NFL GAME DAY DISCUSSION Saturday Games Thread Panthers @ Bucs, Seahawks @ 49ers

[Gumby]

If Atlanta Does win:
1st tie break is won loss in head to head games amongst the clubs:
Tampa is 2-2
Atlanta 1-3
Carolina 3-1

Atlanta would be eliminated and it would revert back to the two..

Wrong: Atlanta & Tampa would be eliminated

Am I missing something?

Yes, see above & the FIRST rule in 3 or more….best % AMONG THE CLUBS…..75% > 50% > 25%
So it never goes to a 2-way tiebreaker.

We saw what a good o-line can do for a decent QB and running backs. The hawks o-line man handled 49ers all game long. Also their tight end blocked really well on those run plays.

Darnold has been turning the ball over a lot.
Can't do that in the playoffs.

True but this Seahawks team can make it. These playoffs will determine Darnold’s narrative. Will he go one and done and become a playoff choker? Or will he get to the Super Bowl and get the Minnesota playoff monkey off his back?

Zabel is a rookie from N Dakota St.

Seattle took him in the 1st round and never looked back. Their Center is also from NDST undrafted.

I like the Buffalo whiteouts.

I like the Pats stark whites and Im not a big fan of white uniforms.

I've never understood the Purdy hype.

Did SF believe they had another Brady? Over Purdy's tenure he has had everything to work with - OL, TE, WRs ,RB, Defense ,OC. Alright, Purd made to to a SB, but so did Jimmy Baby. At some point you have to look at it and determine that the team got you there and that Purd and Jimmy were along for the ride.

Brady won with almost nothing. He made ordinary players into Super Bowl Champs.

The Seattle defense was nasty. I want that.

I was hoping the 9ers would win. If we can't win it this year I'd love to see Mac get a ring.

Of course we're going to win it this year, but still.

The ole hand you the ball and run your ass over

Some takes from yesterday's games..glad we didn't sign Godwin.. did he have a catch yesterday?? Also SF scored 3 points.. that's odd.. at what point is Shanny going to be called out? He's had super talented teams last few seasons.

Hawks are for real and are a serious threat in the NFCW..

 

[Real fan 02]

I’d want Tet in NE.

We don't need any WRs...

Shanny's 2025 performance is more worthy of coach of the year than being called out. The injuries this year have been crippling. On the last weekend of the season, his very, very injured team was playing for the division championship and the bye. This result is impressive for any team. SF lost to the best team in the NFL. Shame on them!

Yes, SEA is for real. I see the top 3 NFCW teams to be the best in the NFC for the foreseeable future. Of course, that doesn't mean that another team can't win the conference. IMO, tis also shows the need for the 3rd wild card team. The additional wild card makes lots of game more important late in the year.

To be clear, other than the two horrible divisions, there are 12 very worthy playoff teams, with any of them having a solid chance if they get hot.

CMC is always hurt, kittle is always hurt, bosa is injury prone, pearsall seems to be injury prone as well. They rode a streak with Mac while Purdy was out and gained some momentum.. I feel what Vrabel's done with a 4-13 team and a 2nd year QB is more worthy. I don't know the Hawks are the "best" team in the NFL..as I don't think there is clearly definite best team this season.. it's truly a season where anyone in the playoffs this season could end up in the superbowl.. IMO

 

[Gumby]

……….. it's truly a season where anyone in the playoffs this season could end up in the superbowl.. IMO

Agreed, this year is going to be all about who is HEALTHY and STREAKING at the RIGHT TIME.
I can see any of about 6 -7 teams (including Pats) as hitting that mark.

 

[Triumph]

Can you imagine a JSN with Maye?

There is always a best team. This year, the best team isn't that much better than other teams. Ask the bettors.

The best team this year will be whoever wins the superbowl.

Are u sure triumph surely he can't be better than Hollins... ?

 

[farn]

Going on a limb : won’t be the winner of AFC north, nor NFC south “winner”…

Agreed there.. NFC probably the worst division in football right now..
