** Around the NFL — Week 14 **

[RiotAct]

Discuss all other games besides Bills-Rams here.

 

Go Browns!

Go Jets!

And, of course, Go Chargers!  (although we all know that The Chosen Ones will find some new B.S. way to pull out the victory tonight).

 

 

 

Ravens, Texans, Broncos, Colts, Patriots, and Commanderskins all have the bye this week.

Turns out clinching your division on December 1 makes things pretty boring. Not much to root for today until SNF. 

 

Go Panthers and Steelers to help solidify Allen MVP.

You’d rather the Ravens win the division and have the higher playoff seed?

The higher the Ravens are, the less likely we are to draw them as the 1 seed, no?

Rooting for seeding is pointless right now. Bills chiefs are 50/50 for the 1 seed. If Bills are 1 than chiefs/Ravens at 2/3 is best case scenario. If Bills are 2 than Steelers at 3 and Ravens at 6 is best case scenario.

Ravens are 8-5 and will lose at least one more game.

 

I’d rather have the  breathing room against Pittsburgh to more or less guarantee us the 2 seed if we can’t catch KC.

Pickens OUT for Steelers vs. Browns per ESPN.

Don’t care where the Ravens are.   Won’t be the same outcome as week 4 if they play us in the playoffs.

Given the remaining schedules of each of the teams, I think the Bills will almost assuredly be slotted at 1 or 2 (most likely 2), so I’m not so worried about breathing room against PIT.

Yea and I’m operating under the assumption KC keeps finding ways to win games they should lose thereby putting us as the 2 seed. The more Baltimore can be buried, the better IMO.

Agreed, but they’ll certainly have a puncher’s chance to knock us out. What was most concerning about the team that day was the run defense and the Raven’s ability to confuse our OL. They didn’t physically whip our OL, which is good, but they greatly confused them. I’d like to avoid heavy rushing teams until we get to the SB where we’d play DET or PHI.

I'm looking forward to Random 49ers Running Back No. 3 to have a monster couple of weeks before being placed on IR.

I came here to post that need Saquon to have a couple bad weeks to stop the Saquon MVP nonsense.  Go Panthers D!

[Doc Brown]

Talk about terrible 1pm games.  Never understood why they just don't do four teams on byes each week from week 5 to week 13

[Steptide]

Go Browns 

[UKBillFan]

Falcons at Vikings the only early game with both teams in the play off places. Joy.

[Albany,n.y.]

I'm rooting for the Jets to kill off the Dolphins & ruin their draft choice, but the Jets are being the Jets, so it's futile.  

[BRH]

I am really not worried about Russ.

Jets in freefall already

The Dolphins generally run over bad teams. They struggle when facing decent ones.
