The Panthers can lose and still be the 2nd NFC seed.

yeah, it's a stretch to think that Atlanta will lose to St. Louis with a chance to win the division. Smith is going to have those guys as ready to play as he has all year...that team is playing hungry.

Our odds are good against the Saints, although Pierre-Thomas and their running game of late gives me some concern. If they run the ball effectively at all against us, it could open up more passing opportunities for Brees.

What's worse than losing a first round bye is losing the division to the Falcons. Can you imagine how much the Falcons story will be shoved down our throats for the next two weeks if that happens? Painful!

I see the Rams upsetting the Falcons too. Everyone has that one penciled in for the Tweety Birds, but I think they slip up and lose settling for a 10-6 year.

I hope you're right. But you can't tell me that if you had to bet your life on it, you'd pick the Rams. Seriously.

Thats not a bad point, but you've never heard Fox playing the underdog card in that way, at least not from my recollection..

Aside from the chip, losing would most likely mean we get AZ in the first round (which would be an awesome matchup for us!) followed by a return trip to the Meadowlands (lets see them beat us twice in 3 weeks...not likely).

Winning would mean we would likely see MN after our bye week, and they have already smacked us around this year.

I guess the bottom line is, either way, we still should be really pumped about our chances in the playoffs, which ever path we have to take.

Why are we ignoring it? I think the economy has a better chance of correcting itself by tomorrow than the Rams do of winning that game lol.

lol, pretty much.

We don't need to be relying on the Rams for our division title. Just beat the Saints into the ground.

I honestly don't believe that the Rams will beat the Falcons BUT......

The only 2 wins the Rams have, are against winning teams and teams still in the playoff hunt (not sure about the Skins still being in the hunt though)

But they beat The Redskins IN Washington (19-17) then the following week beat Dallas in St. Louis 34-14....

so to say it just can't happen is wrong but is it likely to happen? not really

    • These are the three deep throw attempts that Will Levis made in week 12. His first one is a beauty; Levis and Westbrook-Ikhine gets the safety to bite on a deep dig only to go over the top for the score. His second throw is another beauty: a crosser to Calvin Ridley reminiscent of Bryce to XL (though Ridley has noticeably more separation on his route). His third and final deep shot was an incompletion from his own endzone on 3rd & 14 with pressure coming down on him (to me, this seems like a solid throw).   Film Room Playlist NFL Pro-02.mp4 Film Room Playlist NFL Pro-01.mp4 Film Room Playlist NFL Pro.mp4 Film Room Playlist NFL Pro-01.mp4 Levis took half of the deep shots that Young did. The differences are: Ridley had much better separation than XL, which is why his deep crosser turned into a 63yd play since he was able to scamper for another 15+ after the catch. Westbrook-Ikhine holds on to his TD pass. Bryce had to throw one away to preserve time for a field goal. Bryce had two more throws that were incomplete due to the WR Are we really holding the three WR errors and clock management decision against Bryce in order to say that Will was better throwing deep in week 12? That's not passing the eye test nor is it confirmed by the data.
    • If you go on the PUP list before the season starts, you are gone for the year. If you start the year on the PUP list then you can get off of it. Kind of semantics, but we are putting him on the PUP list now which is before week 1, that’s why people who come off of it aren’t really on the PUP list until week 1, hence you usually hear right before the season that they are “starting the year” on the PUP list. I think PUP list and IR may basically be the serve the same purpose now because you also sometimes hear that if a player is added to the IR before week 1 that they aren’t eligible to come off the IR list for the entire year. Now, everyone added to IR (post week 1) can come off after 4 (or more) games so the PUP list is meaningless since it’s 6 games and starts at week 1. Anyone added to PUP or IR in the preseason is gone for the year.
    • I saw Brooks maybe a few weeks ago, he was walking pretty normally. of course he wasnt running, jumping and cutting.
