NFC Playoffs update:
5 seed: The Fighting Lil Bs 9-5 OVR 4-0 DIV 6-4 CONF
Remaining games: Vikings 10-4, Lions 2-12
6 seed: Slot Cheese 9-5 OVR 3-3 DIV 6-5 CONF
Remaining games: Colts 9-4 Vikings 10-4
Bubble Teams
49ers 9-5 OVR 3-2 DIV 6-4 CONF
Remaining games: Rams 10-3 Packers 0-13
Saints 8-5 OVR 1-3 DIV 5-4 CONF
Remaining games: Buccaneers 5-8, Giants 6-7, Falcons 9-5
Of note, with about 2.5 weeks left no one has clinched a division and unless my math is wrong I don't think anyone can clinch this week. I think every team sitting at 7-6, 7-7 is still sort of alive but they require so much help that it isn't even worth thinking about (except maybe Az who could probably make a run at the South).
The big thing to notice here is that at least 2 good teams out of these 4 will be left at home.

The Dolphins are gonna blow a first rounder on a running back.
I didn't include any of the teams with less than 9 wins except eznark. I did mention that all teams with 7 wins are still alive but they don't really directly control their own destiny at this point.
Your path to the playoffs, and that of everyone else at 7-6, is to go 3-0 and hope that Bowser/FMT/eznark/LilB all lose at least 2 more games.
By no means was it meant as a slight.

Math is below, but if Saints win this week current wildcard seeding goes to
Fifth seed: Saints (9-5)
Sixth seed: 49ers (9-5)
Bears (9-5)
Cowboys (9-5)
With a three way tie we still go all the way to conference win percentage, with Cowboys getting kicked out of the three way tiebreaker due to him having a 1.2 conference win percentage vs. me and FMT's 1.5 win percentage.
When this happens we go back to the two man tiebreaker rules with me getting the fifth seed over FMT due to H2H and FMT getting sixth seed.
And this isn't including if Saints win this week, causing a four way tiebreaker.
Interesting notes.
If Bears take division away from Vikings with two wins, Vikings get put into the wildcard where they will face Bowser in the last week of the season for the final wildcard spot. Of course this isn't including what ever record the Saints end up with, which might either launch a two way tie or a three way tie for the final wildcard spot. Also, this doesn't include the possibility of FMT losing to Rams next week.
So, yea, clusterfuck with too many different variables to do out in ones head.
Long story short, win out your games, let god sort out the rest.
EDIT:
Doing possible four way tiebreaker for this week, currently all the way down to the Strength of Victory (Cowboys are out due to current conference win %)
Current Strength of Victory tiebreaker if Saints defeat Bucs this week (This will be updated when the week is completed and all the other games are done as to update each teams record)
Saints: 1.196
49ers: .974
Bears: .900
Going back to two man tiebreaker after I'm out gives Saints the edge in Common Victories with a record of 4-1 vs. 3-2 (Eagles, Seahawks, Bucs, Lions)
Of course, this is all based on if the current wildcard seedings stay the way they are, one loss or win throws it all into whack, but there is a very real chance based on the upcoming schedules that the four teams in the wildcard race go 1-1.

If I'm DM, I lay down against the Saints to set up the ultimate grudge match in Week 17:
Winner take all, Eznark vs. DCX
Soka's Jets have a real stake in beating Rinsler, too. Drops that wildcard in the AFC East to minimum six losses and lets the Raiders make their own destiny

wildcard in the afc east what? Rinse is winning the division unless he loses twice and I win out.
I know it is extremely unlikely. It is just week 15 and I'm not mathematically out yet and that is a thrill!!!

Did I forget to broadcast it after resetting my modem?
GG Cola! Cameron has a lot of fumbles. I can't stand that show 2 or 3 wide come out with only the QB behind center, then hurry up on top of it. But man my O was lucky today. Every big pass was because ure guy bites and misses a pick. Besides that 56 TD Landry TD which was a curl but I threw it before he broke so it became a fly.. Sealing it like I did felt good. I audibled to HB dive twice to seal it on two 3rd and 5s. The D was just perfect for it.
Tannehill: 104.5, 15/24, 210 yds, 1 TD, 0 INTs
Miller: 22 carries, 82 yds // 1 rec, 8 yds
Landry: 5 rec, 104 yds, 1 TD
Lucas: 4 Tkls, 1 INT
Grayson: 44.3, 14/28, 190 yds, 1 TD, 3 INTs
Lucas: 6 carries, 28 yds // 2 rec, 28 yds
Edelman: 5 rec, 95 yds
Collins: 8 Tkls, 1 TfL, 1 FF
Just watch the replay on that Insta Suh sack, he was untouched with no1 blitzing.... Your Gaurd was just not ready for the snap or something
Heading on now
What I do with whole chickens should work for drumsticks too.
It's basically, a can of cream of chicken soup. Fill 1/2 of the can of white wine- Sauvignon blanc or Chablis preferably- and add that. A few cloves of garlic and half an onion chopped as finely as possible and a few chopped red potatoes.
And a lot of salt and fresh cracked pepper. Simple but pretty tasty if I recall.

Remove skin. Season, wash, and dredge drums. Caramelize onions. Add OJ and some other non lemon citrus if u got it (pineapple!), soy sauce, and onions. Let it go.
I wouldnt crock pot drums tho. Id caramelize a bunch of onions in a cast iron skillet. Then Id lower the heat and add my Chicken with the skin on it still and crisp up the skin, flip it. Add OJ / Soy / pineapple w/e. Finish in oven at so it gets nice a crispy all over. If you do it right and dont overcook them before adding the Teriyaki mixture they fall off the bone just like

Yeah put away the crockpot, go out to your backyard and grill those badboys.
Do you guys have a specific site for crockpot recipes? I have one but I haven't even unpacked it.

I've gotten a lot of good stuff from allrecipes.com. They have a separate section dedicated to crock pot recipes.
Is it just me or does the surviving suspect from the Belgian bombing look like a blurry Humpty Hump?
Or maybe the singer from jamiroquai.
I'm free now.
If we went in about 10-15 would that be ok? I wanted to take a night shower real quick
