I'm sure everyne has seen this thing going around Twitter about how the top passers (by yards) didn't make the playoffs:



But of course you throw more when you're behind so it's probably not the best way to judge the top passers.

What if you look at RBs?

Most of the big boys didn't make it this year:

Gurley
Zeke
Barkley
McCaffery
Bell
Johnson
Mixon
Conner
Gordon

Kamara and Henry are in.

But if you look at who most would consider the NFL's best QBs, well they're pretty much all in with just a few exceptions:

Brady
Brees
Mahomes
Jackson
Rodgers
Wilson
Watson

And so on...

ً on Twitter: "@ESPNNFL interesting because the one stat that determines “top passer” has only one of these guys in the top 10 (and by top 10 i mean 10th) https://t.co/ka8XTDagTY" / Twitter

In the Playoffs I root against teams more than for teams.
Get Out List:
1. F'ers
2. F'ers
3. Pats
4. Whomever

I'm even okay with the Hawks and Saints. Payton is a pain but I like Drew Brees. He rubs some the wrong way but I like Pete Carroll. He enjoys the game.

I try to figure: Who has the best chance to beat the F'ers?
So I want the Hawks to win this week as the Vikings would most likely fold if its them. The Hawks must feel confident they can beat them. They do it twice without major brain failure. The Eagles just aren't good enough.
After that, the Saints probably give the best chance in the NFC title game with the Packers second.

Go Rams and Anyone Playing the F'ers!

I'm totally with you on this. I'll be rooting against teams much more than for teams. That said I hope every team in the NFC loses

It's definitely a process of elimination type deal:

SF, Seattle, NO, NE are at the top of the list and then you work with what's left...

The Packers got owned by the niners later in the season, so I hope that isnt their opponent in the NFC championship as I am hoping the niners lose that game or anytime before that lol. I also dont mind the Seahawks that much, hope they play the niners again and beat them.

i've decided it would be a lot of fun to see both the ravens and niners knocked out early, if not later, just as long as they don't makke the super bowl...

in other news, moron refs calling the opening kickoff a td, good grief....

Man, I don't know what the Bills coach was thinking. 4th and 27 with 1:45 remaining and all 3 timeouts. A little out of FG range. They go for it and get sacked for a huge loss and turn it over on downs. The odds of making 4th and 27 are pretty bad. If they punt and pin them back they could use their timeouts, stop them and get the ball back with good field position with over a minute left.

Then a head scratcher by the Texans coach. 4th and short and in field goal range they go for it and don't make it. So the Bills maybe lose a few yards of field position but they get it back with over a minute left.

A couple head scratching decisions by both coaches. If the Texans kick a field goal they'd be up 6 instead of 3. If the Bill punted they'd get the ball back probably close to mid field.

Bills driving. Almost in field goal range with 44 seconds. At least the game is interesting.

What a game. Allen taking those 2 sacks back to back was dumb but he did bring them back to tie it. Entertaining game.
