Week 17 - Happy New Year, Ya Filthy Animal
- Thread starter Mystic Merlin
- Start date
Pats could theoretically clinch a spot before the game, so that's out.
Has to be either Ten-Jax (win-and-in for both teams) or GB-Det (win-and-in for GB at least, possibly Det too)
Depending on other results, the game could be entirely meaningless. They won’t want that.
Their MO is to put a game with in/out implications with minimal impact on other scenarios in the Sunday night window.
Baltimore/Cincy affects seeding - that’s not enough juice.

I think their performances were pretty similar, especially if you take away Thompson's prevent defense drive in the fourth. He missed some throws that high school QBs make.
This ref is my favorite. He always looks exasperated when announcing calls. Like he has better things to be doing.
Here’s what I don’t get. Tomlin is without a doubt an excellent coach and defensive mind. So when he self scouts, he must see the flaws of his own offense…so, why no correction with a different OC?
It is frustrating to watch the lack of originality to tap the skills they do have and to see how predictable their offense becomes by the second half of a game.
”Look, it’s holding ok? Ten yards, same as last 640 times I called it. Just fucking get on with it.”
I sensed a parent dealing with a kid who ran out of gas in the car*again*.
Sometimes when I see a good play, I still like to wait for Collinsworth to tell me it was a good play before deciding.
Yeah, that is it exactly. “Don’t make me come back there.”
Turned out to be a four point play too. They must have thought he took a swing or something when he just lost his footing.
Kenny P really has that “I got this swagger” for a guy that has this far been less than mediocre. If his skills can catch up to his attitude the Steelers might have something.
Harbaugh was thinking about a deliberate offside on third and short but then said five yards was too much then “just play defense.”
For a guy who wasn't QB1 until the third game of the season and also lost time to two concussions, I feel like he's definitely over-performed.
If Steelers can get in they could beat someone.
Steelers and also the Packers really turned it around and are teams nobody should want to play.
