NFL Discussion: Contenders and pretenders

[CrimsonFan]

NFC playoff picture already coming together

Seems obvious the NFC north will have 2 wild cards with the Lions, Packers, and Vikings.

Commanders with 8 wins seem like they're for sure gonna win atleast 1 or 2 more games and be the third wild card. That's alot of wins for wild card teams.

Nfc west is most interesting, with the rams/cardinals/seahawks all playing for the division. Seattle a few games ahead will likely win it.

And then it comes down to Falcons/Bucs for the south. It's a bad year to be a 9 or 10 win team in the nfc. Wild cards looking like they're all gonna have 11+ wins

nvm

 

[SammyPops]

Everyone be like Jonathan.

I’m not sure why Denver is such a big favorite honestly. Famous Jameis has that team playing way past their potential with his nonsensical pregame speeches.

A game team now that the Rapeson has been put down.

Bears should try and get Roquan

 

[Berserker13]

Lions are going to be using prax squad players after this brutal stretch to end the season

 

[Rozko]

Bears should try and get Roquan

Would like to see the Cards have a playoff gae

I just looked at their schedule. It looks good, they need to beat Seattle on Sunday and then they have a much easier final stretch than Seattle does.

Ravens traded for him just to ride the pine. lmao

I think they will be okay in the first round of the playoffs. The thing that bothers me and has bothered me for years is I hate how the playoffs work in the NFL. The best team in the NFC South is 6-6 right now and will get a home playoff game. I'm okay with the top team getting the bye but the other best records should get the home game, not the division winner because said team is in a crap division.

Totally agree. I'm a Vikings fans and right now we'd be the 5 seed. I mean....9-2 with a 5 seed...come on! I still like the idea of keeping divisions b/c of the rivalries and all that, I don't want 2 conferences like NBA for example. But I do like NBA seeding where it's just West and the East, top 10.

It's some of the reason (not the only reason of course) why Pats did so good for so long. They treat the first 4 games as experiments and preseason b/c they could easily win their division every year and get a home field and usually a bye. I believe with 6 seed playoffs top 2 got a bye. In the NFL obviously 2 games to get to SB is vastly easier than 3 games to get there when you are in a 1 and done scenario.

You are somewhat right about the Pats but there's nothing they could do about the Dolphins and Jets sucking for ages, and the Bills being good just within the past few years, but I'd even go one further. I don't think people will like it but I would say if said team cannot make it to the playoffs 5 years straight or longer I would be open to not allowing them to have a first round draft pick until they can get to the playoffs. The teams that this would apply to currently are the Jets, Broncos, Panthers and the Falcons.

Never know which JaJameis youre getting. 400 yards and 3 tuddies or 150 yards and 5 picks.

Broncos need to put 3 people on Garrett every snap tho. He will curb stomp McGlinchey

 

[FyrFytr998]

Lol @ stationary.

Sub 200lbs CB put the hit stick (with an absolutely textbook tackle) on the biggest, hardest to tackle RB that outweighs him by 50lbs.

It was awesome

lol @ you thinking lil bro is gonna do the same tackle to a Derrick Henry running at him at full speed. He’s getting mushed and planted.

It was a good hit, but perspective people.

 

[jrams]

Ahh yes, the Jaguars overreaction was the real issue.
