Yes, no matter what happens in other games, SD will play in Miami if SD
beats KC on Saturday.

I don't think that Dan Reeves will have a problem finding a job, but who is 
going to go to Denver and coach the Broncos?  It's the team that I'm worried 
about.  Yes Dan was a GREAT coach,so who is left to come to Denver?  Shanahan?
I don' think so.  Just because he was a friend of John's.  If he was such a 
good coach why was he let go?  Wade, well maybe, then they'll be looking for a
new defensive coash.  It's all such a terrible mess!!!  I guess we should just
sit tight and wait a couple of years until the Broncos get back on their feet, 
go to the SuperBowl and KICK SOME ASS!

Sometimes you can tell if a draft is a failure by the end of training 
camp.  Last year only 2 players survived the final cut.  We'll have to 
see how many players are left from the '92 draft at the end of the 
training camp 1993.

According to the paper I read, Richards was cut and is a free agent.

Can a playoff team still add players to its (active/IR/practice squad)
roster after the regular season is finished?

As I recall teams have a limit on the number of IR moves it can make
without exposing moved player(s) to waivers (or am I thinking of baseball
here).  Are the rules concerning movement of IR players still in effect
during the playoffs?

Thank you.

Here's an idea.  Why don't we call the NFC Championship game the
"Super Bowl" and then the AFC team can have a chance to try and beat
the Champ two weeks later.

Apparently you're too stupid to realize this Chad, but the NFL has the BEST way

I thought that according to the new pact all teams are allowed to protect
a player next year and two in '94. So 49ers can protect young this year.
I hope they don't have  any other important player turning free agent :-).
In that case all the above possibilities go out of window ...

I am not a fan of ESPN coverage - nor am i of Theismann. But sometimes i feel, viewers are expecting too much out of a coverage. What does one expect a guy to do if there is nothing but the obvious.

 someone has to state the obvious when there is nothing else to say! But again, analysing the statement - "offense will have to score ..." - Theismann may be guilty of being too profound that it seems to be so "idiotic" (!!). [Boy, wasn't that profound ------ NOT !].

Well as a Packer fan, this is a bitter sweet victory by the Skins.  I was
really surprised the Skins were able to score as many points as they did
against the Vikings' D.  In the last game of the season against the Packers,
the Vikings looked awesome and I expected they would go farther.

Oh well, thank you to the Skins for taking the Vikings out.  The Vikings 
had a fine year, and I congratulate them on it.

Yep. They broke my heart this year. How many games have they blown in the last five minutes?
They are a hell of a 55 minute team. Weren't they leading
S.D.
Minn.
Dallas
Miami 
and let them all come back to win. Those teams go the playoffs and the Browns
