(We knew the dirty South was bad going into the season, but DAYUM!!!)

As far as DA and his entourage being shown the door, that ain't happening either. Seeing Ma Benson give Slick Mick the game ball for win #200 showed me all I needed to see where this is heading. We have at LEAST one more year of this crap and there doesn't seem to be any motivation to change up the line up.

Don't look now, but with the Packers loss moving them to 6-7 the 2nd and 3rd place NFC South teams are in a tie for the final wild card spot as it stands. Only two non-division leaders have a record better than 6-7 in the NFC, the Eagles at 10-3 and the Vikings one game up on the others at 7-6. There is a very real chance for THREE NFC teams to make the playoffs with losing records.
