Well, here we go. Merry Christmas football day.
Early window- Raiders @ Chiefs. Raiders on 11 days rest after that total curb stomping they handed the Chargers. Usually play the Chiefs close. WE'll see if the Chiefs got some mojo back after beating the Pats.
Middle game- Gmen @ Eagles should be...
So, we are a little over 1/4 of the way and things are just beginning to fall into place but there is obviously a long way to go. But maybe we should discuss which coaches are in trouble. I didn't include a couple of them that are losing like Gannon because he has the team playing hard despite...
So I thought about asking this on another thread but didn't want to hijack it but the Minnesota Vikings appear to be looking at some sort of rebuild soon. Watching Justin Jefferson play as great as he does and put up ungodly numbers week after week makes me wonder if his talent will be wasted...
Chargers, Herbert agree to $262.5M extension
Justin Herbert just got extended for 5 years/ $262 mil beginning in 2024. Burrow now in the driver's seat. We will see exact breakdown but it looks like they are locked in until 2028.
Looks like $218 guaranteed
So I saw this on Rich Eisen's show and thought it was an interesting question. Which coach out of the final eight changes his legacy the most with a SB victory this season. Not saying most of these guys have much of a chance but as a hypothetical, it's just interesting.
For me , it comes down...
WE have some COY talk already going on here but what about the other major awards?
My list and I haven't spent a ton of time deep diving into this because I'm not a nerd, lol...
MVP- Patrick Mahomes
OPOY- Justin Jefferson
DPOY- Nick Bosa
OROY- Kenneth Walker III ( Homer pick, I know) Him and...
Instead of the same old, "who's gonna win?", let's have a poll and discuss who's gonna lose their first post season game. I've got the Seahawks and Dolphins with no more than a fluke chance. I think the Cowboys get bounced by Brady. I think the Chargers lose to the Jags. And the Ravens get blown...
Tua has been placed in concussion protocol again after hit in 2nd qtr Sunday (allegedly).
Tua Tagovailoa placed in concussion protocol again - ProFootballTalk
So what do guys figure the best match-up of this weekend is?
AFC
Pats @ Bills- I figure this will be a cold weather, smash in the mouth, defensive game. Probablt one of the better games, imo.
Steelers @ Chiefs- Mahomes and the Chiefs likely send Big Ben off with a whoopin' but maybe Pittsburghs...
So a report came out last week that this was going to be Nagy's last game as HC of Da Bears. A reporter actually asked him about that at the press conference after Sunday's loss to the Ravens who started 2020 UFA QB Tyler Huntley last minute because Lamar was sick. So the owner came out and said...
Bills, Josh Allen agree to 6-year contract extension
Allen gets huge extension. The kid has showed great improvement since coming in as a raw rookie. Buffalo has their guy locked up now hoping he can take them to the promised land. We shall see, I suppose.
Big news being talked about all over the internet today. It seems Deshaun Watson has talked to team mates about potentially asking the Houston Texans brass to trade him. If so and if the new GM is willing, he will immediately become the hottest item in the league and a number of teams would sell...
So the Jets and Jags have 1 win each and if it stays that way the Jets then join the 2002 Panthers and 1970 Bears as teams coming off 1 win seasons who did not get the top pick in the draft. The 2002 Panthers lost out because the expansion Houston Texans were awarded that pick and chose David...
So I'm noticing nobody has started a major award winner thread and with only a quarter of tge season left, maybe we need to. For me, there's a lot of obvious ones but as always, things could change down the stretch so here goes nothin'.
MVP- Aaron Rodgers likely running away with it but Mahomes...
What do think guys. Probably Ravens vs. Chiefs. Play-off seeding could be effected, even though early. Same with Packers @ Saints. Two good primetime games.
So kind of in the spirit of the holiday season, I figured I would have a thread to just acknowledge our teams' nominees for the prestigious Walter Payton Man of the Year. Not to brag about our guy or tell us who should get the award or anything competitive. Just to tell us a little about your...
So today's win was PCs 100th with the Seahawks. I know we all get irate with ol' Pete at times and he does drive us nuts with ill timed challenges and failure to adjust but we should say congrats for this. We have been fortunate to have this sustained level of success. We also are having our...
Not too shabby for a couple of guys that supposedly weren't projected very high on draft day. Kinda makes you think about draft day a little. Obviously, we want high picks but being able to evaluate talent and develop players can really change the narrative.
We all know Wilson's story- 2012 3rd...
So an interesting question came up this morning on Good Morning Football. If you could go back and change one play in a Super Bowl that would rewrite history, what one would it be.
Some of the answers given on there for the poll or add one of your own.
Kyle Brandt mentioned the David Tyree...
So PFF came out with their all-pro list. Congrats to all the guys selected. What do you all think of the list?
