Another Primetime game... fug

True, but which game would you expect to have more national interest? A game between a 6-8-1 v 6-9, or 11-4 v 11-4 for a the NFC North title and a 1st round bye?

I'd put my money on the Detroit game.

DET is gonna get destroyed at Lambeau.

Cam Newton & Julio Jones will be more entertaining.

Detroit & Green Bay are both in the playoffs, our game is an actual elimination game.

I'm pretty sure that it's going to be the SNF game. Our game, for all purposes, is a playoff game. Winner moves on, the loser is eliminated. That's huge, compared to two teams just battling for a 2 seed, even if the Packers are one of those teams.

At the very least, we'll be bumped into the 4:25 slot with Troy Aikman/Joe Buck.

Isn't the deadline to flex games for Week 17 passed?

 

I just want to see a good showing of Carolina fans at the game... it's close enough, tickets should be relatively plentiful/available....

 

Bah.

 

  • Week 17 start time changes could be decided on 6 days notice to ensure a game with playoff implications.

    • Saints trade WR Shaheed to Seahawks Seahawks get: WR Rashid Shaheed Saints get: 2026 fourth-round pick, 2026 fifth-round pick Seahawks' grade: A- Saints' grade: B+ One of the NFL's hottest passing teams just got better. The Seahawks currently rank third in EPA per dropback (0.25) and first in success rate on dropbacks (53%). And now they are adding Shaheed in a move that makes sense both on the field and in terms of where the Seahawks are as a franchise. Shaheed, 27, is averaging 1.8 yards per route run this season. But I think that sells him short because that number is down a bit from his career average entering this year (2.0) and he's been playing a role that includes running fewer vertical routes (34%) compared to last year (44%). Shaheed also has consistently posted above-average open scores in ESPN's receiver score metrics, including a 63 this season that ranks 28th among wide receivers. As a complement to Jaxon Smith-Njigba, I expect Shaheed will run downfield more often and be a bigger threat in that role than rookie Tory Horton was. When Cooper Kupp returns, he and Shaheed will make for a nice pair of secondary threats behind one of the best receivers in the league in Smith-Njigba. This is the time to strike for the Seahawks. FPI gives Seattle an 84% chance to make the playoffs and a 5% shot at winning the Super Bowl. This addition helps boost their chances without mortgaging their future the way the Colts did in the Sauce Gardner trade. Shaheed is a pending free agent but given the leverage of the moment for the Seahawks and their need I think they ought to be plenty willing to pay the cost. Shaheed is young enough to where if Seattle doesn't retain him he should sign a free agent contract that would yield Seattle a compensatory pick -- if the Seahawks don't nullify that pick with signings of their own. Because the Seahawks currently have $79 million in cap space next year, per OverTheCap, getting that compensatory pick is not guaranteed. The Saints are not rolling in cap space the way the Seahawks are -- and thus would land a compensatory pick for Shaheed -- but they got more draft capital this way than they otherwise would have. Considering New Orleans' 1-8 record, this should have been an easy decision.
