Tomlin is a pretty good and probably mildly underrated coach, inasmuch as he's pretty bad on game day (and he continues Cowher's tradition of being utterly inflexible) but he's pretty drat good at identifying and coaching up good players.

Here is your easy cheat sheet on what needs to happen for the Chagers to make the playoffs!

Week 16:

Ravens over Colts :neckbeard:
Rams over Titans
Patriots over Bills
Chargers over Jets

Week 17:

Ravens over Bengals
Jaguars over Titans
Chargers over Raiders
Dolphins over Bills IF the Bills beat the Patriots in week 16, if not, this game is irrelevant

Hmm, that's got me thinking: who's worse, '08 Detroit or '17 Cleveland? Just at a cursory glance:

Average score:
Detroit: 16.75 - 32.31
Cleveland: 14.79 - 25.86

One score (<=8 points) games:
Detroit: 5 (only one game within a FG, which they lost by two...where this happened)
Cleveland: 6 (including 2 OT losses and 4 games lost by a FG)

Cleveland seems to be much more competitive in their losing, based on those hopefully-not-too-arbitrary numbers, but Jesus Titty loving Christ they managed to lose during their bye week in spectacular fashion.

Watch as the Bears gift them a win.

The odds of that happening are nil and Green Bay would eat a fine/draft picks being taken away if there is any punishment (which there almost surely won't be).

But for the sake of argument what type of contract would Aaron Rodgers get on the open market? He is 34. He is coming off an injury. He's also Aaron Rodgers and plays a position that ages better than most.

The wife and I decided to come down to New Orleans alone for Christmas instead of being stuck in Philly. Now I’m worried if I continue to have Old Fashions that I’m going to get tickets for the game tomorrow.

Or the lol option to me is watching the game at the Manning restaurant.

You can do a hell of a lot better than Manning's.

Homers can be confusing. The Browns Reddit homers are MAD about the 0-16 parade. Man you need to get a sense of humor if you are upset about that.

As I read it, the league, if it finds a violation, doesn't have leeway on the punishment, it's spelled out - the player gets released. So they can't use a lesser punishment to get around it, they have to pretend nothing happened.

i’d like to think the Browns wouldn’t claim him cause they’re the Browns.

also, it just occurred to me Rodgers is around the same age Favre was when the Packers drafted him. maybe it’s time to move on (please)

I think so. However-

that article posted:

The NFL referred all inquiries about the situation to the Packers, who have declined comment.

which means the NFL isn't going to bother enforcing the rule. At the most, the Packers are going to say that Rodgers had a complication or something in the game and that's why they IRed him.
