NFL GAME DAY DISCUSSION Week 15 Other NFL Games Thread

[Ice_Ice_Brady]

I’m still salty Kyler Murray made the Pro Bowl over TB12 last year. What a joke.

I refuse to root for the jets. I hope this becomes the first game in NFL history where both teams lose. I wouldn't put it past these franchises to make it happen.

Packers @ Ravens and Saints @ Bucs after this. The NFC may go from a 3 way tie to 1 team being in sole possession by the end of the day.

If we lose two of our next three games, we don't deserve to be in the playoffs.

Packers and Bucs are both heavily favored though. Jackson appears to be out. Considering the tiebreakers, an Arizona loss today essentially eliminated them from the #1 seed. There’s no way both the Packers and Bucs lose two games, which the Cardinals would need in addition to winning out.

It’s likely the Packers are finishing #1 and Bucs #2. If not, Bucs #1, Packers #2. After that, the divisional stuff and seeding between the Cowboys, Cardinals, and Rams is up in the air. And so are the 6th and 7th seeds.

I might be the only guy to have picked the lions to win this week

I think that's safe to say. Imagine picking the lions to win a game.

Playing around on NFL playoff machine. 1 seed scenario is pretty obvious, win out and hope TEN and KC each lose 1. That's what we are looking at if we beat Buffalo next week. Losing to Buffalo but beating Jax/MIA gets us at least a wild card spot pretty easily.

Now looking at the doomsday scenario of us losing to Buffalo and Miami, but beating Jax, It is very tricky if Miami beats TEN. Without MIA losing to TEN, it looks like we are pretty safe at 10-7 getting one of the wild cards. But when I put MIA beating TEN there are some wierd scenarios where Baltimore and Cincinatti would get in over us at 10-7 which is strange to me because we have so many NFC losses, maybe its common opponents taking precedent to conference record there.

Lions…

Murray throws the INT and is crying at his WR like a baby

Everyone always talks about those special tie breakers year after year. Usually they don't matter and these things work themselves out by teams either winning to secure their fate or blundering in the home stretch to self eliminate. I wonder how many times in history either conference needed a complicated 3 or 4 way tie breaker. I can't recall many in my life time.

Another coronation that happened before even making the playoffs. He may indeed to of value. Like that « look what I got » ‘pass’. Against the lions.

 

[Ice_Ice_Brady]

Is Kyler Murray the best QB on his own team? Christ he looks horrible.

 

[Malua]

Freiermuth down, and looks like they will call H2H. Much less obvious hit then yesterday

would like to see Pitt punch it in here

Vrabel using a timeout in the 3rd quarter up 10 but the other team is 1st and goal from the 1 seems unwise.

 

[Delicate Genius]

Another phantom sideline penalty benefits the Bills.

I hope either the Bucs or Packers lose another game, but I think they’re both going to win out. And that would really highlight how stupid the new playoff format is, as both teams will be 14-3, didn’t play each other, and one team will get a bye plus HFA while the other team will get a set of steak knives. Specifically in the Bucs case, this highlights why the NFL is just making it harder to repeat or form a dynasty. It would have been the same situation if the Patriots and Chiefs were both 13-4 and didn’t play each other. There should either be two teams with a by, or point differential as the tiebreaker.

Sadly it had to be Ben. Should have been more specific Ashley! I expect better from you!!
