GARION THIS IS NOT A DRILL

Cannot like the above enough!!!

Go Cards! Give up that #1 pick!

GO BEARS!

...oh, and Go Eagles, too.

Who do I have to pay to get the entire Eagles defensive line to tackle every person involved with The Masked Singer?

Baltimore realized it wasn't a drill too. Browns offense completely stalled, no more Perriman catches yet.

This ravens team is going to kill me

Baker's playfakes are the best.

Well, the SEA OL has given up 5 straight sacks on drives, leading to 5 straight three/outs after going up 14-3. Don't like Schotty calling all these play action plays when the run game isn't getting pushed. RUN THE BALL!

Edit: 60+ yd run, then a 15+ yd run for a TD.

Run. The. Ball.

I tried watching the last 3.5 minutes of the Vikings/Bears game but holy cow is the atmosphere miserable. The benefit of a rowdy Eagles game is if the team is losing, the crowd is angry and letting you know just how angry they are. Minnesota is just... on some severe depressants or something man.

It's looking like it's gonna be a real Monkey's Paw for the Eagles. They get in the play-offs, but with... Sudfeld.

Baltimore should have had a bigger lead. Couple of TDs waived off.

Cardinals blow it.

UGH I could taste that #1 overall pick.

Keep your hands off Bosa, Arizona!

In fact, if the Bears and LA both win (and the Eagles as well), then all the Bears get for their trouble is a playoff game against a team that won 3 straight to finish the season, with 2 of those wins against tough opponents. They'd be fools to want that.

I guess that they're fools.

Maybe Sudfeld will make them look like geniuses, though.

Ravens!

Spoiler:

They always want to do it the hard way.

ANSWER: This happens when you don't invest in a kicker that can make 56 yard field goals.

QUESTION: What is: what just happened to Cleveland?

Go Texans!

Cards need offense waaaaaay more than D.

Lamar in the playoffs!

You're right of course, and having Chandler Jones means edge rusher isn't even their biggest defensive need, but hard to see who else could arguably be #1 overall pick value at this point, especially since the Cards won't be reaching for a QB.

But we'll see what the draft process reveals.

Prime trade down spot for the Cards.

I am weirdly excited for tonight's Colts-Titans game.

It might be bc of Gabbert's Fitzmagic Face. Dude either hasn't shaved in a while, or he's sharing his helmet with a weasel.

Yeah, that's also what I'm worried about. Someone jumping over the Niners to take the top edge rusher.

Being one pick away from Nick Bosa after having been one pick away from Myles Garrett would be another kick in the gut.

Travis Kelce broke Rob Gronkowski's record for receiving yards in a season by a TE.

A couple hours later, George Kittle broke Travis Kelce's record.

So can Pittsburgh make the playoffs if Colts/Titans ends in a tie? All three would be 9-6-1.

Yes, Pittsburgh makes the playoffs if Colts/Titans tie, by winning the strength of schedule tiebreaker between the three teams.

Excellent. I tried to RTFM, but gave up.

Now I know how to root tonight.

On closer inspection, I was wrong about which tiebreaker Pittsburgh wins in that three way tie, but the ultimate result is that they still win.

Pittsburgh and Indy eliminate Tennessee from the 3-way tie based on conference record. Pittsburgh then beats Indy on winning percentage against common opponents.

Coaching carousel has started to spin. Fired so far tonight:

* Todd Bowles, NY Jets
* Dirk Koetter, Tampa

Lamar went one blown 4th and 29 from going 6-0 this year. I am looking forward to our breaking sh*t in the playoffs.
