Guess we'll have to wait till next week. Phili and New England....yes, Detroit and Minnesota...No way not this week. Lets send all the VooDoo to Seattle...Dirty Birds must fall.

That second one could very well happen, Detriot has fight left in them and no way the Packers hang with the Patriots with Rodgers out

It wouldn't of mattered if Rogers was playing, Patriots look like a fine tuned machine right now

I just like that we're discussing this now and not before the last week of the regular season.

I will take anyone of those scenarios along with the Seachickens giving the Failclowns the beatdown of a lifetime!

don't worry about clinching, beat the Ravens, then let whatever we can't control play itself out.

So Detroit has to beat Tampa Bay. I havn't checked, but that sounds like pretty even odds to me. But one of the other three sounds like pretty good odds, especially New England beating Green Bay. We have to hold up our end of the deal though, but it sounds like Detroit and Seattle are our best friends this weekend.

All of those could easily happen. The Lions beating the Bucs, I don't have much faith in that one.

Essentially the key to our playoff spot is Tampa Bay losing. We gotta handle our own business and some of the other matchups have some potential to occur. The Detroit one is the biggest long shot on the road. I hope they can pull off a back to back upsets.
