    Divisions New York Giants(win vs Dallas last week- Minnesota( Tampa Bay loss)
    New Orleans (St. Louis loss last week .

    Eagles - Great Story , Clinched Wild Card with win last week

    ---------------------------------------------

    Mo,

    I love the Purple, but after the past three weeks we are in real trouble especially if the Rams win next week.

    Although the Defense did actually get an interception this week and we look good while Culpepper was on the field.

    Yeah most of my Family are Vikings fans . Im the oddball Raiders fan . Culpepper needs to play for the Vikings to win , Bubby Brister cannot win you anything .

    Another thing when it comes down to crunch time , tell which QB's in the AFC you feel comfortable with running the Two Minute drill .

    Peyton Manning ? Very much yes , He can throw the ball down the field with precision anytime ,

    Rich Gannon? , Yeah , He can scramble , Find the open man , or take off and run .

    Steve McNair? , Yeah , he doesnt have a great arm but he can scramble for the first down . Much like Gannon

    Trent Dilfer? No
    Jay Fiedler? NO
    Gus Frettoe? no

    Another thing about the Raiders sucess this year . Last year Ranked 27th in punting average with a former Mexican Soccer Player . This year , Shane Lechler of Texas A&M LEADS the NFL in punting average , and Net Average . So thanks Aggies . And Rushing #1 in the NFL in total Rushing yards

    look at the final stats
    Tyrone Wheatley 232 carries 1046 yards 9 TDs
    Rich Gannon 89 carries 529 yards 4 TDs
    Napoleon Kaufman 93 carries 499 yards

    Yo Moe, was waiting for you to post. The only other Raider fan I know on this board.

    Great game to go into the first round bye. I'm praying that baltimore or tennessee can knock off denver. We have bad luck against them.

    Lechler has been awesome for rookie, maybe he can even win a special teams award for a rookie.

    Thank god we got an extra week to heal everyone, we shall be in full force after a week of resting. It'll do wonders to our playoff run.

    And finally the moment everyone waited for...Jano kicked it thru the uprights on a kickoff! 70 yard fg!!!!!!!!

    Merry Christmas Happy Holiday!

    Mo,
    Glad to see your Raiders get back on track yesterday.

    Well, my Titans have a huge game tonight against the Cowboys. I know Coach Fisher has the Titans focused on the game. They know how much is riding on tonights game. If they win they have home-field locked up in the AFC. If they lose they go to the #4th seed in the AFC and have to play the Broncos next week.

    I also found the following an interesting fact about next years schedule based on the result of tonights Titan's game.

    The Titans non-division schedule for the 2001 season will be determined tonight as well.

    If the Titans win, in 2001 they will host Miami, Tampa Bay and Green Bay and they will travel to Oakland, Minnesota and Detroit.

    If the Titans lose, they will host Indianapolis, Minnesota and Chicago while playing at Denver, Tampa Bay and Green Bay.

    Well it looks like the Titans will have a very tough schedule for next season.

    ------------------
    Titan's fanatic!!!!

    It was the first time the Titans sent an offense to the line of scrimmage with Eddie George in the backfield behind McNair to go with Wycheck at tight end and Carl Pickens, Kevin Dyson and Yancey Thigpen at wide receiver.

    So many choices, with a full season still ahead.

    "I think that might be scary for a defense," Dyson said.

    Dude have u seen my Cowboys play? [​IMG] If the Titans lose today they should be banned from ever playing again! Titans are my second favorite team, and they should have a relatively easy game tonite.

    -That its okay to play Shandon in clutch situations.
    -Mobes doesn't have to get the ball every single time at the end of the game.
    -That its okay to actually give the ball to Steve or Mo at the end of the game.

    If that ban were possible, I'd really be rooting for the Cowboys tonight. Personally, I think the Titans should be banned from the NFL whether they win or lose tonight.
