Game Thread: WEEK 18 Final chance to get in

[sonnyblack65]

Congrats to the Jags and their fans. I am rooting for you guys. You can thank Carson Wentz for the fact that Doug Pederson wound up being fired by Philly. Things were not working out in Philly and as is often the case, the coach got fired before the star player with the big contract. We can all see now who deserved to be fired and who was actually good.

Pederson is the perfect coach to develop Trevor Lawrence. Short of the QB whisperer Andy Reid, I am not sure there is anyone better at that in the NFL today. Pederson relates to players, and they actually like and respect him. People forget that this guy played for Shula, Holmgren, Belichick and Reid as a journeyman NFL QB, that he was in the QB rooms for years with Marino and Favre. He's been around some of the best to ever do it as coaches and QBs and he learned a thing or two.

Lawrence is going to become a top 10 NFL QB, maybe top 5. He certainly has the talent. If they can continue to hit on draft picks Jacksonville might be scary in a couple of years.

Heard a stat where he was a coach that has taken the last 2 teams that had the #1 overall pick to the playoffs. This season obviously as HC with Jags and as OC with KC in 14, pretty impressive.

Agreed. I think it’s too early too soon. Lawrence was meh tonight. I could see that again in their first playoff game. But now Lawrence gets that box of first playoff game checked and with another solid off season and year 2 of the system, they could be involved as a contender as soon as next season. Goes to show you that it doesn’t take long in the NFL to change up that trajectory.

Getting franchise QB will change any teams fortune

Congrats to the Jaguars, and those that predicted their division title.

My prediction was way off.

Pulling for CIN (11-4) today vs BAL (10-6) to avoid any of that coin flip stuff.

Ya just what the AFC needed. Another decent team led by a good QB...

 

[BritishDolfan]

Buffalo should beat NE today. Whether Miami can beat NYJ is a different question, although obviously I'm hoping so.

I'm on the opposite side. Some fans tears are the reason.

Right, I love it when people make decisions and then feel wronged by the consequences of those decisions. One of my favorites, it's even better when they blame others for the consequences of their own decisions. Victim mentality is awesome, especially the tears.

Skylar Thompson time!

Disney movie start to the Bills game.

[Moab]

I guess the Bills decided they had a game to play today and feeling sorry for themself wasn't an option...

Leaning on Mostert early here, and it's working so far.
