OFFICIAL NFL week 16 thread

I think if they played in a neutral place, the Saints would win. I think the weather will be the deciding factor.

Yea, Wisconsin in January will be interesting for the Saints but this game has the potential to be a better one than the SB anyway, Pitt has a great D but (for now) a gimpy QB, Baltimore, who knows what team is gonna show and the D is getting a little old, though Suggs is still a beast, Pats, waste of a fine offense, they match up poorly vs Pitt who is primarily a passing team now and they have a defense. As much as I'd like to see Brady have one more shot the thought of that D facing a Brees or Rogers is not pleasant, Pats would have to score 7 on every possession to have any shot, could wind up a 49-30 type of score..

Week 17... this really sucks.
Teams give little indication as to how much they are going to play their starters.

My only worries are Arian Foster (Texans are a lock) and Jordy Nelson (GB is a lock).

Lol, Atlanta just last week against Jax was still throwing up 34-0 to make it 41-0 so complaining now that you're on the other end is a little laughable.

Awesome catch.

I looked it up. After Atlanta went up 34-0 in the 3rd quarter, Jax went three and out, then Atlanta not only kept throwing, they went no huddle (at mid-field) and scored on a 29 yard TD pass. They did not take Ryan out until they were up 41-7.

Keep crying, Atlanta.

this is why fantasy commissioners who run their season into week 17 should not be commissioners.

If your FF league is still going in week 17, it is time to find a new league.

When I played FF, I always pushed for the Super Bowl to be week 14 or 15. By the last 2-3 weeks of the season, some teams are already starting to give their starters more rest and the schemes are getting a little more vanilla in preparation for the playoffs. Other teams are getting more desperate and are changing their schemes accordingly. As much as FF is a crapshoot to begin with, the last 2-3 weeks are even more so.

I was just going to post that. I don't even like having the super bowl in week 16.

Just watched the replay of the 49ers game.
Man what scum bags they have up in Seattle.

First the Seahawks take an ultra dirty hit on a defenseless players.
Then the Seahawks won't let the 49ers medical staff attend to the player forcing the head coach to push aside Seahawk players.
And finally as the player is received medical attention the fan base starts chanting.

Seahawlk fans should be disgusted. What d-bags.
