Great Week 17 in the NFL - plenty of great meaningful games. Playoffs aught to live up to the hype.
NFL: ***Week 17 Thread***

I'm a Vikings fan too. I'd take Orton! Ponder needs to go away. Hopefully we draft a qb...again.
We've got the 8th pick. I want a qb too. I wonder if some trading could be involved.
From what it looks like, I wouldn't be surprised if we ended up with Manziel. Bridgewater is likely going to the Texans.
I think I'd rather the Broncos play the Chiefs honestly. Chiefs in Denver in January sounds like good odds in my opinion.
Rewatched the Chargers fake punt several times now, the runner's helmet was off before the ball came out. In the NFL the play is dead as soon as the ball carrier's helmet comes off. Plus, the officials ruled forward progress was stopped.
That one doesn't matter since the NFL botched the too many men on one side on the missed game winning FG. Should have been 5 yards and a retry. Most likely game over, Chiefs win and Steelers in playoffs.
Since the Chargers lost a game earlier in the year when the officials called a bogus "covering the center" call that cost the chargers a game, I wont sweat that too much. I guess it evens out in the end.
As a Chiefs fan, I'm kind of happy that SD made the playoffs. They are capable of making a run in the playoffs. Plus if the Chiefs and Chargers win next week, the Chargers would have to play Denver while chiefs get NE
IF both win that, then Chiefs could possibly host a AFC championship game. Long shot I know.

It's amazing that a division that has been pretty bad for quite a while has three teams in the playoffs.

Yeah, I'm with you there. I really, really hope they don't go for Manziel. He's got bust written all over him. I do hope they make a move for a QB though, whether it's through the draft of free agency. The offense has talent. Cordarrelle Patterson is going to be a stud. Hard to believe, but his rookie stats are actually very comparable to Percy Harvin's first season. Slightly fewer total yards, but more touchdowns. And Percy was the Rookie of the Year. Very happy with Cordarrelle's progress.
