Board 8 > NFL Discussion Topic - Week 15

(+) Yeah! (+)

gf didn't follow my advice on fournette because of a Matthew Berry take. If kareem hunt scores between 10-24 points she will lose directly because of not starting the guy I drafted and told her this is a guy we're keeping because he might be valuable later

Good luck honey

I saw someone say the Colts should absolutely lay down in week 17 and let the Jags win if they've clinched a playoff spot just to keep Lawrence out of the division

Could be pointless if Belichick has the same idea.

---

Cowboys/49ers would've at least been a fun game. Should've left it as the Sunday night game.

---

cowboys getting flexed out of primetime was hilarious though so it's okay

---

I mean I get it because even Cowboys fans don't want to watch this team anymore

---

Kareem Hunt 4.3 half ppr points, RB47 for the week. Advancing to the championship by just a few points

Thanks Ridley. What a fucking stud he was this season

based on what i've seen, the jets might just beat the patriots straight up

---

So my semifinal opponent, the overall 1 seed, had Adams, DK, and ARob at WR. He had JRob and DJ at RB.

He flexed Hunt. If he'd just had CeeDee Lamb or Chase Edmunds anywhere in his lineup, he would've won.

I can't wait to make fun of him

Edit: that phrasing took a few tries

:(

bengals showing up

should be like 31-0 tbqh they've dropped like 5 ints already

---

The Bengals are pretty clearly the better team. Everyone is hoping they get to play the Steelers in the WC round of the playoffs~

---

Which team is worse

The 2019 Pats who started 8-0, finished 12-4, and lost in the first round

Or

The 2020 Steelers, who started 11-0, might just finish 12-4, and who are probably going to lose in the first round.

Tough to say, both are massive frauds.

---

Last year's Pats. People recognized the Steelers were frauds even before they lost a game. People still wanted to believe New England didn't suck until the Titans ended the dynasty and took Brady's final pass back for a touchdown.

---

Hey maybe the dynasty is just taking a break for a year

---

Yeah, definitely the 2019 Pats - what Leon said.

At this point it looks like 11-5 and losing the division.

---

Its pretty satisfying for what I assume is about 80% of NFL fans who thought the Steelers were frauds to be proven even more right than most of them thought.

---

I was pretty close to picking the Bengals this game. But I just couldn't pull the trigger.

The Steelers have already lost at halftime to a team that was just noncompetitive in a blowout loss to the Cowboys.

Just let that sink in in just how badly the Steelers have fallen from grace.

---

This is next level fraudulency. I love it.

---

The Steelers still have a decent chance at winning this game, for what it's worth, but it's still embarrassing.

---

this win is good news for the Jags and Jets because it means the Bengals couldn't swing in and steal the 2nd pick from them if they slip up and win another game

although actually I guess the tie would prevent that either way, so they'd have to win the last two for that to have been a concern, but either way, it's out the window!

Yeah, the Jets win yesterday kept the Bengals "alive" for the 1st pick but it required both the Jets and Jags winning out to 3-13 with the Bengals losing out to 2-13-1. They've now eliminated themselves.

---

The Rams clinch a playoff spot if any of these occur:

Week 16:

Rams win
Cardinals win
Bears lose
Bucs lose (only if they also lose week 17)

Week 17:

Rams win
Bears lose
Bucs lose (only if they lost week 16)

The Rams can only be eliminated by a 9-7 tie with the Cardinals and Bears and the Bucs must not also be 9-7.

---

This Dwayne Haskins stripper story is hilarious

---

Man, the meltdowns from my Pittsburgh friends are kind of funny right now. Half of them are blaming "too many injuries" while the other half are calling for half the team to be fired.

---

The Browns winning the division, the Steelers finishing 11-5, and the Ravens missing the playoffs would be hilarious.

It's now easier than ever too with the Steelers being bad. If the Colts and Browns both win their last two games, which include the Steelers, the Ravens are out even if they also win out.

---

yeah we have a real chance of an 11 win team missing the playoffs despite the additional playoff spot

with two weeks to go the Browns can win the division and also miss the playoffs entirely

---

It would be a very Browns move to miss the playoffs.

---

the last time the Browns had a double digit win season they also missed the playoffs

---

Browns missing the playoffs at 11-5 would be so Browns

I believe in baker

Do it brownies

I believe in baker

Famous last words

---

What if it's believing in Baker to blow the Browns playoff hopes?
---

When you wake up feeling dangerous it can go a lot of ways, okay

---

It would've been the thing of Legends if the Browns were the Jets' only win, but we've lost that timeline.

---

Hi so RoJo is doubtful to play this week and I am literally this close to never stopping bragging to my fantasy league about that time I held Leonard Fournette all season and then only started him to win the championship

Oh and our opponent owns RoJo lol

The 3-10-1 Bengals have more wins against teams above .500 this year than the 11-3 Packers do.

The NFC North sucks, yeah

---

yeah, only played against 3 opponents period over 500 cause the nfc north sucks. and 1 was an overtime loss.

but im relatively certain we'll be 1-3 against winning opponents after this weekend so not ideal

---

I have no confidence we'll beat the Packers because our pass defense is atrocious.

But then again, the Packers have no run defense. It's weakness vs. weakness.

---

ESPN fantasy app is projecting my championship matchup as literally 50/50

I either win or I don't, I s'pose

I'm leaning towards the team that can pass for 300 and run for 200 over the team that can pass for 400 and run for 100.

It mostly goes down to who I trust to get a critical stop more. If the Titans have the ball and the lead with 6 minutes left there's a pretty good chance the Packers never see the ball again.

Pick the #1 scoring offense in the NFL
