297.
If you’re a football fan, you know what that means!
Week 14 is over and so is Brett Favre’s streak. The streak of consecutive starts by a quarterback in the NFL came to an end when the Vikings made Favre inactive for the rescheduled game at Ford Field in Detroit for a Monday Night Football game against the Giants. Whew, that was a mouthful. The guys get a late start because the Texans and Ravens went to overtime in Houston.
The guys cover the NFL News as they discuss the cave in at the Metrodome, the injury bug continuing as Brandon Graham of the Eagles, LaRon Landry of the Redskins, Gerald McCoy and Quincy Black of the Buccaneers were all placed on season ending IR. Plus, did we mention that Brett Favre’s streak ended at 297?
The guys recap all the games as guest pickers Alex M ties Jeff with 11 correct picks this week. Jeff also wins the Challenge Game, as the Steelers spank the Bengals, but feels a little bad because he feels Steven gift wrapped that game for him. Finally the guys remind you to go vote for NFL Rants & Raves for Best Sports Podcast at www.PodcastAwards.com and to help little Deeds get his dog. Click here to donate now!
I emailed Steven with my pick change on Thursday. just sayin
Jay Feely of the AZ Cardinals makes 4 of 5 FG, 4 of 4 PAT, and scores a rushing touchdown, thus scoring 22 of the Cardinals 43 points, and he doesn’t receive a mention on your program. Wow! You guys really, really don’t like kickers.
So you said “the Bears need to win two games to get into the playoffs”. That is wrong.
1. Bears beat the Packers in Week 17 = Bears win the NFC North
One win and we’re in, but I’d love to have it locked up before this, as much as this would be a rivalry game to end all rivalry games. The Bears and the Packers have played a game already this year, how did that one turn out?
2. Bears beat the Vikings and the Jets in Week 15-16 = Bears win the NFC North
Two wins, and it doesn’t matter what the Packers do. The crown is ours.
3. Bears beat the Vikings and the Packers lose any one game = Bears win the NFC North
This is the one that I hate to include because it relies on another team, but with Rodgers possibly being bench ridden against the Packers it’s incredibly possible that the Packers drop the game to NE and we win the game against the Vikings and this is all wrapped up this week.
Vikings will be starting #3 QB, and these two teams have played before this year too. How did that one turn out?
So the Bears have 3 games, two against team they have beaten this year and one against a team that is averaging 5 points a game in thier last 5 games.
How much you wanna beat the Bears will make the playoffs, professor?
I don’t know how you guys turn out shows faster than I can listen to them, but thank-you! Just catching up with this show in the frozen wasteland of the UK and enjoying hearing you need the air on….
The idea that the 12 Days of Christmas lead up to Christmas day is an American marketing ploy. In the folk tradition they run from Christmas through to the eve of Epiphany, also known as 12th Night, which clearly makes a lot more sense. I suspect Jeff actually knows that , but if not I guess you are going to have to send back the partridge, turtle doves, french hens, calling birds and gold rings. Hope it’s not too late to cancel the geese :-)
Seriously, keep up the great work and kudos for what you are doing for little Deeds.
Now that Brett Favre’s football-playing days are over, I think he should start a band. I even have the name picked out for him….The Brett Favre Five!!
