I wouldn’t count that chicken yet. It was good to see vintage Swift, but I’m not sure that one solid performance at home against a team with a terrible defense that is 3-13 is indicative of sustained success. 7 carries for 31 yards against the Vikings the first time around, 5 carries for 6 yards against the Dolphins and 5 carries for 19 yards against the Bills all stick out to me. Those are three games where he was active, lost by a collective 11 points, any one of which could have been a win with a stronger and more consistent rushing attack.

I think the Rams have a real shot at beating the Seahawks. The Seahawks aren't that good, and the Rams have nothing to lose and everything to gain by shutting their divisional rival out of the playoffs. I think that both the Packers and Lions are both better than any of the Vikings, Bucs, Giants, Seahawks, and Commanders right now. It's why you have to win games like the first Minnesota game, the Miami game, and the Seattle game though (not a complaint).

Now watch Stafford get activated off of IR for the week 18 game against the Seahawks to deliver us to the playoffs.

In his post game presser, Campbell said that he hoped Green Bay won today so that they could have a bigger game next week. I think if you’re faced with a single game you need to win, Campbell is the perfect coach. May not be able to do that same thing a number of games in a row but you give him one game, he’ll get 1000% effort out of his players for that one game.

It’s possible the Seahawks/Rams game gets flexed to a Saturday game.

That was PI, no? No replay here but Chark was rolling around on the ground when the pass arrived

Houston is something special

This team could be really special next year

A few times now.

Gotta make everybody here feel included. 😉

It’s electric in here. Haven’t let up.

Has anyone heard of Quinn XCII? The halftime performer? Literally never heard of him.

Houston is turning into an absolute beast of a find

I’ll get to tell my grandchildren that I was there the day the Lions forced a punt.

The Back Judge had nothing on that somehow. He was bailed out by the deep wing.

Time to outscore the opposition

I fell asleep at like 10 and woke up at 12:01 to the sound of fireworks and the sight of Ohio State floundering its way to elimination

I wonder how much of the putrid performances by both teams can be attributed to taking a month off before this game.

It’s hard to really force a player to play. That rule might stop them from posting “I’m going to X” and getting a head start on work with X (which would probably be helpful in another way), but I don’t think they would be any more likely to play for Y in the bowl game. It would just be a badly kept secret that they were opting out with an intent to transfer.

It’s hard to be disappointed with a 13-1 season. I wonder if this - and an NIL chunk of change - incentivizes Corum to run it back. They win this game with him in the backfield.

Put another way, the officials may have been the best of the three teams on the field, despite their mistakes.

I’ve got a hard time pinning a loss where you give up 51 points and 4 turnovers (2 pick sixes) on referees botching a spot by a half yard or not throwing a penalty flag.

Meh. If you get the ball at the 1/2 yard line 1st and Goal and immediately cough it up, that’s on you.

It’s not like they deserved another chance but that sure looked like targeting to me

That was pathetic.
