I did figure out the current draft order based on the current playoff picture: 1) Carolina 2) Denver 3) Cincinnati 4) Buffalo 5) Arizona 6) San Francisco 7) Dallas 8) Houston t9) Detroit t9) Cleveland 11) Seattle 12) Tennessee 13) Washington 14) Minnesota 15) New England(from Oakland, Richard Seymour trade) 16) Miami 17) Jacksonville 18) San Diego 19) NY Giants 20) Tampa Bay I remember the year the Patriots almost went undefeated. The Niners were close to getting the number one pick....which would have gone to the Patriots. So New England could have won the Super Bowl, gone undefeated...AND had the number one draft pick the following year.

Saints placed WR/KR Courtney Roby on IR, promoted Adrian Arrington from the practice squad to the roster.
Edit: Some interesting historical notes:
Tampa Bay is the first team since the merger to start 10 or more rookies and have a winning season.
Drew Brees is the 1st player in NFL history to have completed 400+ passes in 3 different seasons.

According to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, Roy Williams is the likeliest of Cowboys veterans to be cut this offseason.
Owner Jerry Jones has vowed "more turnover this year than we had last year." Beat writer Clarence E. Hill lists RB Marion Barber, Gs Kyle Kosier and Leonard Davis, RT Marc Colombo, DE Marcus Spears, S Gerald Sensabaugh, LB Keith Brooking, S Alan Ball, and CB Terence Newman as players who may not return in 2011

Most likely I'll be getting Steelers & Browns in my area. Normally I'd just switch to the Fox game but a Browns win would help towards getting the Ravens the North title & a bye so I'll be paying attention to that game.

I'm still ecstatic about the concept of a Rams playoff berth. I can understand why fans of every other may turn their nose up at the idea at this point. But when you win 6 games in 3 years, and have nothing to look forward to after Week 3, you take whatever comes your way, as long as it's better than what was previously there.

I agree that division winners should be in the playoffs, (otherwise what is the point of divisions) but they should be the number 6 seed if they have a non winning record. It's just not fair to other teams that they get to 'host' a playoff game yet they have an even or losing record. It doesn't make sense.

Might as well as he hasn't really panned out like they hoped he would. Just sucks they gave up a number of picks to get him.

It is reported today that they are going to test Favre on Friday to see if he can pass the concussion test. Now people know how I think he's a self centered douchebag, but someone should sit him down and say,
"Hey Brett. This game means nothing, we're out of the playoffs. Detroit has an defense that is knocking the shit out of quarterbacks and our offensive line sucks. You've been taking a terrible beating this season and they really don't know all the ill effects of concussions. You're retiring at the end of the season, so you really should look at the possibility that you will get another one getting slammed to the turf on Sunday. It will effect the quality of your life after football, so you really should sit out this week for your health and well being.
So even though I don't care much for the man, he should take his future health into consideration over the drive to play on Sunday.
