Ha! The look on the refs face was priceless. Its the look I give my 4 year old boy at the grocery store. The little piece of crap waits until we’re almost to the front of the line to spring it on me that he has to go to the bathroom. He’s done it to me 2 times in the last week.

If he's a little piece of crap are you the big piece of crap he came from?

Without a doubt

We might be playing Love instead of old man Rogers to end the season.

Nope. As things are currently, GB is in the cat-bird seat, but, DAL and TB are right on their heels. They MUST keep winning to secure homefield. And they absolutely want to have the bye and homefield. GB knows Dtroit will be easy work anyway. One good half and the game will be over.

One more win by DAL and we will be set. Now only if JAX can rise up and get a W...

Baker Mayfield stinks.

Nothing new

It always amazes me how Rodgers can drop back for like 5-6 seconds and there is never a holding call.

The look on TJ Lang's face when he wasn't getting away with the holding calls he was getting away with in GB. That's a memory

Lol. Man, kids train parents too. Next time you would be wise to take him to the bathroom as soon as you get to the store. Then you can shop with confidence.

[JGSpartan]

Also don't just ask if they gotta go. Make em try. They will say no every time and then say they have to go in 5 minutes.

[jaadam4]

I normally do but he got me several times recently.

Once upon a time when I was on vacation in Virginia we saw a van pulled off the freeway about 30 yards passed a rest area with a kid facing the freeway peeing a blue streak and crying his eyes out. We could just imagine a dad fed up with junior telling him too late that he needed to go and wanting to teach him a lesson. LOL he probably still needs therapy for that little incidence.

[dpatnod]

Poor Saints.

[The King]

7 straight wins for Tua. Man, that guy just always wins. Not to mention he currently leads the NFL in completion %.

He just changes culture.

[Forsh]

Tua is whatever. He doesn't throw the ball more than 10 yards. That's why he leads in completion percentage. He's a game manager. The guy has Jaylen Waddle and never throws deep. Now Waddle is a superstar talent

[chemiclord]

If I recall the report correctly, the Dolphins are the first team in NFL history to have a 7 game winning streak and a 7 game losing streak in the same season.

Turn the water on in the RR. That will do it.

How bout them cowboys?!!!! () Seriously, we need DAL to beat the Cards and put pressure on GB to continue to win.

Week 17 NFL playoff picture: Two spots still up for grabs in the NFC

When Week 16 began, no NFC teams had clinched spots in the postseason.

By the time it was over, five of the seven tickets had been punched and three of the divisions were decided. Only the NFC West remains in play and the Rams now have the inside track on a home playoff game in the first round of the playoffs thanks to surviving three Matthew Stafford interceptions a day after the Cardinals lost at home to the Colts.

The fight for seeding among the division leaders will continue into the final two weeks of the season and the Wild Card race isn’t over either, but the right string of results in Week 17 could leave the entire NFC dance card booked before the final weekend.

Here’s how the entire NFC playoff picture shapes up with two weeks left to play:

CLINCHED

1. Packers (12-3) They’ve had to hang on late the last two weeks, but no one will care how they win this weekend if they move closer to clinching the top seed and send the Vikings out of the playoff race.

2. Cowboys (11-4) Sunday’s rout of Washington saw the long-awaited return of the offense and more of the same against the Cardinals will put momentum on their side heading into the postseason.

3. Rams (11-4) Winning in Baltimore is one of the steps to ending the NFC West race ahead of Week 18.

4. Buccaneers (11-4) Injuries are mounting for the defending champs, but they’ll be able to heal up with the division in hand and winnable games in the final two weeks of the season.

5. Cardinals (10-5) This year’s second-half swoon won’t knock them out of the playoffs, but we’re looking for a sign that they won’t be one-and-done.

IN THE HUNT

6. 49ers (8-7) Houston is up next and that should allow them to get back in the win column, although the Chargers were probably thinking the same thing this time last week.

7. Eagles (8-7) While divisional road games are never gimmes, Washington looks like it is running on fumes and the Eagles have won six of their last eight games.

8. Vikings (7-8) They couldn’t take advantage of three Matthew Stafford interceptions, so there’s little reason to think they can win at Lambeau Field.

9. Falcons (7-8) It’s remarkable that they’ve hung around this long, but Sunday’s trip to Buffalo looks like the moment the clock will strike midnight.

10. Saints (7-8) Monday night’s loss with a depleted roster leaves them needing help even if they take down the Panthers and Falcons in the final two weeks of the year.

11. Washington (6-9) When fists are flying on your sideline, the playoffs don’t feel like the most pressing concern.

ELIMINATED

12. Panthers (5-10) Sam Darnold returned on Sunday, so the two-quarterback rotation looked different while the results remained the same.

13. Bears (5-10) Maybe Nick Foles should have been the quarterback all along.

14. Seahawks (5-10) Pete Carroll doesn’t think the Seahawks need a reboot, but one may still be coming this offseason.

15. Giants (4-11) They may have lost 34-10 to the Eagles, but it would have been 34-3 if they weren’t so inspired by news of Joe Judge’s 2022 return that they scored with four minutes to play in the game.

16. Lions (2-12-1) If the Packers are resting players in Week 17, winning two straight and finishing ahead of the Giants doesn’t feel like too much of a stretch.

[Mainevent]

Yeah, how about they both lose?

[chemiclord]

Eh, that's all dependent on the Lions winning in Seattle, which I really don't see happening. I have no idea why ANYONE is penciling in a two-win team as even a slight favorite on the road (especially since this is a team that is still winless away from Ford Field). I'll worry about the Lions somehow catching the Giants when that's anything outside of a mathematical possibility.

I guess you don't want the Packers and Cowboys both losing because that opens the door for the Rams to leapfrog them both and hurting the Lions later pick in the first?
