Around The NFL -- Week 16

[The BIGSTUD]

The Giants wouldn't beat the Raiders right now. If they get in it is going to be a disgrace. They quit.

[Feva]

Steven Jackson takes it in from 21 yards out.  Rams take it 37-31. 

I needed that for any chance for a win in the keeper league.

Dio's still in control, though.  I need Boldin and Westbrook to come up big.

Well... Jackson got you 150 yards and a TD on the ground and 102 yards receiving and a TD so he's done his part for you.  Can't ask for too much more than that.

Eli today:

9/25 74 yards 1 TD 1 INT

Take away the 55yd TD to Burress;

8/24 19 yards 0 TD 1 INT

The Giants ran ZERO plays in Saints territory today. Zero.

[Feva]

...and if the 49ers beat the Cardinals, they'll be 7-8 (6-6 NFC)

They'll have to come back from a 17-3 deficit to do it.

Question--how would the Eagles NOT get in now?  I think they'd hold tiebreakers over all the other teams "competing" for the last spot?

If they lost their last 2.

That would include a loss to the Falcons and they'd hold the tiebreaker over us at 8-8.

Right, but another 8-8 team would need to be ahead of us then too.  We beat GB.  We beat SF.  We beat CAR.  I think we'd hold tiebreakers over CAR?  We'd have a better conference record than STL, which would be the tiebreaker.  We'd have the same CONF and DIV record than NY, so maybe we wouldn't get a tiebreaker versus them?  I'm just looking at each team and I think we hold almost EVERY individual tiebreaker besides with ATL, which is why I'm confused about how we wouldn't make it. 

If NY loses to WASH next week, we're in regardless I think.

[PhillyPhreak54]

Clinton Hart INTs his second pass of the first half.

Will it stand up under review? We'll see.

[PhillyPhreak54]

It does.

SD leading 7-0
AZ winning 20-6 at the half
DEN leading 14-10

[BigEd76]

If the Eagles lose out and the Giants beat Washington, the Giants and Falcons would go because the Falcons would have the H2H over the Eagles, while the Giants would have the better common games record (8-6 vs 6-8)...

....although....if the Panthers win at New Orleans, they'd knock the Falcons out....but the Eagles have the H2H over Carolina.  hmmmmmm 

[BigEd76]

Arizona won 26-20, eliminating the 49ers and giving Seattle the NFC West title...

[Feva]

The Bengals trailed 24-17 in Denver and Carson Palmer hits Houshmanzadeh for a TD in the middle of the end zone to pull within 1.

What happens?  The holder botches the snap on the PAT! 

:41 left in the game.

[BigEd76]

SD scores a TD with :20 left.  20-17 Chargers

[BigEd76]

Game over.  Seattle has to fly across the country to face Tampa Bay next week.  We could have an 8-8 division champ this year...

[Feva]

Well... we're already guaranteed that someone will be a wildcard in the NFC at 8-8... unless they're 7-9.
