AZ vs NE would be the ideal match up in the SB. Ideally, we will have no black QBs or coaches in the big game. AZ is playing like the best team in football, but injuries have taken a toll on the Pats. It's good that Edelman and Amendola will return for the playoffs, but how rusty will they be after missing so much time?

I have really grown to dislike GB this year, mainly due to the way they have not given their white WRs a chance despite the horrendous play of their black counterparts.

I noticed that as well, however Nassib was in at that point to throw that pass, so Eli's streak of having never thrown to or completed a pass to a white WR remains fully intact.

Come on now...lest we forget that Eli once completed a 7-yard pass to Brandon Stokley back in 2011, his only completion to a white WR in 12 full seasons of football.

Compare that to Peyton Manning, who played with Ricky Proehl, Brandon Stokley, Anthony Gonzalez, Sam Giguere, John Standeford, Brad Pyatt, Austin Collie, Blair White, Eric Decker, Wes Welker, and even had a 1,000-yard season with TE Dallas Clark. It should be noted that the Effete Eli has had many white TE's (Shockey, Ballard, Boss, Myers), who he mostly ignored. The Giants' TE corps became as black as their WR corps a few years back and they've never looked back.

Anyway, great to see the Giants miss the playoffs for the 4th straight year. Perhaps the geriatric patient, Caste Coughlin, will finally retire?

I'll give the Giants some credit...out of necessity (injuries to the "real" defenders), Craig Dahl, Cooper Taylor, Markus Kuhn, and Mark Herzlich all started on defense a certain points throughout the 2015 season, which is more than can be said for every NFL squad except the Eagles, Vikings, and Texans.

Watching Osweiler vs McCarron . Who would have thought we'd be seeing these guys facing off a couple weeks before playoffs?

It was a disappointing week. The Patriots lost and weren't any whiter then the Steelers. The Eagles were eliminated from the playoffs and it may be the end for Chip Kelly. Another black player on the team threw him under the bus. Ertz had a crucial fumble, Cooper missed a critical catch, although the ruling was marginal, and Cousins beat up the leagues whitest defense.

Nice that Cousins had a good game but not at the expense of Philly. The whitest teams, Philly, Dallas and Cleveland are out of it and the Patriots seem to be fading. Green Bay isn't very good getting blasted by Arizona, and not much fun to watch without Jordy anyway.

Other then Newton and Russell losing (so what) the post season is looking pretty dark.

Both McCarron and Osweiler played well last night. I think Osweiler is going to get a long term extension from Denver.

Mccarron had also played very well - he is much more than the game manager he was labeled as coming out in the 2014 draft.

Hopefully Gronk, Edelman and Amendola all come back healthy for the playoffs and the Patriots right the ship. What will be a challenge is that momentum is so important heading into the playoffs. If New England has a bye and those three are just getting worked back into the offense for the second round game, it could be tough for them to have their timing down with Brady right away. Hopefully a few of the White offensive linemen are healthy by then also, not sure what the outlook is for that. But these are the Patriots we're talking about and they are the defending champs, so confidence shouldn't be a problem.

Right now if I was a betting man I would put my money on Arizona to win the whole thing. If that happens at least we will have a deserving White QB leading the champs and not some endlessly hyped black quarterback.
