Week 18 game thread?

Brady gets the 2. Avoids the Saints and probably avoids the Rams in Round 2.
Bucs are 1-6 against the Saints and Rams last two seasons. 27-3 against the rest of the NFL.

That INT was really close to being out of bounds, a lot closer than they made it seem. His right foot was clearly in. His left foot came down in bounds, too, but after his butt and left hand hit the ground simultaneously. The left fingers were right on the line but just in. What a play.
I think they could win in L.A. I think that was better than having to go back to Dallas.
I have a strong dislike for McVay. He fired his equipment manager right after the super bowl. He had been with Rams for almost 30 years. (A buddy of mine, so I am jaded) inside info : he’s a douche.
This is about the best possible set of playoff matchups we could have had, IMO. No horrible QBs (Ben, Jimmy G and Hurts probably being jointly the worst) - e.g., no Taysom/Simien, no Wentz. No Week 18 rematches in Week 19. Really like Rams vs. Cardinals and Cowboys vs. Niners in the NFC, and Pats vs. Bengals and Bills vs. Chargers/Raiders in the AFC. The 2-7 matchups aren't bad, but they're never likely to be great...and they both maybe have a puncher's chance of winning, more on the dodgy form of their opponents than their own strengths.
To be fair, that loss to the Saints this year at home (I think 9-0) was an awful game. The Saints defense got away with 2003-2004 Pats vs Colts muggings. Also, Brady lost almost his entire offense. I would like to believe if they meet again in Tampa Bay and the refs don't interfere that Brady will win.
For a second there I thought you were implying that NO made the playoffs, which they did not. Needed SF to lose.
Could there be one person in the universe who would want him to coach the Giants next year? He’s incompetent and bat shit crazy.
DAL@TB could be an epic divisional round matchup if they both win in the wildcard round.
Yeah I was screaming at the tv for her to shut up. Was that the lighting of the flame or whatever with Madden's family that they completely missed?
I don't know about charmed. Tighter grip on the ball could have been a TD. But not as bad as it could have been.
Again (Al), Watt did it in one fewer game and without the aid of a QB taking a dive to hand him a sack. Records and comparisons of players in different generations are kind of silly to begin with, but let’s not pretend that Strahan’s 22.5 sacks doesn’t deserve its own asterisk.
You don't say...
Can't recall another coach doing something like that. Dude just wanted to get on TV.
DeeBo Samuel after the game: “I feel like the Rams pump noise because there wasn’t that many Rams fans there.”
