I'm surprised there isn't more playoff talk here. Sure, those AFC wildcards (and the North) are a god damn mess still, but the NFC (outside of the South) is a down to just one question:

Seahawks/Packers/Lions/Eagles/Cowboys. One of them isn't playing in January. And it sure looks like that will be the loser of the Cowboys/Eagles game. (The Cowboys could end up 11-5 and still miss the playoffs!) Yet I'm not seeing the level of discussion you'd expect for what is the first defacto playoff game of the season. (And no, I am not trying to bait 2 pages of Cowboys fanboyism.)
Fixed it for you, Cardinals are in the playoffs because I highly doubt the Cowboys v. Eagles ends in a tie.

*lists 6 teams and adds nothing of value*
Oh man, you really called us out not going in depth on the 47 million variables left in the NFC playoff picture...


I posted this during the Thursday game, but wasn't sober enough to post it after at a good time.

Of course now I'm posting it late Saturday night so it will still not get the full maximum fun traffic.

The NFC , to my mind, is going to come down to whether Seattle and/or GB win out and get home field. The rest is just mental masturbation. Right now with Lacy a little ringed up, my gut says advantage Hawks. The Buffalo game is the one we need him the most. The Hawks only remote chance to lose a game is getting trolled by the Rams.

I agree with this, though I still think the Cardinals could be an obstacle.

If you are the Cards, how do you not at least try Thomas out? He might suck, but Lindley definitely sucks, and you already know that.

Can someone explain to me why everyone thinks its completely unfathomable that Detroit loses 2/3 division games when 1 of them is against GB?

Yeah I find it unlikely he will play worse than Hoyer has been the last month. He is also new so I could see something like what happened with Kaeperbro where he closes out the season strong.

He is a total douche though so hopefully Bengals defense makes him really earn it.

I revise my prediction. JFF will throw for 800 yards, rush for another 200, score 8 tds, kick 2 fgs, balance the budget, solve the world energy crisis, and bring peace to the middle east. Take that Tim Tebow!

Hmm.. Johnny football has the power to get fox to air an AFC game. I've never seen an AFC game on Fox before or am I losing my mind??

Yaaaaa Pats! Blocked punt for a TD.

Edit: FG indeed. I know the difference, was just too busy cheering to think straight.
