I was reading some strong evidence on another forum (I'll try to find a link) that the writer of that article made up the article, mainly the quotes from the Patsies players.
My dream scenario: Miami wins Pats win Ravens lose TB loses Philly wins Giants win Miami, NE and Philly make the playoffs.
I actually want the pats in cause then next year the Ravens will have to play Indy and the Pats in the regular season. I want the bears to get in but i have a feeling the Texans will rip them.
I think Coughlin will play his starters, that's just his way. But he'll be very cautious about injury situations. I don't see Aaron Ross or Kevin Boss playing at all. Brandon Jacobs, Kareem Mckenzie, Fred Robbins, and Barry Cofield will probably play but their snaps will be very limited. Not sure on how Justin Tuck's dealt with last week's flu, but I can see him not playing the whole game either.

JE, no offense, but after taking some time off, do you really think the Bucs are going to lose to the fucking Raiders?
Yes. If we were playing the Lions, we would lose. The Bucs are under an enormous amount of pressure to not have a clear path to 12-4 or 13-3 and then find themselves out of the playoffs, the defense is beat up and their confidence is shot at this point, Oakland's cornerbacks can (will) blanket our lumbering receivers, and we don't have enough of a running game to offset that. Meanwhile, Oakland has nothing to play for except pride.
I applaud you. You have less faith in your team than I do. Even though I'm praying we knock the Cowgirls out the playoffs. How sweet would that be...
Whats there to have faith in? My faith's run out. Its hard to keep faith when your team drops 3 games in a row after having a first round bye clear in their sights (on top of injuries and big mouthed D coordinators).
Meh At least you got a Superbowl ring. Eagles have let me down FAR more than just this season. Lose the NFC Championship game 3 years in a row, one year due to a stupid ass penalty which led to a field goal. Then we'll talk.
JE, even I a dumbass Lion fan has faith that my team will win. Dust yourself off, and climb back into that bandwagon man.
