Packers-Lions NFCCG at Lambeau. I don't even care what happens after that.

Wanvig posted:He played a little last week, but has missed practices this week because he said he reaggravated his knee injury in the game. I don't listen to sports radio so I don't have the best grasp of the atmosphere in Houston fandom, but there's been more than a little talk about Clowney's work ethic. He allegedly held himself out of extra games after doctors cleared him to play when he'd recovered from his Week 1 injury, prompting Bill O'Brien to start calling him "Dr. Clowney". Then last night in a press conference he dropped another frustrated "I'll have to consult Dr. Clowney" comment when asked about his status this week. Congrats, you somehow regurgitated the most sports media-esque hot take of this whole situation somehow without even listening in.  Clowney's knee swelling up on him isn't something he can control, and he never missed a game in college so it's not like he has this history of being injured. If you want any insight to his work ethic as an issue, look up @PatDStat on Twitter; he does film breakdown of Texans games with Vines. His take is that the narrative on Clowney's work ethic or lack thereof is just that: a narrative. Even the "Dr. Clowney" thing is just O'Brien making a joke about the uncertainty of the player's status before a game. He did the same thing with Foster more than a month ago, as well as Swearinger back in September. Anyways, my personal hope for a perfect finish to the season would be a combination of the rookies improving, finally winning the Indianapolis away game, and Watt winning DPOY if not outright MVP. bhsman fucked around with this message at 01:42 on Nov 29, 2014 |

Even if we could somehow pass Indy, we have no quaterback and would get destroyed in the playoffs, the only thing to still hope for this season is players healing and getting a good quarterback someday, so... Every game JJ Watt gets his hands on the ball at least once (either defensively or offensively) and we get to watch him run it in for a touchdown while stiff-arming and just loving leveling everyone who gets in his way like they are little children.

Yeah, once Mallett went on IR and we lost to the Bengals, any outside shot at the playoffs to me lost priority to just having the team and rookies improve in lieu of next season, especially considering the amount of training camp reps Xavier and JD lost due to school and injury, respectively. If we somehow still got in, awesome, but that would exceed my expectations for the year that I had before the season started.

- Arizona and Detroit get to earn byes - Dallas vs Philadelphia Part III in the Wild Card - Atlanta goes 5-0 in-division and 0-10 out...but lose to Carolina in Week 17 - Green Bay make it because Rodgers is cool - Dallas upsets Philly so Romo gets some damned love from the media, and they head to Arizona - Green Bay wins and heads to Detroit - Arizona whoops Dallas with their stifling defense - Detroit whoops Green Bay with their stifling defense - Arizona wins a thrilling overtime match to set up the hometown Super Bowl - Denver and New England earn byes - Cleveland wins their first division in forever - Watt, with some Clowney help, storms to a division title - Pittsburgh and Baltimore sneak in because AFC North surpremacy - Cleveland avenges close to two decades of angst with a Wild Card win vs Baltimore - Pittsburgh win a thrilling overtime match without controversial calls - Cleveland upsets Denver to exorcise the ghosts of the 80s - Pittsburgh upsets New England to finally win in the playoffs vs Brady, and put a dent in Foxboro mystique - Pittsburgh wins a thrilling double-overtime match in Cleveland, which somehow ends with both fanbases not turning on each other, and sets up many years of Pit vs Cle AFC CGs - Pittsburgh wins a thrilling Super Bowl in Arizona, featuring Antonio Brown dragging a single toe in the back corner of the end-zone while one-handing the 43-yard touchdown pass thrown by Roethlisberger while emerging from the grasp of several Cardinals rushers with 0:00 on the clock to make the final score 23-21. Polamalu and Harrison and Keisel and LeBeau retire on top. Also I have 3/1 in Super Bowl Squares. - Cleveland wins Super Bowl in 2016 vs Detroit.

Jim Harbaugh spontaneously combusts after Kaepernick throws a game-ending pick against the Raiders. Greg Roman is caught in the blast zone and burns long and hot because he's a fat dirty grease fire.

Christ Pseudoscientist posted:The Raiders need to lose out and clinch the #1 pick. The Jags, Titans, and Bucs all need to win a few games so that the teams with the #2 and #3 picks are ones that are willing to trade up to make sure they get their quarterback and the Raiders don't have to drop too far and can grab the best non-QB in the draft. All of this verbatim. However since I live in the Bay Area it'd be nice to beat the 49ers only for bragging rights.

I just want Cam to make it through the season without being irreversibly broken (aka going full Delhomme). I'd think that isn't too much to ask but two or three more Eagles-esque "performances" by the offensive line and it is possible.

This, but we're relying on the Dolphins not to blow it :/

The Patriots beat the Giants so decisively in the super bowl that a force ripples backwards through time and changes the 2007 and 2011 SBs to Patriots victories. After which all New York sports teams + Stanford are disbanded and laws enacted to prevent them from ever starting again.

Catfish Noodlin posted:Dolphins hire a quality head coach, or at least one whose prior job experience couldn't be best described as "Administrative Assistant, Football Operations" I honestly have very few issues with Philbin this year. If our defense didn't collapse a few times late, we'd be 9-2. Also, the game plans and adjustments are always really solid. It's just been execution holding us back.

Most people know that, while if they can get in, they have a puncher's chance, and it might not happen this year. So, with that in mind, what would be an ideal end to the season? I've seen how the Lions did against the #1 seeds, and they lost to both of em. I want Lambeau, for all the marbles. If they can't get over that wall, they deserve nothing more than what they get. I want an end to all the jokes. I want the Lions to stuff one down their throats. It probably won't happen, but we'll see.

Really? I'll take any reality where Cleveland makes the playoffs. There's that old saying about "Beggars can't be choosers". Well, this is definitely correct in our case. Get us there and let us start to build this team so we're no longer an embarrassment to pro football.
