They've made 6pm missable, thanks NFL!

It will be interesting to see how the Bears line up. To clinch #2 they need to win and the Rams to lose which is highly unlikely. Do the Bears put out the first team as long as Cardinals @ Rams is competitive?

Fair play Paulie for starting these threads every week

I believe I said the same Week 17 last year too!

I think they'll be going out to win. Letting divisional rivals beat you and thinking you'll just turn it in the following week is risky business but I can see the logic: rest your players, avoid injury, play the Vikings instead of the eagles which on paper looks a better bet, etc. On the other hand if there's even a small chance of a bye and a home game playoff it's worth going for. I think you're probably right: if the Rams start getting well on top in the other game we could see lads being rested. But I don't think that's any kind of guarantee: the niners have looked good against the Seahawks and the bears, and the Rams haven't been exactly stellar in the stretch, so I think we should be trying to clinch that seed while it's up for grabs.

I think the Niners have a shot in LA. Gurley is out again and the Niners have done really well recently. Shanahan had them fighting until the final down last season and it looks to be the same this year.

It'll be a interesting evening of football, hopefully.

I've just noticed that 5 of the Niners' 16 games this season have had Thom Brennaman and Chris Spielman commentating. That's just cruel.

49ers are missing a load of players as well though including Breida, Goodwin and Pettis.

In case anyone wondering, Jags at Texans & Bears at Vikings are the Sky games.

No Mariota tonight in a winner takes all game for the Titans against the Colts.

Gabbert will start.

There is some utter dross in in the early window today.

Eli intercepted twice already, once in the endzone.

They've really put themselves in some mess at QB. Will probably end up sticking with Eli again next year.

Oat23

Wonder what the refs saw on that Watson rushing TD that wasn't shown on redzone...not sure how it was overturned.

Edit: ah they just showed more replays. Looks to be the correct decision.

I think the late game redzone could be class.

Fake field goal TD from the Lions. Sure might as well

Curtis Riley pulling out of a tackle on the Cowboys TE and letting him walk in for the TD just cost him his job surely? Only OBJ can do that :pac:

mikemac2

Haven’t seen a whiff from a defensive back that bad since Antonio Cromartie with the Chargers. Gutless

Kiko Alonso isn't going to learn until he is left crippled. How many times has he launched himself head first at opponents? Scumbag.

thomond2006

Barkley is not human.

j8wk2feszrnpao

Pats wrap up the 2 seed at least. Heavy favs today, but the Jets..... terrible.
Interesting to see who they get to replace Bowles. Darnold with a lot to improve for year 2.

mikemac2

Onto the meaningful games now

Ravens blew the win & in situation last year on a 4&12

Ravens Browns should be a good game

Itssoeasy

I did pick the ravens to win their game but I could easily see the browns winning. I mean think of this way, the ravens are the browns since Art Modell moved the team there in the nineties. The ravens need to win tonight to win the division and how funny would it be for the current browns to beat the team Art Modell founded in Baltimore and stop them going to th playoffs.

Oat23

Superb throw by Prescott and a great catch by Beasley.

ScrubsfanChris

With the game on the line, Eli throws 4 incomplete passes in a row after his defenses gave up a touchdown on 4th & 15

Art Modell left the Browns records and team name in Cleveland

Something the Irsay family did not do when they left for Indy

thomond2006

NYG playcalling screamed throwing the game. Insane not to use Barkley with two timeouts in hand.

Oat23

Not sure if Anthony Miller will be able to come back from another dislocated shoulder. Did earlier this season and it was said he'd likely need surgery at the end of the season. Might be his season over there

Art modell was forced to leave the team name and all that in Cleveland.

He is so good that the likes of Kyler Murray is going to a lot higher in the draft when they come out of college.

ScrubsfanChris

Whistle happy refs just cost the Browns a huge stop and 90+ yard touchdown return.

Ohmeha

That was sickening for the Browns, mugged by the ref and his whistle

I cannot understand how they overturned the call on the field. I seen the replay many times and it was too close to call either way for me.
I'd imagine there are a lot of unhappy Ravens fans.
