Because many people think Case is a serviceable backup on a heater while Teddy will get them a ring. I think Teddy is the long term answer for the Vikings at QB but Case is playing well enough that it's not easy to just bench him.

i wonder what side some people would be on if teddy was the starting qb of an 8-2 team putting up above average rate stats across the board this season who then got benched for someone whose last action was finishing 28th in any/a two seasons ago

this is not to imply that bridgewater cant become a good qb but nothing supports making a change right now

Teddy is a free agent at the end of the season.

He's probably closer to out of the league than starting again. NFL doesn't like him much and his leg is shot.

I'm a teddy fan too but let's be real here.

Is Teddy a free agent next year? I think due to the injury and PUP list Teddy was on this season the Vikings may get him another year at his $1.354M 2017 salary.

Yeah, losing Okafor is tough, he was a real solid find in free agency. Saints were down four defensive starters by the end of the game Sunday. It will be very difficult to keep up the level of performance they've shown if that doesn't change. (Especially if Lattimore misses any time; apparently the secondary collapses without him.)

Eh, the Rams have been playing very well too, although against lesser competition. I'm hoping the Saints can live up to the level of performance they've established this season.

Jacksonville has a realistic chance at the 1 seed. Their schedule is pretty soft the rest of the way; if they win out, NE loses @ PIT, and PIT loses @ BAL, they get it.

Saints had more until teams with winning records started losing, but they still have the blowout of the Panthers in Carolina and the blowout-that-then-almost-wasn't over Detroit.

Yeah, pretty much this.

Have you just not been paying attention to the last month of Teddy news or something?

#BortlesFacts

Blake Bortles has more starts this year than Teddy Bridgewater

He was 1 Case Keenum career game against the Skins away from starting against the Rams last week.

He's literally active on game day, the Vikings still consider him the QB of the future, and wheatrich is talking about how he's basically out of the league, lol

I know +3 is the HFA rule but seems like there's a difference between the better home field advantages across the league and the Rams/Chargers LA situation where you have opposing teams coming in and drawing the crowd noise?

Bros,

What happens if in overtime the first team kicks a field goal with 0:00 left?

I assume it's over. I was at the Saints game on Sunday and the ref announced "Each team will get at least one possession unless a touchdown is scored on the opening possession or time runs out," or something like that.

Thanks dude!

Yes. I think it was the NYG/KC game that the ref gave the UberHochuli explanation that said the same thing but lasted longer than the overtime period.

The browns to make the playoffs odds articles from cbs and 538 are lazy and incorrect as **** today. They don't need any ties at all and there's actually quite a few ways to get there and a lot of their claims are just plain wrong as to what the browns need.

That said, it's silly to argue simply because as the browns absolutely do need to win out, nobody goes 7-9, and the bills do need to beat the dolphins once and lose every other game and a few teams like texans/raiders absolutely can't win 6 games. (the Jets can win 6 it doesn't matter, the article was written by an idiot) some of the other teams it ends up being specific games to beat cle for the tiebreaker instead of "must go 5-11" but that's just these days where you push the article out rather than accuracy since nobody cares.

Trying to get both Browns and 9ers in with no ties I couldn't do, the Dallas Oakland game screws it all up.

it seems very likely at this point. prepare thy anuses.

not to mention really ****ing stupid and pointless

Revis Island (which these days is really more of a peninsula) is headed to Kansas City.

more like revis island sunk to the bottom of the ocean

Wheat rich, but joke poor.

How much money did he screw the Jets out of?

None, they parted with it willingly.

Was gonna get on Saints +2.5. Most of the Rams success this year has been against awful comp. Against decent to good teams they've struggled. Jury is still out on how good they are. But Lattimore sounds like he is trending to be out on Sunday.

what on earth are you talking about

this.

As much as fans like to think so, crowd noise has little effect on HFA (seattle and some of the domes that cheated with extra noise are prob exception to this). That said, I highly doubt that vegas considers the Rams HFA a full 3 unless they are playing a team from the east coast or something.
