NFL GDT: Week 16

[Baxterman]

Cam is like a big kid out there. Love it! Goes out there and plays the game and has fun. Loves to have fun.

If his team is winning, if not Scam is too busy looking for others to blame to have fun.

 

[SJSharksfan39]

Jimmy's not dead yet!

That was a 90s era opening drive. I’m impressed.

 

[Rossi Rat]

I hate New England as much as the next guy, and they own heavy real estate in us Steelers fans’ heads, but the conspiracy theorists out there need to shut it.

It’s not like every call in their favor has been that bad, and as for the lack of penalties on them lately - uh, maybe they just have the most disciplined D in the league? It’s not like they don’t have arguably the best D coordinator in the league or anything.

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

Division champs legggooooooo

More important: Mahomes time maybe????

 

[Gene Parmesan]

3 and out.

 

[John Price]

4th and 4.
Mariota sacked. Rams win the division!

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

We should get to see the debut of Pat Mahomes against the Broncos next week

Rock hard at the thought of this

 

[John Price]

If his team is winning, if not Scam is too busy looking for others to blame to have fun.

Meh. Can't you say the same about Roethlisberger

"Everything is always the coach's fault, not mine!"

 

[Blitzkrug]

Baltimore clinches a spot too i believe.

The Titans and Bills can't pass them since they max they can win is 9 now.

They don't have the best defensive coordinator in the league. You beat a toothless Buffalo team.

Nope, Ravens couldn't clinch this week. 3 way 9-7 tie with BUF and TEN sees the Ravens in 7th

 

[John Price]

Hmm no doubleheader here this week

 

[GKJ]

That Carolina win really bones NBC next week.

 

[Gene Parmesan]

Jags are division champs.

 

[Gene Parmesan]

49ers are in the redzone again.

 

[GKJ]

Jags are division champs.

I think we know who gets the ESPN-Saturday-4:30 game

 

[Vamos Rafa]

Woot woot! NFC West Champs!

 

[SJSharksfan39]

For the first time since the Harbaugh era the 49ers don’t look predictable.

 

[Canada4Gold]

That Carolina win really bones NBC next week.

I don't really see why. If a 10-5 CAR v. 9-6 ATL game was good for the SNF game what exactly is stopping from using it at 11-4 v. 9-6? Either way it was possible that both teams could already be clinched by the time it starts. Sure playing for the 5 seed is something, but it's pretty meaningless in itself. At least now there's a chance it could be CAR playing for the division but I doubt it.

In reality had CAR lost they probably would have had the winner of SEA/DAL as the SNF game next week as a result of the ATL, and DET losses had CAR also lost that winner would have been guaranteed in with a win, and guaranteed out with a loss. Now that's CAR has won they can't go that route either as an ATL win kills whoever that is

 

[Gene Parmesan]

Damn. Campbell saved a TD.

 

[Blitzkrug]

there's basically nothing left to decide: NBC's screwed either way.

Divisions clinched: Jacksonville, New England, Pittsburgh, Kansas City, Los Angeles, Minnesota, Philadelphia.

Playoff spots clinched: Carolina

Best hope for them might be to somehow flex the Bills/Dolphins (lol) or Jags/Titans game since there rest are essentially meaningless.

 

[Gene Parmesan]

For the first time since the Harbaugh era the 49ers don’t look predictable.

They were incredibly predictable under Harbaugh. They just had a ton of talent so it didn't really matter.

 

[Tuggy]

Happy to see Jimmy playing so well.

If Carolina lost, that game would've been an eliminator, with the other team getting in. You want 2 teams playing for something, not 1. If the Saints win next week, the Panthers are playing for nothing. If the Texans knock off the Steelers (lol) then we've got something cooking out in the AFC

 

[Baxterman]

It’s not like they don’t have arguably the best D coordinator in the league or anything.

There's not a argument that puts him remotely close to Schwartz or Phillips let alone better.

And there are many more in the better category as well. It may be a stretch to have him top 10.
