Saturday games:

KC at Denver 4:30 ABC/ESPN

Dallas at Philly 8:30 ABC/ESPN

Yawn.

Seeing a valiant effort by the Broncos against the Chiefs and I'm reminded

Anyone who advocates the Browns lose their final game for a draft position

Just doesn't get it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I get that people want a higher draft pick, but I think the teams playing at home owe that effort to the fans who paid good money for tickets and showed up for a meaningless game. The same goes for the Browns tomorrow, IMO.

Anyone think the Browns offense can look good tomorrow, I mean they're playing the hapless bengals !!

The Broncos made a Browns play. Denver was in deep in KC territory they fumble Chiefs recover and return it 86 yards for what turned out to be winning score. We couldn't do it any better!!!

I don't give 2 Turds about any game the dallas cowboys have played in the last 20 years, or that they'll play the next 20 either!

Unless it helps the Browns!

It was a great play by Melvin Ingram. The RB (Gordon) had no chance to even get a handle on the handoff. Sometimes you just have to tip your hat to a great play by the defense.

No D so far in the Philly/Dallas game. 7-7 with 5 left in the 1st.

No refs either apparently - Dallas wasn't called for one of the more blatant OPIs I've seen.

agreed... 100%.

Win your games. Win as many as you can in every season. If your GM/FO is worth what they're being paid, they'll get best value wherever they draft. Losing intentionally to move up a space or two is the epitome of a loser's culture. Besides, this team's "middle of the pack" final record isn't going to make much of a difference in draft standing with one more loss in the books. Play to win because you have fans in the stands at a home game. Play to win because it's a division rival. Play to win because it shows the fans that you care as much as they do. Play to win because you have some freakking pride. It's still professional football, even if there is no post-season to play for. Do your jobs; earn your paychecks.

The NFC might as well be soccer.

I have no interest in watching any NFC games and haven't watched one, really since the Thursday opener of the season,
and I was pretty unhappy that the owboys were in that one anyway.

I see no reason why a decent thinking person would watch the cowboys play, they are irrelevant

felt bad for Denver... was hoping they'd pull that one off...

Keep this in mind, I think this is correct (Haven't double checked it).

But if we win and Pittsburgh wind, the Ravens finish last in the division.
If we lose or Baltimore wins, we finish last.

Steeler go up 13-10 with 2:51 left in the 4th

13-13 now. 1:13 left.

Pitt and Balt looking like nobody wants to win.

Overtime

I think om gonna puke

What's less nauseating, watching the steelers in the playoffs or having to root for the rats to beat them?

Can both teams lose? Lol

Only if they tie.

If that rapist gets in stefanski must be fired

Is it wrong of me to hope that the Steelers lose as Ben throws an INT for a TD?

That would be awesome

FURE STEFANSKI. This is his fault

Just waiting on that Steeler last second field goal now

Any minute now…..

PI call?

Aaaaaany minuuuute now…..

lets go tie

Tomlin has the balls of a burglar.

He had no choice.

really hoping for a tie

I cant stand you stefanski. You let this rapist into playoffs

The rapist is in.

Unbelievable.

I hate this year.

Damned stoolers.

I hate you stefanski !!!!!!!!!!

Looks like they are going for the kick, hopefully wide right!

On a positive note, we finish 3rd in the division and the ravens 4th.

Can only hope...

Unless the Chargers and Raiders tie

Get a grip.

ffs

Come on Chargers/Raiders tie!!

Is the guy on the right comedian John Pinnette? R.I.P.
wait: Is he the "old man" from the t.v. show "Pawn Stars" 2010, also R.I.P.
Just a common face structure of a scow

I hate you stefanski!!!!!!!!!I HATE YOU

Who did the Steelers just know out?
The Colts???
I think the Colts, not the chargers or Raiders winner, the Chargers or Raiders winner would still get in, I'm going to have to check some notes.

I can't believe the colts lost to the Jags

Remember the day the League Manufacutred the win for the Steelers over the Bears, because of a 15 yard personal conduct penalty on the Bears player who had just gotten the sack, and all the player did
was stare at the steeler sideline, and didn't even,
didn't even
didn't even "stop and stare" as he was still moving off the field. But!

The League, wuvs their steelwer teddy bwear, no way could they ever wet duh Old stewuh ohwuners not make duh pwayoffs

They should be ashamed. As Charles Barkley says, That is tuurable

Unless the Raiders and Chargers tie, the Stool Samples are in.

Their 9-7-1 beats the loser of the Raiders/Chargers game. The Wild Cards would be the whichever team has the better seed between the Bills and Pats ..... The West WC .... and the Stool Samples.

Sickening that Pittsburgh just defies odds to win

oh look, my wife's FB feed is blowing up from all her steeler friends celebrating, I should unfriend them for her

It's Joe Cobb and Norman Chaney. It's a still from "Our Gang" (Little Rascals), both kids thought they were supposed to win and the other one was supposed to lay down. So neither tried to win and just expected the other to give up.

Sickening.

We had our chances to take them down and crapped ourselves. They’re in because of us.

They're in because they won 9 games... sure we could have knocked them out... but so could baltiwhore and a bunch of other teams...

Someone said the Colts hadn't won IN Jacksonville, since 2014.

....------

Are the Patriots about to lose on purpose to make sure they play the Bengals in round one or something???

