NFL GAME DAY DISCUSSION Week 18: Other Games

Falcons looks like weak link.

Yeah, I dont feel good about them winning against NO

 

[venecol]

Whoa, LAC (.524) #6 and TEN (.529) #7 are now in play! If all 5 win teams lose, can we drop to #7 w/ a win?

 

[Ian]

Minshew is not accurate at all rolling to his right...kind of crazy how off target he's been there already.

It is possible I believe IIRC, but very unlikely.

It is possible I believe IIRC, but very unlikely.

I thought we could drop no lower than 5?

 

[PatsFan2]

Can the Patriots finish 4th with a win? Is that even possible?

EDIT: just read the previous post. I see it now, we need the Giants to win their game. But that's not happening. Looks like 5th is locked in with a win, and 3rd almost guaranteed with a loss.

Just as an aside, if Belichick is retained, my favorite scenario is that the Bears take Caleb Williams, the Patriots trade back 2 spots (pick up an extra second), then take Joe Alt or Fashanu.

They trade a 2nd rder to Chicago for Justin Fields.

They use the other 2nd rounder on Egbuka or Thomas from LSU.

I said it before and will say it again I would Trade for Justin Fields before taking any QB in this Draft.

 

[PatsFan2]

Tip of the cap to Mike Tomlin.

 

[venecol]

100%, they suck. But they need to win to get in, and the Saints are not that incredible either so it’s possible Atlanta can get it together this once.

They both need a win to get in but Saints can still get in w/ a Bucs win, whereas Falcons can't. I just can't see Bucs losing to Panthers.

Saints are 3-1 last four. Falcons are 1-3.

 

[Ross12]

I thought we could drop no lower than 5?

I’m not sure, I haven’t dug into LAC and TEN’s SOS situations much. NE is close to them currently but I don’t think it’s super likely that the gap would be able to be closed, if even possible.

Just considering the fact that they’re all playing divisional games tomorrow - if NE wins then that means NYJ loses, which adds two losses to their SOS since the Jets count twice since they played them twice. Whereas if the Chargers and Titans both win, then that gives the Chiefs and Jags respectively both two wins for the same reasons, so the gap in SOS would be widened significantly just from that.

 

[Pape]

Whoa, LAC (.524) #6 and TEN (.529) #7 are now in play! If all 5 win teams lose, can we drop to #7 w/ a win?

we lost to the chargers, so we have the edge there... and i believe Tennessee will edge us out in sos... so it would be 5 wcs if the strength of schedule holds out

 

[Pape]

Pape why?

Who can rate an opposing QB Better than a potential hall of fame defensive back?
I think it’s valid.

sure, if he had played against him.

 

[Pape]

tough conversion

 

[Pape]

Speed? that the ameer speed guy we had here?

 

[upstater1]

Those poor Colts fans.

Really they dont even deserve the 2006 Super Bowl. That was a referee special handed to them on a plate.

 

[venecol]

Stroud / Collins combo lethal. Imagine if Tank Dell were also playing.

 

[Ian]

Wide open. Crazy.

 

[Ross12]

Wide open. Crazy.

Colts have had a couple breakdowns

 

[Brick27]

Ex Pat Andrew Beck with the TD. How the F did this guy win the Salute To Service award just for being born in a military family, while Joe Cardona still hasn’t gotten it?

 

[Ian]

Minshew apparently unaware that it's the last play of the half ... that whole sequence was a mess. Wasted the entire seven seconds instead of getting rid of it quicker and giving them another shot.

 

[PatsFan2]

What Great pick Stroud was sure wish we can get a QB like that.
