One and Only NFL Week 16 Thread

Recommended Posts

If the Ravens win the division, they'll play one of the two wild cards. They've beaten all 3 teams in contention in the playoffs before.

Those years were different from this year

 

As for this year, they did beat the Broncos, didn't play the Titans (though I don't think the Ravens could beat them), and lost to Miami

So Jamal needs 153 against the Steelers next week?

 

That should be one interesting game. I can't imagine the Steelers would be too happy to have someone break the single-season rushing record on their watch, especially with their defensive tradition.

I honestly dont think he'll get 153 yards. He only needs 48 yards for 2000 and he'll get that. If the Ravens are ahead late by more than 2 scores, Billick will probably sit him like he did today to keep him from getting hurt so they'll have him for the playoffs.

Should Seattle win today, but Green Bay finish the year with the second wildcard spot, would that make Seattle the first team to be undefeated at home yet still miss the playoffs?

Who would get the last wildcard spot it Seattle and GB win out?

 

Although I'm guessing given Seattle's road record that it'd be obvious, but I want to be sure

EDIT: Missed that. Yeah, Green Bay gets in on head to head.

 

Thing is, if they both win out and get to 10-6, you could have other tiebreakers (against Dallas and Minnesota), which would mean the GB/Sea head to head game wouldn't come into consideration.

 

EDIT AGAIN: Minnesota would win a tie-breaker with Green Bay for the division if both finish at 10-6. If Dallas, Green Bay and Seattle are all tied at 10-6, Green Bay would be eliminated, having the worst conference record of the three teams. So, Seattle cannot win a tiebreaker with Green Bay, but they would advance in a three-way tie with Green Bay and Dallas.

Odds on St. Louis making the SB just went up bigtime

The Patriots are now officially the number 1 team in the league...followed closely by the Colts and Rams.

I just have to say that losing Carlos Emmons was the absolute worst thing that could happen to the Eagles defense. He had become their leader, besides being an excellent player, while Dawkins was out. I am now officially worried.

 

They still need to work on getting Westbrook at least 20-25 touches a game.

The Eagles are in trouble. We all know how Donovan F. McNabb goes in surges and has trouble readjusting his game after a tough loss. Next week is the BIG test. But Emmons hurts them badly.

This is why I wouldn't have been sad about them losing a few weeks ago, like the Saints game or another unimportant one. They were going to have a bad week at some point. But now you have it this close to the playoffs, you can go in with the bad momentum.

 

And that final throw he made shows why I didn't mind the fact that people thought he was overrated (I only had a problem with the peripheral stuff). Forcing a throw, in overtime, deep in your own end is bad. Granted Mitchell was an ass for not coming back to it, but you still can't force that.
