NFL GDT: Week 17: Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas, Couldn't Miss the NFL This Year

Eagles can probably stop them enough and absolutely destroy their defense.

Saquon would probably have like, 600 yard day vs that defense.

That's my pick to come out of the NFC. The Eagles are scary when firing on all cylinders. That D is legit . I think the only other team ,outside of the Lions, who can beat them might be the Rams. People might think I'm nuts but we'll see. They are my dark horse in the NFC.

 

[Halladay]

Why didn't they go for 2 there?

Well this is bizarre.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

I paid zero attention to this game because I figured DET would not care since Sunday vs MIN is all that matters. So they still basically went full throttle for the win here? I don't get it beyond the Dan Campbell culture stuff.

Won my fantasy keague scoring title with that Jameson Williams TD.

Need Gibbs, LaPorta, Williams to score two more TDs than Kittle the rest of the game to win our playoff championship.

And won the fantasy championship game unless Kittle somehow scores two TDs in the final three minutes. W00t

Just Dan Campbell trying to send a message.

He is a player's coach and he knows his team.

 

[SwordsgoneWild]

I can't wait til Sunday night. That game is going to be great.

 

[PeteWorrell]

Purdy done for the night.

They have been my dark horse for a while now as well, their D is playing some elite level ball. But their offence has been non existent for three straight weeks now, which worries me.

 

[PeteWorrell]

Moody stinks.

 

[Halladay]

Moody should be done as a Niner

 

[bellagiobob]

Moody may have a confidence issue.

 

[SwordsgoneWild]

That artic blast that is supposed to hit around the playoffs is even suppose to get Florida into the freezing range. I hate to think how Buffalo is going to look then.

 

[PeteWorrell]

Moody should be done as a Niner

Can't even do an onside kick.

 

[hatterson]

difficult for a kicker to have a worse game than Moody. Missed XP, missed FGs. Basically booting the onside attempt straight out with zero chance of recovery.

Effectively did everything wrong he could.

Their D has been great since Josh shredded them but the offense has completely disappeared which is worrisome. I still think they will turn it around before WC weekend.

 

[bellagiobob]

Moody just taking his frustrations out on that onside kick.

 

[BKIslandersFan]

Can't imagine 49ers cutting Moody until after the season, no point doing it now.

 

[Terry Yake]

moody is a great example of why you don't waste draft picks on kickers

Very few kickers go onto to do well for basically 1 team their entire career. Especially those that got drafted like Janikowski. A lot of luck with K. Butler went in round 7. Tucker was Undrafted. Not sure most that go rounds 2/3/4 do any better than guys from rounds 5-7.

 

[Squiffy]

Frankly, all considered, that was the best game the 49ers have played in forever, it was nice to see as a 9ers fan. The Purditceptions sealed it but it was the first game in forever it looked coherent as a team, well called, well played game, with a completely decimated roster. Granted against an unmotivated Lions team, although I do think the Lions got up a bit for it considering last years playoffs.

I'd stick with Moody. No point judging this year for them or him. Kickers are even more voodoo than goalies.

That’s exactly why they played to win. Is there something in his time there that suggests the Lions aren’t ever playing to win? They did the same thing last year.

 

[Dubi Doo]

Big dubs! Gibbs pulled it off for me. I needed 12 points and he doubled that. I knew my team had a legit shot this year. Started off 1-4, then healed up, and was the hottest team entering the playoffs.

 

[JimmyApples]

Something needs to be done about the division winners seeding in the future. The Bucs, Eagles and Rams are all ass and are going to be hosting a playoff game while a 14-3 team does not
