NFL Week 16

[jersey cubs fan]

i guess when your point differential is like 30 points this year, a 5 point home win would qualify as embarrassing your opponent.

 

I'll chalk that up to Australia not having a good feed of the game, but the 5 point differential hardly told the story.

 

All of Philly is laboring under the delusion that that game was actually close.

 

Not from what I have noticed. I know a lot of Philly fans and virtually all of them shut their pie holes and realized the Bears whooped them.

Apparently Peter King has no idea how the NFC playoff picture will work next week if New Orleans loses tonight.

 

So, here are the scenarios IF Atlanta beats New Orleans tonight:

 

1 ) NO over TB, GB over CHI - New Orleans 5, Green Bay 6, NYG result meaningless

2 ) NO over TB, CHI over GB, WAS over NYG - New Orleans 5, Green Bay 6 on Strength of Victory

3 ) NO over TB, CHI over GB, NYG over WAS - New Orleans 5, NY Giants 6

4 ) TB over NO, GB over CHI, NYG over WAS - Green Bay 5, NY Giants 6 (TB common games over NO, GB wins SOV over NYG/TB, NYG wins common games over TB)

5 ) TB over NO, GB over CHI, WAS over NYG - Green Bay 5, Tampa Bay 6 (TB common games over NO, GB SOV over TB)

6 ) TB over NO, CHI over GB, NYG over WAS - NY Giants 5, Tampa Bay 6 (TB common games over NO, NYG common games over TB)

7 ) TB over NO, CHI over GB, WAS over NYG - Tampa Bay 5, New Orleans 6 (TB common games over NO)

Rams-Seahawks is the Sunday night game next week. We are the NFL's charity case of the year!

 

It's the only game that is meaningful regardless of other games that are played earlier in the day.

 

I know that, but given how terrible St. Louis and Seattle are, I figured NBC would find Chicago-Green Bay more enticing. I'm almost positive STL-Seattle tanks in the ratings.

If the Chicago-Green Bay game features a Flynn-Collins QB matchup, it might actually be a worse game than STL-Seattle.

I bet it doesn't. January 2nd, people still recovering from New Years and everybody loves the NFL. It's the only game in town, and it is meaningful. The fact that so many people are talking about potential sub .500 teams making the playoffs only adds to intrigue. I bet it does just fine.

I was away from the tv/computer almost all of yesterday, were people criticizing the postponement of the Eagles game? From all of the pictures that I keep seeing it looks like an average December day in the midwest/northeast. Roads were perfectly clear and remain that way. One of the Vikings beat writers said they've gotten 4 inches and had a little wind, that's it. Edited December 27, 2010 by hawkeyecub

Not nearly enough.

 

It was terrible in northern NJ, but Philly panicked unnecessarily.

[erik316wttn]

I don't care how it plays out. I just want the Bears in the playoffs, and embarrass them at home.

Yeah, it was funny to read Peter King talk about the storm in NYC being the same thing that hit Philly, when there was such a large discrepency. The roads in northern NJ are a joke. We've got 3 foot drifts everywhere, and stalled cars left and right. An ambulance was being shovelled out as I walked to train this morning. But Philly didn't get hit nearly as hard.

 

This had huge fantasy ramifications as well, as anybody who had Vick going was facing a night with weather to a night with nothing.

Then obviously you do care how it plays out.

Wasn't it enough that you embarrassed us once at home already?

Sources say the Metropolitan Sports Facilities Commission is assessing the viability of playing the 2011 season outdoors at TCF Bank Stadium at the University of Minnesota, the stadium that hosted the Vikings' game against the Chicago Bears when the Metrodome roof was damaged by heavy snow.

 

The commission will deliver its findings to the Vikings in late January or early February. After reviewing the findings, [owner Zygi] Wilf will make a decision in consultation with the NFL on whether to play the 2011 season at the Metrodome or TCF Bank Stadium, according to team and league sources.

You won on a last-second FG. It's not like you won by 4 TD's. I stand behind everything I said Week 3, so I won't rehash it here. Even with all the penalties and such the Bears still had their hands full all game long.

 

We can beat the Bears in Chicago or Green Bay. Bring them on. Nothing would be sweeter than ending their season on their home field and sending all the Bears fans home crying.

Stop that, reverse it, and now it actually applies to a game that will actually be played!

In Chicago or Green Bay huh? Tought talk considering the Packers already lost in Chicago.

 

Can you beat the Bears anywhere else? How about in Detroit? Or are the Lions the only team you have trouble with there?

At least we can beat the Lions at home without the help of some BS "completing the catch" rule.

[SouthSideRyan]

The Bears are 11-4, so hopefully they rest some guys next week and let us sneak in there."

I'm gonna be crying about that during our first round bye.

Yep, the only time the Packers won a close game this year.

Don't be modest, they had trouble with the Lions in Green Bay as well. They won there because the Lions punted late in the 4th quarter from the GB 37 and never ended up getting the ball back, despite dominating yardage and time of possession, due to penalties and special teams blunders. So, by erik's definition, the Lions embarrassed the Packers in Green Bay.

No, I didn't say we embarrassed the Bears at home. I said we WOULD if we met in the playoffs.

You must not remember that week 3 thread. It may be difficult for you to remember that thread in an ocean of your ridiculous posts in the past few years, but it may be worth another read.
