TNF - Redskins @ Vikings - Vikes, makes sure the Redskins don't have a late season surge

--------------------------------

1:00 - Eagles @ Packers - Eagles, knocks the Packers down and makes NFCE waters muddier

1:00 - Jags @ Titans - push

1:00 - Bills @ Steelers - Bills, makes our SOS look better

1:00 - Raiders @ Giants - Giants**, they are eliminated but gives them hope to be spoiler for rest of NFC

1:00 - Rams @ Colts - Colts, AFC over NFC

1:00 - Seahawks @ Falcons - Falcons, help knock Seattle back down to earth

1:00 - Bengals @ Ravens - push

1:00 - Lions @ Bears - Bears, we own tiebreaker over Bears, but not Lions

4:05 - Panthers @ 49ers - Panthers, obviously

4:25 - Texans @ Cardinals - Texans, to keep Cardinals a game behind in wild card race

4:25 - Broncos @ Chargers - push

SNF - Cowboys @ Saints - Cowboys, obviously.. could potentially put us in 1st place in NFCS

--------------------------------

MNF - Dolphins @ Bucs - Bucs**, smash hopes of playoff football when we play them in a few weeks

 

 

**I know I should probably root for Raiders over Giants and Phins over Bucs (AFC over NFC) but since they are so out of it I don't see the harm into them playing hard and winning a game- especially the Bucs over Phins

I'd say the Lions. With Rodgers out of commission, we want the Lions to run away with division, let the Pack fall off. Previously, The packers and Lions were playoff locks. If only 1 team from the North gets a playoff spot, it frees up another wildcard. The bears will be middling anyway, so they aren't a playoff threat one way or another.

 

Same with the Seahawks. Want them to win and put the division title out of reach, so the Niners aren't playing to catch up to Seattle, but just enough to grab a wildcard. If we lose to them Sunday, we need to have a better record than the 49ers since they will have a tie-breaker. So the last thing we need is them playing like they have a chance to win the West.

IDK about the Bears not being a threat. Forte is playing good football and Cutler claims he is playing this week.

 

We just need that whole division to go 9-7.

I just want to win at San Francisco.

I am also pulling hard for the Cowboys. I am also pulling somewhat hard for the Eagles, Bears and Falcons. Far down on my games of interest board, I'm also pulling for the Titans and Rams. I want the Jaguars to experience the shame of 0-16, get the first pick over the Bucs, and keep the Titans faint hopes alive in the AFC South. I also think a Rams win, though unlikely, helps our SOS and would finally be an UN-luck(y) day for that Luck(y) team. Agree with the rest.

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By strato · Posted

      Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.

      No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
