1972 Dolphins Safe Again, Saints Lose Again, Playoff Picture Clearer and More

The 72 Dolphins can breath easily once again as the last undefeated team of the year has finally lost a game. The Undefeated Colts were beat by the Jets 29-15. The Colts had the lead in the third when they placed Manning on the sidelines. The Jets then took over and won the game as they hope to get a spot in the Postseason. I would like to thank the Jets for beating the Colts. I would like to see a 19-0 team but not the Colts. The other former undefeated team, the Saints, lost a second game in a row as they lost to the Bucs 20-17. Its okay to lose to a good Cowboys team even though it is December, but when you lose to a team that has struggled all year long, you are in trouble. This win though will hurt the Bucs chances for a great draft spot.

The NFC playoff spots have been decided as the Cowboys beat the Redskins 17-0 while the Giants get destroyed in their last game in Giants Stadium by the Panthers 41-9 and also the Packers beat the Seahawks 48-10. What does this all mean? The Packers and the Cowboys Clinch a Playoff Spot while the Giants have been eliminated from contention. The Eagles meanwhile beat the Broncos 30-27 and are a step closer to getting a Division title. They will face the Cowboys next week to see who will win the NFC East. The Broncos playoff hopes are now in jeopardy with this loss. The Pats beat the Jaguars 35-7 to clinch the AFC East. Brady threw 4 TDs, 3 of them to Randy Moss. The Pats may actually have a chance in the Postseason. Meanwhile, Pittsburgh has renewed their playoff hopes by beating the Ravens 23-20. Both teams are 8-7 heading into the last week of the year and both want that Spot in the Postseason.

The NFC is practically settled except for who is the NFC East Champion. The AFC Wild Card Spots are still up for grabs with the Jets, Ravens, Steelers, Broncos, and Texans all at 8-7 heading into the last week of the season. For that week, The Jets play the Bengals, Broncos Play Chiefs, Texans Play Pats, Ravens Play Raiders, and the Steelers play the Dolphins. Can't wait to see what happens.

P.S. Urban Meyer has actually said he is taking a leave of absence instead. It sounds like Urban doesn't want to leave Florida and I hope he doesn't have to.
