"As a fan you have to feel good about moving forward, from just a player performance view. Mills looks like he has grown, defense was solid, Nico Collins could be a break out star next year. With picks and some off season additions the fan base can start finally get excited again"

 

At least the Texans fans have hope.  The Panthers just have soul-crushing incompetence.  

That team escaped the torments of Bill O'Brian and came out on the other side with a lot to look forward to. We, on the other hand, are looking to bring B.O.B into the mix. Doesn't feel great.

A win or tie gets the 49ers in the playoffs. Could make for some interesting decision making by San Fran. Let's say they have the ball on the Rams 40 yard line with 90 seconds left and it's 4th and 3. Analytics would say go for it if you want to win. But if all you need is a tie, then a punt might make more sense. Similarly, let's say it's 4th and short in the redzone on their 1st drive. Seems more likely you go for the fg cause if you don't convert, the Rams just need to drive for a fg to win. Would be interesting to see if something like either of those scenarios comes up.

Forty whiners held the ball for the first 7.5 minutes of ot, but only got a fg.  Stafford could earn his pay/trade on this drive.

If Tampa gets that #2 seed and an extra week to heal, I’m penciling them in the Super Bowl right now. I don’t care how awesome Rogers has been. 

[Davidson Deac II]

What a stupid throw.  That looked like a Sam Darnold special.  Plenty of time, but threw a ball that should never have been thrown.

 

Saints spend the playoffs just like us, at home watching.  

[Chad_Cota]

No playoffs for the Saints, turned my day around. 

[Mother Grabber]

dolphins with an amazing turn around this season. good on them 

[Harbingers]

San Fran with the win. That means saints really should have lost last week. 

[outlaw4]

Well... that's a bad sign for the Rams is they are hoping Stafford is going to carry them through the playoffs.

Only way they get a Cinderella story is if the NFL carries him to it like they did for Peyton. I don't see it happening, I think the NFL goes all in on getting the Patriots and Bucs, no matter how much fudgery it takes.

Funny thing I was saying this a few weeks back. It makes the most sense of all if there were such thing as a conspiracy lead process for determining winners for the Super Bowl.

Too bad for the Saints lol. Almost

Congrats to Sean McDermott. First back to back Buffalo division champs since the 90-91 seasons. Grateful we kept Panthers legend Ron Rivera and now have a new legend to build in Matt Rhule. Very grateful

... and they traded with the Panthers to go get Nico Collins. Showed some potential.

Not sure if this has been brought up already, but I just saw Mac Jones' pitiful attempt at tackling the DB that intercepted him, and man that was a zero effort play.

Let's go tie come on
