HedleyLamarr Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 How 'bout them Cowboys!At least we're all not going to be subjected to a 5th consecutive Cowboys blowoff in Week 17 on NBC.At least I hope we're not...Falcons @ Panthers!!! Make it happen, only kidding. Pitt-Cincy would be the better choiceCBS will surely protect that game from the flex scheduling.CBS and Fox aren't able to protect any games in Week 17. NBC gets to pick whichever game they want, and usually they go for the "win and you're in" game. Pretty much one of these three games will be picked up by NBC, with the most likely listed first: Cincinnati-Pittsburgh, Carolina-Atlanta, San Diego-Kansas City.

HedleyLamarr Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 By the way, as we currently stand....the top 4 seeds of the NFC are currently Arizona, Detroit, Dallas, and Carolina. The two strongest teams (at least, to public perception) would be #5 Seattle and #6 Green Bay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coast2CoastAM2006 Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 You guys really are a sweet bunch. What a lovely community we have here at CCSLC. Where a person who is a fan of a team, (a team by the way who was predicted to be terrible by ALL, ends up not being terrible and actually kind of good) posts a comment about said team doing something good and immediately has people trying to put down that person. For record, it doesn't bother me when it's directed at me, but it irks me when done to others.I'll be honest here, they exceeded any ounce of expectations I had for them. I figured with the defense being as it was, 7-9 or 8-8 was where they were headed. Did not expect to be 1 or 2 games from wrapping up the division and setting up a potential playoff run. Win or lose the next few weeks, this has been a fun season to watch. Spoilers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could also see Bills-Patriots in Week 17. The Bills play the Raiders next week, so they had better win there. That game against the Patriots could be really important. Plus, NBC would probably rather have anything with Patriots before they flex an NFC South game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if they beat the Raiders, the Bills could already be eliminated. There's what, 4 teams ahead of them for the wild card? It's most definitely going to be Lions-Packers. Both SHOULD be 11-4 going in, with Lions holding the TB, so it's for all the marbles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raysfan12 Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 Well, the Colts didn't play too well this week but hey, they won the AFC South for the second straight year. Also, I still can't believe the Texans have never won against the Colts in Indy. Finally, Elvis Dumervil needs 6 more sacks (17 right now) to break the NFL record (22.5 sacks by Strahan).

dfwabel Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 Whoever wins this game is likely looking at a first round exit.I haven't seen Detroit at all this year but neither of these teams is beating them or Seattle in a few weeks.Stafford's record against teams with winning records is bad and on the road, he is (0-16).

That's a deceiving stat. You basically are depending on those teams beating other teams. It's not the Lions fault those teams don't get to 9 wins.

The relevant part is that Stafford does not do well against teams that are good.

Unocal Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 The Bears have NEVER been the same since Weke 17 last year. I honestly believe if they stop Green Bay on either of those 4th downs last year, winning the NFC North and getting into the playoffs would have been a big step forward instead of the massive steps back they've taken this season. Green Bay essentially ripped their hearts out last December and it may take them a long time to recover after they took what I feel were positive steps through the first 15 games last year. (Or if Gould makes that FG in the Metrodome last November...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unocal Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 What a difference a year makes. Last December, on MNF, Chicago played a near-perfect flawless game on offense- they never punted. Tonight was the complete antithesis. Through the first 14 games last year, I really thought Trestman was looking like a good fit and that he was merely being betrayed by Mel Tucker's incompetent defense. Boy, oh, boy was I dead wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CS85 Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Fumbles, turnovers, penalties, ineptitude, fog, Cutlerface.jpeg, Trestman's pallid concrete gaze, booing from home fans, 10,000 no-shows, a loquacious general manager with funny ears and cowboy boots, Senorise Perry special teams flags, Gruden frothing with hatred, and ultimately a soulless team waiting impatiently for an opportunity to die.

Unocal Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 The Bears have NEVER recovered from losing the division last year. That was a chance to take a step forward. 3 4th down chances. Kuhn's block on preventing what would have been a Peppers sack. The TD to Cobb. They would NEVER be in this sad predicament they are today if they win that last game.
