by virtue of miami's win on monday... this changes to... miami can win
the division if buffalo loses one of its games and miami wins both of
theirs by virtue of a better conference record... 

another way that the bills could lose home field... i believe it would
probably go to pitt... unless they lose both of their games... how
would miami vs. pitt work for home field at 11-5 records?

Damn, you good old boys just don't learn do you. You are encouraged
that the superior Cowboys had the Skins beat and then give it away and

WHAT! The Niners are about to punt the ball away.
It is a shitty snap, the the punter has to attempt
to run with the ball. He is tackled on the 4 yard line.
The Vikings D does it again!  Vikings have a quick
TD after 3 consecutive runs by ALLEN.

Hi Packer fans,

I was just wondering what exactly is a "Packer"?  Also, why was Green Bay
chosen as a NFL site?  What population base is drawn from? Milwaukie and ...?
I am going to my atlas right after this post to see exactly where Green
Bay is.

In my early youth, I was a Packer fan, having something to do with abysmal
Viking teams and being from the upper Midwest (and two Super Bowl victories :-)

I am a die-hard Viking fan, but have somewhat of a soft spot in my heart
(or is that head) for the Packers.

Just curious.  Email might be appropriate.

yes.  if the packers lose to houston and beat the rams and vikes, they
will be 7-5 in conference.  if the skins beat the raiders and lose
to dallas and philly, they will be 6-6 in the conference.  this would
put the packers in the playoffs.  i wouldn't count on washingto losing
two more games though.

the best thing for the packers to do is just go out and win each
game.  if they win their last three, they have a decent chance.

Maybe winning does breed winning attitudes, but the Raiders (lost SB II, went
on to win 3 big ones), the Chiefs (lost SB I, won SB IV), the Colts (lost SB
III, won SB V), the Cowboys (lost SB V, won 2 big ones), and the Fins (lost

Cowboys point of view:

First round would have been Eagles, but now it's, the pleasure of kicking the
Redskins out of the playoffs.  I bet the Skins are "really" looking forward
to comming to Dallas for this one......

Next:
No question, 9ers
This reminds me of last year, Redskins 11-0, "unbeatable" team.

We WANT the niners, it's payback time !!!!

Whew!

After building a seemingly comfortable 17-7 halftime lead, the Niners
withstood a furious 4th-quarter rally by Minnesota to come away with
the W.  The Viking defense was up to the task, pretty much snuffing
the Niners in the second half, but Rich Gannon turned in one of the poorer
QB performances I've seen in the NFL of late.  Particularly awful was
his willingness to take consecutive sacks very late in the game, taking
Minnesota out of range of a tying FG.

Individual notes:

Niner RB Amp "Ricky Who?" Lee turned in a great day with ~120 yards running
and two TDs.  He also had a couple of very good clock-killing runs at
game's end.

Steve Young had a very good day.  After an early interception that was
run back for a Viking TD, he settled down in the face of massive DL
pressure for a very good day.  The mediots were talking about him being
the MVP; not too bad a choice.  I imagine that Steve got a pretty good
look at the Metrodome ceiling, though -- he was sacked seven times.

I guess Harris Barton is a pretty fair tackle, after all -- his sub,
Ralph Tamm, wasn't up to the task.  Many of the sacks came through RG 
and Tamm was flagged for a false start that negated what would have
been #102 for Jerry Rice.

The Niners defense played great.  The two Viking TDs came on an INT
return and a five yard drive made possible by the Niners special
teams reverting to form after a so-far respectable season.

---

That's it for the tough ones.  Barring a letdown, the Niners will be 14-2
and the road to Pasadena will once again go through Candlestick park.
I'm not sure who I want to see visiting them, though.  The Aints?  Not.
Vikings?  By then Green may come to his senses and he'll be starting a
real QB.  The NFC contenders?  No thanks.

I get the feeling that the NFC postseason is going to be more talented
top-to-bottom than it's been in a long, long time.  Six teams and not
a dog among them.

	It doesnt go far. If the teams finish 10-6, with the Packers winning
	the last game, they will have split the head-to-head matchups,
	Vikings winning in Week 1, Packers in Week 17, the next tie breaker
	is better division record, and right now MInnesota is 6-1 in the
	Division, while the Packers are 4-3. So if the Pack wins they would
	move to 5-3, while Minnesota was 6-2. Minnesota wins the tiebreaker
	if the both finish 10-6.
