Down to AZ and Chi.

 

[Southpaw]

Zimmer done. Thats one of the worst defensive efforts I have ever seen.

Pre game he uttered the following;

"Our defense is depleted" . Ouch. The guy was clairvoyant.

 

[TheCardinal]

Man... we really needed the Vikes to beat the Bears last week. Coulda clinched a playoff spot tomorrow if that happened.

So very true.

 

[TheCardinal]

Down to AZ and Chi.

Not so fast! TB and LA haven’t clinched yet. Sure, they’re close, but we DO have other ways in should CHI go 2-0 and we drop one.

If cards win out are they still guarantee to get 7th seed

If we win out, we are in the playoffs, and at least the 6-seed. Could even be the 5-seed if TB then loses at least once.

Ugh. Falcons just had to Falcon against Tampa.

We've dominated the NFC East so that would have been a great 1st round matchup
(4 vs 5)

Then again I'm still trying to figure out how we can beat the Rams.

 

[DVontel]

ah... so if the Rams win and GB loses, they will keep GB honest next week?

so basically we really need either a GB loss or a Seahawk win to keep GB honest.

Jags could also pull a Jets & somehow upset the Bears

Ill fly to the moon if that happens

The Jets, Bengals, and Chargers have all done something of late. You’re up, Jaguars.

I’m def hoping Trubisky falls flat on his face with some pressure on his shoulders again this weekend, but man... that Jax team is BAD and management is probably very motivated to tank for Trevor.

Jags management isn't playing. The players will do their best to win. This game has made me remember Cards-Vikings in 2003 (?) A couple of times this week.


That said, I fully expect the Jags to get destroyed.

 

[Hoodhero]

Cardinals need to take care of own business before I worry about Bears. Football gods never make anything easy for this franchise especially going to playoffs

The Packers still owe us a favor for getting them into the playoffs in 2003 with that Vikings game. I suppose two heart-breaking playoff losses to us later . . . Perhaps all is forgotten.

 

[football karma]

didnt realize that the only way the Saints jump the Packers at 12-4 for the #1 seed is if SEA is also 12-4

go SEA this weekend, as well as TEN

Yes, go for SEA. It would also give us a shot at a higher seed over Rams. That way, we could host the NFC Championship against LA.




I do think Tennessee beats GB.

jags management could decide which players could play or not play.

 

[Cheesebeef]

The Cardinals better not Cardinals this up and lose tomorrow to make all of this talk a massive waste of time!

 

[ajcardfan]

jags management could decide which players could play or not play.

I suppose so. I guess we can see if they put starters on the inactive list and elevate practice squad guys. To be honest, other than Minshew, I wouldn't know the difference.

I don't think it matters what they do. Jags will get killed. I would say them winning is about 5%, tops.

agreed. I think we’ll be white knuckling our way through the final Sunday of the season one way or another.

 

[TheCardinal]

A Seattle win over LA also has the added advantage of shifting destiny-control back to the Cardinals even if we do Cardinal-it-up on Saturday and lose to Frisco, and the Bears beat Jax. Then a win over LA clinches a playoff spot and puts the Rams on the hot seat, sweating out the CHI/GB game (assuming TB wins at least one).

 

[Absolute Zero]

 

[oaken1]

Isn’t that exactly what we always wanted?

I mean..... other than having playoffs clinched by thanksgiving


We got meaningful games the last two weeks of the season

Drew Brees becomes the NFL’s first 80,000-yard passer

In what could be the penultimate regular-season game of Drew Brees‘ Hall of Fame career, he’s capping it with yet another milestone.

Brees has become the first player in NFL history to generate more than 80,000 passing yards.

Bucs quarterback Tom Brady, with 78,457 passing yards, could catch and surpass Brees next year, if Brees does indeed retire.

Brady and Brees had been going back and forth in passing touchdowns, but Brady current has 573 to Brees’ 568. Brees has none today.

Brees missed four games with 11 fractured ribs and a collapsed lung. He still seems to be considerably less than 100 percent.

#Giants QB Daniel Jones, dealing with hamstring and ankle injuries, is starting tomorrow, per me and @TomPelissero
. It was headed that way all week, so no surprise. But it’s Jones vs the #Ravens.
