To jmole, I just think Favre is on such an emotional role that it'll be a tough one for the Eagles.

Well it will be a great game. Favre is playing for his father and we are hungry as hell for to bring a superbowl win after coming short of our goal two years in a row. I think both teams are equally motivated and I think it is going to be close with one team not blowing out the other. This is probably going to be our last chance for a shot at it for a long time so I hope all goes well.

And you may want to read this: Link.

...but history doesn't bode well for the Packers. A win Sunday would make them the first No. 4 seed in 13 years to win a divisional playoff game on the road after playing in the opening round. (Fourth seeds are 0-13 in divisional games since 1990.)

Lol, but then agian the Bucs were not supposed to win under 40 degrees. :rolleyes:

I wouldn't go as far as saying it's the Eagles last chance. The game should be great though. This weekend is not coming quick enough.

Well since this is the year many veterans' contracts are over with, it sort of is. And I agree, this week has been moving way to slow and there is so much freaking hype here it is not even funny.

Temperature at kickoff in Foxboro is expected to be 3 degrees F with a wind chill of well below zero. Tennessee players are continuing their rediculous tradition of playing in shirtsleeves. You have to wonder if this is heroic or moronic.

Stupid and useless tradition continues...

I hope for Phillies sake that they can resign a few of their key free agents. They're a good team but I don't believe this is their year.

As for Tennesee, they have been rolling with what they've been doing. Line up and attire. It may be a bit supersticious to do so but they want to keep the same winning formula.

now that my pick to win the superbowl, Tennessee, has lost, i think im gonna pull for the panthers. i like their team. their fans were fun at the game in atlanta this year, and it would be nice to say atlanta beat the eventual champs and last years champs in the same season :) .. 5-11 wouldnt look quite as bad

Atlanta would have been a lot better if Vick was healthy all season. Any how this is the playoff thread and my two favourites are in action tomorrow. Here's hoping for the Colts and Pack to pull off upsets. Gotta love the underdogs! :D (Y)

No no, we must all pray for an Eagles' victory tomorrow!!! And now for a momment of silence. "May Darth Dawkins tackle swift and strong tomorrow and peform a full suplex on Farve or Greene, like he did against one of the Redskins recievers last game, to take those two out of the game." :happy:

we still could have very easily been a playoff team

we went 5-11

ill show you how our record could have gone - record in parentheses is what our record would have been at the time

week 1 - we won in dallas (1-0)

Week 2 - we were up 17-0 on washington in week 2 in atlanta, should have won (2-0)

Week 3 - got killed by the Bucs (2-1)

Week 4 - beat 23-3 by the panthers (2-2)

week 5 - we led minnesota 20-12 at the half. definitely should have won that one (3-2)

week 6- got owned on monday night against st louis 36-0 (3-3)

week 7 - game was close at first but saints were on their game this day (3-4)

Week 8 - bye

Week 9 - against Philadelphia at home, we all really thought this would be the one to end the losing streak, but once again big interceptions cost us a victor, we could have easily won the game (4-4)

Week 10 - beat NY Giants (5-4)

Week 11 - were up on new orleans 20-3 at the half. no reason whatsoever to lose this game (6-4)

Week 12 - led Tennessee 21-0 in atlanta. you dont blow 21 point leads at home. (7-4)

Week 13 - Reeves decides to go for a field goal rather than an TD, but it was 4th and 24 and houston played a better game. (7-5)

Week 14 - Vick starts. we beat carolina in OT ( 8-5)

Week 15 - Indianapolis beat us bad (8-6)

Week 16 - We beat Tampa (9-6)

Week 17 - We beat Jacksonville (10-6)

10-6 and a likely playoff berth. It was awful watching this team with so much talent just throwing their season away with stupid plays and poor coaching. Things will be different next year. new coaching staff and hopefully vick will be back.

ok you guys with teams in the playoffs can have your thread back now

Good Job Peyton Manning. Kansas City didn't know how to defend. Anyway, even though the scores looked very even, Most will agree it was rather one sided. I didn't even count how many TDs came from Passing, but it was maybe 1 or 2, as the dominating force in KC was obviously Priest Holmes! And Hats off to Dante Hall also! And Now we see just what IND's Defense is capable of.

      If you actually used it instead of responding like a petulant child you might be surprised. I switched from Google some time ago and have been very satisfied.
    • [NEWS] Over 105000 games are available to play on Linux.

      By FateTrap · Posted

      I am one of the first people to use the DXVK technology. In the channel below you can see some videos that I have made using this technology, including Assassin's Creed Odyssey. https://www.youtube.com/@nahum7995/videos Assassin's Creed Odyssey experienced several bugs and technical issues during its first months after release. It launched with its own fair share of funny but frustrating glitches. I ran it on DXVK 9 days after its release and I played it for many hours but didn't see a single significant bug on Linux. Assassin's Creed Odyssey is widely celebrated for pushing the franchise in bold new directions and specifically for nailing several elements better than any other title in the AC series: Player Choice & Branching Narrative, The Mercenary & Cultist System, Mythological Integration, Overpowered Combat Abilities, Open World Exploration But what I'm trying to point out is that this game wasn't quite playable on most windows systems, until a few months after its release when most of the bugs were fixed. However, on Linux it ran completely flawless from day one, although DXVK had seen little development and refinement at the time. What do you think the situation will be in 2026 now that most bugs and glitches of DXVK have been completely eliminated? This is information from Google about these situations that I am quoting. In many cases, using DXVK (a translation layer that converts DirectX 9, 10, or 11 into Vulkan) can result in more stable frame times and higher performance than native Windows rendering. This happens primarily by bypassing driver overhead and multithreading draw calls that were previously restricted to a single CPU core. Older APIs (like DirectX 9 and 11) are largely single-threaded on the CPU side. DXVK translates these calls to Vulkan, which is highly multi-threaded. This reduces CPU-bound stuttering on weaker processors. In certain cases, GPU manufacturers (especially AMD) have significantly better and more modern Vulkan drivers than they do for legacy DirectX. Vulkan gives developers—and in this case, the translation layer—closer control over how resources are held in VRAM. This can prevent micro-stutters and sudden frame drops during chaotic gameplay. Yes, certain games, particularly older DirectX 9 to 11 titles, can run with fewer crashes on DXVK than on native Windows. By intercepting DirectX draw calls and translating them into the modern, highly efficient Vulkan API, DXVK bypasses the limitations and poor driver support that cause instability in aging game engines. PlayStation 1, PlayStation 2 and PlayStation 3 can be easily and perfectly emulated on Linux. In fact, modern Linux emulators offer high-performance upscaling, widescreen patches, and automatic controller mapping out of the box.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 PlayStation 1/2/3 games look drastically better on Linux thanks to resolution upscaling. Furthermore, it is also a fact that you cannot play many fun games on Windows either, isn't it? - The Nintendo Switch has an extensive library of exclusive games. - PlayStation has an extensive library of exclusive games - Android has "mobile-exclusive" games, meaning they are exclusive to mobile devices (iOS and Android) and aren't available on PC or consoles. And finally, it is also the case that in the next five years there will be games that millions of people will say you absolutely must play and that they want to play this specific game that released a few days ago. However, the other side of this story is that currently, absolutely no one cares that they cannot play these upcoming games right now.
