I laugh, the Silver and Black are back and they are gonna kick ass during the playoffs. Go Raiders!!! Keith P.S. If the Broncos and Cowboys ever play each other I cheer for the refs. ---

Ah, the Vikings, with a potentially Very Easy Playoff schedule ahead of them. If the Rams lose, then the Vikings host the Saints, and will devour them alive. If the Rams win and the Bucs win, then the Vikings host the Bucs, and they always win at home against the Bucs. If the Rams win and the Eagles win, then the Vikings host the Eagles, and that’s promising, too. And then if the Rams win, and then beat the Giants, then they’d have to play on the road against Minnesota, where they’ll win in a repeat of last year’s performance. Ok, never mind, it’s not very easy. I just want to delude myself and hope that the Vikings can actually win a Super Bowl. Please? Pretty please? ---

This totally sucks. Seriously. Lots and lots. My beloved Niners are not in the playoffs and the evil, evil Raiders _are_? How did this happen? And Jerry’s _leaving us_? I hate this karma thing! At least the Cowboys suck even more. That is the only redeeming part of this season. ---

Dammit! Only the **Bengals** were supposed to be in bold! I’m an idiot. ---

I hate this karma thing!** It gets worse. The rumors I’ve heard is that Jerry might end up in Oakland next year. I wonder if he’ll have the 49er tatoo removed from his arm? I wish he’d just retire a 49er. ☹ [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-end-of-another-regular-football-season/47101.md?page=1)
