Giants don't like big leads. A 3-touchdown lead becomes 1, and Dallas was ready to stop the Giants again. Instead, Eli escapes twice and finds Cruz leading to extra points.
Only now can I say the Giants win the division. Now can they win a "home" playoff game?

So, next weekend:
AFC: (6)Cincinnati at (3)Houston (5)Pittsburgh at (4)Denver NFC: (6)Detroit at (3)New Orleans (5)Atlanta at (4)New York For the AFC Bye teams: New England faces the lowest advancing seed, so they can play anybody but Houston in two weeks (Ironically, I think they would rather play Houston than Pittsburgh). Baltimore faces the highest advancing seed, so they can play anybody but Cincy in two weeks. For the NFC bye teams: Green Bay faces the lowest advancing seed, so they can play anybody but New Orleans in two weeks. San Francisco faces the highest advancing seed, so can play anybody but Detroit in two weeks. Last edited by Dilla; 2012-01-02 at 00:00. |

Nice job by the Giants in taking the #4 seed. They can be a real hair-puller at times, but Manning and Cruz were just electric tonight. And their offensive line has improved big time. You'd figure they will be able to account for Atlanta. Interesting bit of fate for the Giants in the last few weeks. Last week - They beat Rex Ryan. Tonight - They beat Rob Ryan. Next week - They can beat Matt Ryan. Not related to those two by blood, but it would still be hilarious.

The lower seeded teams in the AFC will likely be the favorites against the home teams.
Funny. Quote:
I say if Matt Flynn moves by trade, it'll be Washington due to their general habits. If Matt Flynn becomes a free agent, I imagine that he'll go somewhere on the cusp of the playoffs like Seattle. Personally, I'm hoping Seattle. |

Washington are years away from being contenders - they're in a long rebuilding phase that Shananhan has freely admitted. Carroll has Seattle with some decent defense, great RB, some improving WRs but no decent QB. Flynn would be a great fit for them. If he went to Washington he'd have to suck it up for years before Washington improved enough. And as for Cleveland...they are a real project and I wouldn't want in on there. Seattle seems the best option if he can choose.

Matt Flynn is not a star yet. Hell, he doesn't even start. If Green Bay tenders him and put him on the block, he doesn't have the credibility to demand a trading destination. Washington has been known to fling draft picks and money around like Goldman Sachs, so Washington would be a likely destination. Green Bay could be Good Guy Greg like the Eagles were with McNabb, though. Possibly. Seattle is a place that would suit Peyton's personality. |

^They could probably co-exist fine, for a year or two at least. It's more of a 'letting go of the past' and blowing the whole team up for a much needed youth movement thing. Reggie Wayne may not be back either and the Colts are probably going to go through a large overhaul in terms of age. The Colts may decide to let Peyton go, absorb the cap hit, and give the keys to Luck from day 1. Personally, I would see if I can keep Peyton around and let Luck sit and learn from the one of the best in the business. Then, if Peyton wants to go next year, let him go. When Peyton retires, I wouldn't be surprised to see him on the sidelines as a coach in a couples of years. |

All this talk of rookie QBs suddenly ready to play is as wrong as it is right. Jawalrus Russel is now the butt of jokes. Tim Tebow is a glorified running back that's about to have the book clamped down on him in the playoffs he got carried into and we can shut up about Tebow-mania. Cam Newton is a stellar individual player no doubt, but guess what? The Panthers still suck. As for the outcome of today's games... Fuck the Jets. They couldn't have beaten the vagiants a week ago huh...hilarious, because that was the only thing that didn't happen that the Eagles needed to happen to win the NFC East. Ugh. Flynn going to Seattle...is a scary prospect. They're one QB short of a super-solid team if not Packers/Pats/Saints tier. Anyway, time for a snorefest of a wildcard round.
