RACE TO THE PLAYOFFS

[dtgold88]

Almost pointless to try arguing with you cause it’s like talking to a toddler who has no knowledge but has to write down previous games as if they make up the whole season. You really are dumb as fuck. Have you watched the rams lately? They would beat the browns and Cincy and Pitt right now and took the top team to overtime and had a punt return cost them the game

Once again still..."that's none"

I have watched the Rams. Been impressive. But they are 1 of 4 teams in the NFCW that has a 4-11 record vs. the AFCN. Oh, and as I keep telling you your comments are all baseless opinions with no facts to back it. does the best team in the division getting manhandled by Bmore at home count or nah? Oh, Browns hung with them into the 4th in LA with DTR and PJ Walker playing QB. They now have a QB who has been better if you hadn't heard.

Idea you would call anyone a toddler is like Augustus Gloop telling a kid he has a weight problem.

My head hurts after reading the Bills scenerio...

Depends on how KC looks down the stretch. I could easily see each NFC game being more 'interesting' as you have two NFC East teams drawing eyeballs and you have Rams vs Lions with Stafford.

KC-Buffalo have had some compelling games so pretty sure they get it.....do think Rams-Lions gets the #2 slot. Maybe both on sunday?

KC-Buffalo probably does get it assuming that Tay Tay doesnt break up with Kelce and Kelce is playing. I do think the Rams-Lions game has the best football narrative, though.

I think every Chiefs RB is listed as questionable or on IR right now. Rookie starting at LT. WR situation a mess all year. Not a lock that the Chiefs even make the playoffs with the hot mess that their offense has turned into. We kinda need a Joe Flacco moment out of the team.

I hear ya with way they are playing....but I'm confident they win division.

I think it's still like a 96% chance they do just that.

I am just patiently waiting for the offseason to nuke that WR room. Then again, Mahomes has made something out of seemingly nothing for a long time at this point.

well I know of two that needs to go definitely.

I agree that if these standings remain as is, the best TV matchup is probably KC-Buffalo. But personally I'm liking both of the 5-4 matchups. It's quite possible, maybe even likely that the two road teams will be the favorites.

Two years ago, Los Angeles Rams lost to the Green Bay Packers in GB and turned their season around after a 3 game losing steak. This year, the Los Angeles Rams lost to the Green Bay Packers in GB and turned their season around after a 3 game losing steak.

I could see that and sure I'd love to see Browns against AFCS winner but cannot imagine that would be a high priority for most fans.
