Lions, Eagles, Bucks

Putrid start for the rams D, Jets went 99yrds

Offence isn’t great outside the run in the first qtr either, all throws at the line or behind and 2 of them tipped and one should have been a pick 6.

38yrd run called back for an illegal shift, TE slightly moved towards the line of scrimmage, so minimal…

 

Then Stafford throws a interception that could have only been to a jets player.

Why did I get up to watch this crud. This is a typical rams things, got the path to the playoffs, go to a club that’s been struggling and play like dog Vomit.

It’s -5degrees in NY right now.

We sto the Jets on their own 34 when they went for it on 4th and 1 and we score the TD. Big momentum change.

6-6 as both teams miss the PAT

8mins left in the second and the panthers have 20pts vs the cards… 😮

Barkly has sliced it up in the first qtr.

Rams had jets players well short of the line to gain and miss tackles, multiple players miss and they keep getting big gains. We had the most missed tackles all year and it’s only getting worse.

Jets converting 3 and 10+ like a hot knife through butter.

Huge strip sack for curl, Verse recovers and a Rodgers injured in the play.

Ball on the Jets 21.

TD HIGBEE!!!

First game back since the play offs last year when he hurt his ACL, MCL and Meniscus. So that surgery and a shoulder ligament surgery. Welcome back Higgs!

Rams turn Jets over with good field position, doing well then a hold and then a taunting call ruins the momentum, FG is good so up by 10, but the biggest problem was not taking more time off the clock. Really dumb by the Rams there.

Jets drop the fair catch, Rams recover and that’s the win folks!

Seahawks lose it right at the end! Cards lose, Niners lose. Great day for the Rams

Only 3 Road winners this week but T_U managed to snag all 3 and in the process, picked up a bonus point.  Well played!

We play for Double Points in the last 2 weeks (17 & 18)

Entering the final straight, just about anyone can win and the scores have really tightened up at the top

Reasonably sure that if the Rams beat Arizona next week, you win the division regardless of the week 18 result against Seattle

That's what the playoff machine told me anyway!

And your match-up in the playoffs would probably be the Packers or Washington

Yeah if we win next week we pretty much win the division. But there is a super unlikely scenario supposedly where we don’t, but I didn’t look into it.

The days of the NFC West as the power house are no longer, none of the teams this year would be happy with their performance!

All eyes are now on NFC North, 3 teams with double digit win tallies already

Agree, but the Niners at full strength would be right up there. 
And funnily enough we now have a healthy oline we haven’t given up a sack in three straight games.

Time to get creative?

Even though Detroit have had a dominant season, they could still slip to the wild-card position and be on the road throughout the playoffs

The week 18 match-up against the Vikes will probably decide things (unless the Lions go a game clear after week 17)

Regardless, the Lions or the Vikings will be on the road in the 1st week of the playoffs against the winner of the NFC South (Atlanta or Tampa Bay) ... or possibly against the winner of the NFC West (Rams or Seattle)

And the Packers might need some help from Atlanta (@ Washington) in order to avoid a trip to Philadelphia in the first week of the playoffs.

Packers destiny is in their own hands though (@ Minnesota then home to the Bears) in order to finish as the 6 seed

Haven't had a close look at the AFC yet but there are probably similar stories in that conference

 

I think Detroit will look back on this season as a what could have been. I can’t see them winning a SB with those injuries on their D. But in saying that neither the Chiefs or Bills have great D, so if they do face either it’s likely a high scoring game.

Seahawks

The colts charge to Miami!

Chargers, Colts, Seahawks

I'd love them to win it but I think it will catch up. The arms of Mahomes and Allen would have a field day.