Miami and NO both with early leads which helps our draft order

It is. On paper we were the superior team, this was OUR year to start dominating them, and just like always we crap the bed

On a positive note, unless those #####s win the super bowl, the Browns will have won more games in the last 2 years than the bengals.
4-12 in 2020 they were.

You could stick it to him by boycotting the forum until the Browns win a Super Bowl with their next coach.

OMG!!!! Jacksonville won! I didn't think it was possible but wow! As long as the Chargers and Raiders don't tie, the Steelers are in! Sorry, didn't read the entire thread.

Buffalo is leading the jets 13-0,< by google (10-0 by update 8 minutes later) maybe pending the xp I dunno.

As long as Buffalo beats the jets, the patriots can not win their div. with either a win or loss against the dolphins.

Either way, they'd stay at the #5 seed, iirc.

The Colts 9-8, and the
loser of the Chargers- Raiders game, about to be played, both 9-7, will each be 9-8 and behind the 9-7-1 steelers for wild card spot #7

The winner of the Chargers Raiders game, at 10-7, would be above the steelers at 9-7-1, yet if they tie, the 3 teams at 9-7-1
in a 3 way tie, they'd first remove the team in 3rd place in any div. not 2nd place,
and 2nd look at if any team had swept both other teams, well the steelers lost to both the raiders in week 2 and chargers in week 11.

So if the Raiders and chargers tie the,... the chargers beat the raiders in the first meeting and would be ahead 2nd place in their div. so the chargers would be in at 9-7-1 over the 9-7-1 raiders, and 9-7-1 steelers.
but if either the Raiders or chargers win their game they would be 10-7 and In along with the steelers, while their opponent would be out.

If the Patriots, lose and finish 10-7, they beat the chargers so they are ahead of the chargers,
my notes had the raiders conf record wrong so the raiders (f they win) and pats would be 8-4 in the afc and go to common games minimum 4.
At which the Raiders, if they win, would surpasse the Patriots for the 5 seed, if the patriots lose to the dolphins whom they' are trailing,
on the strength of a 5-1 v. a 2-4 record in common opponents minimum 4 which would be 5 opps. the Browns, Colts, Dolphins, Cowboys, and Chargers.

In the Patriots Dolphins game, the referees reviewed the 3rd down spot.

After looking at the video the Ref said,
" After review the ball is 6 inches further, we will move the ball and measure for the first down." It was still not a 1st down.
now. Make of that what you will. ( I don? No, I don't know if the Ref was married.)

This 49ers at Rams is a pretty fun watch.

Lets go Chargers!

Great game to watch.

Dolphins begin the season 1-7 and finish with a better record than the Browns. Yikes!

Obligatory game-changing PI call on Niners in OT vs Rams. It would have been a better no-call on 3rd & 10, with pretty insignificant contact, IMO. Zebras wrecking the game, once again.

No matter, Niners just intercepted Stafford to win in overtime, 27-24.

On a throw towards OBJ too...

I thought it was a pretty clear penalty. The guy had a fist full of jersey.

I watched the Dolphins & Patriots game.. Good to see the Pats lose...

Didn't get to see that... QB error ...OBJ on wrong route or good d play ?

Nah Stafford threw the ball up for grabs about 40 yards downfield…

The Rams clinched the division because the Cardinals lost. They heaved one downfield to end the game.

I wonder if Stafford was expecting OBJ to come back and catch it or draw the penalty. The DB played the ball like it was for him.

I agree it was probably a penalty, I just didn't think it was significant to the incompletion.

The Rams were trying to end the game.

Thank you !!

I think it slowed the receiver enough that is likely it affected the receiver's ability to make a better play on the ball.

It did feel kinda gimme since it was the end of game and it really could have changed things.

Collinsworth must be hammered. He just called Al Michaels "Mike". No Chris, Mike Tirico was last week.

Don't attribute to alcohol what can be chalked up to just being an idiot.

Al Micheals is outmatched,
Al said in the show open, " if they tie the steelers get in" . (completely incorrect,)

The Raider Offense is 2 and a half times greater than the Browns offense!

Teams that make playoffs' have offenses that get points!!!!!!!!!!

looking at some of the other teams stadiums.... it's like .. seriously, can the Browns get a nice stadium ? It's not bad but....

Chargers deserved to lose for going for it 4th 1.5 yards from there own 19.

Chargers went for it on 4th down from their own 18 and didn't convert. That's a crazy decision to me

they went for it on their own 26 the day the refs stole the game for them against the Browns with that bogus PI call where the receiver pulled either greedy or newsome into him on the day the chargers played the browns.

-----------------

Now. Some may look at the Raiders and say, Defense wins Championships.
But!

The Raiders opened the game with Dominance and Power to get 10 points on Offense, in the opening few minutes of the first quarter!

Without OFFENSE, the adage of defense winning championships is just a joke!

Yes, please!

Build a stadium w/ a retractable roof. Stadium is wildly outdated.

Should the Raiders take the Field goal on 2nd down?

Milk Man wants to pay for 100% of the new stadium!

I advocate that any football NFL owner that gets a new stadium by abandoning a current stadium that is less than 39.5 years old needs to pay a 250 million, adjusted for inflation from the year 2005 luxury tax back to the community that paid for the previous stadium!

or a value equal to 1/4 of the new stadiums cost, whichever is greater! And I think if it were up to the voters, more would be on my side.
(from ground breaking or stadium open?, from stadium open of course otherwise owners would just break ground on stadiums 20 years early to create a loophole.)
