Watching the Bills play, I have to say that 2007 MNF comeback win is a Top 3 all-time Romo moment. Not Top 5 game with all those Romo INTs, but the last 5 min of the game.

Anyone with an 11" laptops, what are your thoughts?

I want to go as small as possible with my next laptop purchase, but worried that it'll be uncomfortable for long-term typing.

I don't do any essay-like typing, just emails, but I tend not to type at a desk, so portability and lightweight is key.
I had a 13" laptop around 11, 12 years ago that worked fine for me at the time. I used it to follow Cowboys games online before I started ordering Sunday Ticket. I currently use a 7" Kindle Fire tablet to post here during games when I'm away from the computer and it works well enough. I'm not very adept at using the onscreen keyboards so anything larger with a physical keyboard would be an improvement. I've pondered picking up something like a netbook for that reason.

Yeah, not a fan of on-screen keyboards. I'm thinking one of three options - an expensive 11" or 13" for my everyday laptop or a cheap 11" chromebook just for online surfing and keeping my existing, shotty laptop with full PC capabilities.

Yeah, I am going to have to get a new laptop with my Xmas bonus.

You might be able to find something in between. Check out newegg.com, they're usually priced fairly and most of their reviews are by geek types that know their stuff. If nothing else, I will buy something if I can find it cheaper elsewhere based on the reviews there.

I don't do anything high-demanding - just basic Microsoft office, youtube and web surfing - but I'm still wanting to drop a G for an 11" or 13" ultrabook. Feeling guilty, but the heart wants what it wants.

Safety by The Bills. Wow, Green Bay has been a hot mess in this game.

So with the Packers losing, if we win out, we could get the #1 seed, huh?
No. If Packers and Cowboys, regardless of 2 or more teams tied with 12-4, the Packers would beat the Cowboys in division/conference record winning percentage.

That Redskins loss puts us in a serious disadvantage in so many tiebreakers.

Don't see how the Niners have a prayer.

Will be rooting hard for the Vikings.

Despite being one of the smallest words you can use, the word "if" is mighty powerful, especially when it comes to The Cowboys. I will be happy enough to get past The Eagles at this point.
