I wasn’t watching but evidently Stanton is out for the season. I think Arizona is now toast as far as doing much in the playoffs.

Yes. Sad. :(

ARZ is literally on their 3rd string QB.

MRI pending, if Stanton is out that’s obviously very bad for the Redbirbs.

ESPN says it’s only a sprain, but he’ll still miss some time. I didn’t see the injury because I watched NBA last night instead.

Bendy, Bendy, Bendy. We both know that when the Cowboys have their playoff destiny in their hands, they go into choke/implode mode. I’d like to be wrong on this, but I doubt it.

in that 3-way tie, DAL - GB - AZ
dallas cannot get the 5th seed, because AZ has clinched SOV over dallas. So AZ either gets the #5 over GB based on SOV or the lose out to GB and get the #6 vs DAL based on h2h.

AZ vs DAL SOV at 11-5 8-4
7 uncommon wins

AZ:
KC SD OK DAL SF STL DET current total is 48
DAL:
JAX TN HOUS NYG SEA CHI NO current total is 34

because of h2h meetings, in those 7 opponents DAL max is:
34 plus 21 - 3 h2h = 52

because of h2h meetings, in those 7 opponents AZ min is:
48 plus 2 dal plus 3 h2h = 53

AZ MIN beats the DAL max, therefore AZ has clinched SOV over DALLAS and the 3-way tiebreaker in addition to the h2h 2way tiebreaker.

so yes, AZ has clinched playoffs as soon as DAL or PHIL gets their 5th loss ... this SUN. (unless PH-DAL game ends in tie.)

they haven’t clinched if

PHIL 11-4-1
DAL 11-4-1

Impy, as a Saints fan, I can assure you that your bears can beat my Saints in a shoot out. Anybody can beat our clown car of a secondary. Even with our future HOF QB.

20 years from now the present Dallas QB will be more known for dating the hottest women on earth rather than his football skills.

Well, against my better judgment I'm gonna give my picks:

Week 15

Arizona Cardinals vs. St. Louis Rams, 7:25 p.m. (That one was easy!)

Sunday, Dec. 14

Pittsburgh Steelers vs. Atlanta Falcons, 1 p.m.

Jacksonville Jaguars vs. Baltimore Ravens, 1 p.m.

Green Bay Packers vs. Buffalo Bills, 1 p.m.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs. Carolina Panthers, 1 p.m.

Cincinnati Bengals vs. Cleveland Browns, 1 p.m. (Manziel will be picked off too many times to win that one)

Minnesota Vikings vs. Detroit Lions, 1 p.m.

Houston Texans vs. Indianapolis Colts, 1 p.m.

Oakland Raiders vs. Kansas City Chiefs, 1 p.m.

Miami Dolphins vs. New England Patriots, 1 p.m.

Washington Redskins vs. New York Giants, 1 p.m.

Denver Broncos vs. San Diego Chargers, 4:05 p.m.(The dream Super Bowl would be Manning versus Rodgers, but that's a long way to go)

New York Jets vs. Tennessee Titans, 4:05 p.m.

San Francisco 49ers vs. Seattle Seahawks, 4:25 p.m.

Dallas Cowboys vs. Philadelphia Eagles, 8:30 p.m.

Monday, Dec. 15

New Orleans Saints vs. Chicago Bears, 8:30 p.m.

You can thank me later, Bender.

The whole coaching staff needs to go.

I’m gonna go up to Trestbot and throw a cup of water in his face, 10 to 1 he short circuits.

I think the entire organization, front office down, is gone.

Trestbot. Yeah. I wanted him to succeed.

OTOH, look at what COACH BRRRRUUUUCCCCCEEEEE is doing with off the street players.

So, win, lose or draw.. the Johnny Game's afoot!

BTW for all you New York Giants fans, did you know... they once played Notre Dame? A Knute Rockn coached Notre Dame team!

Well, big, the results will not make you happy:

Not happy... at all--
