Baker Manziel sux.
Full stop.
So... SF101, my sincere apologies being late to the party (having tracked this thread for a bit and not picking up on your subtly).
"Baker Manziel"?? really? Maybe I'm the lone Browns fan on here (please toss your darts gently), but that fish just doesn't swim.
Associate Baker with whom you like, but there is zero association to Manziel (when it comes to the Pro level). Manziel struggled to complete 8 friggin games over 2 seasons (injuries & constitution aside)? When he jockeyed to the CFL he threw 4 INT's in his first start (BY HALFTIME!) - dude is a train wreck (and I'm not even mentioning his off the field crap over the years!)
I'm not gonna quote Baker's stats, but he's head and shoulders above Manziel (I get it, they're both about the same height) + on the precipice of a playoff bid (which I think they'll get in the upcoming weekend) since HOW MANY YEARS!
Not the same comparison as Watts to Tony Chapman (you gotta know what I mean on being a Stones board), but Mayfield will stick in the league for a fair piece down the line IMO, which pales in horrific comparison to Johnny Manziel.
Full Stop.

I was really saying it in jest and to rag on Mayfield for choking vs. the Lowly Jets.
Not a Baker fan...never was. I wanted Josh Allen.
Baker's far better than Manziel, however...that's without question.
However, he's clearly the weak-link on the current Browns squad, IMO..
I love the Browns! My uncle was drafted by the Browns!

Go Browns! (I think we are the only 2 Browns fans here)

The usual scenario babble going on but it looks like the Saints will finish second, especially considering that Kamara is out for the last game and first game of the playoffs.

Sounds like the whole Saints RB room is going to be out.

Looks like I'll be spending all day tomorrow watching football! Living in BC, from 10am til 8pm at night! Lots of channel surfing in the morning among all the games.
Hoping for a Bears win to get them into the playoffs but I'm sure Aaron Rogers will own them like he has his whole career.

I'm all about the Bears & Panthers today (& Seahawks of course!). While remote, the Hawks have a chance for the number 1 seed in the NFC. GO HAWKS!

LOL with the Panthers losing and the 49ers losing and... the Packers losing, well, that's a decent scenario for the Saints. That much more time for Brees to heal up and Kamara would be ready. The only way for the Saints to win it all is if they are on for all 3 games. They're such a weird team.
Week 17 prediction:
Miami will lose to the Bills and be eliminated while Indy wins and is in.
Packers beat Bears and Cardinals beat the Rams, Bears out, Cardinals in.
Saints win, finish 2nd.

Do you think the Saints are going to use Taysom Hill at RB?

Most likely this is click bait but Ian Rappaport is reporting that Detroit is going after Seahawks GM John Schneider & another team also. Schneider is under contract for next season but has an out if another team were to offer total control. In Seattle, Pete Carroll has final say in personnel matters but since he & Schneider have been in lock step most of the time it hasn't been an issue. Pete is under contract until 2025 but Schneider hasn't been extended yet. I'm sure its in the works. Rappaport seems to be one of those guys who is so intent on scooping the competition that a lot of rumours get reported that don't have a lot of basis in reality. I'd be shocked if Schneider left Seattle. He has a great situation here. The exception would be if Green Bay offered him the GM position there as Schneider grew up in Green Bay personally & professionally. While ownership is stable in Seattle under Paul Allen's sister (she's a huge Hawks fan) & seems to be following her brother's operating principles it's not out of the question that she would sell the team. The smart money is on Jeff Bezos as the next owner. The NFL wants him in the ownership group real bad, especially Jerry Jones. Maybe it would be a good thing but I have my doubts. I think Bezos would be way more hands on as an owner which isn't a good thing a lot of the time.

Yes.
If Giants win and Washington loses the Giants host a home playoff game.
And if Dallas wins and Washington loses the Cowboys are in the playoffs.
If Washington beats Philly they are NFC East Champs with a home playoff game.

If the Dolphins lose will they still be in the playoffs?
