If he is it's not by much. Bradford is not a good QB.

I can understand either side. What I don't understand is why some seem to have a vendetta against Fitz/Gailey. It's not like they left on bad terms. I like them both and wouldn't mind seeing them in the playoffs.

Correct, but in a three way tie between Sea/Minn/Atl the head to heads are not counted since Seattle didn't play Atlanta. For Seattle, they are just in a position where in all istances, whether a two-way tie with Atlanta or Minnesota or a three way tie with both, they would get the tie-breaker in ever scenario. For Minnesota, they get the head-to-head tie breaker over Atlanta if it's just those two and Seattle has the better record. However, in a three-way tie between the three head-to-head does not apply since Seattle didn't play Atlanta so you then go down to another tie-breaker and apparently in one of the next tie-breakers Seattle and Atlanta get in over Minnesota. Now, Minnesota is whipping the Giants at the moment so barring some epic collapse it looks like they will get in and there will be no three-way tie.

A few things: the only game that really made our schedule significantly tougher IMO is us playing the Bengals while the Jets played the Browns. Chiefs are better than the Raiders but not by a whole lot IMO. As far as beating the Jets head-to-head, today the Ravens finished a sweep of the Steelers and the Rams finished a season sweep of the Seahawks. Anyone want to argue that the Ravens are as good as or better than the Steelers or that the Rams are as good as the Seahawks? Not saying I disagree with the idea that we could be as good as the Jets. Just some things to consider.

Washington vs Houston Superbowl

Yeah, in a three-way tie unless one team beat both of the other two or all three teams play each other, head-to-head is skipped. Since Seattle and Atlanta did not play each other and Minnesota lost to Seattle, if Seattle, Atlanta, and Minnesota end in a three-way tie the head-to-heads between Seattle/Minnesota and Minnesota/Atlanta do not count and they move on to the next tie-breaker.

Arizona looks darn good on both sides of the ball.

We were 4-12 in 2010 and Carolina was 2-14. Would have taken 2 move losses and even then we would have needed a tiebreaker. I'm glad we won today. I'm not concerned about the difference between pick 17 and 14 or even 13.

I still think this is debatable. But I will say I'd rather have youth at QB.

Cousins has gotten better all year. I don't care about the accidental kneel down, he's good. Turns out the Redskins may have found their future QB in the 2012 draft after all.

In my line of work, this is a crazy time of year and that includes the week between Christmas and New Year's (benefits, open enrollment, new plans and new payroll deductions for a new year.) I wish I could take that week off. Unfortunately, going to be losing some PTO this year.

While I agree Rex has been unimpressive this year I can't say I'm as surprised as most. Nothing about his tenure with the Jets suggested he was going to turn this team around, at least not in his first season. Okay, maybe the struggles in New York had more to do with the terrible front office of the Jets. However it could also be that Rex is not a very good HC.

One idea I've thought of is maybe the order should go by a cumulative record of say the past 3 or 4 years. Whoever has the worst record combined dating back to a particular season should get the first pick. That way the team who really truly needs a #1 pick is getting it. This may not necessarily eliminate tanking at the end of a season but IMO it's more fair. Still irks me that while some of us have been searching for a franchise QB for over a decade Indy got to draft Luck after the 1 year Peyton went down. Just doesn't seem like a good system to me.

Seahawks 1st round draft positions in the years before they won the Superbowl: 2007: no 1st round pick 2008: 28th 2009: 4th - picked Aaron Curry who wasn't even part of the Superbowl team 2010: 6th - picked Russell Okung and 14th 2011: 25th 2012: 15th So in the years leading up to the Superbowl the only real pick up they got from tanking was Russell Okung. Most of their biggest contributors didn't necessarily come from tanking picks (which I might define as a top 5 pick).

As someone who didn't buy into the hype nearly as much as everyone else, this hasn't hurt any more than the rest. I think the year I bought into the hype most was 2012. We had a promising offense in 2011 but our defense was just so bad it couldn't keep pace. Then we sign Mario. I thought by signing Mario and making some other moves our defense would be good enough that year to compliment a playoff caliber offense. I bought into that season much more than this one. Then we get smoked week 1 by the Jets and our defense which I truly believed would be much improved was run over...... by Mark Sanchez. That season was the one I felt most disappointed in.

Duke b-ball but none of their championships were nearly as big as if the Bills ever win the SB or the O's win a WS.

Bills 38 Redskins 37, McCoy brings 2 helmets just in case. But seriously, Bills 20 Redskins 13

Only looked at ESPN and while I thought maybe a few more people would pick us that's very close to the pick distribution I was expecting. We may be a little better but it's the Redskins' last home game and they may be a little bit more motivated as they have a much better shot at getting into the playoffs.

Fitz > Bradford. Yeap, I said it, and I stand by it 100%.

While I don't think it was smart for Pettine to say this, I'm one of the few that agrees with him. Wilson's a solid QB who benefits from a great defense, great running game, and good O-line. But top tier, as in Brady, Rodgers, Manning (in his prime)? I would agree that Wilson is not in that category. At least not yet.

Definitely not the Patriots. No explanation needed. No Steelers, while I don't mind them, we don't need to see them win #7 when some of us don't even have #1 yet No one from The NFC East or AFC South. Would completely cheapen the sport if some team can just suck all season only to get into the playoffs because they are in a crappy division then go on a 4-game fluke run to win a championship. Other than that, I'm okay with anyone else. Even the Jets.

I'm all for Rex staying IF someone gets on him about becoming more disciplined on his players and less of a "friend" or "likeable guy". If he can change that, I really think it can work. If he doesn't, I don't care how much our defense may improve with continuity and more familiarity with Rex's schemes, we will continue to lose games next year due to stupid penalties, guaranteed.

Two main things I never knew before watching this: 1. Buffalo fans chanting for Scott Norwood at the rally after the Superbowl loss and cheering for him when he gave his speech. Class act and glad to hear one of the dads talking about bringing his kid to teach him forgiveness. 2. Harry Connick, Jr.'s band member moved Thurman Thomas' helmet and that's why he couldn't find it.

I might also point to the 49ers although they are an example of making the playoffs despite having a bad QB. Obviously, Colin Kaepernick is terrible as we've seen this year. Yet, not only were they in the playoffs every year Harbaugh was there but they were Superbowl contenders almost every year. Came within 3 points of winning it all one year.

Sanchez always seemed to play well against us. Good thing Bradford is healthy: Bills 20 Eagles 17
