Dude, I don't care who won, football is a pretty cool F'ing sport to watch

It’s only Saturday and has been the best week of football so far this year.

Packers definitely trending down with all their injuries

I know they’ve been lucky but I don’t see bears losing out. If they win next week rest starters esp vs WAS since they’re so pissed about the 2xpat

Niners and Lions, they could easily lose both of those games

Ridiculous ending.

Exciting, but overrated bunch of opportunists.

At least a shot. Cause SF if they win next week vs. bears ( and this week) creates whoever wins seattle (if they beat the panthers) vs. sf in week 18 would be the 1 seed. Then got to hope lions can play in cold weather in week 18 at Chicago

With all due respect to Mike McDonald and Vrabel, Ben Johnson should win coach of the year.

Always figured it was the 3 seed as likeliest outcome here and pretty happy about it. Everybody beats the crap out of each other while we rest some weary and banged up players for the next 3 weeks. Great outcome! Coaching staff can legitimately fine tune and focus on the playoffs strategies and doing some final tweaking while playing backups the last 2 games and not exhausting themselves with game planning, etc. A hard fought late season Bills game in the Arctic was always unappetizing for many reasons.

stop criticizing Mike Vrabel

bring up Terrace Marshall. Its time for Marshall, Cooper, Shipley, and McKee to outscore the Bills.

So you think Vrabel should win?

Not really sure what game to watch tomorrow. With Dallas eliminated...let me repeat that...Dallas is eliminated HAHAHAHAHA...

That game has lost a lot of luster and part of me is ok if Dallas wins just to hurt their draft a bit.

But still, it's always fun watching Dallas lose at home.

Packers are cooked.

3 seed it is. Rest everybody the next 2 weeks.

I don't know if resting everyone is really the best idea. Maybe at the half, or injured people? I feel like resting too long can result in really slow starts.

They aren't resting everyone. They will play for the 2 seed.

The reality is this game had no real discernible preferred outcome for the Eagles other than a tie. The Bears have the tiebreaker head to head over the Eagles, but they also have the tougher schedule than the Packers. I think the Packers are going to beat the Ravens and the Vikings. And the Bears will lose to the Niners(who have a ton to play for) and could lose to the Lions.

And on top of that the Eagles had to win out regardless.

I hope they get slaughtered in their final 3 games. Just 3 weeks of giving up.

You can’t rest starters for two consecutive games and expect to start strongly in a playoff game.

Doubs handed CHI that victory; that guy finds a way to be a complete tool almost every game. Botching an onside kick under the old rules was bad enough. With the new onside rules, that was comically bad from the Packers.

Wasn't that the line the SB year with Foles

Just finished watching the Eagles game on delay. Had a Christmas party. Observations:

- It’s amazing how fast you can watch a football game on delay.

- I’d imagine this has already been hotly debated, but I thought Hurts had a typically mediocre passing game. 3 big misfires to AJ Brown. Under 200 yards passing against that pass defense is not something to be proud of. Where I thought he was very good was his decision-making on when to tuck and run. He did it when no one was open and with excellent success.

- Jordan Davis has been the best DL on this team this year. He has become a must re-sign.

- Commanders are a pretty hapless team, but they at least tried to play the game, unlike the Raiders.

This offense already has pretty minimal confidence, rhythm, or passing game. I don’t think they are magically going to find something against Buffalo in 20 degrees in Buffalo that has eluded them all year on offense and will spring them into the playoffs.

21 days off for the OL, however, might actually give us an OL we haven’t seen all year that does lead to a strong start in a playoff game because Saquan goes off.

Also…the tush push needs to be completely scratched from the playoff playbook.

The magic is gone. They can no longer execute it at an acceptably repeatable or reliable level. Better off with a run with Barkley or Tank.

Can we expect to start strong anyway? Feels like rust cant hurt this team. But maybe a little mini offseason can help.

This isn't true, they convert it over 60%. It's a majority conversion play, which is always acceptable. They aren't better off running it because they have the highest rate of tackle for losses in the NFL. They need to run it and actually execute it. And Stoutland needs to do his job for a change this season and start coaching up the OL. And they need to get back to doing it the old way, because they changed some things about how they do it and they made it worse. Because this coaching staff overthinks and sucks at everything.

If anything they need to do it more. Just do it right. In no way with this OL ever be better off handing it off than sneaking it. Unless they hand it off on a fake tush push. But certainly not a traditional run.

Not Sirianni? Did you see that master class of at 2 minute offense before halftime tonight? That alone makes him a contender 🙄
