Who do we root for this week?

Recommended Posts

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.

    • Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out. 
    • Hiring Shula & his Cam save us playbook.
    • I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
