christ what a INT

but then a fumble

12/21/2014 3:47:03 PM

If you didn't see that Norman fumble coming you aren't a real fan.

12/21/2014 3:47:26 PM

Holding it like a dirty diaper

12/21/2014 3:47:51 PM

I knew that shit was going to happen with him holding the football out there

12/21/2014 3:48:18 PM

Hahahahaha. ^ for real

12/21/2014 3:48:20 PM

Would have been better to just drop the pick. 2nd and 10 from the 20 vs 1st and 10 from the 30.

12/21/2014 3:49:53 PM

Down by contact at the site of the pick?

He wasn't touched and immediately got up. Not down by contact

12/21/2014 3:52:23 PM

Left guard released Short right into Hoyers face. He must be on team Johnny.

12/21/2014 3:53:38 PM

Looked pretty close that he got touched by the receiver, last angle confirmed he didnt

12/21/2014 3:55:00 PM

Falcons just kicked a field goal to go up 23-14 with 1:56 remaining

12/21/2014 3:55:45 PM

Well I'll be a son of a dick.

12/21/2014 3:56:57 PM

Bye bye Sean Payton?

12/21/2014 4:03:38 PM

Gotta love the aints losing on that shit.

Also LOL at the wave

12/21/2014 4:03:55 PM

12/21/2014 4:05:18 PM

Somehow my panthers win the division bet is still alive!!!

PLAYOFFS START NEXT SUNDAY


LEGGOOOO

12/21/2014 4:09:01 PM

the sad thing is if we hadn't jewed ourselves out of the Atl game, we would have clinched today

12/21/2014 4:09:33 PM

Next weeks game flexed to Sunday night?

12/21/2014 4:12:42 PM

media types think it's a shoe-in

12/21/2014 4:16:33 PM

it's clearly a premier game: two teams with losing records battling to be a 4 seed with a losing record. it sells itself!

12/21/2014 4:20:22 PM

Nfc north battle next week, no way ours is flexed

12/21/2014 4:24:45 PM

Yeah but neither of those teams are playing for the playoffs. Our game has tons of storyline a for them to tout and talk about

12/21/2014 4:30:52 PM

That MMQB article acts like the AFC South isn't just as bad

Also, let's just intentionally lose next week. Draft picks > playoffs, amirite some of you?

Is that really necessary?

12/21/2014 4:42:36 PM

well, it is hanukkah

12/21/2014 4:46:37 PM

Technically the Saints aren't eliminated.

Saints win next week(likely) and we tie the Falcons, Saints win the NFC South.

12/21/2014 4:53:06 PM

isn't 6-8-2 better than 7-9 as far as %?

12/21/2014 4:57:45 PM

It's the same. So whoever has the tie breaker.. Us for division record?

" Even the specter of the 6-10 Saints playing host to the 12-4 Cowboys in a first-round playoff game at the Superdome would be almost indefensible for the NFL, especially if you’re Jerry Jones and you built a $1.3 billion stadium that goes empty that weekend."

Which is no different than any year since that stadium was built

I think the current format should stay. If you can't win your own division then you don't deserve to host. And I'm sick of the whining about 8-8 teams winning at home against 12-4 teams, because I've seen enough of those 12-4 teams lose at home to 8-8 in the first round.

12/21/2014 5:01:40 PM

3-2-1 vs 3-3. that's why they're eliminated.

12/21/2014 5:01:54 PM

That Norman INT was the best and worst INT ever. That guy could be a pro-bowler if he stops being retarded.

Stewart is an absolute beast. We should just IR DeAngelo.

What a crazy, shitty, fun season this turned out to be. Considering we started 3-8-1, it's amazing we're still playing meaningful football.

6/14 = .428
7/16 = .437

so no, it's not

[Edited on December 21, 2014 at 5:16 PM. Reason : or am i doing it wrong]

12/21/2014 5:13:06 PM

yeah you need to add in 2 games worth of .500 record which also brings it to .437 at which point it goes to a tiebreaker that i guess the panthers win

12/21/2014 5:21:28 PM

So apparently if we tie next week, we would be 6-8-2, and each tie counts as 0.5 wins and 0.5 losses for percentage purposes. So percentagewise, being 6-8-2 is the same as being 7-9. 7-9 is a .437 but then we have tiebreaker over New Orleans, and Falcons would be "6.5-9.5", which would make us 0.5 games better than them

Our current win percentage at 6-8-1 is the same as a 6.5-8.5 record, which is 6.5/15 = .433

Saints were eliminated from the playoffs today. Panthers are in with a win or tie.

12/21/2014 5:47:03 PM
