The Panthers are gaining like 7 yards per carry I'm not sure why they would pass at all.

Carolina  Panthers up in the 4th by 10

New York Giants lost

Washington  Sexual Harrassment Pandas on a bye week

 

Now, it's a rarity for me, but GO PATS !

Other than Thursday's debacle it's shaping up to be a phenomenal week.

Look at the Rams schedule, it's really easy. We may root for them against Seattle in week 17.

I didn't expect the Rams to go winless the rest of the way.    Teammates didn't get a chance to know Baker Mayfield yet, they'll probably hate him by next week.

Seahawks may be the most vulnerable team in playoff position right now. Especially with Thursday against the 9ers looking dicey

They own the tiebreaker, but if the Lions take care of business, they will be ahead of them record wise when it's all said and done

I didn't either... I did expect the team winning 16-3 with three minutes left in the 4th to win though. Josh McDaniels said "hold my beer" and called for a single-high defense.

panthers are now 1 game behind detroit.

Great out of town results. Jaguars and Panthers win for bean benefit and Giants and Seahawks lose for playoff benefit. As good as we can ask for outside of Denver almost pulling the upset over KC.

They would jump Tampa for the division. As of right now, Lions hold the tiebreaker with Carolina but since they both play each other, that would settle that.

[Motor City Sonics]

Wow,  Mr Irrelevant defeats the GOAT  35-7.    Great story. 

[Motor City Sonics]

Brady left New England went to Tampa and in his first year wins the Super Bowl.     That was the time to retire, now  you're ordinary.

Seattle appears to be in a nose dive. Geno Smith is falling back down to earth and they've lost 3 of 4.

Seahawks have the 49ers, Chiefs, Jets, and Rams to go. Giants have the Commies, Vikings, Colts, and Eagles to go. Commies have the Giants, 49ers, Browns, and Cowboys to go.

If two of those teams go 1-3 or worse to finish out (probably the Seahawks and the loser of next weeks Giants/Commies game), the Lions can afford to go 3-1 and still make it as a #7 seed.

Wild. What a day.

It's like the first half and second half of the season flipped completely in the NFL for some teams. The Falcons, Giants, Jets, Seahawks had decent or good starts to the season. Now, it's the Lions, Commanders, and 49'ers all rallying back to close strong while all of them are crashing back down to Earth.

It started vs. Detroit.   Their punter was never used in that game.  He felt abandoned,  He is not punting well and it shows.

Why are you rooting for the Pats? We should be rooting for Arizona for Rams draft pick purposes.

[MichiganCardinal]

There are only five teams in the NFC, and 12 in the NFL, with a positive point differential. Lions joined that club today.

Because with one more loss, Arizona is done.     We can root for Arizona when they play the Rams.

The Lions can't afford any more losses so the teams behind them are irrelevant. Arizona is done regardless, time to root for the 4-5 win teams to win games for the sake of a higher pick at least IMO.

arizona has no chance to make the playoffs.  that team is toast and will be looking for a new coach very soon.

We tripled our playoff chances today on Kornacki’s board.

Lions have 45% chance to win against the Jets according to his board. These kinds of odds are absurd, IMHO, but it doesn't help the Jets that their QB is spending tonight in the hospital. Also Quinnen Williams may not be 100% next week.
