2024 Season Notes Wks 14 - 18

[Brian wolf]

With the benching of Kirk Cousins, you have to wonder if he was possibly trying to play through an injury? His lower body just cant enable him to push the ball like earlier in the year but I still feel he will be back for 2025. Will the Falcons give up on him? Will he waive his no-trade clause?

Could this be the end of the line for both he and Rodgers, or will both be ready to start again next year? Big opportunity for Penix and maybe the team can make a final playoff push ...

Big win for Herbert and the Chargers as they sweep the Broncos with a chance to make the playoffs. Especially down 21-10. Herbert, like Josh Allen, has had to adjust to new receivers this year, with Quentin Johnson having a better sophomore season.

[Sonny9]

Last year Hurts and Allen set the record for most rushing TDs by a QB with 15. Hurts has 14 this season with Washington, New York(N), and Dallas left. Three of the worst defenses against the run. He ran for 5 TDs against them the first time they played.

With the big win against the Steelers, the Ravens should win the division. The Steelers just dont have play-making receivers without Pickens and Wilson cant afford to make any mistakes which cost them today. Mike Williams still continues to be a non-factor and Porter Jr. is hurt as well ...

[Brian wolf]

Sheesh ... could there be three 200 yard rushers today? Taylor for the Colts is on his way in the 3rd quarter against the Titans, with Barkley having a big game against the Commanders. Connor for the Cards is having a big game against the Panthers. If Barkley reaches 200 yrds today, Dickerson's record will fall despite a 17 game season. John Turney's suggestion of records being based on yardage per game--and noted by the record book--makes more sense ...

Great win for the Commanders today, as Daniels seals the ROTY award. Despite bad defense today, this loss could actually help the Eagles, as they can re-focus on winning the division after a 10 game winning streak. I really felt Barkley would get 200 yards today but he still has a chance to catch Dickerson's record.

With the Rams winning and the Panthers upsetting the Cardinals, the pressure is on Seattle to beat the Vikings and stay in the western race. The Lions would relish a Hawks victory as well.

Chase for the Bengals is closing in a triple crown receiving year. I am one of the few people who believes he is better than Justin Jefferson, who has his own chance to make All-Pro again this season. With the Vikings win, they now have the longest current winning streak at eight games, with GB and Detroit looming.

The Bucs now have to hope the Falcons dont get hot their final two games with Penix under center ...

Are we sure the Chiefs are good or are they just insanely lucky?

[JameisBrownston]

They're good, but should probably have 5-6 losses. They won't be knocking Josh Allen out of the playoffs again this year.

The Bucs will almost certainly win out, while the Falcons are unlikely to beat WFT. Even if they do, though, is 10-7 still wildcard relevant in the NFC?

Tampa almost lost to the Panthers. It can happen again

[Brian wolf]

I actually feel the Falcons could upset the WFT. Penix has uplifted the team and has an element of surprise, with only his second start. We will see if the Commanders have a letdown after an emotional win. Both the Falcons and Bucs cant underestimate the Panthers. This team has alot of players trying to fight for whatever jobs they have left. Looking at yesterdays results, they dont seem to be tanking for a better draft position.

Once KC gets the home-field advantage, we will see a different team in the playoffs. Who has what it takes to knock them off after their bye?

Maybe the Steelers can find a way to upset them. I know he heals fast, but I dont buy the Mahomes ankle "injury". Like Elton John wrote in a song, "I've seen that movie too" ...
