Romo looks determined to make this as dramatic as possible, he wont get serious till theyre down at least 2 possessions

That knee brace is definitely bothering RG3

Or the knee, but whatever.

That's Giants fan playoff logic. Romo just playing bad out there.

romo getting them out of the way early

Hopefully the voters take Peytons **** out of their mouth fer just a second and give it to AP2K. What he did this season is simply amazing. Defenses spend weeks preparing for him, stacking 8 in the box at all times and he still put his team on his back into the playoffs. All Damn Day :x

One can only hope.

At least they didn't lead to any ********' point so that's a positive.

Wild Card/Divisional round has been scheduled:

The Dallas Cowboys and Washington ******** still have to determine the NFC East champion. But we already know next week's playoff schedule.

In a rematch of last year's Saturday AFC wild card game, NBC will broadcast the Cincinnati Bengals heading to Houston to Face the Texans at 4:30 pm ET. This time around, the Texans are limping into the playoffs.

Another rematch will finish air in primetime on Saturday night. Adrian Peterson's Vikings will head to Lambeau field for a rubber match against the Green Bay Packes at 8 pm ET. If it's anything like Sunday's instant classic, we are in for a treat.

Sunday's slate will start in Baltimore. Chuck Pagano will bring his Indianapolis Colts to face his former employers at 1 pm ET on CBS. It's been a ridiculous ride for Pagano and rookie Andrew Luck. The Colts showed on Sunday against Houston that they are ready to beat playoff competition.

The final game of the weekend will feature the NFC East winner hosting the Seahawks at 4:30 pm ET on FOX. Pretty sweet slate.

The NFL also announced the times of the Divisional Round games. On Saturday, January 12th, the Denver Broncos will host the lowest remaining AFC seed at 4:30 pm ET on CBS, while the San Francisco 49ers will start their playoff adventure at 8 pm ET on the same day.

The Atlanta Falcons will try to avoid going one and done at 1 pm ET on Sunday, January 13th. The No. 2 seed in the AFC New England Patriots will finish off the weekend at 4:30 pm. on the same day.

Next Saturday can't get here soon enough.

No flag on the play clock or the hold on the NT? Wow

 

[mjsaver]

No way they got that off in time, but its on the board let go !

 

[coolnclutch]

Refs cheating...it wasn't even close, it was almost 1 full second late

 

[dmxfury]

Nice job by Dallas to have the turnovers but not give up any points

 

[dakid23]

The NFL must know something we don't.

 

[651akathepaul]

******** are in that spot for the moment because they have a better record then the Cowboys. I know this also because I know that the Cowboys are winning tonight.

Stupid decision there by dallas

Dallas also had guys getting off the field late.

 

[lightweight champion]

Can somebody explain to me how the tiebreaker between these teams works?

Dallas is 3-2 vs NFC East teams
Washington is 7-4 vs NFC East teams

Dallas is 5-6 vs NFC teams
Washington is 7-4 vs NFC teams

Even if Dallas wins tonight they would be 1-1 vs Washington, 4-2 vs NFC teams like Washington, but only 6-6 vs NFC teams compared to Washington being 7-5.

I think they shouldve attempted the FG, theyre playing not to lose and leaving possible pts on the field.

It wouldve been a hard kick but they should stay agressive instead of trying to make a perfect punt.

OR you can punt it with 38 seconds left, instead of risking a miss and setting Washington up at mid field. Dallas made the right call.

great season by ap but manning is getting that mvp. minnesota with the sixth spot is what kills ap's chances.

Its all perspective

This could be a close game, any chance at points shouldnt be taken lightly....i just prefer an aggressive coaching style i guess , i doubt Belichick punts in that situation.

Denver won their division last year with Tim Tebow. Minnesota would have maybe 3 wins without AP.

Keep in mind, Dallas got the ball to start the second half. I see what you're saying and considering the game is still tied, you're right about taking chances for points...but at the same time, you don't want to give the other team a chance at points. I still believe it was wise to play for field position.

if youre using last year as a basis, manning was on the colts and without him they had the worst record. ap had an awesome year but that record doesnt help his case. it wont even be close. ap will get offensive player of the year.

I feel bad for Ware, RGIII just toying with dude
