That's the type of nonsense to get a coach fired. Just throw a hail mary or kneel and go to OT.

Goff is playing the best football of his career. Career renaissance in Detroit.

I only play the showdowns these days. The Sunday morning/afternoon full-slate contests are just so very hard to win at.

If I break even, I call that a win.

And that's the problem: They've beaten us down so much and so often that we eventually get excited just to not lose money. It's Stockholm Syndrome.

Ill top you one even better, and you know I'm not a fan of this as i want the draft picks to be better for an even longer run but...

Next week A Detroit Win combined with a Seattle and Washington Loss put the Lions in the playoffs...

Not true.

NYG goes 1-2 = 9-7-1 clinch seed 6.
WAS loses but then goes 2-0 = 9-7-1 clinch seed 7.
DET wins but then goes 1-1 = 9-8 eliminated.

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

With the current seedings this is how wildcard weekend might look:

saturday
4:30 - 7was/2min
8:15 - 6nyg/3sf

sunday
1:00 - 7mia/2kc
4:30 - 5dal/4tb
8:15 - 6lac/3cin

monday
8:15 - 5bal/4ten

Actually it is true yes there's still 2 weeks left and Detroit has to win both those games. But they move into the wildcard spot with this weeks scenario.

Though I of course worry about playing against Tyreek....it would be a fun game, if I wasn't fully invested in the Chiefs.

lol Pats

what a funny weekend

Two teams in a row had issues with HOU, I assume they were both just looking past them?

Oh when you said put them in the playoffs i thought you mean clinches.

[Bigdog]

Wow talk about a brain fart from Meyers, not like the Patriots are going anywhere anyways but yikes.

Oh well, they just improved the draft position a bit with that loss i guess. Not to mention the more losses, the more likely Patty boy gets kicked to the curb!

Dallas has been way too full of themselves after blowing out Minnesota and Indianapolis. Makes me wonder if they're going to show up this weekend or just lay down against Hurts and the Iggles.

[Tony208]

Cowboys defense falling off a cliff with poor play and injuries at the wrong time. They will probably be the 5 seed no matter what.

[dcowboy7]

To me its actually better for DAL to lose this wk since they arent catching PHI anyways + then they can rest some players til january 15.

[Mike0284]

A day later and I’m still dumbfounded by this.

Why would you not just take the tackle and go into OT?

Dallas defense is suffering from the fact that the secondary is the Trevon Diggs show. Anthony Brown is bad but the replacements have been worse. So now quarterbacks don't have to hold the ball waiting for receivers to get open.

[Tony208]

1. Chiefs
2. Bengals
3. Bills
4. Eagles
5. 49ers

[Batman1980]

Bengals are worrisome because despite their top 3? QB and fearsome WR trio, they frequently play down to their competition.
1. Chiefs
2. Bills
3. Eagles(nobody else in the NFC looks good, really)
4. 49ers
5. Bengals

[Moviefan1203]

[Tony208]

49ers would be the best team if Jimmy G was healthy. The defense is playing at a historic level.
