2015-16 NFC North/NFL thread

[wadesworld]

Someone, please shoot Al Michels. Please.

Yeah. Never got the hate for Buck and Aikman. These 2 are so much worse in my opinion.

That was a Jay Cutler decision right there. But we'll go 3 and out anyways so no harm. 109 total yards half way through quarter 3. My goodness.

Big penalty

[wadesworld]

At least I can get enough sleep tonight.

Just one more week to suffer through this. The end is in sight.

Congrats Queens.

Neither team will win the Super Bowl, let alone another game.

Nope. Your reward for winning the NFC North is welcoming a team that beat you by 30 to your stadium.

Not a huge Vikings fan.

Moreso, root for any team that beats the Bears.  Dikta and McMahon made me anti Bears for life.

Lot of football tonight yet.

I can understand Ditka, but why McMahon? Dude was tough as nails and now, unfortunately suffers the consequences of it.

Arrogant d1ckhead back in the day.

Washington is really bad.  Hell, my team with their 3rd string QB beat them in DC just a few weeks ago.  I see the Packers winning that game, and then it's over.

I'm not sure this team would beat the Browns right now.

Calling it now, the Pokes are taking Lynch or Goff at #4.

[real chili 83]

Wow

[ChicosBailBonds]

I've seen Goff a lot this year...I'm just not sure.   In one way I'm glad he's coming out, our good friend my wife and I went to high school with, her son is enrolling at Cal early next week as a QB so it just helps him out on the depth chart.

As for Lynch, again....eh.

I actually think that Cowboys pick is prime to be traded to some team that falls in love with whichever QB the Browns don't take.

I agree with that.  I also think Jerrah will f it up again, even though the last two years they drafted ok.  It's the ups and downs of the previous 16 years that make me hurl.

NFL really gave the Seahawks a huge eff you playing the noon Sunday game.

I get that the NFL was going to stick ESPN with the worst game (KC/HOU), but why not flip PIT/CIN with SEA/MIN?

Because everyone hates Pete Carroll

I think they wanted both Sunday night participants to play as late as possible. 

Also don't CBS and Fox get first choice of the AFC and NFC playoff games respectively?

They get a say in things, priority over ESPN for sure.

If the Seahawks win, they then would play the noon game in Carolina the following week. I'm not a Seahawks fan, but it seems there's options available to not have a PST team playing at 10am.

Of course he will, bringing JFF back to Dallas.

How the eff are the Skins only favored by 1 against the Packers? Don't usually but on "my teams" but I may have to hammer the Skins with that line.

[naginiF]

I'm not a student of the ELO methodology 538 uses and i'm sure, like any prediction tool, it has flaws but 538 actually has GB as a 1pt favorite and Seattle only a 1.5 pt favorite.  The opening 7pt line has already been bet down to 5(ish) on the Vikes game.

This may be seeing the game through my doom colored Vikings fan glasses but this looks like a set up to get pounded on Sunday.  Unless they can use McKinnon to get Seattle on their heels a little bit and get pressure with just 4 I think it'll be a very long game.

[GGGG]

I don't see any way the Packers beat the Redskins.  I really don't. 

[mu03eng]

First time in my life, I can actually say I hope they don't....just a bad team offensively and they are very painful to watch. I'd like to avoid Rodgers getting totally creamed in the playoffs(I think he has an undisclosed shoulder injury), let him get healthy and give it a go next year.
