Week 17 Game Thread - Who's Gonna Be in and Out?

[DanoooME]

Let's finish this thing and move on to the playoffs!

 

[DanoooME]

Big Ben, LeVeon, Antonio all inactive for the Steelers today, tempting Cleveland to blow getting the #1 pick.

 

[DanoooME]

Carolina picks off Winston on TB 17, goes sack, OPI to get to 2nd and 32. Follow it with a 4 yard run and a short pass.

Edit: And Gano misses the FG

 

[shawnrbu]

TD Romo.

 

[BannedbyNYYFans.com]

TD Romo.

"Hmmmmm....Tony looks real good...."

 

[Flunky]

Mark Sanchez is such a clown.

 

[Gunfighter 09]

Are the Jags playing to get Doug Marrone a job?

 

[Kliq]

Has there been a worse follow-up to an MVP season than Cam Newton? Injuries not withstanding.

 

[mostman]

Rough.

 

[singaporesoxfan]

Mark Sanchez is such a clown.

He's helping the Zeke/Dak case for MVP by showing that not any clown could win behind that O line.

 

[P'tucket rhymes with...]

[Gunfighter 09]

I would be so angry as a Bills fan with Tyrod sitting on the bench while the offense does less than nothing.

 

[Spelunker]

Whoops, wrong thread.

 

[jsinger121]

Business decision

 

[Kliq]

Bradford out in Minnesota, finishes season with 71.6 percent completion percentage, best in NFL history for whatever that is worth. He beat the record by Drew Brees in 2011 so can we as a society just still acknowledge Brees as the record holder?

 

[luckiestman]

Bills just made the Jetsiest play ever

 

[Kliq]

Yeah that is an all-time folly.

 

[luckiestman]

Bills don't catch a kickoff and jets pick it up in end zone for a TD lol

 

[DanoooME]

Jets kick off, ball lands on about the 15, rolls into the end zone, Gillislee stands over it and watches the Jets cover it for a TD.

Rextown lives.

Best part of this is that the first Jets player down there appeared to pause before realizing the ball was live.

 

[shawnrbu]

With the Eagles victory over the Cowboys, the Bucs have been eliminated from playoff contention.

 

[Erik Hanson's Hook]

Pittsburgh going to OT at home against Cleveland.

Are we sure we should be afraid of them?

 

[Hendu for Kutch]

If you're the Steelers, with the ball on your own 2 yard line and staring at an overtime that can only be bad for you, why wouldn't you just take a safety and end the game?

 

[Ralphwiggum]

Rapist, Bell and Brown all sitting I think.

 

[Greg29fan]

Mark Sanchez is still really horrible.

 

[Kliq]

Indy just had an incredible team reaction to beating Jacksonville in Week 17 to finish a failed season.

Also Cam and the Panthers have been so bad this season.

 

[DanoooME]

Riverboat Ron going for the win!

 

[bankshot1]

So do i have this right?

The Steelers are playing OT in the last regular season game, indifferent to a W or L, as neither will effect the seeding, but risking injury, while The Browns may lose the #1 pick with a win?

 

[Hendu for Kutch]

Rapist, Bell and Brown all sitting I think.

Ya, imagine how the Patriots would do without Brady, Gronk, and Lewis.

Oh ya, they did that and went 3-0 against 2 playoff teams.

Yes

 

[bankshot1]

and that's why I don't bet this week.

 

[Old Fart Tree]

I was thinking that too.

I'm not saying the Pats should or shouldn't be afraid of PIttsburgh. Personally I'm not afraid of any team, the Pats should beat all comers in the AFC at home in the playoffs.

But playing a meaningless week 17 game without your three best players isn't really an indicator of anything.

Matt Cassell was not available.


Edit: that was supposed to be a reply to why didn't Pittsburgh take a safety.

 

[luckiestman]

Still can't believe this play happened in a Jets game and we weren't the ones who did it

 

[Ale Xander]

Omg
Please look at it
He grabbed mine
Oh my goodness

 

[Erik Hanson's Hook]

Tomlin's cheerleading skills about to be severely tested

 

[alydar]

Omg
Please look at it
He grabbed mine
Oh my goodness

I believe the proper quote is "my goodness gracious" which is hilarious

 

[shawnrbu]

Terrible call.

 

[Kliq]

Some great live mic work there.

 

[PedroKsBambino]

That facemask call in Pitt-Cle game is really awful.

 

[Ale Xander]

What can Browns do for you

Lose 14 on 2nd and goal at the 2

 

[Al Zarilla]

Is this the first possession in the OT?

 

[shawnrbu]

The Browns just threw a pass that lost 14 yards on 2nd and Goal from the 2.

 

[patinorange]

And the Browns will mess up the gift call.

 

[Old Fart Tree]

That was so Brownsian.

 

[DeadlySplitter]

Only the Browns

 

[DanoooME]

That facemask call in Pitt-Cle game is really awful.

Should have been offsetting.

Now Cle runs a bubble screen from the 2 and lose 14

 

[Leather]

Omg
Please look at it
He grabbed mine
Oh my goodness

"AAAGGH AAAAAGGH!"
