Week 17 - Happy New Year, Ya Filthy Animal

[luckiestman]

How do you blow that sack?

 

[Mugsy's Jock]

Woo Hoo,

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

What a terrible new year for the Harbaugh family. So sad!

 

[Nator]

Fucking ratbirds.

 

[Obscure Name]

So now we need the Browns to beat Pittsburgh. Great.

 

[katnado]

One job ratbirds.

 

[luckiestman]

Luck of the Irish

 

[Pablo's TB Lover]

Jesus it's like Huntley was intentionally trying to throw INTs on that last drive.

 

[DanoooME]

There wasn't single black jersey in that area, WTF was that throw?

 

[OurF'ingCity]

So now we need the Browns to beat Pittsburgh. Great.

Yeah it was bad enough rooting for the Ravens, now we have to root for Watson?

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Steelers defense absolutely dominated the second half. Ravens got a a couple first downs on the first drive and then they just got completely shut down. Watt kept them in the game. One man wrecking crew.

 

[j-man]

it looks like pitt or mia gets in and if that the case kc wins by 17 plus

 

[Vinho Tinto]

There wasn't single black jersey in that area, WTF was that throw?

That was the old "don't run one way and throw across your body back to the middle" adage. He was moving to his right and tried to hit a trailing Robinson. Since he's not 25 year old Brett Favre, he missed him by a mile.

Nobody said the extra playoff teams were for competitive reasons.

 

[j-man]

ne wouild give kc a game for at least a haif

 

[luckiestman]

ne wouild give kc a game for at least a haif

Until I see otherwise, NE is the good bad team.

 

[DeadlySplitter]

Chiefs Raiders and Titans Jags on Saturday.

If the Chiefs somehow lose, Bills could have nothing to play for.

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

2-6 to 9-8 will be impressive if Tomlin can pull it off.

I hate them but the consistency of the organization is crazy. Their rebuild took 8 weeks.

Jags getting kinda screwed there. 5 days rest vs 8.

 

[mr_smith02]

I hate them but the consistency of the organization is crazy. Their rebuild took 8 weeks.

And they get Chicago's 2nd round pick next year due to the Claypool trade. They can keep rebuilding.

 

[Justthetippett]

Pickett looked good at the end of the game tonight but hasn’t most of the season. Their rebuild into genuine contenders really depends on him. They’d get smoked in the playoffs like the other possible #7 seeds. That said, I agree on consistency and stability generally being a virtue for teams. Same could be said for Seattle, which has also over-performed this year.

Pickett has played much better the last few weeks. In all fairness, (as I mentioned upthread) he didn't come into the season as QB1 and stepped in as a rookie, then had two concussions. I really think he's legit and has been every bit of what to expect from a rookie starting under the conditions he has. And, their OC sucks.

 

[Reverend]

Yeah it was bad enough rooting for the Ravens, now we have to root for Watson?

Maybe he’ll get hurt?

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

I’m pumped for this game. Gonna be good.

 

[cshea]

Pulling for the Bengals.

 

[PayrodsFirstClutchHit]

That looked cheap shot-ish

 

[Dr. Gonzo]

Play looked a little dirty there with the Bengals TE blocking the Bills CB and driving his head into the ground when the Bill was lying flat.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

That escalated quickly.

 

[BaseballJones]

Geez the Bengals just sliced and diced Buffalo's defense. Wouldn't it be nice if the Pats could do that next week?

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Weapons and protection do really make a difference.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Now there's a quarterback.

 

[Mystic Merlin]

Hamlin is an assignment buster like few others, but he can hit. Laron Landry vibes.

 

[GB5]

Does the Bills winning or losing have any impact of whether they will play hard or rest guys next week?

 

[wiffleballhero]

Who I am supposed to be rooting for here?

 

[Al Zarilla]

Team shooting themselves in the foot with these just before the snap timeouts.

 

[E5 Yaz]

You can tell in their voices how excited Joe and Troy are to have a real game

 

[bunchabums]

I hate myself for hoping for a blown knee every time Allen runs.

 

[Tim Naehrings Girl]

Who do we want to win?

 

[Ferm Sheller]

I hate myself for hoping for a blown knee every time Allen runs.

Ugh, we don't need this.

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

First to 50 wins.

 

[cshea]

I’m rooting for Cincy. I like them a lot more and a Bills loss + Chiefs win on Saturday may make the Bills play a little more Conservatively on Sunday.

 

[bunchabums]

Cook hasn't shown much this year but they clearly like him. Some good runs here.

 

[Ferm Sheller]

Does the Bills winning or losing have any impact of whether they will play hard or rest guys next week?

If the Bills lose tonight and KC wins on Saturday then Buffalo won't be playing for the top seed on Sunday. However, I'd like to see the Pats beat the Bills at their best than to see them beat an unmotivated/suboptimal Bills team (or back in with a loss).

 

[Mystic Merlin]

Cook hasn't shown much this year but they clearly like him. Some good runs here.

He runs for almost 6 YPC, and he’s clearly a better pure runner than Singletary if you watch a half of Bills football.

 

[Euclis20]

Does the Bills winning or losing have any impact of whether they will play hard or rest guys next week?

If Buffalo wins tonight and KC loses on Saturday, Buffalo may take it easy because they've got the 1 seed regardless. If they lose and KC wins on Saturday, they may take it easy because the 1 seed will be gone.

So, maybe.

 

[P'tucket rhymes with...]

I hate myself for hoping for a blown knee every time Allen runs.

You probably should.

 

[DJnVa]

Who I am supposed to be rooting for here?

538 moves it from 33% to 35% with Buffalo win and down to 30% with with Cincy.

 

[ernieshore]

I thought Cole Beasley retired.

 

[Vandalman]

Allen injured last series

 

[DJnVa]

That Bengals dude rolled into Allen like he was Mac Jones.
