NFL Week 17

Recommended Posts

Guest "Go, Mordecai!"
Sooooo.

9-7 Dallas @ 9-7 Seattle

8-8 New York @ 9/10-win Philadelphia

High seed plays 10-6 New Orleans, low seed 13/14-win Chicago.

 

If the Bears fuck this up, I don't know what I'm gonna do.

 

In the third quarter of the NFC Championship game at Chicago, a fan will intercept Rex Grossman's pass which will lead to Joe Buck replaying you know what, but for a good reason this time.

Oh, man. I feel better about betting on Joe Buck calling for the Bartman clip than picking a winner.

For all the hype about all these teams being alive for playoffs, this weekend sure has been anti-climatic.

Vikings lose and the Packers are out.

That's a pyrrhic victory if ever I've seen one

 

And I can't believe KC has a shot at the ultimate back-in to the playoffs

I am really, really proud of the Jets' performance today and just their season in general. My expectations for this season have already been completely exceeded, so any wins from here on out are gravy.

 

I don't know what would need to happen for the the Jets to get the Patriots in the first round, but that's exactly what I'm pulling for.

 

Pretty sure you just need the Colts and Broncos to lose. That would make the Pats the three and the Colts the four, with the Jets already locking up that five slot I believe. I'm not positive you even need the Broncos to lose, it might just take a Colts loss.

 

No wait..dammit, you need the Colts to win and the Broncos to lose cause you said you want the Jets to get the Patriots. I hate playoffs math.

You mentioned the 4/5 possibility, but I think you'd get the same outcome (albeit as a 3/6 game) if Indy loses and the Broncos win.

So, do the Patriots have the 3rd or 4th seed? I haven't been following at all.

 

I definitely do not want NE @ SD in the Quarterfinal round. SD is the only team I give a damn about.

If Indy wins they're the 3 and NE is the 4.

 

If Indy loses, flip them.

 

EDIT: I just checked the NFL site and if Baltimore, Indy & NE all end up 12-4, the seeding would be: SD, IND, BAL, NE

 

Indy can be the 2 seed with a win and a Ravens loss. The Pats are definitely locked in to either the 3 or 4.

The Patriots are behind the Colts and the Ravens no matter what. I don't know who would get the bye between the Colts and the Ravens but I'm pretty sure it would go to the Colts.

 

Which would make it

 

1. San Diego

2. Colts

3. Ravens

4. Patriots

 

Best the Patriots can do is move up into the 3 spot...I think.

Ravens are up a whopping 6-0, but its a shutout so I wont complain.

 

I really want the Chargers to lose but that wont likely happen.

 

Did the Lions winning screw them out out of the first pick in the draft or did Oakland have that locked up?

Yep, they blew the #1 spot to Oakland by winning. Only the Lions.

Maybe they were hoping the Raiders would do something dumb like spend their #1 draft pick on a slightly above-average defensive end from a below-average college program

I think it was Phil Simms who jokingly said Detroit would be happy with the #2 because they could pay that player less money than if they'd had the # 1.
