Week 16 NFL Live Thread

ESPN ^

[Impy]

I’m watching Star Trek VI on VH1.

Sigh.

THEY SHOULD READ FreeRepublic NFL Live threads ... then they would know.

[GOPsterinMA]

CHI scored a TD & 2 pointed. Now 33-11 PHI.

I’ve been watching with the volume on 0, although I’m going to bed soon.

UPDATE#3 of 4! TIEBREAKERS

NFC WILDCARD, ETC	CAR	SAN FRAN	ARIZ
CAR	XXX	CAR-1	-
SAN FRAN	-	XXX	SF-2
ARIZ	ARIZ-1	-	XXX
SAINTS	SAINTS-2	SAINTS-1	SAINTS-1

1- ...HEAD-TO-HEAD
2- ...DIV REC
3- ...CONF REC
4- ...COMMON GAMES
ZONA IS still in bad shape. If all 4 teams finish 11-5, AZ is the odd team out, eliminated. There best chance was a CAR loss today and they didn't get it.

Eagles have truly opened up a can on Chicago.

Which is good, because the Packers lost today too.

[rlmorel]

Well, if I were a praying mantis, and SHE was walking towards me...:)

UPDATE #4 OF 4! TIEBREAKERS

NFC #3 and #4	PHIL	DAL	CHI
PHIL	XXX	DAL-1	XXX
DAL	DAL-1	XXX	CHI-1
CHI	XXX	CHI-1	XXX

1- ...HEAD-TO-HEAD
2- ...DIV REC
3- ...CONF REC
4- ...COMMON GAMES
XXX = no tie is possible.

PHIL WOULD BE #3 SEED.
GB WOULD BE #4.
DAL AND CHI can still be either #3 or #4.

Zona needs help from Atlanta tomorrow night.

[campaignPete R-CT]

7-8 for the week with SF to play.
got the guar winner and guar loser.

[Impy]

AZ won in SEA!? They supplant the Niners if the beat them at home and get the 5th seed.

Would the North/East winners prefer to face AZ? Maybe not if they can beat SEA and SF in back to back weeks.

Dallas can get the 3 seed, if GRB wins the North. Eagles get it either way if they beat Dallas.

[dfwgator]

It’s crazy, it’s about as wide open as it’s been. Could be one of those teams that just sneaks in, like Arizona that winds up winning the whole thing.

I know in the AFC, I’d pray the Chargers don’t make it in.

[campaignPete R-CT]

SF has clinched tiebreaker over AZ.
SF clinches playoffs with win over ATL.

AZ is out unless SF loses to ATL or NO loses to TB ... and they need to beat SF. They need to beat out NO or SF outright, 11-5 to 10-6.

[Impy]

Yes, you’re right of course professor.

Not a great chance at either of those happening. NOLA is at home versus the Bucs. It is worth noting they only barely beat the Bucs on the road in week 2, 16-14.

Atlanta winning tonight, can’t see that. Looked like a great Monday night finale, 3 months ago.

Re: Well them Eagles are good for sumpin... Put a whoopin on those godless Bears

Just a thought... but what we are going to do next Sunday if those godless Bears whip your Packers and those worthless Iggles beat my Boys?

Don't know about you, but I am going to practice for us... winning--

And... losing--

Gadzooks, what the heck! Let us practice... together
