Week 17 NFL Games

[Froob]

What's the deal with Ray Rice this year, is he declining already or is the ravens run blocking just horrifically bad?

 

[Foxypats]

two picks and Ravens get no TD's they settle for two FG's...this might come back to bite them!

Odd that not a single one of the last four teams in the AFC that are still in contention for a playoff spot (but have not yet clinched) controls their own destiny; every one of them needs help from other teams.

By comparison in the NFC six teams (New Orleans, San Fran, Green Bay, Chicago, Dallas and Philly) that have not yet clinched a playoff spot control their own destiny, and only one (Arizona) needs help.

Sixteen possible scenarios (excluding ties) between the four AFC teams going for the number six seed:

Miami Wins, Baltimore Wins, San Diego Wins, Pittsburgh Wins = Dolphins
Miami Wins, Baltimore Wins, San Diego Wins, Pittsburgh Loss = Dolphins
Miami Wins, Baltimore Wins, San Diego Loss, Pittsburgh Wins = Ravens
Miami Wins, Baltimore Wins, San Diego Loss, Pittsburgh Loss = Ravens
Miami Wins, Baltimore Loss, San Diego Wins, Pittsburgh Wins = Dolphins
Miami Wins, Baltimore Loss, San Diego Wins, Pittsburgh Loss = Dolphins
Miami Wins, Baltimore Loss, San Diego Loss, Pittsburgh Wins = Dolphins
Miami Wins, Baltimore Loss, San Diego Loss, Pittsburgh Loss = Dolphins
Miami Loss, Baltimore Wins, San Diego Wins, Pittsburgh Wins = Ravens
Miami Loss, Baltimore Wins, San Diego Wins, Pittsburgh Loss = Ravens
Miami Loss, Baltimore Wins, San Diego Loss, Pittsburgh Wins = Ravens
Miami Loss, Baltimore Wins, San Diego Loss, Pittsburgh Loss = Ravens
Miami Loss, Baltimore Loss, San Diego Wins, Pittsburgh Wins = Chargers
Miami Loss, Baltimore Loss, San Diego Wins, Pittsburgh Loss = Chargers
Miami Loss, Baltimore Loss, San Diego Loss, Pittsburgh Wins = Pittsburgh
Miami Loss, Baltimore Loss, San Diego Loss, Pittsburgh Loss = Ravens

did dalton just complete a pass?

 

[Foxypats]

Just like that Cincy is up 7-6....

 

[Patsfan_22]

Dalton throws a Flacco!

 

[WhoaDirty]

Dalton throws a Flacco!

It's not a Jump Ball Joe if the receiver is 10 yards behind coverage.

Re: Week 17 other games thread

Lol are you being serious?

The games on right now are terrible!

KC are resting most of their starters, Oakland is going to get crushed, if the Hawks have any sort of a large lead over the Rams, the 49ers have nothing worth risking

There are bad games on at both time slots. Maybe the Skins and Giants can be made more interesting with the Benny Hill theme being looped over and over again...

Both, really.

And with JAX down 17–0 already, it seems like the Pats will be playing for the bye this afternoon.

I wonder if he was used to much last year and never really recovered from the workload

 

[Pessimistic Pete]

Welp, since the Colts are going to blow out the Jaguars I'm just rooting for the Bengals over the Ravens now because I rather see the Chargers/Steelers make it.

If the Colts win, we have to win to get a bye week anyway, Bengals game would just be difference of 3 vs 4 seed.

Looks like the Pats game later this afternoon will mean a whole lot...

Could be a nail biter this afternoon.

 

[Foxypats]

Looks like both Indy and cincy will win...its early , but the Jags and Ravens are not doing much .

 

[sb1]

Could be a nail biter this afternoon.

Rain and two solid Buffalo RBs to control the clock. Defense better be ready today.

 

[Froob]

May as well root for the bengals to eliminate the ravens at this point. Jags are toast in indy.

 

[patsinthesnow]

Brees may get a bye and his magic dome for the playoffs.

 

[sb1]

I think it would be kinda funny if the preseason champion Lions don't even finish .500 this year.

I wonder if they ever had a parade in Detroit for their preseason champions...

 

[PatsSox363804]

Baltimore looks done. Cincinnati is killing Flacco.

Cam Newton throwing everything high, doing his best to hand the division and bye week to New Orleans.

 

[sb1]

Pitt really wants that 6 seed.

I don't think I can stomach a Pats elimination to Pitt, hopefully that scenario doesn't come to fruition.
