how have the bears gone this long without retiring ditka's number yet?
No idea. Crazy that it took this long. And I'm pretty sure it will be the last Bears number retired since they have so many retired numbers already….NFL told them that they can't retire any more numbers.
I was hoping Dallas would make a big comeback and tie it in regulation to force OT. That way Gruden would have to freeze his balls off for another quarter. How did that guy ever coach in Green Bay?

That is a-ok. The fact that they were able to overcome their usual Dolphinisms (plays like this, getting killed on slants over the middle, etc.) and pull out a win against the Pats is awesome. Puts a lot of pressure on Baltimore.

Does anyone else find it crazy that Dallas will be playing for a winner takes all division title for the third year in a row, and each year it was against a different rival!?!?

it's actually their 4th time in 6 years in a winner take all game......the eagles beat them in the final game of the '08 season to win a wildcard spot.
the fact that they have so much experience in these types of games is the only thing that has me a little nervous.

If I were an Eagles fan I would be a little nervous over the fact that Dallas is at home. But I just don't see the Dallas D stopping Eagles offense. Foles is going to have a massive game.
Now that the Giants are out (and have been for weeks) and my final season is over, I can finally enjoy all the games without rooting for anyone. It makes for some pleasurable viewing

And now San Fran is getting healthy, they'll be dangerous.

Alshon Jeffrey seems to do that every second week.
No creativity on offence.
1965 style defence.
Talent... but no modern day game plans. Just my take.

I wonder if/how that will have an affect on their game against the Ravens?
Another habit says its long overdue

With Dan Dierdorh exiting the booth, I think he is now a strong candidate to become the head of NFL umpires next year. :geek:
