Also this is my feeling on how the playoffs will shake out. Ravens win the Division, Chiefs get a wildcard and the winner of Steelers/Bengals is in, loser is out. Rooting for pittsburgh, sets up a winable wild card game at home vs KC and with Pittsburghs help vs Indy another shot at Peyton Manning in the cold. |

Shit lost my consolation match by a point to the Thumpers. He had a guy score 40 points oddly.

Being in a fight for the NFC South division title is worse than being... say... the Oakland Raiders in some ways. At least everyone just kinda forgets the Raiders exist. The NFC South teams have a huge spotlight on how shitty they are every week.

Sometimes I wish the Dolphins were in the NFC South.
Sucks we're in the AFC East, against 3 northern teams, and usually have to play them in December up there. |

Indy needs out of the AFC South too. There's way more American real estate below them than above.

Season is nearly over, so I think it's fair to ask at this juncture:
Is this the best crop of rookie WRs ever? Odell Beckham ("Jr") Mike Evans Kelvin Benjamin Sammy Watkins Jordan Matthews Brandin Cooks John Brown probably missing a couple names as well But an incredibly great group of young receivers. |

In March the owners will be voting to expand the playoffs from 12 teams to 14 as well as changing playoff seedings. The proposed seedings would be: 1 seed gets a bye, 2 and 3 seeds are division winners with the next highest record/tiebreakers, and the fourth division winner will be guaranteed a playoff spot but seeds 4-7 will be based on record/tiebreakers. So for example, this year the NFC South winner would be the 7th seed and have to play the #2 seed on the road in Wild Card weekend.
The thinking seems to be that it's extremely rare for a wild card team to have a better record than the 3 seed, but the 5 seed has had a better record than the 4 seed pretty frequently. And of course years like 2010 and this year where both wild cards are better than the 4 seed. I dunno. I'm a believer that if you win your division, you should not only make the playoffs but get a home playoff game. If the wild card team can't go on the road and beat an inferior opponent, they don't deserve to advance. Although it's fun to joke about it's never really bothered me that a bad division can produce a bad playoff team. In 2010 my 10-6 Giants stayed home while the 7-9 Seahawks got in. That's just the breaks. Would be happy with 14 playoff teams though. It's still less than half the league, makes the 1 seed that much more important, and would make that first weekend of the playoffs extra fun. |

49ers released Ray McDonald with the reason due to him being in legal trouble again. Also is likely facing a suspension due to the new NFL conduct rules.

Have two play in games for the two Wild card spots. It's not possible to have a fair conference way to do things when so much of your season is played in your division. To be fair conference record should be the thing that lines up your teams in the seeding not overall record. They'll never do that.
have 4 instead of 2 wc 1 vs. wc 4 wc 2 vs. wc 3 The two winners are the real wild card current teams and are put in to face the 2 divisional seeds 3 and 4. It gives the divisional winners a bye and the top seeds two weeks off. It also punishes teams for being non-divisional winners making the divisional races more important. |

Read this like 4 times and it didn't actually sink in til just now.
Everything is falling into place right now for the Lions. Either they will get a 2nd seed in the playoffs, or suffer a debilitating stomach-punch somewhere and make me hate football even more |

True. The one bright spot of the Jags' season this year has to be their promising group of young receivers. If only they had an O-line that could keep Bortles upright, and anything resembling a running game.
Forgot last night's game was even on. I forget who I even took in my pool due to total apathy. |

Mariota is going #1. I can't see any other scenario. Winston is probably going in the top 5 at worst just because it's a shit QB class but there are major off-field risks there. So naturally Winston will be a Jet.
