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.

    • So answer the question. Why did Chark and Hurst have the same metrics (go look them up, I did... and one was actually worse in LA) with Justin Herbert? Why did Mingo have the same metrics with Dak? You're right, there is a common denominator, just not the one you're trying to make.  Why could DJ Moore get open with Bridgewater, Allen, Cam 2.0, Darnold, Baker, Williams, Bagent? I'll answer the question for you - because he is a good WR unlike Chark/Hurst/Mingo. 
    • I mean I just don't understand the argument. Baker and Sam both have been pro bowl QBs post their time here. And you just said yourself that is due to him having a damn good roster around him and they are well coached. You're even saying the bad baker is still there somewhere, but he is in a good organization with good roster and coaching that they are getting the best out of him. Why does Baker and Sam get all that benefit of the doubt but when it comes to Bryce it must be a BY9 problem, not an org or team problem?  Hell I got a guy below you arguing with me that Chark/Hurst/Mingo sucked because Bryce wouldn't throw them open. It's ridiculous how far the stretch goes. 
    • Correct.  It’s really hard to get open in the NFL when opposing defenses gameplan and cheat coverage/routes on all your players because they know your QB can’t make certain throws/plays.   magically no one that comes to Carolina can get open or make plays with the ball in their hands…..it’s like there is one singular common dominator to it all.  BY makes playing defense way too easy.   NFL players are too good to allow one side to cheat coverage and not respect all the potential threats of a route  so you can dial up a great play.  But if corners and safeties just cheat coverage and know X and Y happening on route/threats….getting open gets hard when they just play it one way.  Getting open has a lot to do with the different threats a WR can pose on a given play.
