OFFICIAL NFL week 17 thread

[spidey07]

Yep, Colts are the worst team in the NFL. WAHOO! Go COLTS!

If they don't take Luck, they're have lost all sanity.

I guess since Rams and Colts have even records something was being said about strength of schedule to decide the #1 pick? Is that the records of your opponents?

going to be interesting to see how well romo can throw with that hand

You try to get into a shoot out with GB or NO, and you're going to be in trouble. And with the Pats terrible defense, there's no way they can win the SB.

Maybe....but I would give the nod to GB or NO. All three defenses are bad...however, GB and NO have more weapons for their QBs, namely ones that can go deep. NE's best deep threat is a tight end. Pretty scary on paper for the Pats. Welker can go deep, but he it too short, so he is only a threat if he can find a way to get the coverage to ignore him so he can get open. Not gonna happen a lot, so he needs to really on yards after catch. Ocho is a non factor, but i wonder if they are purposely ignoring him so he can be unleashed in the playoffs as a surprise. That said, Ocho is not really a deep guy in the first place.

No matter who is unhappy about what teams got in and others that did not this playoff system is a zillion times better than the bogus scam that the BCS is.

Last year Green Bay backed in and went to the cream of the crop.

You can't say that about the BCS.

The commentators are going on about Romo under center versus shotgun, taking left handed snaps (as opposed to two handed?), and precious little about actually throwing the ball. I know his hand is hurt, but why is the snap, especially under center, so much more of an issue?

Because the ball is slammed into your hand.

Because the ball is slammed into your hand.

If his hand is that sensitive, won't it mess up his throw?

Steeler get Denver I love it Tebow will get destroyed.

Kinda wondered this myself. Even if it's not on purpose, I would like to see him step up in the playoffs.

It's being reported now that the Jets will retool their entire offensive coaching staff during the off season...

Ryan should be the first to go then - he's definitely their most offensive coach.

 

[MotF Bane]

Oh ffs, what a comedy of a fumble.

 

[Chaotic42]

Looks like the filthy chickens will play New Jersey.

 

[MotF Bane]

This illegal touch rule sucks. He was clearly pushed out by the Giants player.

 

[dougp]

Good thing I don't have to worry about the Cowboys fielding another high school team next week.

 

[vi edit]

Another week, another prominent RB blows out an ACL. Mendenhall is out for the rest of the season.

 

[Chaotic42]

WTF were the Cowboys doing on that punt? If they had touched the ball, it would have been live.

 

[MotF Bane]

Not good news for the Steelers.

Still, Steelers @ Broncos, I'm bet on the Steelers.

Wow. Steelers are going to be hurting going in to the playoffs.

 

[thraashman]

Not good news for the Steelers.

Still, Steelers @ Broncos, I'm bet on the Steelers.

Um, I think ANY other playoff team vs the Broncos, I wouldn't be betting money on the Broncos.

Is it possible for a team to score negative points? The Tebow's put up 3 against the vaunted KC defense

 

[crownjules]

Not good news for the Steelers.

Still, Steelers @ Broncos, I'm bet on the Steelers.

Only if Roethlisberger's ankle is healed. A game like today will be hard pressed to beat even the Broncos.

 

[Arkaign]

Cowboys making the Giants look solid, but the truth is the Cowboys just were completely terrible this season, if anything they were considerably worse than the 8-8 final record here. Giants are gonna get creamed by any of the big 3 in the playoffs (SF, GB, NO).

Broncos will be lucky to even get 3 points against the Steelers.

Shh, don't tell them now. I called it at the beginning of the season that the Cowboys wouldn't make it to the playoffs - but I figured the Eagles would be playing better, especially with the Giants preseason injuries.

 

[Gibson486]

If the pats get one and one in this years playoffs, I will lose hope. Things could not be easier in the divisional round.....
