Panthers set to interview Jim Caldwell and recently fired Frank Reich.

This is what mediocre ownership lookalike.

Good lord why

Just keep getting it out of the way Dallas

Dak almost throws a pick-six and then actually throws it on the next play

also Jim Caldwell is a really good coach, the actual mediocre leadership was the Lions firing him, thinking making the playoffs in back-to-back seasons but not winning a game was beneath their standards

Dallas should be losing by 30 points but somehow it's only 13, so they could still pull this out if they care enough once it's clear Philly is going to win their game

Chargers were about to make it 21-7 and coughed the ball up, leading to it being 14-10 instead.

Also SF's defense is looking... Rather unimpressive yet again?

Speaking of resting players, I suspect Hurts doesn't come out for the second half... Which is why I placed him where I did in ladder.

Mike Williams just got re-injured right before the 2 minute warning.

I picked the nfc late games based off the lions making the playoffs btw

I want it so bad.

Everyone who's not a Packers/Seahawks fan does.

But it won't happen. Goodell won't allow it.

I picked the Rams and Packers just to make it extra crushing when Detroit inevitably loses

Denver's punter has been hellishly bad this game.

And they're a team that needs good punting!

Just like the Bucs, the Chargers lead 17-10 at halftime. This is when the Bucs stopped caring the game existed. Guess we'll see what Staley wants to do.

monstrous tbh

I actually think Detroit is more likely to win if they're already eliminated and have no pressure on them.

I picked detroit because I went with the better qb

I said what I said

famous last words

Uh.

Wilson just went from 2/9 to 13 pass yards to 5/12 with 88 pass yards and a 20 second TD drive.

What the hell

LeonhartFour posted...

famous last words

I believe my famous last words this season are "Tampa" 17x

Dallas scores right before halftime and misses the extra point

there have been 5 kicks in this game (3 XPs, 2 FGA) and 4 have missed

Got money on the Lions making the playoffs so let's keep this up Rams!

The Eagles are constantly getting in their own way on offense and should probably have like 20 more points than they do.

Oh the Broncos bookended touchdowns. Neat. Wilson is now 8/15 for 129 yards and 2TD.

Random fact of the day: The Broncos as a franchise has never lost 13 or more games in a single season.

The question is do the Chargers still have starters in. I'm going to need this game and probably Seattle too to even have a chance.

Though I swore to myself I won't look at anything for my own mental well being and I'm sticking to it!

And it looks like SF is finally putting the Cardinals away.

And the Chargers aren't resting their starters at all apparently even after Williams got hurt.

Looks like I picked the wrong split in these games.

And there it goes. Wilson picked with Denver looking to go up 10.

Knew at least one was coming!

And then a pick by Geno in near-field goal range weeee

It doesn't look like Staley has any intention of pulling any players out of this game and is fully selling out on trying to win.

Why didn't Tampa do this?

I am now awake

go ramnz

Tampa didn't do this because Brady probably vetoed it since he's smart enough to know there's no value in winning this game

I feel like you'd have to force Brady to sit to actually get him to sit!

lmao

seahawks shoved the guy into their punter and they called the penalty

This feels really similar to how Broncos/Chiefs looked last week. Denver is ahead for a lot of time, but can never make it two scores, and you're just waiting for the other shoe to drop.

Also the Giants apparently only trail by 10?

Oh wait it's now 31-20 Denver.

GO AWAY ALREADY STALEY.

Looks like this is leading to a go-ahead TD too. Ouch.

Chargers pull starters, take an easy 3 and out and punt, and Denver muffs the punt to give them the ball almost in the red zone.

...Really?

The Chargers quit trying to win when down 31-20, so Denver muffed a punt and it's immediately 31-28.

Is another team I'm on about to have a spectacular chokejob?

....And Denver fumbles.

The Chargers effectively conceded the game and the Broncos don't want to win.

Just win so I can be sad later instead of now.

HE LITERALLY DIDN'T EVEN DO ANYTHING. HE STOOD THERE! IS STANDING UNNECCESARY? WHY DO I ONLY GET TO EXPERIENCE HOPE AND JOY FOR THE PAIN TO HURT SO MUCH WORSE?

sigh :(

Geno literally ran into a defender and got a penalty

such bullshit lol

fix is literally in tbh

Gj Seattle kicker

DON'T PLAY WITH MY HEART, FOOTBALL. PLEASE DON'T MAKE ME BELIEVE AGAIN AND SNATCH IT AWAY

:s

A washout and a double washout? Wow.

Texans hiring Lovie Smith, a triple washout, was ALSO not a good move (but still better than Josh McClown of all people). More teams really need to find a guy who's a proven winner. Mike McCarthy, for instance,

Or the Rams could put up an epic stop.

Nice edit.

Holy moly! (I'm rooting for the Seahawks so the Lions have nothing to play for - I am sorry Lions fans, but GO PACK!)

Eagles only won by 6? Really?

Again, Caldwell has winning records in both of his stops, one of those being Detroit. He was fired for not winning enough (which for the Lions is absurd).

He's not a bad choice for a coach

Cover that spread!

there have been 4-5 calls/no calls in the 4th/ot that are like uh... so blatant lol

Chargers aren't calling timeout.

I GOT AN IMPORTANT ONE RIGHT

I wont lie, I feel kinda fucked over if I end up losing by 1 due to rams/seahawks

every single call went against the rams...

And Seahawks win.

Maybe, just maybe, I'm still alive after that godawful 1pm slate.

Man, my dreams of a Lions/Jags Super Bowl are dead before the playoffs even begin

RIP

let's try to knock GB out of the playoffs at least

either we win and have a (miniscule) chance at the super bowl, or we lose and I don't have to watch us get massacred by the 49ers (again)

a win win situation

If only.

Well as Camden just brought to light... I need the Packers to make the playoffs so I can make the playoffs.

This feels like a slimy, uneviable position to be in but goodbye small chunk of my soul.

I feel like I lost every debatable game except for Colts/Texans so I'm probably not getting a bye

My bucs homerism/rams being screwed/missing one game earlier this year means I am out after a very good early slate

oh well, another fun year

Full list of games next weekend

Chargers @ Jags
Ravens @ Bengals
Dolphins @ Bills

Cowboys @ Bucs
Giants @ Vikings
Packers/Seahawks @ 49ers
