JJ Watt with back to back stupid penalties, could end up costing his team the game. First time ever a 1-13 team would beat a 10-4 team.

[AlexG]

Ridiculous call by the refs...roughing the passer..what a joke!

[Batman1980]

Glover Quin is a dumb dumb but not enough time to run it in from the 1, gotta throw it again, tight at the 1.

[Navster]

OMG what an upset

[AlexG]

Wow...that could cost them the #1 pick..Manning breathes a sigh of relief...

[Tony208]

damn bs penalties
how many is that in this game?

[Batman1980]

I actually think now Minnesota may end up with the #1 pick, Indianapolis could well ride this wave of momentum to a 3rd straight win over Jacksonville.

[AlexG]

I could be wrong but right now the Rams would have the #1 pick...followed by the Colts and than the Vikings...well thats if both teams lose on Saturday...

Rams currently have the worst conference record at 1-10...so if they lose outright than they would own the #1 pick...Colts and Vikings would be a toss up at #2....

[Tony208]

If Manning can't come back healthy and the Colts don't get the #1 pick, they could be in the gutter of that division for years.

You should do an avatar bet with Waboman for the week 17 game.

They coddled Yates too much in this game with all the short passes.

Let me correct myself regarding the tie breaker if it comes to that...

Rules for determining draft order

The selection order is based on each team's win-loss record in the previous season and whether the team reached the playoffs. Teams that did not reach the playoffs the previous season are ranked in reverse order of their records (so the team with the fewest wins is awarded the first selection). Ties between teams with identical records are determined by the following tiebreakers (in order):

1.Strength of schedule, which is the combined win-loss record for all 16 of the team's opponents in the previous season (ties count as a half win and half loss). The team with the lower strength of schedule (i.e. their opponents compiled fewer wins) is granted the earlier pick in round one.
2.Division tiebreakers(if the teams are in the same division).
3.Conference tiebreakers(if the teams are in the same conference).
4.Coin flip(s) which occur(s) at the pre-draft NFL Combine.

Teams that reached the playoffs the previous season are then slotted in the order in which they were eliminated as indicated in the table below. Within each tier, the slotting is determined as above (i.e. worst record picks first and the same tiebreakers apply).

Yates doesn't have anyone that can get down the field consistently, besides it's hard to have time to go deep when the other team goes 9 in the box on just about every play. He's their #3 QB, Orlovsky is technically Indy's #4, the ending was a lot more exciting than I thought it'd be, glad I tuned in for it.

So If the Rams or Vikings get the #1 selection do they pick Andrew Luck.
Don't the Rams and Vikings already have a top drafted QB in their midst.
Seeing that the Vikings already selected Christian Ponder with their 11th overall pick last year and have been starting him for the past 8 or so games, it would be interesting to see if they throw that development away to pursue Luck *no pun intended*

As for Sam Bradford he had a solid rookie season last year but has struggled on the field this season and injuries have been a concern as well. Do the Rams throw him to the wayside?

the rams trade away the #1 pick for addt'l picks so they can pick up a couple weapons and needed players.

the vikings preferably don't draft him either b/c of them being in the same division as my packers.

I'd agree you could take a kings ransom from a team like say the redskins, now I doubt they'd do anything like trade 4 1st rounders, but you might get a 1,2 for two years.

That list is strength of sched going into this season based off of 2010 -- thats now meaningless.

They go by SOS by how teams opponents did this year 2011.

edit:
just saw that if the colts go 2-14 they get #1 pick no matter what anyone does.

[MD-Blu]

What a crazy ending to last night's game. As a Colts fan I hope that wasn't Wayne's last home game, but I'm afraid it will be.

I'm glad for my team playing spoiler though!!!
