also re: being tested, New England did have the second weakest strength of schedule in the league (second only to my Dolphins, lolz), and it's strength of victory is the second weakest among the current playoff entrants (again, second to my Fins). Not that I put a huge amount of stock in that - you can only beat who you play, they've been dominant in those wins (unlike Miami), and it's not like they don't have 15 years of proof that they're always a threat in the playoffs.
but, like Miami, the only playoff team they've beat this year is Pittsburgh, as they lost to the only other one they faced (Seattle). still not seeing who would be the obvious team to take them out in the AFC, as pointed out above, Pittsburgh is inconsistent as hell and obv Oakland is a diff team without Carr (tho who knows!).

Poe's td pass yesterday makes him the heaviest player to throw a TD all-time

if new england lose it will be to a defense not an offense, it always is. not worried about pburgh; atlanta superbowl would be a dream. giants superbowl is the nightmare obv. in the afc the chiefs are the only good defense. not that long ago kcc wrecked ne, back in 2014.

Ryan fired. lol
― Neanderthal, Tuesday, 27 December 2016 17:24 (seven years ago) link
no surprise obviously but ouch @ the timing of this, what's the point of firing a coach with one game to go
― frogbs, Tuesday, 27 December 2016 17:27 (seven years ago) link
it's more "fuck you, you had ten men on the field when Ajayi won the game moments after you punted with less than a minute to go when a tie would have eliminated you" from the owner IMO
― Neanderthal, Tuesday, 27 December 2016 17:28 (seven years ago) link
reasonable
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 27 December 2016 17:31 (seven years ago) link
yeah I guess if any coach deserves a grand "fuck you" gesture it's Rex

Rex Ryan - defensive coordinator for the Bears. Seems a very neoptism friendly McCaskey hire.
― earlnash, Tuesday, 27 December 2016 18:11 (seven years ago) link
apparently because rex wanted to play tyrod taylor in a meaningless game against his hated jets this week, and ownership didn't want to risk taylor getting hurt

i guess cowboys are sitting their starters and they're starting mark sanchez instead of romo. they claim it's bc they don't want to risk injuring romo behind the 2nd team o-line but i wonder if teams will be shy about signing him for next year if they see him sit. like maybe he's still not healthy?

i really enjoy tampa's playoff scenario:
TB beats CAR at homeDET beats GB at homeWAS ties NYFG at homeSF beats SEA at homeDAL wins at PHITEN beats HOU at homeIND beats JAX at home
i wasn't expecting two AFC games to matter (due to TB vs GB strength of schedule). it's not even *that* far-fetched except for the tie and the niners beating seattle
