Week 17 of the NFL season is almost upon us, and the playoffs are just around the corner. That being said, there are still several things to keep an eye on at this point, and TTS will tell you exactly what those are, and what it all means.
Ready?
1) Jason Garrett. It's almost guaranteed that if the Cowboys somehow lose to the hapless Redskins this weekend, that Garrett will be fired as head coach. Everyone knows that Jerry Jones is famous for saying one thing, and then going and doing something else. His bravado and promises notwithstanding, I can't see him keeping Garrett in the event of a loss. Garrett has been the head coach of the Cowboys since 2011, and has accomplished very little with what he has. It doesn't look good for him at all.
2) Marshawn Lynch. For some reason, Lynch coming back and signing with the Seattle Seahawks in news right now. Lynch was once the best running back in the game (which Russell Wilson clearly forgot in that Super Bowl....ZING!), but not today. He will undoubtedly bring veteran presence to the locker room, but not much else. His best days are now behind him, and in the last game of the season, will be facing one of (if not THE) best defences the league has to offer in San Francisco. Sorry Beast Mode, but it is what it is.
3) Officiating. It remains to be seen whether or not the league horrible officiating will be on full display this weekend as some teams try to improve their seeding for the playoffs, while others are trying to hold onto a playoff spot altogether. The refs have been beyond brutal this year, and the NFL still has yet to make up for the debacle in last season's NFC Championship. The reffing has gotten considerably worse, and yet never gets properly addressed. Personally, I'm tired of officiating deciding games, as it takes the fun out of everything.
Is it too much to ask for to have officials in the NFL (as well as their bosses) held accountable for all the nastiness they are responsible for? Is it?
