]

It's Sunday.

Today I'm watching Green Bay Manhandle Minnesota.

[BBfanUSA]

There's a high possibilty of Colts (More than likely they'll get in the playoff via Wildcard) and Broncos facing each other in the playoffs. Wow, we might get our Luck vs P. Manning matchup sooner than we thought

[MTVN]

The big one tonight

[MTVN]

http://sphotos-g.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-prn1/31617_10151358220126318_539923453_n.jpg

[BBfanUSA]

Just turned the game on.

And the score is...not surprising at all. Go Denver!

[MTVN]

Nice and comfortable win as expected, we really do own the West

[BBfanUSA]

Best Division
NFC West
NFC South
NFC North
AFC North
AFC South
AFC East
AFC West (Minus Broncos Of Course)
*Huge Gap*
NFC East

[MTVN]

Probably say the AFC East is better than the West, SD, Oakland and KC have all been absolutely terrible this season

[MTVN]

Was only a couple of years ago the NFC West was the worst division as well, great thing about the NFL is how much that can change

[BBfanUSA]

I'd Say Division Winners are all packed up except for NFC North (Whoever wins GB/CHI second game wins division I bet) and East (It's a dog race there)

and I fixed it, Thank you for pointing that out that I messed up my divisions. (Although Besides Pats, it's a horrifying mess in the east)

[BBfanUSA]

Another NFL death...this time it's Jerry Brown who was on the Dallas Cowboys (The ManU of American Football except they suck more) Practice Squad. :( Was riding in a car with a teammate when the car wrecked by itself, he died in it and no one else was involved.

http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/story/dallas-cowboys-josh-brent-charged-intoxication-manslaughter-jerry-brown-dies-120812

Josh Brent who actually plays football for the Cowboys charged with intoxicated manslaughter, manslaughter is lower than murder in the US.

If it happened in my state he would be charged with Vehicular Homicide.

It's Football Sunday.

Lions will get annihilated today by Green Bay

Yes but I am top of the league and Roy is second to bottom

[BBfanUSA]

Atlanta getting PWNED by Carolina :laugh2:

[Josiah.]

Pittsburgh is getting PWNED by San Diego.

[BBfanUSA]

Green Bay is now up by a game on the Bears :smoke:

Also RGIII, Sprained his right knee in the 4th Q this weekend, He wanted to go back in but the team didn't want to risk it. Tests showed no torn ligaments. I bet he'll be back very soon in fact is questionable against Cleveland. Redskins' Backup is Rookie Kirk Cousins. Who finished the game and won it for them. Robert Griffin III is also a rookie.

Man this year is the year of the rookie QB. The Rookie Of The Year Battle is between RGIII, Luck, and Russell Wilson (Picked 78th by Seahawks in the 3rd Round). All Three Deserve it imo

[BBfanUSA]

And Let the speculation begin....NFL and Goodell (The Head Rulemaker bascially, He's called the Commisioner, he oversees the day to day operations. Like a President.) is thinking about expanding the playoffs to 14-16 teams. 8 Per Conference.

I don't know how they'll decide but I saw it in a sports bar/grill here in the states.

Also Overheard that they're thinking of eliminating Kickoffs...uh wait what?

[BBfanUSA]

Football Sunday

Green Bay can clinch NFC North if they beat Chicago today. And More than likely I'll be able to see it.

[MTVN]

I am having my worst fantasy day all season just as it gets to playoff week, typical

A great win for Denver though, we can still top the AFC

[BBfanUSA]

Green Bay wins and clinches NFC North...:)

This calls for a toast.

[Locke.]

I see the Cowboys have finally started to pick up some decent form

Soooo, when will the Jets go after Alex Smith? Such a mess right now.

[MTVN]

Looking forward to seeing the Lions suffer another humiliating defeat

[BBfanUSA]

Tonight I'm a Seahawk Fan, If GB wins today and Seattle wins SNF against 49ers, Green Bay would surpass 49ers and they would be in 2nd place in the NFC. Meaning bye week.

