Which is exactly why they don’t want to flex the game. They want as many games with playoff impact on at the same time- therefore each team plays to win and you give the least advantage possible. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not only a toss up as to who makes it in, but also where. Week 17 just got a lot more fun to watch. The NFL couldn't have asked for anything better than this week 17 slate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BearNorth Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 Two seed means two possible home games, in Buffalo, in January. McBeane need to keep the pedal to the metal, perhaps more snaps for the reserves, but eyes on the prize. And the Chiefs showed yesterday they are not almighty against a very pedestrian Falcon's team. Don't want to play Fitz, or Lamar in the first round. Cleve is a mess right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artem Lipatov Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 In all sports, When a team lose intentionally for choosing easier opponent in playoffs it almost always finishes badly. Don’t be afraid of anybody. Just win every opponent. It’s the process of building of winning spirit inside the team. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because I understand that injuries could absolutely kill everything and that is mission number 1. If we win this week, we will have to try and win next to secure the 2nd seed without any help. I would rather not have to play starters in week 17 to avoid Balt. We can avoid Balt and rest by losing both games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We still get the 2 with a win tonight and both us/pitt losing next week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is true if there is a point to winning the game like a higher seed. You don't want him rusty either so a little play is good.

I really think the Steelers are going to waive the white flag to the bills and rest their starters given the issues they have had. Colts won't lose to the jaguars for a second time the wild card to me is what the Texans can do to the titans. After what jj watt said after last week I think they play inspired and might clip the titans. Also ravens won't lose either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
