NFL Week 17: What Have We Learned?!!

[MushroomX]

Imagine cutting from one blowout to another lol. Damn CBS

Aaron need to call it quits to preserve the little bit of legacy he has left. It’s over dude. I remember all that fallout when GB drafted love. Look at where we are today

shyt will play out like Mr. 3000; Retire, but come back 10 years later as he is tired of being called Mr. 499.

I'd be pissed if I was a Giants fan

they dont want a black QB so they don’t care

if this was Arch Mannings year to declare they would’ve lost this game 63-0

The NFL gods have set us up nicely for Saquon to break the rushing record vs the giants next week.

Lettuce point out that Barkley did not break the record in 16 games

Has he played in every game? Either way I wonder if the Eagles will play him next week if they can't gain anything from a W

Old man buggin'
The Chiefs are playing better at every phase.
They're also going into the playoffs healthy and rested

The Lions are winning the Super Bowl.

I don't think people are getting sick of football at all but the last couple weeks have had so many fukking blowouts because either

A) Key players are injured

or

B) Teams are tanking

It's been mostly unwatchable, playoffs can't come soon enough.

What all these added standalone slots like TNF, Black Friday, Saturday games, etc have exposed is a long standing issue that goes back to the 16 game era : by the time you reach mid-November half the league is a terrible product. Between injuries, backup QBs, teams that didn't live up to expectations, teams with lame duck coaches that are about to be canned, etc

That was a lot easier to hide when you could only watch your local team, SNF/MNF and ESPN highlights, now it's such an obvious elephant in the room even someone like Brady commented on it last season.




That's one of the few realistic solutions I've seen them contemplate tinkering with, overhauling preparation would at least attempt to address an aspect of the bad football they can control.

Seahawks lost to the Giants so they getting eliminated cause Kyler Murray threw a stupid pick to the Rams is fitting. @RadaMillz

most likely but if the 3 out 4 of this happens

packers beat vikings
falcons beat commanders
miami beats cleveland
lions beat niners

Seahawks would need to beat the Rams to win NFC West title

slim chance but still not technically dead

The mere fact he has the chance to break the record in todays pass heavy league where running backs aren’t valued is amazing.

dikkerson didn’t do it in 14 games, yet he broke the record. If Barkley beats his record, it will have an asterisks just like the dikkersons, and OJs.

Could add additional asterisks about how the game changed as well.

Could add additional asterisks about yards per carry. Rush attempts and on.


But they’ll leave that so that we park bench experts have something to talk about

all the games were booty so not much

I'm going to be entertained watching the league trying to figure out if Darnold is the next Kirk Cousins or Jared Goff......PLUS to see if the Vikings pull a Falcons with McCarthy.
