2022 Week 17 NFL Game Discussion Thread

[NFLfan]

The last two weeks of the regular NFL season are upon us. The season seems to go so fast. 

 

Anyway, the football week starts tonight. Are you watching the game? What are your thoughts and observations?

Anything interesting? I'm still on my way from work. I last saw there was no score with 10 min left in the first quarter. That was almost an hour ago.

[crazycolt1]

Cowboys up 10-0

A couple of turnovers 

[NFLfan]

Is Tannehill starting?

If Titans lose, are they out?

Dobbs is starting.  

Not sure about in or out 

Henry's out also 

[chad72]

Dallas should be blowing them out since Tannehill and Henry are out and Dobbs, he’s lousy so far at QB. Cowboys are shooting them selves in their foot with 2 turnovers.

 

No way the Cowboys have character to go on the road and beat Bucs.

And yes Dallas is weird man.. sucks they're probably letting Tom Brady getting to the divisional round

[crazycolt1]

I dislike both these teams.

TN at 60-70% of their D is giving the Cowboys fits. I’m still not handing the division to the Jaguars till they earn it.

I mean they've won what, their last 4? That's kinda earning it. Plus Tenn is all kinds of banged up Jax will feel pretty horrible if they don't make it ..

[crazycolt1]

I don't think Dak can take the Cowboys deep into the playoffs.

TN is on a 5 game losing streak. Jaguars  lost 4 won 4 and haven’t shown consistency over the course of a year lately.

 

Dak is throwing INTs as bad as Matt Ryan and Derek Carr, ouch!!

[chad72]

Titans have outstanding DL coaching. But their secondary is undisciplined bailing out Dak

[Chrisaaron1023]

That was a cheese flag..

How can this still be a game with titans sitting everyone.

Titans have a lot of injuries.  They are not really sitting everyone

They are also sitting players that probably would of played with minor injuries. If this game had mattered Henry would of played.

 

TY looks great.

@vikingsFan You and I need to give Cousins his props. Tomorrow, a 64th QB will start an NFL game, tying a record set in 2007. I think another QB may start next week and the record would be broken. Cousins has taken every snap for us. He is never injured. He has played more winning football this year although the QB stats might say otherwise. JJ has been a big help. 

 

I still want us to draft a QB, even if it is to sit behind Cousins.

[NFLfan]

Who wins the battle of Jaire Alexander and Justin Jefferson tomorrow? Alexander said Jefferson's play against him earlier in the year was "a fluke". Hopefully JJ shows class and takes the high road. He should answer that with his play, not with words. 

 

[2006Coltsbestever]

The Panthers at Bucs game has me intrigued. If the Panthers win, that could be the end of Tom.

[Chrisaaron1023]

Wth is wrong with Ron Rivera? Carson Wentz really??

At least Wentz scored a touchdown. That's more than Colts' QBs have done. 

[Chrisaaron1023]

The bucs really are like Michael Myers.. they will NOT go the f away

Bro for real.. everytime the Panthers would go up multiple scores the bucs would score within a blink of an eye... Geeze..  and they'll get a home playoff game. 

[chad72]

Packers special teams guy - if you’re recovering a blocked punt and going towards your end zone, best solution is always a safety, just 2 points given up and better field position and chance for your D, IMO. 
 

Edit: On the contrary, if your D stops them at the 2 yard line, they give up only a FG and don’t give the ball back, I stand corrected.  

[Chrisaaron1023]

 

Is that what the Vikings are doing right now?

[teganslaw]

Kirk Cousins needs to lead the team to a comeback in the second half. Maybe not win, but he has to throw some touchdowns because I have him on my fantasy team. It would help for Packers' defense to melt down and let the Vikings score. I need points!

 

All the Vikings have to do is pretend that they're playing the Colts. 

[Nesjan3]

Does anyone know how these tiebreakers will shake out. Like Packers and Seahawks hold on and if the winner of the Lions at Packers game next week is 9-8 and the Seahawks win next week also to be 9-8 who gets in?

 

Same with the AFC if Dolphins and Pats both end 9-8 who has the tiebreaker?

I think it’s conference record if there’s no head to head and just 2 teams, then record vs common teams for wild card tie breakers

 

https://www.nfl.com/standings/tie-breaking-procedures

 

It’s a 2 way tie between Seahawks and winner of Lions/Packers and the conference record is first tie breaker. Seahawks already have 6 losses in conference, while Packers/Lions winner will only have 5.

 

Patriots will be 8-9 and Dolphins will be 9-8 most likely because the Patriots play the Bills and the Dolphins play the Jets. If they are all tied at 8-9, Patriots have better division record than Dolphins and 2-0 vs Jets.

Lol yeah these games man.. they must know fantasy championships are going down.. jets also just not conceding almost got their QB killed!!

[Nesjan3]

Ok I think I figured it out, With Seahawks and Packers win today Commanders are eliminated. Setting up win and in next week for Packers. Seahawks need to win and Lions to win. Lions need to win and Seahawks to lose. 

 

The AFC is so convoluted I can't figure it out with the Steelers and Jags still involved in Wildcard potential. Jets im pretty sure are eliminated. I do think the Pats win next week they are in no matter what but could be wrong.

Yep, Packers win and they are in.

 

Pats same thing but harder to beat Bills for Patriots than Lions for Packers 

[chad72]

@2006Coltsbestever @Chrisaaron1023

 

Can’t believe Robbie Gould missed a 41 yarder to send the Raiders game to OT, lol  

 

Nick Bosa cleaned it up and the 49ers are No.2 seed with Robbie Gould redeeming himself

Yeah I love the "pats control their own destiny" narrative as they travel to buffalo next week . They'll be in Cancun with us next monday
