Week 16 Around-the-NFL Game Discussion Thread

[NFLfan]

Congrats on the Colts win! 

 

There are lots of games with playoff implications today. Which ones are you watching?  Which teams are you rooting for?

 

Coverage maps

 

(Yes, I'm rooting for the Vikings. Skol!)

 

[2006Coltsbestever]

Good luck today, I have Bills at Pats at 1pm. Wonderful 

[2006Coltsbestever]

The Colts win is so comical, that was like Rocky beating Clubber, nobody gave us a chance. We are sitting pretty now. I can watch the Bills at Pats and enjoy this now.

[holeymoley99]

Another week were colts fans probably split on who they are rooting for.

 

I'm not pulling for Pats, pulling against Bills as Pats win helps push Buff further back in wildcard

 

Bengals over Ravens, dont want Balt to sneak in and get a healthy Lamar back somehow, def prefer Burrow and company in and then out first game

 

Broncos over Raiders, want Raiders broken going into next week

 

KC over Pitt, end any Pitt chance for post season

 

N.O. over Miami, easy NFC over AFC

 

Houston over Chargers, again push Chargers further behind us

I have to give Miami credit, they are on a roll. Glad we have the tiebreak over them.

If they win at New orleans, at Tenn and vs Pats they deserve a top 7 seed.

Josh Johnson thinks he's playing the Colts again.  Carving up the Bengals.

Well, I definitely want them to win at Tenn.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Some of these games are starting out wild. Texans up on Chargers  I expect bills to win. Imagine playing them again. 

[#12.]

They just listed Josh Johnson's 25 teams.  He was a Colt for 8 days?  Didn't even remember it.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

NE just score a touchdown.

I remember. Are you sure it was for only 8 games? I think he was the 3rd stringer the year that the former Packers QB (not Hasselbeck) started for the Colts in place of Luck. I cannot recall his name. I think his last name started with a V or maybe Z. 

 

Edit: Scott Tolzien (no V at all in his name. Lol)

 

[Indyfan4life]

Cincinnati could be dangerous if they keep playing this way. Then again, it could be because Baltimore is injured everywhere. 

[#12.]

I would rather not play the Bengals, but it looks like that's what it might be.  Good QB, good weapons.  Can score quickly.

 

On the bright side, it's close, so hopefully we can have a good number of Colts fans in the crowd.

[MB-ColtsFan]

Bengals up on Ravens now 17-10.

I agree. I would not want to play them. They have a nice run game too.

Yeah, it looks like 8 days - one 3 day stint, one 5 day stint.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Who has the tie breaker between Bengals and Bills. Who would get the 3rd and 4th seed.

Okay. I thought he was there longer and backed up Scott Tolzien (that is who I was thinking of in my earlier post).

[NFLfan]

Bengals have scored 24 points already!

[#12.]

To this point, the Bengals have outscored the Ravens 65-24 in two games.

[chad72]

Bills, Allen throws behind on the run and they get pass happy by the goal line. They should be up 17-7 now.

[NFLfan]

The Colts play the Raiders next. Will Colts fans be rooting for the Raiders or the Broncos later this afternoon.

 

It may be better to have Raiders lose, no? What do you think?

Bengals better AFC record

Yes broncos win helps us because even if lose to raiders stay ahead of them

[holeymoley99]

Tim Boyle has Lions ahead, big arm likely worst college QB stats of any player in modern NFL history

 

Completed only 48.4 % of his passes with 1 td and 13 ints,,,,,backup at UConn of all places

[NFLfan]

  Vikes can't capitalize on the Stafford INT around the Rams 12 yard line. 

 

We need this win to keep our playoff hopes alive and to spoil the Rams position in the playoffs. I don't like the Rams.

I think we're cheering for the Broncos in that one.

[2006Coltsbestever]

Bills may win this game. BB is like - what the hell is going on expression

That makes sense. But will the Raiders be even more fired up to win next week? 

 

I like Carr. He is a class act and a leader. But I will be rooting for the Colts next week. 

[#12.]

I don't mean to make this whole thread about Josh Johnson, but you could do a lot worse at backup.  Pretty solid.

[2006Coltsbestever]

Bills 17-7, wake up Patriots!

[Indyfan4life]

Bills up 17-7 now. 

[chad72]

I’m not so sure I want to play the Bills again.

On the other hand definitely sure Bills dont want to play us again.

[holeymoley99]

If Chargers lose to Texans their fan base is going to melt down...

Wake up??? Patriots have been outplayed so far. Bills should be up 24-7 but then keep making mistakes 

[DEColtsLover36]

Wow Higgins! What a catch!

Yes but confidence is a weird thing. Josh Allen’s ceiling scares me along with Mahomes, not the case with any other QB in the AFC, IMO. 
 

Mac Jones and Ryan Tannehill are still game manager type QBs with good Ds.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

If Texans can win against Chargers oh boy. Colts are in such a great spot.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Bills are the better team. Jones is playing like a rookie today. Pats still have to go down to Miami where they always struggle.