Also I forgive them for anything they done wrong this year if they did
*Week 3*

favorite part of the Packers Game Yesterday other than putting up 55

[BBfanUSA]

Well, Green Bay's in a Pickle.

Win and they help Chicago get into the playoffs :P

The Chicago Sun Times actually had on the front of it's newspaper in Green and Yellow
Back The Pack Today. This is funny given how Green Bay and Chicago hate each other as much as Cats and Dogs do.

Also if anyone is looking for Monday Night Football and wondering why it isn't on. There is none due to Xmas Eve. The game was actually played on Saturday between Lions and Falcons

Falcons won and basically locked up home field advantage in the NFC but Calvin "Megatron" Johnson did break the single season recieving yards record.

[BBfanUSA]

Well this week should be interesting in terms of seeding since there's only one more spot that's going to either the Vikings or the Bears.

AFC teams
1. Texans (Clinched AFC South)
2. Broncos (Clinched AFC West)
3. Patriots (Clinched AFC East)
4. Ravens (If Bengals Lose or Ravens Win, 4 will go to Ravens) (Leading AFC North)
-Wild Card-
5. Colts (Clinched WC) (2nd AFC South)
6. Bengals (Clinched Playoff Spot) (Will win AFC North if Ravens lose and Bengals Win) (2nd AFC North)

NFC Teams
1. Falcons (Clinched Home Field and NFC South)
2. Packers (Clinched NFC North)
3. 49ers (Clinch NFC West with Win or Seahawks Loss)
4. Redskins (Clinch with Win or Giants and Cowboys loss) (1st in NFC East)
-Wild Cards- (Top 2 teams record wise minus division winners)
5. Seahawks (Clinched Playoff Spot) (Win NFC West with Win and 49ers loss) (2nd NFC West)
6. Vikings (Clinch with Bears loss or Vikings Win) (2nd NFC North)
-In the Hunt-
7. Bears (Becomes WC with Win and Vikings Loss) (They've taken a long slide down recently from starting the season 7-1)

For any newbies to Pro American Football.
The teams are playing to get into the Super Bowl (Which is the equivalent of The Champs League Final) The Super Bowl will contain a member of the AFC and NFC. So in the first 3 weeks of the playoffs NFC teams will only play NFC Teams and AFC plays AFC only.

The first week is the wild card week which should be the 1st week of January. The Top 2 seeds in each conference get the week off and the 3rd seed takes on the 6th and 4th faces the 5th. This will take place on Saturday and Sunday with two games on both days.

Then the Divisional Round Starts. Usually the higher numbered seed will go up against the top seed and 2nd will take the other. (IE 6 will face 1 and 5 will play 2 if 6 and 5 make it to the next round) These take place the 2nd weekend of January

Then the conference championships are played. Originally the NFL was two leagues, The NFL (Now NFC) and AFL (Now AFL) this would be where their seasons would end. Until they merged in the Late 50s to early 60s. Played on the third weekend of january.

Then they take a week off so players can get rested for the Super Bowl. (There's the Pro Bowl where a bunch of players of the already eliminated teams play a exhibition game in Hawaii but NO ONE CARES, I'm serious.)

Then usually the first weekend of Feb is the big game.

Also seeding is very important. Whoever has the lower numbered seed gets to host the playoff game.

Except the Super Bowl which is played on Neutral Turf. (Where a super bowl is played is decided in Advance by a few years, usually played in a Domed Stadium or a stadium located in the Deep South where it's expected to be warm. But I think 2014 or 15's will be played in New York's Meadowlands Stadium and it's expected to be cold that day) There's usually a halftime show by a famous artist and it's always broadcasted. For 2013 it's Beyonce. (In Years' Past it's been Madonna, Black Eyed Peas, The Who, Bruce Springsteen, Paul McCartney, Tom Petty.)

