If we're digging a well for a QB I imagine it would be for Jeff George.

I've only seen it called in these cases, but my understanding is that it could be called on any block that is completely away from the play. I don't think that is the case here, Matthews is running toward the play, even if he is fairly far away. http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/columns/story?columnist=clayton_john&id=2020191

I'm just hoping for a crazy run of ties in the next 2 weeks.

I went and rewatched it today and I disagree. FJ was running (not jogging) with the intent of making a tackle.

It was after the whistle, but FJ was at least partially to blame for trying to make a tackle 5 seconds after the whistle.

Got it. I guess the only way that's happening anyway is if Cinci wins the division (since they have a tie) which seems unlikely.

Apply division tie breaker to eliminate all but the highest ranked club in each division prior to proceeding to step 2. The original seeding within a division upon application of the division tie breaker remains the same for all subsequent applications of the procedure that are necessary to identify the two Wild-Card participants. Does this mean if 3 teams wind up tied for the wild card at 10-6 and 2 are from NFC North that one of them is eliminated?

How many threads are you going to start without getting dude's name right?

It's be better if he had thrown more of those pick sixes against non-division opponents

If we get moved to Sunday night there's a decent chance we're eliminated before playing the game. That would suck. Also, as several have said, there is no SNF game that week. http://espn.go.com/nfl/schedule/_/week/17

I went back to see the Barrington hit on FJ. FJ kept chasing to make the tackle after the whistle, maybe neither player heard the whistle? In any case, I have a hard time faulting the GB player for that hit since FJ is actively chasing down the returner.

I understand there are some times when a player is not expecting a block (e.g. when a defensive player is returning an INT and another offensive player is blocked away from the play. This is an offensive lineman blocking a linebacker. I don't understand in what universe that would be considered dirty.

This gives us only a 27% chance if we win out. It's not BS. There are several teams with similar records who have the tiebreaker over us.

A tie between KC and Pitt would be huge.

Yeah, any pick would be in 2016, and will depend on what we do in FA.

Do any of the people who were complaining about the sale taking too long and the trust trying to squeeze every penny out of the sale wish to reconsider their stance?

Thanks Stink, now if we only lose by 35 I won't feel so bad.

Not even close dude, my guess would be one of the Waltons.

Piss in everyone's Cheerios?

The trade deadline is over and he's not signed for next year, so pretty sure his trade value is nothing. I heard he broke his shoulder shoveling.

Tom Cable made a million dollars.

As of right now I can't find any info on how to get tickets (not that I'm going to be flying to Detroit) but I would guess under, unless they give them away. Even then, I would put 30k as the over under #. My brother makes this killer egg nog with lighter fluid.
