2023 Week 16 All Around the NFL Game thread

[Chrisaaron1023]

😂 the cowboys would rather turn the ball over than let tony Pollard score a TD

[Lancer1]

Another Mayfield to Evans touchdown, the Bucs now lead 20-0!

Same thing with Heinecke but that didn’t turn out well for us

Yup… Heinecke is one of my favorite QBs to watch but now he’s not my friend anymore lol

The AFC South looks bad today. No one has played well.

In 2021, Wentz and folks went up 9-6 to go into a win and in situation only to go 9-8.

 

The next 2 games will define Steichen and how he rallies his troops in year 1. Responding after a loss is how a team is more often defined. Will they repeat 2021 9-8 record to miss the playoffs or will they go 10-7 to give themselves an excellent chance to make the playoffs?

If we had to lose one of the 3 remaining games, the Falcons game was the one to lose.  With so many AFC hopefuls with 7 losses, we can reset the playoff picture.  It looks like 10 wins will get someone in once again.  A WC will most likely come from the east and the north.  The third WC is up for grabs.

With the Jaguars losing, if Tannehill gets another start under his belt, the Titans might be able to beat the Jaguars in the last game.

 

So, in other words, the division might still be in play against the Stroud led Texans since the Jaguars could get to 8 losses. 
 

But we HAVE to win out

If Hou, Jax, and Indy are 9-7 by the end of the afternoon next Sun, then I don't think our game against Hou will be flexed to Sat or Sun night.  The NFL will want the Hou/Indy and Jax/Tenn games to be played in the same time slot in order to keep the division title drama going.  I think the week 18 Sun night game will be Buff/Mia.

[Chrisaaron1023]

Dallas is in a bad spot... Even if they score that's a lot of time for Mia to get a FG

[Chrisaaron1023]

Let's go dolphins!!

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Patriots offense looks so much better with Zappe.

[chad72]

They’re only keeping this crappy kicker Chad Hyland for preservation of draft position, lol  

 

Adam Vinatieri out of retirement would kick better than him 

[Lancer1]

Both kickers are having bad nights in this game!

[Dunk]

I actually am cheering for the Pats. Never thought I could do it.

I always tell myself I am not cheering for the Pats to win I am cheering for the other team to lose when facing that situation.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Zappe out there throwing dimes.

[JediXMan]

Broncos are done LMAO.

This is so bad. 

[chad72]

Man, I turned off the game at half time and this happened, lol  

 

I am more happy to see Sean Payton and his head hunting squad get hammered than a dead man walking in Belichick getting hammered. Broncos fumbling their way out of this game gradually, very happy to see that.

 

Just goes to show you how hard it’s to climb back from 1-6, just to even it up and then get a December push on top of that while playing desperate teams to make the playoffs.

Same. I stop watching at halftime with pats down 7-3.. what a nice surprise lol

[Lancer1]

After the offensive futility of the 1st Half, both teams have opened up the scoring spicket in the 2nd.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Pats are going to blow this lol.

[Chrisaaron1023]

Seriously pats... 

[Lancer1]

At least NE has almost 3:00 to get the gamewinning score.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Broncos have a easy last two games if they win this.

I picked 11 games right today.

[Chrisaaron1023]

Wow

[Lancer1]

When both kickers were blowing it in the 1st Half, I had a sneaking suspicion that 1 of them would win it with a late FG.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Crazy ending.

[chad72]

This Patriots win messed up 2 teams. Patriots’ draft position and Broncos’ playoffs possibilities.

 

It puts Patriots behind Panthers, Cardinals and Commanders in draft positioning. 
 

The big question will be, will the Cardinals get rid of Kyler Murray?

It also shows that in this lost season for New England, Bill Belichick hasn't lost the team or the locker room. They're still playing hard for him in this, which is most likely his final season coaching them.

[Chrisaaron1023]

What in the heck is wrong with KC?

[teganslaw]

Pacheco just scored a touchdown, so the Chiefs are finally waking up. 

[holeymoley99]

Wont be the worst thing if Chiefs win close and Raiders suffer a heartbreaking loss,those are often harder to come back from. Just cant have KC lose

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Mahomes looks so bad. 
 

Bengals can beat this team Sunday.

KC D looking good, given up 96 total yards going into half time. Bengals may not score much unless their D scores like Raiders.

Um no. 

[RollerColt]

This Raiders team was considered a contender going into the season. They’d have a better record had McDaniels not been the coach at the beginning of the year. 
 

I see a team that is going to give us all we can handle next week…
