The Ravens had a better record in common games. Buffalo: 2-3, Baltimore: 3-2I was pretty sure that at 10-6 each, both teams would have ended up with same conference records and Buffalo's SOV would have been better pushing them into the 6th seed.
Going into Week 17, Buffalo needed the KC and SD to both lose at least one game, the Steelers to win, and Buffalo to win both week 16 and 17 to get in, along with the rest of the AFC pack to end up 10-6. The only thing that didn't happen was Buffalo winning in Week 16.
Come on, Atlanta. At least keep the Panthers out. Do something positive for God's sake.
same place with the bears but i have a sinking feeling they are gonna win today and let the Saints get in front of them.
Team should have played Fales at QB and let his name do the work.
I'm a Falcons fan and I was hoping they would lose. If they won they might have kept some of the coaches, not had a hard change at O line, or the defense as well.
Also helps their draft pick greatly as well. Hope they can get a good pass rusher or O-Line man in the first round. Running back will also need work as Jackson will be gone and no one else has really stepped up.
Suh is such a piece of shit. His still being allowed on the field just shows the NFL doesn't give a shit about safety or values. He should be picking up trash somewhere.
Are they cutting Jackson or does he want to move somewhere else?
I sure hope Suh gets suspended for the cheap shot against Rodgers, just like Raiola was suspended this week for the exact same cheap shot against the Bears. The NFL is so hypocritical letting them continue breaking the rules in direct attempt to injure players of opposing teams.
I think everyone knows I'm a Lions fan, and when I saw that play live, I thought Rogers was being a bag, but after seeing the replay several times, I really can't say anything in Suh's defense.
He knew he was pushed into Rogers, and it was clear that he knew that he stepped on someone as indicated by his partial trip and attempt to regain his balance (which was incidental), but the second step coupled with him not willing to even look down made it clear that he was doing it on purpose.
Heck, he even ignored Rogers' retaliation, which he also was aware of.
If the Lions wonder why they're losers, can't win big games, and will never get the benefit of the doubt from the refs, look no further than your star players like Suh and Raiola.
If Suh isn't suspended, he'll have a target on his back and will be watched like a hawk in Dallas next week. Even a border-line clean hit on Romo will be flagged as a personal foul.
He's done it to himself.
what a f'ing human sh!t head. The second step is obviously intentional after he felt something on the first step. I don't think the NFL should suspend him, he needs to be thrown out of the league. That was total BS. There is absolutely no place in the NFL for somebody who is trying to intentionally injure a player.
given how slow they had to make the video for it to look deliberate, I'll gladly go with they are trying to pin something on him from past occurrences.
As far as harbaugh being the first fired coach, was there some type of buyout agreement or is he getting the full amount left on his contract?
Ill be the first to admit I know very little about football, but in looking at the video, Suh seems to be pulling away from Packers number 70, resulting in the second step on rogers. Got to look at the overhead view, not from below.
I've looked at it over and over and over again. Prior to the second step, he was well balanced, was not falling back so it was a conscious decision to take another full step back and plant his full weight on that leg.
There's only a couple of items that can exist on a football field that your foot will notice if it steps on it. 1 is the football, 2 is another human been. After the first step which was probably accidental, Suh knew there was a person on the ground behind him. If his body was kind of wobbly or off balance, the second step might have been excused. But time and time again after I looked at the replay Suh was in full control of his body prior to dedicating himself to taking that second step back.
The "great" Mike Pereira disagrees with you, it looks horrible in slow motion, in regular time not so much, he definitely steps on him but it's not a stomp like Raiola the idiot

I argued this with Rob awhile back, even if this was completely accidental and unintentional, Suh has enough of a reputation doing crap like this, he will be punished. Suspending him a week isn't going to send the message, IMO. Once you have a reputation for being a dirty player, you had better do everything in your power to not play dirty.
According to sources, they seem to say he is walking away from the team each owing the other nothing. I have a feeling SF misses the playoffs next season. Harbaugh turned that team around. Without him, unless they get someone great, it isn't happening.
So you dont see him pulling away from the guy who had his hand on his uniform neck? Look at the 70 players hand on his uniform, and how Suh's body leans back as the hand is released from his uniform.
The video I'm looking at is here. Around the 40 second mark.

The first step was completely unintentional. The second step, and putting the full weight down upon the QB is intentional. He knew damn well someone was under his feet and continued to put his weight down on it. That is not only unsafe, but dirty.
I hope he gets suspended for more than a game, not that the Lions will get past the Cowboys anyway. >_>
I dont know about you, but if I'm pulling away from someone who has his hand on my collar, I'm focusing on the hand on my neck not where my feet are landing.
One, his hands weren't on his neck. He had a hold of his jersey. Two, in the event someone hostile IS grabbing my neck, my footing is a lot more important. If you fall over backwards with someone on your neck, you're in a much worse position than if you were standing.
