Godell pushing for division games last 2 weeks to teams from resting

An idea I don't mind. Like others have mentioned it sort of already feels that way, the week 17 game against NO is close to becoming a staple, and I'm willing to bet that when the schedule comes out we will be playing them again in week 17. If both teams are still jockeying for wildcard positions, that would be a wild game.

Plus recently we've more or less had the saints number, along with everyone else in the division, for awhile.

Edit- last season, in the final week, 6 of 16 games were divisional games that affected nothing. BUT, 3 of the remaining games had so much playoff implication that the same teams met the following week in the playoffs.

And had the Ravens not won, all 4 would've been rematches.

As for this, I'm sure this may have a little effect, but not be the be-all, end-all deterrent.

      Bryce laughing (from game day thread)

      By Proudiddy · Posted

      Jake, to me, will always hold a special place in my heart.  I really feel like for his era, he deserved way more love than he got, and should’ve had more than his one Pro Bowl.  He was a gamer with an underrated rocket arm. but let me tell you, after his Tommy John surgery, when he came back, I can’t remember who it was against, but it think it was a division game, he threw a ball that was supposed to be a throw away, as I think he was under pressure, and that poo floated forever and died right at the boundary where a defender ran over and picked it off.  One of the worst throws I ever saw.  His arm just wasn’t the same after the injury and surgery.  All that to say, that’s what almost every Bryce throw to the sidelines looks like to me.

      And again, when watching him in college he had one distinct trait that I feel makes a franchise QB - on those plays when everything breaks down around him, he creates one on his own.  He doesn’t rely on or need everyone else.  That play last night on the final drive where he was getting sacked and threw it to Diggs before his knee hit the ground?  He does similar things all the time.  Mahomes, Allen, Lamar, etc., they all do it.  It’s what made Cam so special. but we picked a guy that’s the opposite of that.  He desperately needs someone else to make a play for him because he can’t.  Even that play yesterday on 4th down to Horn.  That wasn’t a great pass.  The defender was late and came down to make a play in the ball and Bryce threw it high and outside where Horn had to leave his feet and really use strong hands to catch it.  We relied on a 5’9” rookie playing in his first pro game to make THAT catch at THAT time bc of the early turnovers and a not great throw.  Crazy.

      This thread is dumb. But I do think canales gets too cute with play calling and I don't think he's a good coach
