OK that is why you run the clock down and take the 3...

Schwartz might not have a job by tomorrow AM. Though this the Ford family, they kept Matt Millen.

Come on Bears, don't s*** the bed.

False start by the Pack, now they have a run off.

Steelers win!

Week after week, nfl coaches are absolutely stupid with clock management. On no level did that make sense.

I think Tomlin did the right thing. Running the clock down and all that involved too much risk to leave 7 points on the board at that point.

I think they could have handled it a little bit better though. 1:25 is a lot of time.

Packers Lose, Lions Lose..... OMG JUST WIN

I figured the home team would where the rights would go to.

 

Network has been based on the road team for as long as I can remember.

The Bears could win the NFC N tonight. And uhhh, I don't know if anyone's noticed but the Cardinals have an outside shot at the playoffs. What's the tiebreaker between Seattle and Carolina look like for the #1 seed?

Why didn't the Steelers just run the clock down and kick a FG? Now they have to play defense...

 

It's equally questionable why the Pack didn't let them score when the Pack still had a TO.

Risk missing an extra point? 2 kneels? The chance they give up a td is way way higher than not making an extra point.

 

When the packers want you to score, it's the wrong move.

7:15-7:45 was about the most riveting 30 minutes of football I can remember. Thank you Red Zone.

Carolina is 4-1 in the division, Seattle 3-2, I think that's the first tiebreaker if Seattle lost and Carolina won next week (they'd be tied in conference at that point).

I think they tried to, somebody didn't get the message though and tackled Bell at the 1.

Seattle beat Carolina so that's your tiebreaker.

 

EDIT: If the Niners, Panthers and Seahawks all tie, I do believe the Panthers are the 1 and Niners the 2.

Keep Calm and Bear Down

Ah, didn't see that game.

Seattle beat Carolina so that's your tiebreaker.

Unless Seattle doesn't win the NFCW.

They pretty much can't lose it in any situation where the Cardinals make the playoffs.

 

Arizona plays SF next week. The only way SF can win the division is if they beat Arizona.

 

Even then, there's a bunch of tiebreakers they have to look at.

It's also going to be hilarious when the Packers win the division with Matt Flynn as QB.

 

So if those three end up tied, the Niners win the division via better divisional record and the Panthers get the 1 seed over the Niners via the head to head win. At least I believe that's how it'd work.

Obviously, but assuming SF beats the Failons and the Bears win tonight, would that make the Bears the only NFC team in the playoff picture with nothing to play for week 17? They'd just be the 3 seed, end of story... right?

 

Kinda gives us a bye week which nobody else has the luxury of being able to do.

 

Edit- I just checked and I'm right. We'd own H2H against Philly/Dallas so no matter what: 3 seed. That could mean Arizona, which IMO will be tougher than you'd think,
