why do they need the 1 seed to win the sb when the ravens lose in the divisional to the turf monster
Seahawks are an anime team
Can't wait to watch Jason Garrett become the coach of the Giants.
Baltimore Ravens
New Orleans Saints
Seattle Seahawks
San Francisco 49ers
New England Patriots
Kansas City Chiefs
Houston Texans
Green Bay Packers
Minnesota Vikings
Buffalo Bills
While they didn't run over their opponents, the Ravens managed to fight in bad weather and get the win. The Saints are still good regardless if the game looks pretty or not. They have enough pieces on both sides (though you want the vintage Brees performances more common). The Seahawks keep winning only in the fourth quarter. Don't bet against Wilson in primetime.
You wonder what a game without bad weather would have looked like, but all the same, the 49ers held up and lost only by a field goal. Patriots continue to field a horrible offense. Offensive line sucks and the receivers have little experience with Brady. And who would think that this late in the season there's an outside shot that they'd be competing with the Bills for the division? Watch them magic their way to a bye though. Chiefs buried the Raiders and should have the division on lock. Defense played well, but they need to get better. Otherwise, they'll end taking a disappointing loss like last year in the playoffs.
Impressive victory for the Texans. They hit the weakness of the Patriots offense very well. Edelman can't do everything himself. Pretty much a get-right game in the case of the Packers. Giants are trash though.
Cousins just can't win in primetime under the big lights. Fortunately for them, Cook is OK. Thielen is a big loss for them. Seahawks held Diggs under control. While the Cowboys don't win against teams with positive records (how bout them Cowboys?), it was still a good win for the Bills. Still have reservations about the offense (Cowboys defense is struggling in getting numbers up), but they're probably sturdy enough to at least have potential to reach the divisional round.

Bill Belichick
The New England Patriots
The Refs
Andy Reid after a bye week
Domes
Lamar has more running yards than Ingram
The Steelers
Having your opponent kicking into the open end
The bills defense in the cold
Any team worth a damn playing afc/nfc east teams

Dallas still hasn't beaten a team that's at least .500
Can't wait for Washington to win out and go to the playoffs
hey man its hard not everyone can be nice lol
This is some awesome Patriots football here.
I find it difficult to believe this is the worst display of officiating a Patriots fan has ever seen
Well the Patriots lost because of offensive ineptitude for the 2nd game in a row.
Blaming the refs is a cop out
Pats fans should actually be mad at Belichick shooting draft picks into the sun when attempting to acquire skill players (sanu over sanders? N'Keal over literally every other WR? Cutting Josh Gordon? Trading DT? Only signing Bruce Ellington and Maurice Harris in the offseason? Literally ignoring the TE position?)
Belichick is being praised for his defense but is somehow not being criticized for putting together the biggest group of JAGS in the NFL at the skill positions

they've literally been doing that for the past 20 years, only difference now is Tom's age is creeping up there enough that he's becoming increasingly less consistently able to carry a bunch of nobodies on offense
Y'alls are still fuckin 10-3 anyway, with your losses to the other three division leaders. Dallas fan over here like

the steelers are 8-5 mike tomlin is a god
What's gona stop the Ravens from beating everyone almost easily and reaching the SB? Basically means only the SB game will there be a legit threat unless Pats somehow do what they do.
T. disillusioned chargers fan before they moved that hasn't kept up and now a man without a country. Least the titans are having a good season, they're less than an hour from where I live shrug* might go see them play

I'm interested to see if the Patriots turn around what's happened to them in the past few games. If any team is to overcome losses like that it's them, and this year is no different. As for other teams really excited to keep seeing what the Ravens do, and more importantly if anyone counters them. San Francisco looks more dangerous and the solidified NFC contender considering what they did to the Saints yesterday, but I'm open to being proved wrong. Overall the playoffs are shaping to be interesting to say the least depending on how the standings go.
Home field is gonna play a huge role in that, and honestly I think the road for the Seahawks is harder if they don't have it, but still doable.
Euthanize the NFC East already
That's certainly one way to fix the issue, but man is it a bad division. Haven't seen one that bad in a while, and even then I don't think it was on that level.
