So we rooting for the Rams tonight right???

If that’s your idea of a good game thread title, I’m going to have to become a stoner.

True story.  In my younger days was at the end of an acid trip and was laying on the couch waiting for the inevitable crash.  My buddy passed out earlier.  So I flip on the tv and I see a white screen.  Then music starts to play but it's still just a white screen.  I'm still rolling a bit so I'm just staring at the screen trying to figure out if I'm tripping balls still.  All of sudden, little dots start appearing on the screen and the music begins to swell as the dots appear faster and faster.  I run and shake my buddy awake because I'm starting to freak out.

We come out of the room and he looks at the screen and says, "That's the intro to West Side Story you dumbass".

Like I fucking knew.

if they win, we move to #1 in NFC baby……come on Rams.

Not necessarily, dimple boy as you like to call him also has the same record, not sure how the 3 way tie would work seeing we don’t play the Yucs

What's the next tiebreaker?  Division record?

(I think)

It would be conference losses and we only have 2…Bucs and Cards would have more…

Div record or conference record?

13. Rock, paper, scissors.

14. schmoke some weed and figure it out later.  Speaking of which

Got really baked one night in dorms at UWM and someone had the bright idea to watch Andromeda Strain.  

Between the trippy “special effects” and never ending plot that’s like 7 hours of my life I never got back.  Or so it seemed like 7 hours of weirdness.

Haven’t watched it since.  I’m sure Feyda probably has 455 times.

If the Cards lose tonight It's a 3 way tie with the Brady Tampons. If the season ended tomorrow Pack is No. 1 based on better record against common opponents with the Tampons (Rams, WTF's ) and head to head with the Redbirds.

Not that it matters much. NFL Wants Brady vs. Bellichick SB. I watched the Tampon Bills game and the last quarter was a flashback to the NFCCG.  Horrible calls.

Oh you know behind the scenes the NFL execs and Goodell are sprouting wood just thinking about having the Yucs and Pats play in the SB.  I would gladly sit that one out.

So apparently Goldie has hijacked tonite’s game thread. My working title was:

EWE HOLD THE CARDS

…but now it’s not.

Sorry Blair, didn’t mean to hijack this thread…….and your suggestion??  Very clever.   

Thank you, Goldie 😂

NO KIDDING! Diggs gets his jersey stretched JUST LIKE THE CALL AGAINST KING in that infamous game, and NO FLAG!

Bills settle for a field goal and Bucs get lame ass PI call to benefit them leading to their win.

That why I don't think seeding matters too much. On an even playing field I think the Packers have as good a team as anybody. But unless someone knocks Brady's block off I don't see them getting beat. He stands in the pocket shooing pigeon's off his shoulder waiting for someone to break open. and if they don't get open throw it close and get the flag.

@JourdanRodrigue:  The Rams have added CB Jalen Ramsey and TE Tyler Higbee to the COVID/reserve list ahead of tonight’s game, the team announced.

Q: What the difference between the Rolling Stones and a Scotsman?

A: The Rolling Stones say "Hey, you get off of my cloud" and the Scotsman says "Hey, McLeod, get off of my ewe!"

Three or More Clubs

(Note: If two clubs remain tied after third or other clubs are eliminated during any step, tie breaker reverts to step 1 of the two-club format).

1. Head-to-head (best won-lost-tied percentage in games among the clubs).
2. Best won-lost-tied percentage in games played within the division.
3. Best won-lost-tied percentage in common games.
4. Best won-lost-tied percentage in games played within the conference.
5. Strength of victory.
6. Strength of schedule.
7. Best combined ranking among conference teams in points scored and points allowed.
8. Best combined ranking among all teams in points scored and points allowed.
9. Best net points in common games.
10. Best net points in all games.
11. Best net touchdowns in all games.
12. Coin toss

Was in a hockey tournament many years ago in Toronto and my team was tied with a Canadian team through all 10 tiebreakers with a trip to the championship game on the line. (There was no coin toss in the tiebreakers.) Organizers said it had never happened in the 20+ years of the tournament. We had to play a mini-game before the championship game to determine who would go to the final. We scored about four minutes into the session, went to the locker room for a short break, then back out to play the championship -- and won. Great times!

I don't think so either.  If you can't beat them in their place you don't deserve to advance.

Well, it's clever for him.

Don't praise him too much. He'll get all hubrisy on us.

If we win out, and AZ loses one game, we hold the Number 1 Seed.

On the down side, the Rams just seemingly put their entire team on the COVID reserve list tonight and are activating practice squad guys.

I blame OBJ.

This thread isn’t really about the game at all. So I’m all for BK starting the usual MNFer with some pithy title.

Hang on....

Yes, Goldie, we (or at least I) are rooting for a Rams win.
We need AZ to lose at least one more somewhere. Tonight would be as good as any.
