Week 16 Other Games Thread

I think the 9ers D has given up half of its total points for the season these last 3 quarters that Justin Smith has been out.

They should just do a Coors commercial with a guy sitting on a lawnmower. Because that's what it is: lawnmower beer.

If the Packers play the Seahawks again, they'll win by 2 scores.

can any defender hit hard on a receiver anymore? I'm no fan of the Seattle DB's but that penalty on Chancellor was pretty lame.

Wow. Akers bad year just gets worse. Nice special teams play by Seattle.

Looks like Packers will be playing for a bye next week. And the Vikings will be playing for a playoff spot. Should be a great one. Wonder how many Packer fans have tickets.

The rule may be lame, but I don't think it was a bad call.

Hits on Defenseless Players
NFL rules provide special protection to defenseless players, by prohibiting (a) hits delivered to their head or neck area by an opponent with his helmet (including facemask), forearm, or shoulder, and (b) hits delivered by an opponent with his helmet (including the top/crown and forehead/"hairline" parts) against any part of the defenseless player's body (i.e., "butting, spearing, or ramming" a defenseless player.)

I think that was close enough to the neck area to draw the flag.

Pretty sure the winner of the Dallas/Washington game wins the NFC East.

I believe that was what I read too but I don't understand it unless ** It's Dallas here!

Check this:

NFC East ...............W L T... Pct ....PF... PA... Net Pts... Home.... Road...... Div...... Conf ....Last 5...... Streak
Washington Redskins 9 6 0... .600.. 408.. 370... +38...... 4-3-0..... 5-3-0.... 4-1-0.....7-4-0.... 5-0-0...... Won 6
Dallas Cowboys....... 8 7 0... .533.. 358.. 372.... -14 ......4-4-0..... 4-3-0.... 3-2-0.... 5-6-0..... 3-2-0...... Lost 1
New York Giants...... 8 7 0... .533.. 387.. 337... +50...... 5-2-0..... 3-5-0.... 2-3-0.... 7-4-0..... 2-3-0...... Lost 2

If Dallas wins at Washington next week then both will finish with a 9-7 record.

The Redskins will have split games with Dallas.

The Skins and Cowboys will have a 4-2 record in the NFCE.

The Skins record in the Conference will be 7-5 Vs the Cowboys Conference record of 6-6.

How do the Dallas Cowboys then... get the tie break?

** I'm guessing that it comes down to the third tie breaker or best won-lost-tied percentage in common games before the fourth ... best won-lost-tied percentage in games played within the conference.

Dallas must have the edge over the Skins in common games!?

Seattle is very aggressive but smaller. Rodgers will be much quicker to take advantage of that than Kaepernick, especially the second time around. I don't even necessarily think that he'll have a great game passing but he and M3 will put the Packers in favorable situations *way* more than Kaepernick has been.

[digitaldean]

If the receiver never had the ball, I agree with it. But the TE had the ball in his gut. It's the defender's job to separate the ball from the receiver. If the receivers head doesn't snap back no flag gets thrown.

Yes.... if Seattle defeats San Fran they will be 10-4-1 and Seattle 10-5. The Green Bay PACKERS are 11-4 and control their own destiny for the #2 seed at Minny next week.

GO PACKERS !

When breaking a tie for a division title, conference record is only the 4th tie-breaker.

The top 3 are:

Head to head
Divisional record
Record against common opponents.

NFl needs to be much harsher on that leading with the head/ hitting a defenseless player bullshit

that fuckward for the cheaters launches himself head first at the best player on the 49ers and knocks davis out of the game. with an illegal hit

penalty was half the distance to the goal, at worse it would have been a 15 yard penalty.

that seems light for illegaly knocking the best player from the other team out of the game. if i'm a defensive player, i go chuck cecil on everyones ass. who cares about the 15 yard penalty if it knocks the guy out of the game

IMO if a player knocks another guy out of the game like that with an illegal play, you kick his ass out of the game. eye for an eye

and fuck the NFL for dragging their asses on the sherman suspension. why doesn't godell just hand the fucking trophy to fuckers at this point

[red]

another bullshit call for the seafucks

if i'm on the 49ers i'm going for knees the rest of the game
