If the Rams don't have a blitz heavy gameplan they are stupid with how the Vikings have refused to adjust tonight

Yep, reminds me of when Hurts was getting blitzed last year and couldn't handle it.

 

[samFFC]

Is Gibbs playing for incentives? Seems to be the day for it - Geno Smith made $6m today, and Mike Evans made $3m.

Would’ve thought he has well and truly already made any incentives with the season he has had!

NFL contract incentives for Week 18: Mike Evans, Courtland Sutton among players chasing roster bonuses

Here's a look at some of the incentives various players will be trying to hit in Week 18

www.cbssports.com

This is the list of all players for week 18.

 

[pjcrows]

You finish 14-3 and travel to play a 10-7. That's tough, but that's the format, which I wouldn't change BTW.

 

[aussiedude]

The better question is does he have a worse rating than Will Levis haha

Somehow 50x higher QBR

 

[hutchy31]

Why are the Lions starters (or some of them) still in the game?

Campbell is a nutcase, but at least he’s consistent I suppose.

Definitely.
Adding the extra 17th game already knocks the fairness of schedule out, so really need to compare within not across divisions.

This season is a particularly unusual one though, given the Vikings have a much better division that Rams, and West v North was the intra-conference games.
If you were ever going to change the rule, this would be it.

It's nuts.

 

[aussiedude]

Didn't even wait to lay an egg in the playoffs for Darnold to play his way out of Minnesota

I overall like the rule. It puts paramount importance on division games.

 

[brutus76]

Gotta lose your mind in Detroit Rock City!

My favourite team to watch play - never a dull moment on offense and defense

Yeah don’t get me started we’ve had Tampa, etc host games with what 9-8 seasons at best. Actually a fan of the divisional leaders get the bye, then seed accordingly to record highest wins get the home games.

Rookie contracts don't usually have those sorts of incentives. Instead they get a higher 5th year option salary if they make Pro-Bowl or All-Pro teams

 

[aussiedude]

That must be the most demoralising beat downs a team with 12+ wins has ever had with the division on the line.

They celebrated too much lastweek and got slapped down to earth before finishing the job.

We also had 7-9 Seattle host 12 win defending champs New Orleans in 2010 with the beastquake game.

If the Vikings wanted to host a playoff game they should of played with pride today and fight for it. Win the division and sleep at home. Get in as a wild card too bad. Enjoy the hotel life for the post season

Snaps played is also a trigger for the higher option.

Don’t think they were ever winning they had a LOT of luck last week.

However what an abysmal game plan. Throwing the ball every play when their secondary is more banged up than a used car lot? Not taking points, a kicker can’t execute a kickoff, a missed FG, almost missed another one too.

Any change head coaches aren’t stupid away from home and get the basics right? Take the points early keep it within a score

 

[STFU Donnie]

Well done Detroit, although I am a bit disappointed that you're not playing the Rams in a repeat of last year's WC game. It would have been another chapter to the trade that keeps on giving.

 

[pjcrows]

Plenty of teams have gone the travelling wild card route to the Super Bowl.

Yeah hahah that Seattle one was farcical vaguely remember that year

This team won’t in fact almost tip the Rams. They give Stafford the opportunities they gave Goff and he’ll put 50 on them

May still get that game in the divisional round if certain results happen.

 

[aussiedude]

They beat the Rams on SNF for the division both finished 7-9.

Any losing divisional winners shouldn’t be hosting games
