We in this hoe.

Colts have to be one of the only teams to ever start 8-2 and miss the playoffs, right?

He just said for all the announcers here on the NFL network … and I swear I thought he was gonna say we are totally bummed and pissed off that Houston won.

Eisen

"Oh my!!! Oh my oh my!! That's one that you could leave the handkerchief in the pocket!!!"

Well, that was a fast alert.

So what do we want to happen tomorrow now?

Philip Rivers came out of a 5 year retirement for nothing.

I do like the old school charger unis.

I like their Oiler blue ones as well.

Need ? Nothing . Want Jax to lose tho to have a shot at Division title .

I gotta give Rivers much credit . Out of shape … several years removed from NFL … still balling . The guy is pretty hard not to like imo.

These announcers are claiming they're not bashing the Texans, but they are. Saying they didn't earn it. But they had no problems with the penalties against the Texans.

I would assume the Jags to lose so we can win the division with a W over the Colts unless there's some benefit from being on the road due to matchups in the first round I'm missing.

I do wish the Texans had gotten more touchdowns though.

They started out so well.

Did they say the illegal contact was on the inside route and not the outside WR? Were the announcers looking at the wrong DB? At a bar and can't hear. Thanks in advance.

The problem is the Colts are now eliminated, so them beating Jax tomorrow might be tough.
But also should mean they'll be no problem for the Texans next week.
That would mean we'd need Tennessee to shock the world to get the #3 spot.

So right now, it's Bills #5, Texans #6, Chargers #7. That would put us at Jacksonville in the first round.
But the Bills have the Eagles tomorrow and the Eagles are still trying to move up. A win by Philly and the Texans are up to #5 with the possibility of playing at Pittsburgh in the wild card assuming the Steelers hang on to win the North.
Our defense vs. Old Man Rodgers would be a really favorable matchup.

Oh my dear lord, the post game is complaining about the refs and they should let the players play. And the Texans should have earned it and not been given it. HOLY ****ING ****

---

Turned that **** off as soon as the game ended, but not surprised at all…they can go kick rocks.

Yep, heard it and it was absolutely hilarious…they completely memory holed the exact situation that led to the TD that even pulled them within one score…also the other sack that was negated on that drive where Allen slipped and fell in the end zone.

The announcers are like inexperienced refs getting caught up with the home crowd.

Plus Pittsburgh has lost their last 6 playoff games.

Where is this Ravens game, on Peacock? Who the hell has this channel?

Eat a d-, Harbaugh. Love to see that weird ass cheater and sexual predator enabler get his ass handed to him by Houston for the second year in a row. Maybe "ass handed to him" is a bit strong but that's two upsets in as many years by the Texans.

Assuming we don't win the division that's the matchup I'd want too. Both Love and Lamar are out for tonight's game.

Love due to a Bear illegal hit to the head that cost DE Austin Booker his second fine of $5,818 for such conduct.

https://athlonsports.com/nfl/green-bay-packers/nfl-announces-punishment-decision-jordan-love-injury

Booker signed a 4 year 4.36 million dollar deal in '24,
14-15 more of those sort of hits could make a league minimum $ type of player realize he's been penalized almost 1/10th of his salary if they all happened in the same season.

He'll think twice before eliminating the opposing team's best player in that fashion again, likely to savor it.

You just have to hope the yards penalized matter situationally as far as preventative measures currently in place.

It shows you that true PbP guys are REALLY good at their jobs.

Long winded-post incoming.

Texans Bingo Update

Much like the AFC itself, the race to win Texans Bingo is coming down to the final week of the season. Two more squares activated today: Texans make the playoffs and Nico > 1,100 yards receiving. Here's where we are right now and what's possible Sunday and in Week 18.

Things on the Bingo board that can still happen that were picked by at least 1 person:
Texans win the AFC South
Nico <> 8 TD receiving(currently at 6)
Cowboys <> 7.5 wins (currently at 7)
Texans play/don't play an OT game
The Browns / The Field are the worst team in the NFL. The Giants and Raiders are currently 2-13. Cleveland, Arizona, the Jets, and Tennessee are all 3-12.
Texans get a punt return TD
Texans get a kickoff return TD
Nico <> 80 receptions (currently has 71)
Bills get the #1 seed (still possible)
Derrick Henry finishes #1 out of the 4 picks for rushing yards: He's playing tonight and entered the game 3 yards ahead of Bijan Robinson
Texans get the #3 seed
Texans get 19+ interceptions (remarkably, they currently have 18)
Jahmyr Gibbs rushing TD leader: currenltly leads with 13 through 16 games; actually Henry has tied him tonight.


Here is the current leaderboard, along with how many possible spaces each person has left.

1. wessimo: 10 total / 4 open


T2. KidDoc: 9 total / 5 open
Johnny Foosball: 9 total / 3 open
Faustus: 9 total / 3 open
AlwaysNextYear89: 9 total / 3 open

T9. 3B Paul 97: 8 total / 4 open
dbryanc87: 8 total / 2 open

Mr. Bond: 6 total / 2 open
Pahdz: 6 total / 4 open


T23. AggieJ2002: 5 total / 3 open
DOB: 5 total / 4 open


So clearly a lot of people still have a shot. The tie-breaker we all picked at the beginning of the year was who has the best record in the AFC and what record is. Everyone who picked Ravens/Chiefs doesn't have a shot at the tie-breaker, but 13 picked Buffalo. The Bills are currently 11-4. Several people picked them between 12-5 and 15-2, so it will definitely be a photo finish.

That's a Bingo!
