Very true, 3rd seed plays Pittsburgh....no one wants to play them in 1st round. I think it's hilarious that both CInci and NE threw their games....mostly by playing non-starters in an important game for seedings. Wouldn't be surprised to see the nfl implement rules to mandate against stuff like this in the future.
I mentioned in an earlier thread the old rule about playing divison rivals in the first round.
Seems if they (NFL) reinstitute that rule... It would solve some of the probs.
-
So this means with NE and CIN losing today... CIN will be playing PITT in the WC round of the playoffs. They will have the 3rd seed.
That means CIN's road to SB XL will be through Denver. Am I right?
Isn't there a rule where two divisonal rivals can't play in the first round? Or was that an old rule?
If CIN would have won the last two games, how would they have done in tiebreaker situation with Denver?

For the last two January's bald eagles have been spotted nesting here in South Chicago. This has to be the first time in well over 100 years that such a thing is taking place. The water is also freezing very solid in parts along this stretch of river.
Who would have thought it? Eagles back in an area that for years upon years has been totally devoted to heavy industry... Even within the limits of superfund sites.
Things must be getting better!

...You will still have to play one of them either way... And you won't have to ever play PITT on the road (that really has no bearing because during the season CIN-PITT split wins at each others' own stadium--- Might make difference in a playoff atomsphere though?) I don't buy your hype that you actually see PITT as a stronger than most team... You are laying down a smokescreen. If these teams are the strongest in the playoffs, they are sure to advance to later rounds?
Basically, the AFC playoffs VERY POSSIBLY will look like this:
IND
DEN
----
CIN
NE
JAX
PITT
In YOUR BELIEF that IND-PITT are the strongest teams, I MAY see your point if there wasn't a bye system for the top two seeds in place. Those are big "beliefs" and "mays" there. Then, IND and PITT would slug it out and one would be gone for later rounds But, that is not how it works.
It is VERY POSSIBLY gonna be in the WC round:
CIN
NE
JAX
PITT
And it appears that CIN MAY be on a collision course with PITT.
That is why, IMO, you always play for the highest seed. If an upset happens along the way, your team will hold a home field edge.
I am afraid your logic appears to be the same "thinking" that CIN took when they supposedly let Buffalo "win."
If Marvin Lewis is using you to chart his course through the playoffs, then CIN is in trouble.
My grandfather would say:
"Between the fox and the hound. If the hound wouldn't have stopped to take a sh*t, he would have gotten the fox."
Cincy better not stop to take a dump!

What is your point? Seems google is festooned (thanks StuckinCincy, I swiped your word
) with a lot of TSW stuff. Google: ExiledinIllinois.
Better, hit "I'm Feeling Lucky."
Even your handle made the first page search.

I appreciate your confidence.
That wasn't my point. I have no doubt what we are capable of doing.
What I question is the ease you think liberties will return to when the "threat" seems to be erradicted.
There will always be a threat from somewhere. To believe that things can be worked to achieve a "perfect" way of life is a little naive... In fact, it seems to be very much naive.
The Patriot Act is being used like a vaccine. This virus (terrorism) will always remain in the wild.
The question is, can greater resistance to the virus (terrorism) be accomplished without giving us the maximum dose of vaccine? IMO, I believe it can done with a very little amount, if anything.
We do not need a crutch. In the end, hard work and diligence pays greater dividends and builds greater resistance to pending threats.

If people think the Bills won legitamately last week then they have to think Mularkey is a better coach than Marvin Lewis........
cause Mike beat him on his field with a lesser team
cause Marvin let his team take the Bills too lightly
if the game was on the level then Mike Mularkey is head and shoulders the better coach
but it wasnt....pick six's and kick returns are easily concealed....it was merely an exhibition for the bengals, who want the 4th seed.
So what you are saying is that Marvin Lewis KNEW that he could not break into one of the top two seeds.
If that is true... Then before the Buffalo game, Cincy was conceding that DEN was gonna win the last two games. DEN did do that. How did they know? That is just plain moronic if they banked on DEN doing that... Especially with a game in SD.
So in other words Cincy is so afraid of PITT, even at Paul Brown Stadium that they would hedge their playoff future and go through DEN in DEN or IND in IND
That they would be so defeatist that they would botch their last two games so as to AVOID PITT, who they beat once already this season on the road. That they would also think that DEN's last two games would be DEN victory's (which they turned out to be). Your logic also indicates that they are also afraid of DEN. But yet, they don't fear IND or JAX? What makes them think that and see the importance of a 4th seed over a 3rd seed?
Why is Cincy so afraid of Pittsburgh? They will have to play a JAX (11-5 or 12-4) team that already beat Cincy this year.
IMO, JAX should be feared more than PITT.
IMO, the funny thing is that I see KC laying an egg against Cincy... No matter how "hard" you seem to think that Cincy is "trying" to lose it.
With that scenario, I see PITT-CIN on a collision course in the WC round. This would be your worst case scenario, right?
You always play for the best seed possible. IMO, things tend to backfire on you if you don't.

Ya right, keep dreaming. And where do you suppose "we" run them off from? I got some real nice snakeoil to sell.
Just like when we pay off the tollways... We won't need those pesky toll plazas anymore!

