NFL WEEK 17 2011 SEASON

[Don Wassall]

Raheem's Dreem Teem is being destroyed by ATL and it's only the first quarter. They have completely quit on him. It'll be a pleasure to watch this black supremacist get fired tomorrow.

35-0 halfway through the second quarter, I love it!

Josh Freeman's regression/decline has been great to watch

 

[whiteathlete33]

Well Raheem's Dream Team is now certain to finish the season at 4-12. This after a year of overachieving and having a 10-6 record last year. 41-0 now and still in the second quarter. Word is that Blount is a goner next season,.

Jared ties Vikes record 21 on year

They kept showing the former viking record holder Chris Doleman on the sideline cheering when Allen got a sack. The year Doleman recorded 21 sacks he was lined up next to Keith Millard, who recorded 17 sacks that year as a defensive tackle. I kid you not, teams were sometimes triple teaming Millard that year. Shortly after, Millard became a victim to Denny Greens racial purge and Chris Doleman's sack numbers dropped off a cliff.

Horse face just said if the Broncos get in the playoffs and a team has to go to denver to play the will beat the Broncos. Such a joke...to bad his boy scam will be sitting at home. He also threw his 17th INT of the year today.

ANOTHER Ryan Clady holding penalty...:thumbdown:

 

[referendum]

Anyone have any thoughts about the end of the Texans Titans game? Texans insisted on going for two, even after a false start penalty, rather than settle for a game tying extra point try. I don't usually like opening up the whole rigged game theories etc, but seems to me the Texans might not have been too disappointed to help the Titans make the playoffs, as I think they'd rather face them than the Bengals next week. I don't believe I've ever seen a team going for two from the seven and a half yard line when an extra point would tie it at the end of regulation. Would they have gone for the conversion from the thirteen as well?

 

[Riddlewire]

Denver's offensive coordinator has called a miserable game today.

 

[The Hock]

I enjoy checking in with CF every Sunday to see how our guys are doing. The first two pages lots of good news, the last page tending to the negative. But all in all, some good reports coming in from the battlefield this week.

SD is handily leading OAK right now, so DEN might back their way in.

 

[Riddlewire]

Dumb defensive call by Denver right there.
They don't need a safety, just force a punt.

 

[Budmademewizer]

Crap they just said Hillis has a knee injury.

 

[Leonardfan]

Looking at the Broncos playcalling it looks like they are just running the ball. Such an inept coaching staff. Hopefully Hillis does not have a real serious knee injury and he gets out of Cleveland. All the DWFs are clamoring for Griffin in Cleveland.

 

[Budmademewizer]

Hillis back in so it can't be bad.

 

[foobar75]

A truly awful game by DEN offensively, not deserving of a playoff spot should they get in, imo.

I have mixed feelings on this. I'm a Tebow fan but I absolutely hate the offense they run. They do not use any motion in the offense. It would be great to see Tebow succeed in the playoffs though.

 

[Anak]

It's a shame Orlovsky wasn't playing sooner. They wouldn't have had the first pick, but Collie and Clark would have had much better seasons, Painter and Collins just forced the ball to Garcon and Wayne.

Of course, we're all rooting for Tebow, however, having watched the last 3 games entirely (NE, BUF, KC), he appears to have regressed a little bit. He was great running the ball, his passing was improving with each week, and then things have gone somewhat downhill. I still blame the coaching and play-calling mostly, followed by lousy ST play, and then perhaps Tebow. Either way, I hate to say this, but I think PIT will easily beat DEN next week.

 

[referendum]

I was somewhat pulling for the Raiders to win as I think they might have a better chance to beat the Steelers than the Broncos. Hopefully the Pats will beat the winner anyway.

 

[Riddlewire]

It might not matter much, but Pittsburgh will be without Mendenhall in their first round game. And Rothliesberger has been chewing up his ankle by continuing to play.

 

[jacknyc]

Damn! Calvin Johnson overtook Welker for the receiving yards lead.

This really is a shame.
Welker held the yardage lead from week 1 through week 16. But Johnson had a monster game - 244 yds.
It would have been great to have a white receiver lead the league in yardage. I don't when that last happened.
But I do believe Welker will finish on top for # of receptions.

 

[jacknyc]

Allen has the real record.

Absolutely!!!
Favre literally sat down and gave Strahan the sack record before.
The legit record belongs to Allen as far as I am concerned.

 

[Deadlift]

It will be Atlanta at NYG in the wildcard:

This is much better for Matt Ryan than having to go to New Orleans. The fact that Matt Ryan has yet to win a playoff game just speaks to the strength of the NFC. This year, Matt Ryan has clearly been better than Joe Flacco, but the NFC is brutal. Overall, Baltimore's schedule was easy, and they still lost to JAX and SEATTLE!!

Matt Ryan had some sweet wins over DET (taunting him) and Philly, not to mention Scam. I'll be pulling for Matty Ice over the NYG, but it will be a very tough game.

NE has not done a very good job in the post season the last few years, so that home-field advantage is probably meaningless.

DEN is done, so I'm really focusing on NE and TEX for the AFC playoffs. The Texans have lost 3 in a row, but CIN isn't exactly playing lights out, so I can see the Texans winning that game. We will then have the ultimate caste-matchups in the divisional round. PIT @ NE and TEX @ BAL. Nightmare scenario will be PIT @ BAL for the AFC championship game. On the opposite side, TEX @ NE would be a dream match-up, followed by NE vs GB in the Super Bowl.

If Tom Brady and his receivers have even a slight off day, they will probably get bounced out of the playoffs like last year.
