Around the NFL Week 17

[Process]

Colts getting smoked by the Giants with playoffs on the line 

 

 

[RichRiderBills]

Still a long road for Bungles.

 

Colts SMH.....so easy a path. 

[chongli]

Can I change my vote on the other thread? I want to face the Colts in the WC!

Hoping Mike Evans makes the tally on the season as close to 1000 as he can. 

Always loved his game. Stud receiver. Hope he keeps his streak alive.

Brock Bowers broke Ditka's record.

 

That's exceptional for Ditka. Before the passing league, where TE's were in line blockers, with other amazing TE's in the history of this league it is remarkable.

 

TE is a very hard position to play - especially for rookies.

Well, they still had to have Denver lose next week to KC, which is not likely, as KC is resting its starters.

[Jeffbigalls]

If Minnesota and Detroit both win that will be the last game of the Regular Season next week on SNF, that would be my guess

[Mr. WEO]

It's hard to imagine a team as bad as the Colts were still in it.

 

 

Also, Mayfield tearing it up.

[gonzo1105]

Colts are a bad football team but thats what happens when you expand to 7 teams a conference.

[Process]

Will be interesting to see that the Eagles do next week with Barkley. They are locked into the 2 seed. He'll be what, 100 yards away from the record?

 

No way you play him right? Funny it's against the Giants. They would probably put 10 in the box all game to make sure he doesn't get it.

So pissed it's warm in Cleveland - the tua/fins cant win in temp under 40 is my favorite thing in sports 

[LabattBlue]

Nice job Colts.  Way to crap your pants.

It's got to the point where I want the Dolphins to win. I don't trust the Chiefs not to somehow beat the Broncos, even if they rest their starters.

[Malazan]

Dorian Thompson-Robinson vs Tyler Huntley. Whoo boy NFL.

It would seem inconceivable to me that Reid and the Chiefs wouldn't make sure they lose and keep Cincy out

Would still prefer the Fins to win tonight. The way the commentators were talking the Fins would beat the Bengals on tiebreaker?

[Sojourner]

Saquon breaking the rushing record next week?

 

Crazy that he essentially needs a whole extra game in comparison to Dickerson and 2 where OJ was at on his ‘73 feat.

OJ's 2000 is the true unbelievable RB record - 14 games and back in the day when defenses were built to stop the run, and every opposing defense was keyed on stopping him. (BTW I was at the second to last game that season OJ ran for over 200 in a snowstorm which set it up to be possible to get the record and even 2000 the next week)

 

Sorry but Saquon can get off my lawn with this record in 17 games - doesn't impress me at all

I was at Shea for OJs record breaking game. 14 years old and with my Dad, who wanted to beat the traffic and leave . I think I was colder there that day than at any winter Game I've attended in Orchard Park

[H2o]

This looks like a completely different Sam Darnold.
