Crazy rankings except Phili .... I don't think the Lions are a 7th seed, and I certainly dont think the Niners are #2 (with a rookie QB).....I put the Niners at 4 behind Phili, KC, Buff. Detroit has a shit defense so they probably should be in the 10-15 ....
Quoted from mof:So they might get Lamar back this week.
I would guess they are in WC 100% with one more win at 10-7, so it's not like there's big pressure.
Win Atl (without Lamar) or Pit (with Lamar) and don't sweat Cin.
Feels like a done deal.
yeah but this isn't a team whose goal is 'just make the playoffs' -- This team should have been in an arc to be a SB contender. The current roster has a lot of pieces that are not going to be sticking around or players that will be beyond their peak. This year really was the best alignment for a shot at going deep.
And the dismal offense and regression of lamar to not throw down the field combined with some injuries has basically made people hope for one Playoff win as the 'happy outcome' for the season.
This truly is opportunity lost and there doesn't appear to be any 'playing better at the right time'. Instead they look more and more like the implosion of last season where they lost 5 of 6 when lamar was out.
Quoted from mof:Watkins to RAVENS
I think he's regarded as a good run blocker so he may help out there
Anyone here watch Good Morning Football? If so, what's the deal with the pinball machine on set? IIRC it has a Bears helmet on the back glass?? I'm assuming it's just a mocked up or wrapped machine to display on the set and not a produced machine??

Production Stern's NFL machine. I used to watch every morning; when I HAD to get up mornings.
Kay & Kyle are both from Chicagoland
Yeah that show rules.
It’s a stern NFL with a bears translite.
And I suppose it has battery damage on the board as its lights are on but it longer boots up.
Trying to remember whether "Unnecessary Exploration" is a 5, 10 or 15 -- and (an automatic first down)?
Quoted from mof:I forget if "Unnecessary Exploration" is a 5, 10 or 15 -- and I assume -- replay the down?
"Unnecessary Penetration"
"Heiny Collar"
"Roughing the Passage"
Quoted from RWH:in the grassp
yep.
It's Tuesday all right.
“The Referee must blow the play dead as soon as the passer is clearly 'in the grassp' and in control of any tackler behind the line, AND the 'passer’s safety' is in jeopardy.”
Is the passer's safety in jeopardy for an unnecessary exploration? Perhaps it depends on whether the defender's nails are well groomed? Shrug.
Quoted from mof:Watkins to RAVENS
Bigger point is why... because they just put their #2 receiver on IR too. ugh.
On the bright side.. they never used them anyway!
Quoted from PtownPin:Detroit has a shit defense
Sigh, gonna go out on a limb here and guess you probably haven't followed the Lions very closely.
Defense first 7 weeks 29.6 points per game so 1-6 record
Defense last 7 weeks 19.6 points per game so 6-1 record
Really the only difference was firing defensive back coach Aubrey Pleasant after week 7 and having DC Aaron Glenn take a more hands on role
I read somewhere(Pride of Detroit) the Lions D have the 7th ranked defense over the 2nd half of the season - so there is that

Takeaways are helping the Lions, 11 in six games, a 1.84 average that would tie for 1st
Quoted from tomdrum:Takeaways are helping the Lions, 11 in six games, a 1.84 average that would tie for 1st
Turnover differential the most important determinate for a winning team
Eagles, Cowboys, Ravens, 49ers, Bengals, LIONS at the top of the list
Saints, Colts, Chiefs, Buccaneers, Rams, Texans are at the bottom
Quoted from Erik:I think he's regarded as a good run blocker so he may help out there
My doctor says I'm the most regarded person he's ever seen

You would be correct ! My comments were based on the 2-3 games I've watched them this season. In those games the defense was terrible. Makes sense that the D has gotten better....that being said I think 7th is a stretch
Quoted from TheLaw:crazy
He all but guaranteed a Steeler win with that move -- just like Obi Wan did during their duel.
RIP Seahawks legend Franco Harris!
I met him at a union meeting once (he was active in the NFLPA and players' rights movement) and he was a lovely guy.
Looking forward to the Niner / Washington game Saturday....should be perfect weather (mid 60's)....Washington will be tough to beat
Quoted from DanMarino:Looking forward to seeing Aaron with his talents in Miami on Christmas Day! Dolphins season going down the toilet without a win on Christmas.
Last time we got a fake spike and last second TD! Hoping for a good one.
Quoted from mof:It's quiet. Too quiet...
Losing to the 49ers, Chargers, and Bills 3 weeks in a row will do that to you.
Quoted from mof:It's quiet. Too quiet...
We may find the longer season results in increased apathy since the contenders have already been identified.

Quoted from Jaybird815:With Hurts out this weekend, does that eliminate him from MVP consideration?
he can still finish 2nd .. i think you have to give it to mahones
(And yes, also because Hurts is an an eagle!)
Quoted from nwpinball:Does MVP selection include the playoffs or just the regular season?
All of those awards are pre playoff.
Quoted from Jaybird815:With Hurts out this weekend, does that eliminate him from MVP consideration?
No, Hurts hands down.
I guess I'll be rooting for the jags since I have 3 of their players on my fantasy team. They are off to a rough start though
Good grief another lame marketing dept. tinkering with black helmets... never been thought of before...
Looks like a bad re-theme. Black rustoleum then put a sticker on it. Retheme.
It never occurred to me just how bad the modern JFTS era logo is -- it looks like JFTS or JFIS -- with the football obfuscating the letters. So horrible.
I'd stick with the JETS logo with the concorde Jet zooming across the top from (78-89). I don't need to see "NY", I don't need to see a "football" on a football helmet. Holy Hell.
