The Eagles instead of the Giants again.  What the fuck.

Whatever.  I’m watching the Jets.

That doesn't make sense.  506 is showing that the region has both NY teams.  I haven't heard of any switches to Eagles/Commanders unless it took place at or after 12:59

We're watching the Giants/Falcons game.  Those poor Giants fans.  The team looks so bad.  I want to see them beat the Falcons, but it's looking bleak at this point.

My phone has helpfully been giving me alerts about how poorly things are going for my Blue.

Hubby’s a fan, for some reason.  Hate hate hates Rodgers, tho.

Well, the Ravens sure pulled a NIMBY on the Steelers.

It was difficult to comprehend that since starting for the ratbirds it's Lamar Jackson's first win over them in regulation.

Based on the rest of the schedule, the opportunity for Lamar to regain the lead permanently for the second straight MVP is there for the taking.  Or not; since a non QB won the award, everyone that's won it played for a team that was the Top Seed for the most part.  About 9 for 11 times.  The other two teams were guaranteed a divisional playoff game at home (so as long as they didn't lose the week before).

Lamar and company are too good of a team NOT to beat their division rival, so that outcome was long overdue.  Meanwhile a lot of rather crazy fans in Western PA are crying as if they lost to a 2-12 team & wanting to fire everybody.

Then there's Washington, who like someone else can't seem to maintain control of the ball.  Turnovers happen, but many double efforts toward reducing that number if you were hoping to pull an upset.

Let's see, watch two playoff contenders or watch a 2-12 team that's likely to lose its 10th straight game?  Yeah, I think we know what the better choice is.  Any masochists who want to watch the Giants can find another way.

[mojoween]

There is no other way for me to torture myself that I can find.  Least not free.  Sigh.

Philadelphia fails to be the first NFC team to clinch its division.   Washington with a BIG win!  After 5 turnovers!

Great news for Detroit (and Minnesota).  The AFC had a chance to clinch all of theirs on Saturday before the NFC even clinched one, but Pittsburgh couldn't get it done.  To be fair, Philly probably could've clinched last week, and the AFC North should be coming down to the end anyway (Baltimore lost to Philadelphia, a rare Ravens loss to the NFC).

Plus, the leaders in each of the NFC divisions are close to each other (in a good way for the NFC North & not so much before NFC South).

Finally, we had a chance to have all spots secure in a conference for the first time in at least a long time, if not in NFL history.  Cincinnati survived so that may come to the end (unless Denver wins its next game).

By the way, better luck next year, Dallas!

[Salacious Kitty]

Yup. Dallas, Niners, and Cards all eliminated. 

[Crashcourse]

Yay Washington!  I think we really do have a QB in Jayden Daniels.

I hope Hurts is ok though.

[Salacious Kitty]

I heard Hurts left the game but not the nature of his injury. Does anyone have an update?

It's been reported that it's a concussion.

Kenny Pickett is ass. I don't want to hear one word against Jalen Hurts again this season in both Philadelphia and National media. Pickett should not be on any football field again, I hope Jalen is good to go next week but if not Tanner Mckee should play. 

Not having Hurts completely changes the Eagles offense, Pickett definitely not a threat to run.

As a Steeler fan I feel your pain.

This was hopefully just one game. I'm sorry you had to watch him for full seasons.

Ian Eagle - there is a certain group of fans who were excited that today’s games features Drake and Josh.

Snerk.

In both games I watched today when the refs called PI they said “by rule, the ball will be placed at the spot of the foul” (or “by rule, because the foul occurred in the end zone the ball will be placed at the one”) and I don’t recall them calling that out before.  All it does is remind me that it is the DUMBEST rule, and PI should be 15 yards or half the distance like college.

Good day, the Vikings won, the Eagles lost and Jonathan Taylor balled out(and held on to the ball) to lead my fantasy team to victory.

[Chit Chat]

Argh!  As usual, the Bucs are tanking on Sunday night football.  What is about playing the night games on primetime?  WTH, Bucs!  Okay, they've still got a half to go.  Fingers crossed over here.  🥹

I'm sorry, Chit Chat.
