As a Dolphins fan, I’m just about ready to pop the cork.

I figured the Pack would lose one game this year. Still depressing.

In the sense that the Packers are losing, perhaps. It’s incredibly \*boring \*otherwise.

Wow, Chiefs 19-7 over the Packers with about 5 min left. I always liked Romeo Crennel as a person and as a coordinator, he sucked as a head coach in Cleveland but it feels nice to see him pull the upset of the season (if the score holds). Go Chiefs.

It looks like Rodgers has channeled his inner Tebow.

Reggie Bush went over 200 yards against a Bills defense that has clearly decided to mail in the fourth quarter.

Are the Skins still mathematically in this?

You and Mercury Morris. And what the Hell, I’ll drink to that if the Chiefs pull it off. I want the '72 Dolphins record to remain unbroken forever.

… and the Chiefs make all this year’s discussions about a team’s undefeated season moot.

Indy’s winning while Green Bay’s losing. We learned nothing this season.

Gatorade bath for Romeo, no perfect season for the Pack.

Colts get their first win and the Pack go down. Weird day.
Eta: Speaking of the Dolphins, they’re trying to kill me.

I can only assume there was some sort of curse that tied their two records together.

I don’t care about either team, but it is a bit sad to see the Chiefs celebrating like they just won the Superbowl. I mean, good on ya, but a Gatorade bath? Really? You’re 6-8!
ETA: I forgot that Romeo Crennell wasn’t responsible for the 8 losses. Eh, replacement coach does deserve a Gatorade bath.

I hope the Colts somehow win out and lose the #1 overall pick, but that’s not even possible at this point is it?
I don’t mind the Chiefs celebrating at all. The best part of a shitty season is beating a team no one expects you to beat.

So if the Ratbirds lose to the Chargers, a team that always plays great after they have nothing to play great for, and Pittsburgh wins as they are favored to do against the Niners, the Steelers are the #1 seed in the AFC come Tuesday. I’d love to see the Patriots lose as well, but that’s not really necessary since the Steelers have the tiebreaker.

Is Big Ben active?

Rams and Vikes only have 2 wins each, so the Colts could theoretically lose the #1 pick just by winning one more game.
