NFL 2023: Season Discussion Thread NFL

[Birdman]

Houston is playoff-bound!! They beat the Colts last night in a "win and in" match.

CJ Stroud is just class. He is going to be a top 5 QB soon.

Spectacular throw from CJ Stroud on their first possession and another really good one to keep the drive going in Q4 that produced the game winning touchdown.

Couldn't believe the Colts opted to throw on 4th and 1 when Taylor had been ripping up the yards all night on the ground. Bizarre playcall.

SNF is also a real banger: the Bills can win the division with a win over Miami but if they lose and Jacksonville wins in Tennessee they are out of the playoffs altogether.

My ideal scenario is that Buffalo and Tennessee win. Don't want the Jaguars into the playoffs and I'd rather see Stroud in a home game in the Wild Card round. The Bills can be dangerous as division winner as well and I want them to be in.

Ravens
Chiefs
Bills
Texans
Dolphins
Browns
Steelers (a bit meh without TJ Watt but okay)

49ers
Eagles
Lions
Buccaneers
Cowboys
Packers
Rams

Surprised the Lions aren't resting some players but they may be able to rest them soon as they are in control against the Vikings.

I like it. I'm not a fan of resting too many players. I think momentum is key as you hit the playoffs.

Baker Mayfield injured?

I think that answers some questions on whether Trevor Lawrence is fit or not!

Just seen it's a "suspected sprained MCL" injury for TJ Watt which sounds both minor and season-ending at the same time

 

[Birdman]

Jaguars in danger of missing out on the post-season all together. They are trailing the Titans 21-10

Houston would be division winners and the Bills and Steelers would be in the playoffs if things stay the same.

Ruled out. Hopefully not a season-ending injury as he's had a phenomenal rookie season.
