Aaron Rodgers would concur. :) - Walter.

True, but 56 million for a two year deal with Evans seems like a lot of simoleons. Perhaps Tampa wasn't interested in trading up to a higher first round spot, or couldn't make a deal with a team ahead of them. (??) Supposedly he has talked to ESPN, at least per the web. He might just...

Considering how loaded the 2024 NFL draft is with WR talent, I am a little surprised to hear that Tampa made this decision. - Walter.

Would I have preferred Belichick going to the 'boys? Yes, I would. I am not certain that was an option. The big question for me, in light of Jones' decision is whether or not Dan Quinn is returning. McCarthy ran an offense that performed quite well this season, but I have less confidence in...

My general feeling (without doing a lot of research to back it up :) ) is that teams that make more mistakes, particularly penalties have coaching deficiencies. I might be completely mistaken, but my general impression is that Landry, Shula, and Belichick (amongst others) have mostly fielded...

Man, the Cowboys are stinking it up today. The offense was showing a few signs of life and then the Packers scored on a pick 6. I'm sure the Cowboys haters in this thread are having a grand time. Bask in their collective ineptitude. :) Every year it is like Charlie Brown trying to kick the...

I gave up on the Oilers / Titans for a number of reasons that accumulated over the years: a) Bud Adams firing Bum Phillips and putting an end to the 'Luv Ya Blue' era of Oilers' football. b) 'The Comeback' - The Oilers embarrassing loss to the Bills in the January '93 playoff game where the...

Impressive game by the Texans this afternoon. I expected a better defensive performance by the Browns today, but Stroud had three TD passes in the first half and the Texans' receivers really stepped up their game after a few early dropped passes. The Jordan 76 yard TD felt like the back...

Well, that and hiring DeMeco Ryans. - Walter.

He has been a backup QB and I thought it showed in this contest. His arm didn't impress me, and I felt like he missed too many throws. 13 of 24 for 141 yards just isn't going to get it done in the NFL. I have no idea what kind of person he is, so I'm not really trying to kick him while he is...

C.J. Stroud showed up big time against the Colts. 7 of 7 for 82 yards in the final scoring drive. Texans are in the playoffs and will take the AFC South if the Jaguars lose to the Titans on Sunday. - Walter.

If you are referring to the "punishments" that owners receive from the NFL, then... yeah. - Walter.

True, but I was more focused on the PAF getting revenue to assist those who are in need. As far as Tepper is concerned, one can hope that either this will make him more circumspect, or is the first step in a long path that sees him eventually out of the NFL. - Walter.

https://www.cnn.com/2024/01/02/sport/carolina-panthers-owner-david-tepper-fine-spt/index.html The Professional Athletes Fun just got another $300,000 added to their coffers. So I guess some good came out of this. - Walter.

What Jeffrey said, and I would add that the Lions have the 2nd highest number of 4th down attempts in the NFL which attests to a coaching philosophy that tends to 'go for broke'. Personally, I really dislike how often teams attempt 4th down conversions in today's NFL. When I see teams passing...

Lots of missed opportunities by both teams tonight. If Detroit had kicked a field goal instead of a failed 4th down attempt, the two point conversion attempt would not have been a factor. If Lamb hadn't fumbled resulting in a touchback Dallas might have put the game out of reach. Dallas...

CJ Stroud will start against the Titans this weekend. There are whole mess of teams at 8-7 in the AFC - Steelers, and Bengals in the AFC North; Texans, Jaguars, and Colts in the AFC South. I believe that these five teams will be competing for two wildcard berths with the Bills taking the...

I didn't watch the Eagles / Giants so I have no point of reference on the final play. (Probably catch a replay today on a sports show.) I will say that there have been some pretty sketchy calls / non-calls this season, but I tend to attribute it to poor refereeing, not something more sinister...

This quote (# 378 in this thread) seems particularly relevant to this evening's contest. SF managed some decent plays on offense, but it still felt like the Ravens dominated the game, particularly when you consider the turnover ratio vs. point differential. The Ravens' offense opened up the...

Not Robert, but the way he had the team playing today, yes. - Walter.

Apparently, Al Michaels did. At least that is what is being communicated in some of the news reports. He still has his Amazon Prime job, so he'll be fine. - Walter.

Looks like Al Michaels won't be calling a playoff game for NBC. Lots of articles on the web that pretty much say the same thing. - Walter.

Perhaps the Dolphins can trade Chubb to the Chiefs for Toney. :) - Walter.

Fair point. I don't think they are on par with the other teams I listed, but the NFC is so weak that they almost make the four spot on the basis of no other teams competing for that position. I think their offense will keep them in some contests. Having said that, perhaps Seattle should be...

The Eagles have had some close wins this year that may have made them look a bit more dominant vs. reality. I am happy that the 'boys won Sunday evening, but the Eagles still control their destiny as far as the NFC East goes. More importantly, the NFC title appears to be going through San...

Texans / Jets was an ugly, ugly game in the first half with neither team able to move the ball. Decided to watch some other programming after a 0 - 0 half and came back to find the Jets putting a beating on the Texans. I guess the good news for the Texans is that the Steelers, Colts, and Jags...

The Cowboys game should be an interesting indicator of where both teams are at right now. The Cowboys have an impressive home record, so I expect a fairly close contest. The down side for the Cowboys is that even if they prevail next week, they are facing a much tougher schedule in terms of...

Texans have lost some heart breakers this season, so it was nice to see them pull out a win against a Broncos team that hung around in a very close game. C.J. Stroud continues to impress. - Walter.

For sure on the "kill shot". There was not a single punt in last night's game. Partly because the Seahawks left the offense on the field for multiple fourth down attempts. The final attempt made sense, but I thought the other attempts at around midfield were ill advised. Basically handing...

Not a real defensive struggle tonight. :) Happy to see the Cowboys win, but their secondary play didn't inspire a lot of confidence as they face the stretch run to the playoffs. I did not like the pass attempt on 3rd down with under two minutes left in the game. Going for the jugular is...
