The goal is to win the whole thing for every team. Why would the Chiefs be that eager to smit the Broncos with a rookie QB to let Joe Burrow and his MVP season and dynamic offense into the playoffs. Burrow has proven Arrowhead isn’t that big of a deal. If the Bills do get upset, the Chiefs clearly would rather face the Broncos/Dolphins in the Divisional instead of the Bengals

Ah I see, point still stands on the pro bowl remarks tho

Yea I don’t understand why organizations still include pro bowls as escalators in contracts. All pros and statistics based escalators should be the norm not the joke of a pro bowl

He’s going to be opposite of Rapp next year at Safety and has been playing there now in replacement of Hamlin. Not directed at you, but I’m sick of the he’s Rapps backup and the same player. He’s clearly going to be the starter next year and possibly in these playoffs and Rapp isn’t going anywhere so there is a plan to make Rapp and Bishop work as the pairing moving forward

Bishop is improving for sure much in the same way that Dorian Williams has. He is still making mistakes but you can see the small improvements week to week. He still has a way to go to be a really good player but he's coming around for sure. It helps that McDermott and Babich are playing more to his strengths these past couple of games with him.

The best one was telling McDonald his nose ring was cute

Yea a lot of incorrect info early on in this thread. Guys can be called up 3 times and sent back, its the 4th time that they have to be added. Jalen Virgil being our example this year of that happening. Plus its the last week and it resets for the playoffs to unlimited so basically anyone who hasn't been called up 3 times already is eligible for this weeks game.

Yea my bad I looked at a bad schedule on the website I looked at. Since thats the case the Baltimore game would be at 1 or the Bills at 1 and the other at 4:30

There is no early Sunday Timeslot only an early Saturday Timeslot Let me put on my most uneducated educated guess possible. Saturday 1PM: Pittsburgh/LAC @ Houston Saturday 4:30PM: Washington/GB @ LAR/Tampa Saturday 8PM : Washington/GB @ Philadelphia Sunday 4:30PM Denver/Miami @ Buffalo Sunday 8:00 PM Pittsburgh/LAC @ Baltimore Monday 8:15- Lions/Vikings @ LAR/TB

Yup meaningless for them

I picked 11 but posted numerous times that I thought the Bills were Super Bowl contenders

I’d rather see our young developmental guys get PT and show out and win than worry about making sure the Pats don’t get the first pick

He still looked like he was lumbering out there despite the play he made yesterday. Williams should be playing but McDermott has a loyalty to Milano first Let’s be frank, if Rodgers put in literally any effort on that play he would have recovered it

What does that have to do with what I said? The Browns are starting DTR against the Ravens. The Ravens are going to be the 3 seed. We are going to face them in the divisional unless they get upset in the first round.

They don't even have to play at the same time just switch the teams. Have the Steelers play first because they are chasing the Ravens. By having the Ravens play first, it no longer gives the Steelers any incentive outside of seeding to play their starters.

This is a big nothing burger

Thats a gauntlet of a home schedule as it sits now but the away schedule is pretty easy all things considered.

Yes, The Broncos win and their in. The only way the Bengals can get in is if the Broncos lose, the Dolphins lose, and they beat the Steelers next week.

No whoever wins the week 18 matchup is the 1 seed.

The Bills flat out ruined getting a franchise QB multiple times because they decided to win a late meaningless game. Or they would win a game to make themselves 5-11 to drop them to like 9th instead of having a top 6 pick. Antonio Pierce has cost himself his job in the future with these two wins in back to back weeks to drop them from 2 to 8.

I know this is weird, but if your the Lions, do you sit your starters tomorrow night against the 49ers. The game is absolutely meaningless to them. They need to beat Minnesota either way and Philadelphia can't be higher than the 2.

I would be very very surprised if anyone gave up a huge load of picks for either Sanders or Ward this year. I know desperation is a stinky cologne. Would someone be willing to trade up and move some picks sure but I can't see a 3 1st rounders type thing. I think the franchise that does that sets themselves up for a world of agony. Neither of these guys look like game changers to me.

The thing people are forgetting is that if they let the Bengals slip in by beating Denver and the Bengals upset the Bills, the Bengals then go to Arrowhead the next week. I'm sure the Chiefs don't want Burrow in Arrowhead either when they can get Pittsburgh or Houston etc.

I expect Tua and Company back next week against the Jets, can't see them losing that game but would be surprised. Still think its Denver but its nice to have the Dolphin buffer between the Bengals.

Wonder if Flores gets another look at a HC job. Van Ginkel is so underrated as well loved him on the Dolphins and is excelling in Minnesota
