I feel like the absolutely pathetic way the Browns lost last week is still really fresh in people's minds even though it should probably be a point in their favor because they were the better team outside of Mayfield.

Also if the Browns lose and/or the Bengals win, we may end up with a Week 18 where every division is already decided and so none of those games will matter. Actually, I guess we also need Rams win/Cardinals lose, but still, I don't understand the scheduling here. They could've scheduled Titans/Colts, which would be likely to matter, but nope, let's go with Colts/Jags and Titans/Texans instead. It's clear they were hoping for Ravens/Steelers to be the regular season finale looking at all the games they scheduled for Week 18. --- https://imgur.com/WqDcNNq https://imgur.com/89Z5jrB ...

They also need a Saints loss or a 49ers win but they'll get that. The 49ers clinch with a win and a Saints loss. All playoff spots, divisions, and both #1 seeds can be clinched this week, leading to a week 18 with basically no drama. And this weekend's spread heavily favors Cincinnati/Cleveland to be the game of the week next week because everyone else is going to have clinched. The Colts beating Vegas clinches it for both them and the Pats. The Bills would also need a Chargers loss or a Ravens loss. The Bills will need to beat the Jets to get in, the Bengals need to beat the Browns to get in, the 49ers will need to beat the Rams to get in, and the Chiefs/Packers will need to beat the Broncos/Lions to lock up the 1 seeds. That's probably all we're getting next week. I believe the "week 18 is meaningless" scenario requires a Dolphins/Titans tie. --- So a planet's somewhere out there, their history the same as ours is written. The only difference is that...

We kinda already knew Wentz would be in. It's been a non-story all week. Same for Lamar Jackson.

0 people are currently on the Jets tomorrow. Shock!

This is what the other league mostly looks like: Buffalo Bills Chicago Bears Kansas City Chiefs Tennessee Titans Indianapolis Colts New England Patriots Tampa Bay Buccaneers Philadelphia Eagles Los Angeles Rams Los Angeles Chargers San Francisco 49ers Dallas Cowboys New Orleans Saints Seattle Seahawks Green Bay Packers Pittsburgh Steelers LOCK ALL There are 6 people with that right now, and another 2 with everything the same except for Miami.

Everything says that Dallas should win this game. They're the better team. They have the better matchup. Everything says that Arizona should keep backsliding, given what we've seen this year and what we saw last year. Kliff has a sub .333 winning percentage in the back half of the NFL season. He doesn't make the necessary week to week adjustments and is getting outcoached. Dallas got blown out at home by the Broncos and dropped one at home on Thanksgiving to the Raiders as really big favorites. Arizona is 5-0 as the underdog this year and has won all 5 games by 10+ points. I want to pick Arizona, because this feels ripe for a Cowboys letdown. I kinda think the letdown DOES happen, but Dallas finds a way to take it ugly anyway. This may turn into two teams beating themselves. --- So a planet's somewhere out there, their history the same as ours is written. The only difference is that... Everyone's a kitten! ...

2 of the 3 games they lost on this skid are against teams over .500, including one against the rams. And they've gotten better each year since Kliff has been there, along with Kyler. I'm just saying, feels a little knee-jerky to say kliff is the problem. They were the top pick 3 years ago for a reason, and it wasn't the coach. --- I'm a greener egg than the eggs from dr. seuss ... Copied to Clipboard!

Eh, Kliff has routinely made questionable in-game decisions. Like yeah, the Cards are better than they were before he got there, but that doesn't mean it isn't fair to question if they could be even better with a different coach. Again, I don't expect Kliff to be fired, but it's troubling that his teams get worse at the end of every season.

Kliff is not part of the solution at Arizona and I feel like everyone kinda knows it by now honestly. It's not a matter of if. It's a matter of when.

I think it'd be something like 3 games in the US, 5 games in Europe, 3 games in the US, 5 games in Europe. Remaining game of wiggle room. US teams would only travel to Europe at most twice a year. Perhaps once after a TNF game and once before their bye week. Logistically there are ways to make it "work". It's just not great. You also won't have players who want to actually do it. But this is really why it requires an actual division to really work. The teams can just stay there for 3-5 week stretches playing each other and playing similar US teams. --- So a planet's somewhere out there, their history the same as ours is written.
