RIPPA Posted December 27, 2017 Posted December 27, 2017 Ravens are bitching that their game got moved to 4:25 pm so that makes me happy Other than that - this season can't end soon enough
johnnyboy Posted December 27, 2017 Posted December 27, 2017 I must be having a Christmas dinner hangover. James Harrison is a Patriot now? Did I overdo it on the roast potatoes? I'm still not convinced that the Garoppolo trade was too clever. Sir Tom can say that he's going to play another 10 years, but I can say that I'm going to take Scarlett Johansson out for a Nando's... We're clearly nearer the end of his career than the beginning. Was a tag and trade like they did with Cassel not an option to at least delay the decision into the off-season? Obviously I hope that he has another decade of glory and ends up winning one for his toes, but then the nagging doubt of reality claws at me.
Contentious C Posted December 27, 2017 Posted December 27, 2017 Well, we're ridiculously thin on the front 7. It's sort of like regressing to the mean after everything breaking well last year - shrugging off the Jones/Collins trades and finding McClellin/Flowers/Van Noy - whereas injuries have meant everything's broken the other way this year. Bill is probably wondering if Willie McGinest still has anything left at this point.

RIPPA Posted December 27, 2017 Author Posted December 27, 2017 One day after being called a cancer by his own teammate - Eli Apple got himself suspended by the Giants for "a pattern of behavior that is conduct detrimental to the team." Good times
Kevin Wilson Posted December 28, 2017 Posted December 28, 2017 That's some Scott Steiner level math right there. 4

RIPPA Posted December 28, 2017 Author Posted December 28, 2017 So the Giants are going with Dave Gettleman as GM Not surprising at all - I just am really leery due to how things went south in Carolina At least this means there is a chance Josh McDaniels won't be the HC 1
Craig H Posted December 28, 2017 Posted December 28, 2017 Steelers aren't playing Big Ben or Lev Bell on Sunday.

Top 10 easily. Just don't expect to spend much in free agency. Ever.

Brian Fowler Posted December 29, 2017 Posted December 29, 2017 I'm slightly surprised just because home field is still up for grabs, technically. Cleveland is facing not only tying the '08 Lions for worst record ever, but if they lose they'd also set a new record for worst two year record ever at 1-31 (The Lions, again, went 2-30 08-09)

A loss by either of them opens the door for the Chargers or the Bills.
Gonzo Posted December 29, 2017 Posted December 29, 2017 Full Week 17 NFC Playoff Scenarios Philadelphia Eagles Locked into #1 seed Minnesota Vikings Clinch #2 seed with win (vs Chicago) OR New Orleans win (at Tampa Bay) OR Los Angeles win (vs San Francisco) OR Carolina loss (vs Atlanta) Los Angeles Rams Clinch #3 seed with win (vs San Francisco) New Orleans Saints Clinch NFC South with win (at Tampa Bay) OR Carolina loss (vs Atlanta); would move up to #3 seed with win and Los Angeles loss (vs San Francisco) Carolina Panthers Clinch NFC South win win (at Atlanta) AND New Orleans loss (at Tampa Bay); would take #2 seed with win AND Minnesota loss (vs Chicago) AND Los Angeles loss (vs San Francisco) AND New Orleans loss (at Tampa Bay) Atlanta Falcons Clinch playoff berth with win (vs Carolina) OR Seattle loss (vs Arizona) Seattle Seahawks Clinch playoff berth with win (vs Arizona) AND Atlanta loss (vs Carolina) Shorter version Philly is your top seed no matter what. Minnesota is the #2 seed unless a lot of stuff happens. The only team that can knock Minnesota out of the 2 spot is Carolina. The Rams have announced that they're resting Todd Gurley and Aaron Donald against San Francisco. New Orleans doesn't have that luxury because they still haven't won their division yet. Atlanta is in with a win. Seattle is the only other team still alive in the NFC.
Craig H Posted December 29, 2017 Posted December 29, 2017 I really don't get the Steelers punting on home field advantage. It looks like they're setting themselves up for a trap game against Cleveland. Of course, if things look bad, you can just have Big Ben and Bell go in in the 2nd half.

They're probably more worried about Myles Garrett getting his wish and sacking Big Ben, than they are about securing home field.
