Week 17 Other Games Thread

[Joemailman]

Bills leading Jets 16-7 at half.

Upper decks at Soldier Field look mostly empty.

[yetisnowman]

Suh rolls up Brady low and then bends his upper body back down. Brady hobbled but still playing. At what point can the NFL just kick this guy out of the league?

[Joemailman]

Bills lead jets 19-10. Steelers lead Browns 17-9. Steelers in if these games stay the same.

[pbmax]

I can't believe, strike that, I guess I can, that Fitzgerald looks this up and down in the wind.

Bills may have found an offense even if they cannot run versus the Jets. Jets Wilerson hurt and going to the locker room.

Watkins having a nice game versus Revis.

[pittstang5]

Steelers about to run away with their game. Bills still 2 pts ahead of Jets.

[Rutnstrut]

The Jets defense reminds me of the Packers D. They aren't terrible, but can't stop shit when it counts. One other thing I have been thinking all season. It's a good thing the Packers didn't try to get Brandon Marshall, he sucks.

Don't think the Bears would have been willing to trade him to the Packers.

[Joemailman]

Steelers in . Jets out. Tennessee and Cleveland with the top picks in draft.

[Rutnstrut]

Not that TT even tried, that doesn't fit draft and develop.

[smuggler]

Jets really shit the bed today. Disappointing. The officiating was not very good in that game, either, but they also did everything they could to lose and did so in the end.

Yea, they fucked it up good.

[Rastak]

Seahawks rolling so far.

[Joemailman]

Looked early on like Seattle playing with more intensity. These week 17 games always hard to predict.

[Rastak]

Panthers rolling too.

[Rutnstrut]

Let's hear again how Seattle is just a flash in the pan and since they don't just rely on draft and develop they won't be successful.

[red]

well, i'm still all for trading our playoff birth for a draft pick

i don't want to play the panthers, cardinals, now the seahawks and probably after tonight the vikings

lets just skip it this year

or we could forfeit, because in the words of our head coach we've already hit our goal for the season of 10 wins

Yup, most of the Kool-aid crowd are happy with the season as it is. Stubby and the team tried hard, and all the injuries. We shouldn't have higher expectations. These types are why there are now participation trophies.

You really make some stupid comments. I don't know of anybody on this forum who seems happy with this season.

[mraynrand]

Don't think the Bears would have been willing to trade him to the Packers.

I had forgotten there was a trade involved in him going to the Jets. Yeah, Bears probably would not have been excited to deal him to the Packers. Alternatively, TT is simply satisfied to compete for the North championship and a playoff game, because, unlike all other teams, TT and Stubby are not interested at all in winning the Superbowl.

I love participation trophies. Why go for the championship when you can get the same thing without having to work for it? God bless entitlementia.

[yetisnowman]

Man talk about shitting the bed. All Denver needs is a win over the chargers at home to clinch homefield throughout. They just committed their 5th turnover 4 mins into the 3rd quarter. Still lead 7-6.

[mraynrand]

who are their key free agents again? Wilson? Lockett? or were you referring to Graham and Flynn?

BRING BLACK MANNING!!!!

[Rastak]

Peyton Manning is warming up!

[yetisnowman]

Peyton warming up.

[esoxx]

Manning coming in to save the day.

Cue John Facenda.

Watch him throw a pick six with his first throw.

[mraynrand]

Based on GB-AZ and Sea-AZ, Seattle would win the rematch against GB 78-3.

CONGRADS TO EX BADGER RUSSELL WILSON................4,000 PASSING YARDS

[Rastak]

Cards trotting out the backups.......Ray Farmer got shitcanned as GM of the Browns.

Michael Tanier ‏@MikeTanier 39m39 minutes ago New Jersey, USA

So are the #Cardinals throwing this game for obscure seeding purposes or is that strictly a #Patriots-only explanation for bad games?

Nah, Panthers got it locked.


Peyton takes the field and the crowd goes wild.

Pittsburgh at Cleveland was a "Bet your life" game

[yetisnowman]

Peyton at this point in his career looks as skinny and sickly as any NFL player I've ever seen. Hgh testing sucks.

[Bretsky]

They've did a nice job building that squad with free agents and the draft. Without any research you start with Michael Bennett and Cliff Avril. They traded for Graham.

[Rastak]

Manning just drove them down the field in short order.....

Good examples. Without doing any research I'd bring up Woodson and Peppers for the Packers.

[Bretsky]

Without doing any research I'd say we have 4 examples on why TT might want to utilize it more.

I'd also note without research that you had to go back about 10 years to get a 2nd example for TT while both of Seattle's were very recent. And with some research I think we could come up with more that have helped Seattle but not confident about being able to say the same with GB

OK....10 years is probably too long......but it seems that long ago when GB first signed him.

But I'd agree he was the last notable FA signing besides Peppers

[Guiness]

So what happened with the Arizona-Seattle game? With no playoff seeding at stake, I am reminded of the 2009 week 17 game against the Pack when Arizona played vanilla...

Arizona had a chance at #1 I believe......not anymore of course.

[Bretsky]

Settle handed AZ their asses way before it meant nothing. Seattle has beaten AZ down twice now.

[gbgary]

den sd in a close one. you'd think den wouldv'e been more motivated with a chance for the number 1 seed.

Not true. Cards handled the hawks on the road 39-32.

[gbgary]

manning in there.

[Rastak]

Yea, he came in and immediately drove them down the field to take the lead.

[Bretsky]

oops; I swore I got that from Buck and Aikman but I'm playing catch with a football with my won while watching games and posting

[esoxx]

With Buck & Suck you never know.

Seattle will be a major headache in the playoffs though, that's for sure.

[Bretsky]

SD just goes deep and goes ahead of Denver

[gbgary]

lol sd takes the lead on a blown coverage.

[pbmax]

Pittsburgh at Cleveland was a "Bet your life" game

Did it feature a backup QB for Cleveland?

[Rastak]

Holy cows, so if Denver wins they are #1, if they lose they are #5?


Or did I completely hear that wrong....

I sense a Mea Culpa coming soon on your past anti Russell Wilson rhetoric :))))

I am working on it as we speak. He really had to alter his game and their offense this year. Will be interesting to see how they integrate Lynch back in.

[Rastak]

Denver leads with 1:40 left....27-20.

They just opened it up for him. I continue to declare. Russell Wilson has always did exactly what he was asked to do. This year he got more of an opportunity to excel. And he did. Next year if Beast is back his numbers will fall back some..........BUT........he'll still be every bit as good of a QB as he was this year.

Football Perspective ‏@fbgchase 5s5 seconds ago
J.J. Watt vs. Lawrence Taylor

Lead NFL in sacks: Watt (2-1)
Top 2 in sacks: Watt (3-1)
Top 3 in sacks: Watt (3-2)

Watt is 26 years old.

[woodbuck27]

Some real surprizes again in results this final week of the regular schedule.

NE loses @ Miami.

Arizona is blown out by Seattle @ Home.

KC keeps rollin' along.

Carolina makes it look easy on a nice rebound game.

Denver justv scrapes by at Mile High Vs the lowly Dan Diego Chargers.

The NY Jets lose a heartbreaker on the road in Buffalo.

Some normal stuff:

Da Bears suck Vs Detroit @ Home.

The NY Giants work harder to get Tom Coughlin FIRED !

[smuggler]

So, the Chiefs actually look like a team that might win the Super Bowl. They started the Season 1-5. We started the season 6-0 and have gone 4-6 since that time. They've gone 10-0 since.

[mraynrand]

Packers have more quality losses than the Chiefs
