Any teams open up?
WE'RE BAAAAAAAAAAACK!!!
AND THERE'S NO TIME FOR STALLING!!!
"THE GAUNTLET" IS OPEN ONCE MORE!!! LET'S GET RIGHT INTO IT!!!
PLAYOFF PICTURE (as of 12/2/14 3:35 am EST)
NFC!
AFC!
We've got plenty of potential fireworks this week as the playoff picture begins to take its final shape!!
KEY GAMES: WEEK 16!!!
PIT @ CIN - The Steelers have survived a rocky stretch over the middle of the season, && find themselves tied for the AFCN lead despite getting swept by the Ravens! However, that 0-2 against Baltimore has Pittsburgh on the outside looking in, && they must defeat the Bengals in Cincy to avoid possible elimination from postseason contention!!! Can the Bengals play the role of spoiler successfully!!! *POTENTIAL PLAYOFF ELIMINATOR*
NO @ JAX : Incredibly, the Jaguars can STILL win their division with a 7-9 finish!!! They look to keep their slim playoff chances alive as they welcome in the 9-5 Saints, who are in the final NFC WC spot && looking to hold off the Cardinals && Cowboys, earning the privilege of playing some January football also. *POTENTIAL PLAYOFF ELIMINATOR ALERT* #GeauxJags
SF @ GB : The Packers represent the NFC's other wild card team at this moment in time!! At 9-5 && just a game back of the North leading Bears, but a loss away from possibly ending up on the wrong side of the playoff picture, Green Bay takes on the already-eliminated-yet-upset-minded Niners at Lambeau!!!
NE @ PHI : This old Super Bowl 39 matchup pits another team clinging to playoff hopes against a potential spoiler!! The Eagles, after monstrous upset wins over playoff hopefuls New Orleans && Dallas, look to make it 3 in a row when the 8-6 Pats arrive at The Linc!!! New England is just a game out of the AFC WC spots...*POTENTIAL PLAYOFF ELIMINATOR ALERT*
DEN @ OAK : At 9-5 && with the Steelers && Pats hot on their heels, the Raiders must keep winning if they indeed want to punch their ticket to the postseason!! Last time they played Denver this late in the season with those same dreams intact, the Broncos shattered them in an epic Week 17 win at Mile High that kept Oakland sitting at home!! Not even a full year later, the Silver && Black can atone for that agony...but will they??
MIN @ CHI - The Bears are possibly the surprise of the league at a NFCN-leading 10-4!! That puts them in the third seed in the conference, && a win this week would seal the division crown!! But you know last year's NFC champs, the Vikings, would love to ruin what would be such a joyous occasion in the Windy City on their way to the offseason!! *BEARS CLINCH NFCN WITH WIN*
GAMES OF THE WEEK!!!
NYJ @ BAL - The Ravens can taste it!!! They know how close they are to making the playoffs && earning the chance to compete for the franchise's third World Championship!!! Tied atop the AFCN at 8-6 with PIT, Baltimore welcomes in the tough, rugged 9-5 New York Jets in what could possibly be a Wild Card Round preview in the AFC!!! Who makes the early statement, && who falters && possibly puts their postseason plans in jeopardy??
IND @ HOU : We can laugh at the AFCS for seemingly an eternity (as we have, && probably will continue to do ), but they still must ultimately decide a division champion, && this may be the game that does it!!! It's 6-8 vs 6-8 as the Colts look to duck the sinister swing of the hammer by which 8-6 Houston has become known!!! DOES ANYONE WANT THIS DIVISION CROWN???? The winner of this game will likely be the #4 seed in the tournament...but how fitting would it be if this one ends up in a tie?
ARZ @ SEA : Welp, the Seahawks entered the week back atop the NFC by tiebreaker over Carolina, after the Panthers lost a WILD one at home to Washington last week (more on that soon)!!! They look to kill two birds with one stone this week (maintain their lead for HFA, && possibly put the final nail in Arizona's coffin), which is ironic because the focused 9-5 Cardinals invade the Pacific Northwest!!! The Cards have the same records as WC holders GB && N.O., but lose out on both tiebreakers!!! Can they pick up a MONUMENTAL win against the 12th Man && keep their postseason push alive???
AND...THE MAIN EVENT FOR WEEK 16...
9-5 WSH @ 8-6 DAL!!!
After a thrilling stretch of wins against playoff teams && hopefuls alike, in both dominant && last second fashion, Washington is peaking at the perfect time, && hold the NFCE lead by a game over the Cowboys!!! Fresh off of the 'upset' of NFC powerhouse Carolina, the message for RGIII && Co. is simple...
WIN (THIS GAME) && YOU'RE IN!!!
The Skins can close the division door with a triumph in JerryWorld!!! But you don't think those Dallas Cowboys will just ride quietly into the non-playoff light, do you????
At 8-6, THE TIME IS NOW FOR DALLAS!!! A win means that they live to fight for one more week, they can extend their season with a de facto playoff win against their NFCE nemesis!!!
But...a loss this week...&& it's NO shot at the NFCE crown...
NO shot at the playoffs at all...
Just America's typical result for America's Team; a December collapse, && a cold, cold offseason with speculation if Jason Garrett will be retained as head coach...
THE GAUNTLET IS LIVE IN ARLINGTON, TEXAS, AT BEAUTIFUL AT&T STADIUM!!!
WE LOOK GOOD ON THIS JUMBOTRON!!! BUT NOT AS GOOD AS THE ENSUING MAYHEM IN ONE OF THE LEAGUE'S BIGGEST RIVALRIES WILL!!!!
YOU REMEMBER THE LAST CLASSIC BETWEEN THESE TWO!!!
NOW, IN THE SEQUEL...CAN THE SURGING SKINS PUNCH THEIR PLAYOFF TICKET && OFFICIALLY KILL THE COWBOYS' POSTSEASON HOPES??? OR WILL TONY ROMO && DALLAS MAKE THEIR LAST STAND FOR ALL OF US TO SEE?????
I hope you're ready, competitor...
The table's been set, && as you can see, the number of teams sitting at it is dwindling...FAST.
There's only one question left to be asked, men...
Are YOU next????????
But don't tell us, show us!!!! For some of you, this is your biggest proving ground yet!!! For others...
This is your final resting ground, should you lose...
It's in your hands, competitor...&& YOU, are in...
