Damn. Darnold went from Jets and Panthers detritus to the #1 seed

Rams are basically 2 TD favorites, and even if they lose they play Philly, and are arguably the better team.

The most important thing is that Chicago wins their game, which you have to think they likely will against a Detroit team they should be relatively motivated to beat.

Philly are resting guys for the most part too I think, so they could definitely lose themselves.

After an intense loss to San Fran last week, hope the Bears offense doesn’t have a letdown

Dowdle looking exactly like the scrub some of us knew he was.

I can't believe anyone actually thought this guy was "breaking out".

Late to the party on this one, but that Seattle performance last night was probably the single, most impressive and dominant performance in the entire season.

I knew they were a good team, but there was just something there that wouldn't let me consider them as a legitimate Super Bowl contender.

Well, they obliterated that doubt last night and I now have them as the favorite to make it in the NFC.

Oh, and fuck the 49ers!

First of all, fuck the 49ers.

But I've been advocating Seattle much of this season and last night (and their recent rams game a couple weeks ago) made realize that Seattle is probably not a true contender.

It was impressive how they held down that SF offense that has been destroying teams lately.

But Seattle's offense concerns me a lot.

Darnold is too ass for them to win it all. They might make it to the SB because that fluke win against the Rams got them HFA, but I don't think Darnold is good enough to win 3 games in a row unless their defense plays like the 2012 Seahawks or 2015 Broncos.

Or maybe he goes on some random heater like Flacco or Foles, but overall he's not good enough when challenged by better teams.

It's the QB.

Aside from last night, he's had a habit of turning the ball over multiple times in big games.

 

[Chocolate Lab]

I'm still going through last night's game, but even on that very first drive where they got stopped, why and how did he not go to the first TE (or RB, whichever it was) who couldn't have been more wide open in the endzone? It even looked like his first read.

The guy is going to crack like he always does. Just have to hope to keep the ball out of his hands as much as possible and rely on your defense and running game.

I just had beef bacon for the first time in my life.

It was good but my preference is still that good old fashion pork bacon.

Apparently the Dolphins are interested in Troy Aikman for their GM job.

 

[1bigfan13]

I misread it. Looks like they're only reaching out to Aikman as a consultant.

Welcome to two days ago.

Booze still appreciates the news.

Welcome to two days ago.

Sir, you're not helping.

In my defense, unless there's major news, I don't pay attention to the NFL Tuesday - Saturday.

The oversaturation of NFL coverage is exhausting and annoying. So I tune them out for the most part until game day.

Fair enough.

this season can't end fast enough

The Jets don't have a single INT this season.

This makes me want to tune in to some of their game just to see if they can go an entire season without a single interception.
