Week 17 Gameday Thread - Around the NFL

[NyQuil]

Expect Lions at GB and Rams at Seattle to be 4pm times next week. I'd also expect Giants at Eagles, Cowboys at Commanders and Vikings at Bears to all be 1pm games.

Pats need no help.  Win and in.

wait so if the Bills can win tomorrow they can secure 1 seed and eliminate the pats in front of home crowd? that would be sweet

[Steptide]

Any importance to tonight's game for the bills?

That’s me, with Cousins.  With Brady on my bench. 
 

I don’t know how people do it with players we’re going up against.  I always bench a player we play.  

 

I can't...my backup option was Mac Jones.

I think we would want the Ravens to win to keep them in the division race.  That way next week's Cincy/Ravens game matters to both.

Wouldn't be surprised to see the GB / Detroit game moved to 8pm

I THINK if the Pats lose they can still get in if both the Steelers and Dolphins lose next week.  But eliminating them would be cool.

This is not unrealistic at all. Good move by the jags not resting starters. Though they should blow the titans out next week.

CMC was worth every asset the 49ers traded

He’s why they’re winning the SB. And can we clear up all the discussion about it being a lot of assets? He’s the best RB in the league and it’s not even close when you consider the system he’s in now. They gave up a 2, 3, and 4 this year, and a 5 next year. Sounds like a lot until you realize they had assets to play with considering they got comp picks for losing minority coaches. That’s free assets. Considering Carolina wanted multiple 1sts at the start of the trade deadline, I’d say SF fleeced them. And the injury concerns weren’t a real thing. He wanted out of Carolina. His family has deep ties to the Shanahans. He’s obviously all in. Only the bills and chiefs have better odds to win the SB and it’s a slight advantage. Just gotta pray eagles get healthy so we don’t have to play SF in the Super Bowl.

The amount of teams that can still realistically make the playoffs in each conference is nuts. Plus multiple divisions up for grabs. Plus both 1 seeds. Next week going to be very interesting.

I was playing around with the NYT simulator and couldn't understand why the Titans/Jags game had relevance over other AFC teams for playoffs (thought maybe it was some deep tie-breaker like common opponent, or SOV/SOS).

Damn, frankly I would have given up a 1st and 2nd. Holy cow we would be unstoppable with him. Just imagine.

Seattle has to be a 4 PM game, as they are on the west coast.

SF is playing very well, but they only have 2 wins this year against playoff teams (TB and LAC), so I'm not sure they're as good as everyone seems to think, more like they've had an easy schedule.

I’d prefer a Bills / 49ers Super Bowl actually . Berman can finally take that jacket he had made up in the 90’s out of storage . Amazing that matchup never happened then as both teams were excellent.

I hope the Lions get a magical entrance to the playoffs similar to the New Years Eve 5 years ago for the Bills.  If any franchise deserves it, they certainly do.

[Beast]

I want to win tomorrow and next week for one reason only….one less game to get to our goal.

 

I really believe we can win in KC, Cincinnati, Mars or Venus if we have to in the playoffs.

Chris Collinsworthless needs to retire.

Over/under on Collinsworth "Mahomes" references on SNF tonight?  "That guy just blinked...Mahomes blinks!"
