Saturday Afternoon Game Thread

[The Dark Bishop]

Yall spending energy watching the bears and forget the team that really has to lose is Atlanta. If they don't lose then nothing else matters.

Not really forgot anything, just nothing else to watch except for UFC on Fox 26. I normally wait for my son to watch those.

Not true. We can make the playoffs even if Atlanta wins out.

I can find something else to watch besides two NFC teams who won't be in the playoffs

So true... It's all about those tie breakers with conference record being more important than head to head....

Please tell me how

Please tell me how

It's going to take 3 or 4 way ties where conference record is the primary tie breaker. We are talking lottery type odds here.

For starters, the Panthers would need to lose at least 2 of 3 games. They would need to get to 6 losses.

Hey I am happy you got better things to watch. Me, personally, I wanted to see a good divisional game. Sadly the game did not live up to the rivalry. Luckily there is still the Chiefs vs the Chargers.

Here's to hoping that game becomes a good one with two possible playoff teams in the AFC.

not really

Dallas wins out

Carolina over GB
New orleans over atlanta
Detroit over gb.

Dallas, Detroit, Atlanta all 10-6

or

GB over Carolina and Detroit.
New Orleans over Atlanta
Atlanta over Carolina
Dallas wins out

Dallas, GB, Atlanta, Carolina all 10-6

those are just two of the scenarios....The best one is GB over Carolina, Minnesota over GB, GB over Detroit
Then New Orleans over Atlanta and Atlanta over Carolina..

Dallas Atlanta Carolina all 10-6 with two spots available.

I doubt we make the playoffs. We're not going to get the help we need to get there. My only hope is we get to Game 17 and tattoo the Eagles in a game they need for seeding so the entire league realizes how lucky they were that Zeke sat for 6 games.

 

[Floatyworm]

now we need carolina to win tomorrow and gb to beat detroit week 17.

You sure? I thought We are screwed if Carolina wins....

Thank you.

The Cowboys are not making the playoffs.

 

[theebs]

Thank you.

ok. winning out is the first thing so in the end that is all that matters. I guess we will see how tomorrow goes.

 

[The Dark Bishop]

Well here we go with the kickoff to the Chiefs vs Chargers......

My money is on the upset. Go Chargers.....

 

[The Dark Bishop]

Ouch..... Murray with the sack on Rivers......

 

[waldoputty]

And that is the ballgame.... Another INT by Trubisky..... Awful throw.....

is he a bust - never liked that pick...

 

[waldoputty]

Take a sip Everytime the ball is snapped!

you mean everytime a ball is snipped...

 

[mmohican29]

I'm trying to think of when the Bears had a really good offense.

The '85 Bears had a historic defense. But their offense wasn't much better than average. Even with Walter Payton and Willie Gault, they were not an offense you feared.

I don't think any of us were alive the last time Chicago had a top notch offense.

A few years back they had a prolific offense with Marshall, Forte, Olsen, and Jeffery. They could stop no-one on Defense.

 

[Ranching]

That's only two drinks! Lol, I've done that on the ranch!

 

[Idgit]

Thank you.

The Cowboys are not making the playoffs.

You think one of those scenarios playing out is far-fetched?

 

[The Dark Bishop]

Not sure if he is a bust just yet, but to take him over Watson has me scratching my head.