No. Probably most people are getting polled and know more than than these morons... Do you think they made the cut to get on the video? Probably not because once they edit it, it looks better if you just show the dumb asses.

That is not what I am saying. I think you are reading too much into it.
Haven't I been cordial? If not, I apologize.

Once... Against the "Statue" ala "Tuna"... Does that count?
Sometimes it is the luck of the draw on who you face in the SB.
A lot of should-a, would-a, could-a's.

So where the Bears on Sunday night... Maybe it was the Keion Carpenter connection that did the Falcons in when he INT'd (on the Bears only TD scoring drive of the game and MAJOR DIFFERENCE in the game) and then fumbled it right back.
Ya... Bills (or Bills connection) bad luck!

Losing a 20-point lead in the 4th Quarter is bad...but so it getting shelled 48-3 by a $hitty Ravens team...on Monday night football! They keep dancing with Favre about whether or not he will retire. Memo to Brett...it's over. You are a first ballot HOF'er, but stop embarressing yourself and hang it up!
I do have one question...have you ever heard a Packer fan go off on his team like we go off on the Bills? I never have. They must have the patience of saints up there.
PTR
Ya they got shelled last night... But, go back and look at the scores of the previous games they played... A lot of those loses are by 7 or less.
Week 2: Cleveland 26, Green Bay 24
Week 3: Tampa Bay 17, Green Bay 16
Week 4: Carolina 32, Green Bay 29
Week 5 (WIN): Green Bay 52, New Orleans 3
Week 7: Minnesota 23, Green Bay 20
Week 8: Cincinnati 21, Green Bay 14
Week 11: Minnesota 20, Green Bay 17
Week 12: Philadelphia 19, Green Bay 14
Week 13: Chicago 19, Green Bay 7 (Really a 7-12 game with Farve giving it up (INT for a TD) on what could have been a game winning drive.)
Are they really as bad as the Bills? Farve has always been the darling of the league.

The First Amendment freedom of speech provision prohibits the government from censoring any speech based on content. No matter how strongly the government may disagree with the content of what you're saying, it doesn't have the right to stop you from saying it.
However, none of this applies to the owners of private property. You can kick someone off your own land for any reason whatsoever. This applies to business owners too. Since you're entering someone else's land (Ralph Wilson Stadium), you have to play by the rules of those who own the land.
I agree.
Not sure if this was said already... Didn't plod through this thread.
Doesn't the county "own" the land? Thus making the "owner" government.
The stadium is leased?

Did you eat at browns or marky's for seafood , they're actually in seabrook but well known as the place to eat while at hampton beach....One time I was eating on the deck at marky's when a couple a kids were tossing lobster heads and frenchfries to the gulls, and the gulls would hover and swoop for scraps, the kids were throwing. Then I heard loud splashing below deck in the blackwater river? I look over the side of the deck in the water, wow stripers on a feeding frenzy, anyway found a new fishing hole... The stripers were even smashing the french fries,probally could tie a imatation frenchfry and slayem..
Cool!
Believe it or not, we never ate there. My family has a cottage at NHB (North Hampton Beach) and we have been going there since '01... Whenever we go out it seems it is towards Maine (a couple times in Ogunquit) or MA (Newburyport this year). Usually, when we spend a week there, we will cook out most of the nights and go out a few... On Wednesday we usually head south to the main beach, watch the fireworks and the kids play at the arcade and what not!
This past year we had seafood at a place in Rye, NH (the name escapes me)... Not bad but kinda casual (which is okay with kids). In past years, we went to Petey's on 1A (Rye Beach, also good with kids).

Summary
My intention isn't to rain on your brother-in-law's parade. If you've never been, go. You'll have a great time. Any resort out west is like Mt. Olympus compared to the Southern Tier resorts of WNY. However, if you frequently ski out west, you may be underwhelmed. Any further questions, just let me know.

It isn't the size of the wand, it is the magic in it!
Nothing beats skiing on ice/hard pack!

Really cool place. Skiing Is what you would expect from the that part of the Rockies, awesome. What i reaaly like about Breck, (now it has been eight years since I've been) is the town was very cool. Didn't have that Disney feel, but reaaly maintained some of that ols moutain town feel. Some excellant brew pubs bcak in the day, with good , decent priced food and super beer. Highly recommend the place.
Having said all that, Whistler be the place for the best skiing in the west in my mind, but Brec blows Whistler away in terms of ambiance.
Don't they have cannabis bars at Whistler?
Im my mind... I would take the Banff area. Lake Louise, Sunshine Village, and lesser known Norquay with it's classic cuts and steep drops!
Check out SnoCountry for all the conditions and stats.

Last time I was there was in '92. Had a great time.
You have 4 major choices to choose from that are close in "Summit Country/County." IMO, kinda like the choices you have in the Banff, Alberta area... Varying degrees of elevations, types of ski areas.
A-Basin (Arapahoe Basin) is at the highest elevation and keeps snow longer for better spring skiing.
Breckenridge... Nice town.
Copper Mountain... Never been there.
Keystone... In between A-Basin and Breckenridge
Next time I decide to go there, I might think of renting a car and hitting various areas while staying in Breckenridge.
You can't miss... Nice choices.
fluitie drop kicked....lmao