A night of watching the College football Bowls I think

[BBfanUSA]

A night of watching the College football Bowls I think

Me and My Family were thinking about going to watch Iowa State play down in Dallas since they were rumored to play in the Heart of Dallas Bowl. (Favorite College Team) but nope they're playing in Memphis. :( I think I'll go to a bar/pub to watch it. I really want to watch with other fans (I live nearby the Iowa State Campus and plan on transferring to Iowa State this fall).

[BBfanUSA]

Watching Bowl Games today.

I saw a pretty funny name for the Armed Forces Bowls. The "We're just giving you a reason to drink on a saturday morning" bowl :joker:

[BBfanUSA]

The last week is happening right now.

Also NFC playoff situations right now that could affect who goes in (Sorry I forgot these, I figured that they would not make it until now :P)

Cowboys are in via WildCard with a Win and a Giants, Bears, and Vikings Loss. Or Beat Redskins meaning they're getting in via Divisional Win


AFC Playoff
None that affects who makes it. tho

Giants are in with a Bears and Vikings loss and a win

Vikings can get in on a wildcard if Giants and Cowboys lose and Vikings win.

[MTVN]

Well well well, Broncos finish top of the AFC, how about that eh

[BBfanUSA]

Ugh, I didn't want to see Green Bay play in the Wild Card Games next week.
Seeding For NFC
#1 Falcons
#2 49ers
#3 Packers
#4 Redskins/Cowboys (Whoever wins their game on SNF wins the 4th seed and their Division)
#5 Seahawks
#6 Vikings

Next Week Wild Card Games
#6 Minnesota Vikings @ #3 Green Bay Packers
#5 Seattle Seahawks @ #4 Washington Redskins/Dallas Cowboys

AFC Seeding
1. Denver Broncos
2. New England Patriots

4. Baltimore Ravens
5. Indianapolis Colts
6. Cincinatti Bengals

6 Bengals at 3 Houston
5 Colts at 4 Ravens (That's going to be fun, Colts were originally a Baltimore team until they relocated)

I'll post who's playing on Saturday and Sunday Tomorrow. MTVN probably knows what channel they'll be on in the UK I'll post the US channels.

[BBfanUSA]

Well, Redskins won and got the last spot.
Odds came out about who wins Broncos are the highest at 5:2, Lowest are Bengals at 40:1

Ravens LB Ray Lewis will retire at the end of the Ravens season. A Legendary LB imo. Will probably be a first ballot Hall Of Famer.

Also Andy Reid has been fired from his job as the head coach of The Philedalphia Eagles.
He's not the only firing
Coaches Fired
Lovie Smith, Chicago (It makes sense I'm surprised he was though)
Romeo Crennel, Kansas City
Ken Wisenhunt, Arizona
Chan Galey, Buffalo
Browns fired theirs
Norm Davis, Chargers

[BBfanUSA]

Seattle wins the last game.

Here's my predictions for the divisional round
Patriots over Texans repeat of Round 1
Broncos over Ravens will be a rout but Lewis will go out with a bang.
Packers over 49ers in OT with a kick by Crosby
Seahawks over Falcons but it'll be close

[MTVN]

Reckon the Falcons will beat the Seahawks but agree about the others, although GB-Niners will be a close one

Worried about the prospect of facing NE in the Championship game

[BBfanUSA]

Huh, Green Bay and Patriots are still in it and the Super Bowl is in New Orleans this year.
Super Bowl 36 had Packers and Patriots with Favre and Bledsoe in New Orleans. Now both teams have excellent QBs again, Rodgers and Brady. They still haven't had a shootout between each other yet. (Remember in 2010 Aaron Rodgers sat out their game with a concussion. Matt Flynn took over and gave Patriots a run for their money.)

Also BCS Championship on right now here in the states on ESPN.

[MTVN]

Notre Dame :(

[BBfanUSA]

I believe the Divisional Round starts today.

[MTVN]

Manning on fire and getting plenty of time, a great drive there

[BBfanUSA]

I am really starting to think that maybe it's worth playing on wild card weekend. You'll be more hotter.

[Ninastar]

Ray Lewis :sad:
