NFL Week 17: What Have We Learned?!

[Saysumthinfunnymike]

Historically, the Niners are one of the most viewed teams in terms of TV viewership there is. Lamar Jackson might not even play for the Ravens. The only reason why they chose Ravens/Steelers is because it's a true "win or go home" game vs. a game that's about seeding

I’m in a group chat with 3 Eagles fans and went I said he wasn’t top-10 they all jumped on my head. That SB win justified that belief in their minds but man, I just don’t see it.

As they should.
What exactly do you need to see?

You sound like a fan of the 49'ers or Seahawks....Since you asked

1) The potential of Aaron Rodgers final game
2) Lamar Jackson>Purdy>Darnold

'

3)Derrick Henry
4)Much more -to-resting rivalry between the Ravens and Steelers
5)Nobody wants a repeat of Darnold Week 18
6)Can't have back-to-back Sunday Night Football games at home

No offense Seahawks vs 49'ers is going to be terrible from a neutral POV....I'm a watch because I love football, it's not a game for ratings or the casual audience

ehhhh like I said this ain’t the NBA, nobody cares about individual players like that

The SF 49ers are a bigger national brand than then Steelers

This is like getting hyped for a Play In Game with the Hawks vs Heat

They’re definitely putting Aaron on prime time in a game like this. His first year as a STEELER?? in a win and get in game? In a year with no Mahomes? Aaron is getting the prime time game lol

Not to mention the Ravens getting prime time games 3 weeks in a row...
It is what it is....

Why does the NFL think anyone cares about the Steelers in 2025?

49ers vs Seahawks should've been SNF

The Steelers/Ravens game is a playoff game. They will always prioritize that over playoff positioning.

The NFL likes de facto playoff games for the SNF finale

Plus Aaron and Lamar are big stars

 

[T.he I.nformant]

Panthers or Bucs will host a playoff game. Imagine if one of them make it. Imagine if it’s like Steelers vs Bucs or Panthers. I never really buy into the dominant team shyt, look at Indy this year. Who knows wtf will happen lol. Are we even sure who’s even a Super Bowl lock this year?

That’s why they play the games. That’s why they’re interesting. It’s not predetermined, at least I hope not. May the best team win.

I think its more to it... as the 49ers game will get more ratings..

You have to give him credit for how he played in the Super Bowl both times. He showed up and played extremely well. However, it's a team game and that Eagles defense was the real difference maker.

Many of these brain-dead Eagles fans would rather defend Hurts and say he's top five than recognize that he's limited in many ways. I'm not saying he's a terrible QB, but I would take 10-15 QB's over him without thinking twice. But, I don't want to beat a dead horse, especially because it seems like some of those same Eagles fans that would defend him to the bitter end are finally recognizing that he is very limited.

With that being said, I would not be shocked if he had a very good 3-4 game run come playoff time.

That was a whole lotta

just to end up bending the knee anyway

dude been fence sitting playing both sides all season so we dont get on his ass if we win again just like last year

 

[King Poetic]

I rather have tampa/panthers sunday at 1 with niners/seahawks at 4 then you go right into ravens/steelers at 8

Put chargers/broncos on Saturday and another fukking game

I've been consistent all year.

I've said my pick from the AFC was the Chiefs, and the NFC would be the 49er's or Eagles. The Eagles have the best roster top to bottom, but with a questionable QB. Saying I could see Hurts having a good 3-4 game run isn't bending the knee when he has more weapons than nearly every QB. It's damn near impossible not to succeed with those weapons..
