Around the NFL Week 16

Can't believe we only have 2 weeks of football (skins anyway) left, the NFL season always goes by too fast.

Here is the playoff picture in the NFC.

Who ya got?

AFC is still open too

Re: Around the NFL Week 16
 

I'm rooting for the Rams and Vikings. Both would be good stories. Seattle, Philly, and Dallas are all on the naughty list.

Re: Around the NFL Week 16
 

Definitely rooting for the Jags in the AFC to rock the boat. In the NFC anybody but the Eagles.

Re: Around the NFL Week 16
 

Philly isn't going even if they get the 1 seed, I don't trust Foles in a playoff game.

I think it'll be N.O or LAR.

AFC I agree I'd love to see JAX screw it all up but I'm sure it'll be NE again

Good article about the Pats getting a beneficial end of game replay ruling 3 times, JUST THIS SEASON!!! I guess that receptions "surviving the ground" only apply to the other 31 teams: [url=http://www.post-gazette.com/sports/steelers/2017/12/18/alberto-riveron-nfl-senior-vice-president-of-officiating-patriots-calls-jesse-james/stories/201712180138]NFL rulings on touchdowns aided three Patriots wins this season | Pittsburgh Post-Gazette[/url]

Re: Around the NFL Week 16
 

There is no doubt that NE and DAL get the majority of close calls, in fact David Carr said the same thing yesterday.. Even with the Ref smiling , he wanted Dallas to get the 1st down. He was short

Re: Around the NFL Week 16
 

If that was he skins we would have turned it over on downs.

Re: Around the NFL Week 16
 

Jesse James clearly pulled the ball in with both hands, turned upfield, and lunged for the end zone and extended the ball AS A BALL CARRIER! If that is not a football move AFTER the catch, then there is no such thing as a receiver ever making a football move.

I dont think he had established 2 feet down though. In that situation where a receiver catches the ball in the process of falling down, he must maintain control of ball throughout the process of hitting the ground.

Re: Around the NFL Week 16
 

This is the week the browns win, Bears have a top 5 pick waiting for them. No reason to win.

Re: Around the NFL Week 16
 

As far as the playoffs, my support turns to the Carolina Panthers. They're the home team down here. Having said that, either the Panthers, Saints, or Rams in the NFC, and Jags or Steelers in the AFC. I don't want to see another Super Bowl featuring the New England Patriots.

The NFC is so stacked this year....Im with Matty on the Jags to fuck somethings up in the AFC...but Tennessee, Bills, and even Baltimore aren't very good.

Id watch the Rams and the Vikings....those teams seem headed on a collision course. Oh and FUCK the Eagles.

Re: Around the NFL Week 16
 

I'd like to see the Bills end their 17 yr drought but it prob wont happen. Ravens will most likely get in

Re: Around the NFL Week 16
 

How bout a Vikings Bills SB. That would be all sorts of hype!

I agreed with the overturn. At first you were looking if he was touched, and he clearly wasn't. But the ball moved when it hit the ground. Seemed like a good reverse. Too many times this year I thought they erred on the side of a no call when the video was clear.

That said, It's just as hit or miss with the replay, so at this point if they were to do away with it entirely and say the call is the call, I'd be ok with that. Just train the refs better.

Re: Around the NFL Week 16
 

Now that AROD is out, I actually expect DET to win 10 games and possibly snag that last WC slot from Atlanta. Lions have Bengals and Packers left, 2 should be wins. Falcons will have to win out to get in IMO. Unless they hold tiebreaker over DET. Dallas is all but done now for sure, as is Seattle most likely

Good move

Re: Around the NFL Week 16
 

I'm pulling for a Chargers/Rams Super Bowl.

I dont care so long as its not Dallas

As average as the Ravens always look in the regular season and how crap their O always looks, I don't think anyone wants to see that defense in the playoffs

Re: Around the NFL Week 16
 

The hits and injuries have definitely added up. The offense has been neutered.

Yeah I thought Kirk was done after that late hit BTW that wasn't called...

Ravens have played/beaten no one.

1 win against the bengals (with the 4th worst offense in the NFL per yds)
2 wins against the Browns (worst offense in the NFL)
1 win against Raiders wout Derek Carr
1 win against Dolphins w Matt Moore
1 win against Packers w Brett Hundley
1 win against Texans w Tom Savage

1 win against Lions w Matt Stafford ... the Ravens only win against a winning team. Nice win, Lions are good.

They finish with the Colts and Bengals ...

To 105.7 the fan's credit, the know they have beat no one and will probably be bounced from playoffs unless they get a Bills type team.

Re: Around the NFL Week 16
 

Its a shame because the Chargers could really make a run but Rivers is such a douche and inconsistent, I bet his wrs hate playing w him... Anytime he makes a mistake he's yelling at his wr's for it

I'm so sick of the fucking Patriots. If they go to the SB one more time, I might quit watching football.

So agree. That has been the most steam-rolling bandwagon of all time. I had NEVER in my life met a Patriots fan prior to their first Super Bowl win (and this was the height of my Redskins obsession) and now EVVVVVVVVERY body is a super, duper fan!

I don't even care, as long as the Eagles don't win it, I'm good.

My adopted playoff team this year is the Vikings.

Re: Around the NFL Week 16
 

I love how everyone is all over Jimmy G now lol, dude has only played 5 games and yes I get that he has won those 5 but who has he played???

Re: Around the NFL Week 16
 

Garapollo looks impressive, with Shanahan as his coach he could be a big time QB next year

I'm rooting for the Vikings and Jags to make some noise myself. Always nice to see the underdogs win.

The 49ers fanbase and their team has been totally energized by JG. He has no one around him yet he's out there making plays. He looks like the real deal. They're on a little bit of a win streak and the fans are into it. That could turn out to be a great trade.

They have some talent in places were it counts... and give Kyle a good to decent qb with a good play fake and decent set of wheels? He'll win some games with him.

So is he going against the NBA, MLB or the NFL?

Re: Around the NFL Week 16
 

2 year rule with new quarterbacks and coaches. Once the league has tape and makes adjustments, I want to see if they can adjust to the adjustment. Chip Kelly, RG3, Kaep, Dak, Zorn, Aaron Judge etc
