  1. Looks like we're down to the third string announcers too...

  1. I bet Nantz and Simms are disappointed that they are not doing this soon-to-be classic game?

  1. How to know this is a terrible game... Harlan and Gannon are calling it.

  1. Gotta figure the tuck-rule will be brought up, will be interesting with Gannon being a commentator

  1. In the tiebreaker with Miami....Wouldn't the Pats and Dolphins have 8 common opponents outside of the division? They both play the AFC west and the NFC west. The Pats would be 7-1 if they win out I believe Miami should have more losses against these 8.

  1. If Miami beats KC and San Fran they too will finish with a 7-1 record in those games.

    They need to lose one of those games. And we have to win out.

    Those losses to the Colts and Jets will hurt us in the end.

  1. Wny can't we ever get Gus Johnson and Steve Tasker?

  1. Not sure if I like Gannon calling this game. First of all, Al Davis loves him like a son, and Im sure his a$$ still burns from the tuck rule game a short 7 years ago...

  1. At least we won't have the Collinsworth/Papa combination any more.

  1. Gosh, I didn't know the Pats were so bad that they got the loser announcers too. We lost a prime time game for that Ravens-'Skins snoozer and now we get the worst announcing crew in the business.

  1. i hope Gannon won't spend ten minutes talking about slippery footballs this time around....yeeesh. Yep...Our beloved Pats are no longer the gem of the NFL. Oh well...c'est la vie.

  1. Mike,

    Who are the left overs from both teams that actually played in the "tuck rule" game?
