Week 15 Discussion Thread

49ers - Seahawks kick off the week.

The next 2 weeks will feature Saturday games as there’s 3 this week and then regular slate next Saturday with Christmas falling on a Sunday and only 3 games airing that day.

Should start to see more playoff berths get locked up.

With a win tonight, the Niners would lock up the NFC West.

Maybe it’s because of the longer season but it feels like more than one team should have clinched a playoff spot by this time of the year

It's partially the longer season and partially the back loaded division games. They factor so much in tiebreaking.

I like Purdy. Dude looks pretty solid so far.

I don't think it has anything to do with either to be honest. Just good parity which I think we all would agree is good.

EDIT: Actually, I think the backloaded schedule has a lot to do with it, but to clarify, I don't think it's because of the potential tiebreakers. At this point it's still anyone's season so we aren't really waiting for many tiebreakers to play out.

I'll try and copy and paste but here's where we were last year at the same time (same conditions as this year including backloaded division schedules).

Zero clinched playoff spots (but one more eliminated team if I'm not mistaken)

That’s not roughing the passer. C’mon.

Re: Week 15 Discussion Thread

That is not Roughing the passer man. What is Bosa supposed to do. How?

The excuse was. Bosa's weight was on him. The excuses just get worse and worse.

Jealous of the system the 49ers have him in.

Re: Week 15 Discussion Thread

The Seattle loss put the Lions in a pretty good position to move in to the last wildcard spot by the time next week’s games are over

I understand the desire to get a little more out of the QB spot than Jimmy G can provide, but the results he gets from guys outta nowhere like Mullens make the Lance trade look so bizarre.

Kyle just took his dad's system that made random halfbacks into studs and stud backs into Hall of Famers, then did it for QBs lol

Re: Week 15 Discussion Thread

Zach Wilson is starting for the Jets due to the Mike White injury. This is the worst case scenario for the Jets, having to go back to Wilson while White was playing well. Seems like it will inevitably lead to him getting benched again.
