RIPPA Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 Since Atlanta won last night - Green Bay has been eliminated from playoff contention for the first time since Week 15 of 2008 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig H Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 When Atlanta won last night, I started wondering if they would put Rodgers back on the shelf since he still isn't at 100%. He landed a couple times on his right side, but it seems to make more sense to not risk re-injuring his collarbone. It's more experience for Hundley too.

Dolfan in NYC Posted December 19, 2017 Author Share Posted December 19, 2017 To get to the playoffs, the Dolphins need.... 1 Charger L, 1 Raider L, 2 Titans L's, the Patriots to beat the Bills, and to win out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 What's funny about that is it isn't THAT crazy to happen. Probably the toughest part might be Miami winning its two games (@ KC, home against Bills). Either that or banking a Chargers loss Titans play Rams and Jags. Pats beating Bills - easy to imagine The Raiders play at Philly Week 16 Chargers play at the Jets Week 16 Raiders and Chargers play each other Week 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogwelder Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 I could easily see the Chargers not showing up against the Jets. It's a game on the opposite coast on Christmas Eve for the Chargers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Death From Above Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 It feels like every single season, the Chargers beat at least one Superbowl contender, only to then piss away a game against a bottom tier team. It's simply The Way of Rivers, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Wilson Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 I always have to chuckle at "playoff scenarios" before Week 16. Not that I don't enjoy it, I know all of the Bills' scenarios, but something weird and crazy always happens that totally wipes out the predictions. Like everyone loses, or some 1 win team beats someone, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 Lions need to win out and have either Atlanta or Carolina lose out, so it's probably not going to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Infinit Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 Know what would be a freaking amazing early Christmas present? The Bills tripping up the Pats.

Dewar Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 The correct call being made is now a travesty? Fuck, I argued in the Patriots favor. I want to throw up now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all know what's going to happen is exactly what I predicted 3 months ago - Detroit and Atlanta will finish with the same record and Detroit will be left out because of that nonsense game ending.

Yes, I am told he is suffering from a badly bruised ego and slightly sprained courage.. 9 hours ago, Infinit said: Know what would be a freaking amazing early Christmas present? The Bills tripping up the Pats. Bills fans deserve it, and Pats deserve it after that travesty last Sunday at Heinz Field. The Catch Rule is just a shit rule that needs to go away. No one would be bitching about it if were Gronk or Amendola that got the TD called back, because everyone would've loved to have seen them unhappy... myself included. And the more I think about it, the less salty I am about the last play of the game. If the trick play works, Steelers are 12-2 and have home field advantage. If not, then Steelers are still 11-3 and will clinch the division and something bad can still happen to the Pats on the way to the Playoffs. Some gambles are worth the payoff and I guess that is why I am not an NFL Coach. I'd have kicked that field goal and maybe still would've lost in OT by allowing Brady to get back on the field and work some wizardry against a secondary he was slowly beginning to pick apart.
