Congratulations to the Patriots for going unbeaten. The pressure will be ratcheted up each playoff game a lot more than it was for the end of their regular season run. If they can get through the very tough AFC field and then still beat the NFC champ (most likely Dallas), they'll truly be a special team, the best of the NFL's dark Caste System era.


I hopeNew England playsJacksonville after their bye week. It will be the closest thing to a racially charged contest within the narrow racial confines of the highly segregated NFL. Jax has been playing well, too, could easily be a very close game.

 

[Bart]

The Patriots very easily could have lost this game. Watson opened the game with a couple drops, and Moss flubbed a couple thatgreat players should snag. Congrats to Tom Brady and his record breaking performance. Hemay bethe most clutch QB to ever play the game. Wes Welker was huge again tonight hauling in 11 for over 120 yards. He leads the league in catches. I still think Evans and Eckel could pound the ball and wear down defenses if given the opportunity. Damn, I wish Belichick would play them more.


Once again TNB was painfully evident. I wasn't able to see every play because of other matters, but it seems after Moss scored a touchdown and did a jig in the end zone a flag was thrown for excessive celebration.I believe the penalty was assessed at the kick off which was promptly returned for a touchdown by the Giants. Then late in the game Harrison was tagged with a killer penalty of 15 yards. So many blacks are just not able to maintain composure. At the most inopportune of times they simply must trash talk,break intodance, or commit an outrageous act of stupidity. I just don't think New England is as sharp as they were earlier in the year. They should have obliterated all records in the passing game, but I guess the bad weather had something to do with it. Not playing ina warm climate, and not having the benefit of a dome certainly didn't help.

 

[Thrashen]

Let me just say how amazing it has been to watch Welker play this season. He, among all the white skill players in the league this season, has shattered the caste dogma that poisons the NFL every season. For God's sake, even DEION SANDERS said after the game that losing Wes Welker would be as bad as losing Tom Brady!

I really hope things are changing for the better in the NFL. After watching a short, undrafted, "nobody" white WR (who was said to lack speed and quickness

)lead the NFL in receptions and about 8th in overall yards....oh wait, that would be too logical, remember Mike Furrey?

PS - If TJ Houshmandza gets less than 9 catches for the Bengals...Welker will win the "Receptions Crown" for the 2007 season!

 

[Angelcynn]

I couldn't agree more Thrashen. Welkers certainly been my highlight of the first NFL season that I have followed properly. Did anyone see his block which created Maroneys first TD, unbelievable! And he's been doing it all season. I wish they would ask the questions 'why did the Chargers get rid of Welker so quickly'? 'Why did the Dolphins under use Welker so much'? He's already 26! If he were black he probably would've had 3 seasons as a starter by now.

yeah, i was just going to post it! he beat the defender into the ground!
as for his age, he was lucky enough to begin playing at 25, some other white players spent way longer than that on the bench before getting a chance...

Yes, the Patriots haven't won it all yet. The 1972 Dolphins trailed in the 4th quarter in their first playoff game with Cleveland. They fell behind the Steelers early in the 2nd half of the 1972 AFC Title Game.

Bob Griese had an ankle injury in mid-season and 38-year old Earl Morrall, who Shula picked up that summer, played the rest of the regular season. Shula put Griese back in after falling behind Pittsburgh in the AFC Championship, and he put Miami back in front. Bradshaw led a late charge, but the Dolphins held on.

The 1972 Dolphins were disciplined and didn't make mistakes. They were sometimes mildly criticized for being "unemotional." Larry Csonka and Mercury Morris both gained a thousand yards and each averaged over 5 yards a carry. The Dolphins could score quickly threw the air when they had to. Miami's zone pass defense held down almost every QB they played that year.

In the pre-game period before Super Bowl VII, Redskin Coach George Allen complained about the "distractions" so much that he had his team, "distracted." Miami beat Washington 14-7, and was that close only beacuse Garo Yepremian tried to throw a pass after a blocked FG. The Dolphin "no-name" defense baffled Billy Kilmer, and beat up Redskin RB Larry Brown (the NFL's most publicized player that year) so badly that Brown was never the same again.

Urlacher just had another interception and is really having a great finish to this season, plagued by back injury.

[backrow]

what a game for Matt Jones! Gray does a batter job at actually getting him the ball and so far he has 8 catches for 138 yards and a TD

he's almost matched his season total yards in less than 3 quarters

i am happy for Matt, he makes a great case for himself, proving he's more than just capable receiver and i am sure many GMs all around the league will take notice.

Kevin Curtis recovered a fumble in the end zone for the second week in a row!

[speedster]

Can you believe the BS that's happening on the Bengals last drive.They're doing their best to give Houshamenzendah the receiving title.

 

[Poacher]

TJ H. ended up with 9 receptions to tie him with Welker at 112.

 

[reclaimsocal]

Garrett Mills sighting, nice 18 yard reception on 3rd and 2


Another catch for 12 more on 3rd and 8

well, of course they are...

Garrett Mills waited 31 games for a chance to play in the NFL, i am sure he will make the best out of it!

Jared Allen has 2 sacks already and leads the NFL with 15.5 sacks! Kerney will most likely finish second.Edited by: backrow

 

[whiteknight]

Tony scheffler with a TD grab

 

[backrow]

wow, what kind of a terrible joke Troy Williamson is

a blatant drop over the middle and he also had a huge drop when he was clear of the least defender for a sure TD. almost makes me feel sorry for T. Jackson. almost

 

[whiteknight]

joe klopfenstien gets a 36 yard TD on only the second pass thrown his way this year Edited by: whiteknight

Troy Williamson is a fraud. If ever there was an example of a guy making the NFL based upon nothing more then footspeed, he is it. Meanwhile Mike Hass rots away...

 

[whiteknight]

Brian got his first carry for 3 yards in dead time

he also has one reception for 3 yardsEdited by: whiteknight

 

[Tom Iron]

Redskins are in - vikings out

That's AOK with me.

Now I'd like to see Cleveland in and Tennesee out.

Tom Iron...

 

[Bart]

Now I'd like to see Cleveland in and Tennesee out.

Tom Iron...

So far the Colts and Tony Dungy are making sure the Titans get to the playoffs.

 

[Don Wassall]

The Colts started white bookends at DE in Josh Thomas and Jeff Charleston. Giordano is also starting and is playing well.

 

[Cassiodorus]

"Redskins are in - vikings out"

It's apt that the Vikings season came to an end with a loss due to Lavoris' fumble.

 

[backrow]

The Colts started white bookends at DE in Josh Thomas and Jeff Charleston.  Giordano is also starting and is playing well.

yup, plus Boiman and Klecko are playing a lot, Condren is also in the game. now if we can see some Lawton in 4th quarter...

 

[Don Wassall]

Tarvaris Jackson throws 7 TD passes and the Vikings almost make the playoffs. Vince Young throws 9 TD passes and the Titans make the playoffs. Maybe Super Bowl L will feature two starting black QBs with 0 TD passes each, yet still possessed of rocket arms and great athleticism.

 

[ToughJ.Riggins]

Lovie Smith is truly a caste zealot. With the Bears out of the playoffs and the Bears playing the team that cut Hass (the Saints) if Lovie was a decent human being he would have activated Hass. Lovie saw what Hass could do in the pre-season and has no excuse for not putting Hass on the field for a couple drives against his former hated team that gave him zero chance after being one of the best college WRs ever! I am truly rooting against the Bears as long as Lovie is coach! Forsey/Hass equal team managers in the black mans NFL.
