🏈 NFL - Game On

[InCali]

Derrick Henry is a freaking beast. His "down" year with the Titans is on their O-line. You gotta watch this....

Not gonna be surprised if the Browns upset the Steelers today. That will set up a Steelers/Ravens matchup next week and the winner takes the division and the loser goes home.

That would be somewhat of a surprise to me.....not out of the realm, but maybe akin to the Panthers taking out the Seahawks. IIRC, they could clinch with a Bucs loss. Both Carolina and Seattle both have something to play for, but the Panthers are fighting to get in and the Hawks have clinched. Sure, they want the #1 seed, but I don't think it's the same.

EDIT: I didn't realize Metcalf was out for the Steelers. That evens things up a bit......

Called the Browns upset. Steelers just aren't the same without Metcalf. That's your Sunday night game next week.

If the Falcons somehow beat the Rams tomorrow night, I think the Panthers/Bucs will be a 1:00 game. The Falcons winning their last 2 games gives the division to the Panthers no matter what happens.

Falcons/Saints would be a 4:25 matchup.

Panther held their own today against Seattle, but costly penalties and turnovers doomed them. Offense just couldn't get going.

of course we win that game I hate my team
Raiders understood the assignment

The good news is that you'll probably get the guy you want anyway. The Giants weren't going to go QB anyway and the Raiders certainly will. Picking 2nd for you guys is really the same as picking first.

The only real downside is that you could have traded down and gotten another pick, but if you trade down more than a 2 or 3 spots, you may miss the chance to grab a generational player.

Just don't beat the Cowboys LOL You could drop from 2 to 5.

As a Panthers fan, tonight's Falcons win is kinda bittersweet. I don't want these Panthers playing at half throttle knowing that if they don't win, they can win the division with a Falcons win against the Saints.

I'd rather they win on Saturday and go into the playoffs with some momentum. Despite us losing to Seattle yesterday, I'd still prefer to play them over the Rams/49ers.

Speaking of the Seahawks/49ers, I hope San Fran wins that game. I want to see the Rams travel to Philly.

A potential scenario where the Panthers, Buccaneers, and Falcons all tying at 8-9 is such an NFC South situation. To think the Saints are only 6-10. Only one game out from really being part of the drama.


Deeply unserious division.

Cowboys release two-time Pro Bowl CB Diggs

The Cowboys have released cornerback Trevon Diggs. He will become a free agent if he goes unclaimed on waivers.

Sounds like Lamar Jackson is playing Sunday night. I just think with Rodgers without Metcalf, the Ravens should win that easily.

We could also be witnessing Aaron Rodgers final game.

 

[NewYorkSpider]

Let me first say that our playcalling was atrocious today. A flea flicker in the rain on the opponents 30 yard line when you're offense finally got into a rhythm? Dave is just not a good playcaller and I hope he gives that away to Brad Idzik next year.

Secondly, I'm never one to blame officiating for a loss. There are missed calls every game and it just happens. But holy hell were there some egregious calls made in that game. Brad Allen should never be allowed to officiate again and if he's selected for the playoffs, it will be a travesty.

Go Falcons!

It's bittersweet. I want the Bucs to win but I want a new coach. Their weak division keeps saving Bowles' job. They'll never be anything more than a fringe playoff team with him.

 

[NewYorkSpider]

Just heard that Ron Torbert is officiating the Saints/Falcons game and he favors road divisional opponents when they play. The Saints don't have their best WR and RB. Looks like it's all the making for an upset. Congrats to Tampa on winning the division.

 

[Ninjablade]

I don't understand the Texans pulling starters. I get that you're not winning the division, but wouldn't you want to at least secure the 5 seed? We're talking about potentially playing the Steelers/Ravens or the Jaguars/Patriots. I would much rather play that AFC North winner.

Edit: Guess it didn't end up mattering since they won. Still weird to play it that close to the vest.

 

[Ninjablade]

Congrats to the Panthers. I'm assuming that they'll pull the Rams as their matchup which means they'll probably get that MNF game. Good rematch game.
