NFL Week 13 thread -- Cold weather calls for Isotoners

Whoa, whoa. Let's not say things we can't take back now

 

Absolutely nothing. That’s why these tanking claims are just sports radio hot takes.

 

That’s impossible.

 

Management does. Coaches and players are not wired that way.

 

Out of self-preservation, if nothing else. If a player is half-assing it on the field he's likely to get his head taken off. It also shows on his game tape when he's looking for his next job. Roster spots are too precious a commodity to tank as a player.
Coaches might be more insulated from it. Once you're in the NFL coaching fraternity you can usually land on your feet somewhere if you're fired. But I'd have to think if it's known you were complicit in a tanking job, or advocating for one, word would get out around the league pretty damn quick and you'd get a black mark next to your name.

 

Well- the Seahawks just killed by Survivor pool entry. Thanks guys. A lot of weird games today, results and otherwise.

 

It is a colossally stupid call. The Jets were not getting to Carr and you leave an undrafted free agent on a player with sub-4.3 speed. If you rush 3, you have deep safety help and the game ends with a Raiders reception inbounds.

 

Tanking

 

The once-execrable Giants suddenly are in first place by half a game ahead of Washington (which plays the Steelers tomorrow), own the tiebreaker with the Football Team (swept it), and have a decent shot at not only the division title but also a first-round home game against a team it could beat.

 

Well given how the world Has conspired to ruin the Steelers and now the Football Team has first place to
Play for, I’m going to be bold and say, Take The Steelers

 

I'm thinking I should have said the Jets Leroy Jenkins'd the game. Would have saved me grief from you and Poin claiming I was OOP2 Electric Steeleroo
