Board 8 > NFL Discussion Topic - Week 9 - RIP Texans

(+) Yeah! (+)

AFC Playoffs

1. Patriots
2. Steelers
3. Chiefs
4. Titans
5. Jaguars?
6. Bills?

...I honestly have no idea who wins the Wild Cards in the AFC this year. The three best teams seem obvious, and then everything else is a crapshoot.

NFC Playoffs

1. Eagles
2. Rams
3. Saints
4. Vikings
5. Cowboys
6. Seahawks

Again, dependent on Elliot being able to play. The Redskins, Lions, or Panthers could sneak in there if Zeke has to sit out eventually.

Minnesota still plays Washington, the Rams, Carolina, and Atlanta. All four of these teams are better than every team left on the Lions schedule

Eh, Atlanta's not good, and I'm not sure Carolina is either. Washington might be talented, but they can lose to anyone on a given Sunday. I agree that the Lions' schedule is very favorable, but they're also the Lions. They find ways to lose games they should win.

They did that with Pittsburgh last week. Set the NFL record for most yards without a touchdown.

I think they might drop one to the Bears. They should win at Baltimore or Cincinnati but I could see them Lioning one away.

I don't think the Rams are on Philly's level, but I think that game here in a few weeks is gonna be fun as hell.

also the Rams are much better than Seattle, they were very fortunate to beat us and when we come to Fake Noise stadium we are going to right that wrong.

I think the Lions will Lion at some point down the stretch.

on paper, they should absolutely win the division, which means yeah, they probably won't

this was our local radio guy after the Steelers loss. this is what the Lions do to people.

The one thing I'll say about the Chiefs is that the 2nd half of our schedule is much much easier than the 9 games we just played, and we should be favored in all 7 games

Our defense may suck too much to actually win all 7 games, but I wouldn't count us out of getting a top 2 seed, especially since the Pats and Steelers play each other

Texans cut Matt McGloin and signed Josh Johnson, who, the last time he threw a pass in the NFL, was filling in for Josh Freeman in 2011.

Sure enough, Colin Kaepernick is not being blackballed.

Wait..

He's currently suing the league, even if he wasn't being blackballed before he is literally unemployable right now while the case is active.
---

Alternatively someone employs him right now and the case disappears

True. I mean, O'Brien said on Monday: Colin Kaepernicks a good football player, hasnt played football in a while,

and then signed a guy who hasn't played since 2013 and couldn't make the 49ers as Kaep's backup in 2014.

But I do think if there wasn't before, there is now a general thing about not touching him while his case is ongoing.
