***Week 17 Discussion***

16-0 or rest the players out of fear of injury. It really is a tough call. I wouldn't want to be the one making that decision.

[homedawg]

easy fellas.... j/k... There's still, no reason for nep to play any starters this game, with risk of injury... Get through this game and get ready for the playoffs... Multiple networks gonna televise this game, doesn't mean I am gonna watch it.... :beer2:

[Angelus]

If BB wanted to get the respect, from the public back, he would have his team down the ball every play of the game and let the gmen win... that record is gonna be tainted if he wins... f'n cheaters.... :drunk:

You have to be kidding. No coach who decides to down the ball every play and LET the other team win would ever get any respect from me.

There's a game to be played. Go out and win it.

[Shamrock]

Some local Eagles news.......

Andy Reid said at his news conference he wants to finish this tough year strong and so does his players. So he is keeping the starters in and let them fight for a win.

I dont know if this impacts anybody's decision, just putting it out there.

Sham........

[Shamrock]

I completely disagree. They got caught doing what every teams does or has done.

that is correct............

they are 15-0 and will be 16-0 because they are NASTY..........

I'm an Eagles fan, not a Pats fan, and I can admit that no videotape of the Jets giving signals or any other team giving signals made the Pats 15-0. They are simply an offensive powerhouse that have steamrolled teams. Brady is an amazing QB and leader and this is his first year with multiple weapons and he is proving that.

Quit it with the cheating BS, its old.

Staying away from the NE/NYG side...to many unknowns...

pit can win, and still wont get the 3rd seed, unless sdc loses.... why should pit try????

They won't have to try against the 2nd & 3rd stringers of Baltimore. Their starters were bad....how good can their injury replacements be? We've seen some the past few weeks, and get even more this week!

[homedawg]

the big tuna showed up at yesterdays practice.... :beer2:

[homedawg]

UD....the Bolts certainly have something to play for...they need the win over the Raiders to get the 3rd seed and more importantly...avoid the Jags, and draw the much easier Browns/Titans!!

Record:

pitt 10-5 @ bal
sdc 10-5 @ oak

tiebreaker 1 head to head: N/A

tiebreaker 2 conference record:

pit 7-4
sdc 8-3

if pitt wins their game, go to tiebreaker 3, common opponents record:

nep, den, jax , bal:

pit 1-3
sdc 3-2

pit can win, and still wont get the 3rd seed, unless sdc loses.... why should pit try????

:beer2:

[homedawg]

i may be wrong, but dont seattle and TB still have something to play for? aren't they fighting for the 3rd seed and to see who doesnt play nyg? they are both dogs and i wasn't sure.

sea wins the tie breaker, beat tbb game 1.... why else would atl be favored...:laughing:

11/18 was @ dal -----> TR & TO 28- Skins 23...

no TO this time, and TR, if he plays, will be limited... wtf does dallas have to prove???? why did the books set the line so high????

this m/u was late in '05 @ washington, both with something to play for, now there is nothing for the boyz to play for... and what happened in that game???? skins big!


:drunk:

[akatdrake]

I just can't see the Skins winning big in a rivalry game unless Dallas decides to sit their entire OL and get Johnson/Romo killed. My only play will probably be a one-unit on the Dallas ML.

[homedawg]

IMO, skins win big.... :beer2:
