And even better, since Rivera is gone.eh, it's still a great year for Washington. No more Snyder.

On channel 588 on FIOS. I'd still much rather have TNF on NFL Network and having to watch it on Amazon Prime.If you guys hate the exclusive streaming thing this year, just do what you already did years ago when the NFL tried this shit with their completely unwatchable "NFL Network."
....where's that Network now?

I dropped Spectrum and signed up for Youtube TV to add Sunday ticket. I added RedZone at the same time to try it out. I want to cancel RedZone but since I added it with Sunday Ticket, it looks like I have to drop all 3 and then re-join Youtube TV.If you guys hate the exclusive streaming thing this year, just do what you already did years ago when the NFL tried this shit with their completely unwatchable "NFL Network."

You're in perfect position for pass rusher 1337 in NYG history because that is NYG football, so quit complaining.Enjoyed the Giants whupping the reeling Eagles in a meaningless game for blue, as the Iggles enter their playoffs with even worse momentum, and now get a worse seed and not a home game. Don't mind losing one draft position for that. I watched most of the game and man the Giants put on a clinic.
I do wish that putz Tommy Cutlets lost two of the three games he won that we had no business winning, and we'd have a top 4 pick right now. Fuck that goombah.
He is an awful coach. His record here was like 26-40-1. And we have the 2nd pick AGAIN. He honestly left the organization in a worse position than when he got here. Basically all of his 1st round draft picks sucks and don't even have all of them anymore, because they aren't good. He's not a good talent evaluator. He sucks.I don't mind Rivera so much...but I guess it's pretty obvious now that is previous success was a bit reliant on Newton, McCaffrey, Olsen, Smith, etc....
Commanders interviewing him for head coach.Kinda surprised Titans fired Vrabel.
you mean like every other successful head coach in any professional sport?I don't mind Rivera so much...but I guess it's pretty obvious now that is previous success was a bit reliant on Newton, McCaffrey, Olsen, Smith, etc....
In your opinion, is that good or bad?Commanders interviewing him for head coach.
I don't really have an opinion on it. I'll let the new owner and his people group of hopefully smart people make the decisions and see how it plays out. It's just nice to NOT have Snyder doing this crap anymore. Ideally I'd like them to have a GM who decides the coach, and so would the new owner per his press conference yesterday, but he made tons of good points about the good coaches (and football people in general) getting snatched up quickly, so they may not have that luxury.In your opinion, is that good or bad?
I love my Bills. Been a non-stop fan since being a kid in the OJ days! I hope they make the bowl this year. I really do. Every BB game I watch I drink a bottle of JB.Go Bills!
It's massive that they ripped the division title from the Fins, as they could potentially host two playoff games now. I'm far from convinced that the Ravens are a lock for the Super Bowl. As unpredictable as the NFL playoffs are now, compared to say 30 years ago, I suspect that either the Niners or Ravens will not make the SB.I love my Bills.

I think the top 2 are the teams to beat, but I'd take the Lions and Browns if the odds were nice.It's massive that they ripped the division title from the Fins, as they could potentially host two playoff games now.

If you look at computer models such as ESPN FPI, only 4 teams have significant championship equity:
Niners
Ravens
Bills
Cowboys
Everybody else is a long shot.
Two series would have made sense. In the past, Lamar has been contained in the playoffs so it'll be interesting to see if he exorcises those demons.I don't think it was the best thing to rest Lamar Jackson for last weekends game. That will be 3 full weeks of no live games until he is in the most important game of his career. I know the weather was terrible for that same on Saturday, but I dunno, I still feel like he should have gotten a few reps in there since it was basically a playoff game for the Steelers so it could have helped him mentally.
They're certainly the teams to beat, but any tournament is a crap shoot. Chances are one of the two gets upset along the way. Also, Lamar Jackson has to defeat his past playoffs history.I think the top 2 are the teams to beat, but I'd take the Lions and Browns if the odds were nice.
It wasn't meaningless. If the Eagles won and the Cowboys lost, the Eagles would have won the division and be playing at home.Two series would have made sense. In the past, Lamar has been contained in the playoffs so it'll be interesting to see if he exorcises those demons.
But on the flip side, you had the decision by Nick Sirianni to play some of his starters in what appeared to be a meaningless game, and it blew up in his face.
I knew that (and wrote "appeared to be"), and we both know there was almost no chance the Cowboys were losing their finale after the refs gifted them the division the week before.It wasn't meaningless. If the Eagles won and the Cowboys lost, the Eagles would have won the division and be playing at home.
The last time the Ravens rested for three weeks, you could tell there was rust and that plays that used to be routine were slightly off timing wise.
The game speed cannot be emulated in practice.
Coaches are fucked. Play starters and they get hurt, they get buried. Rest starters, come out flat and take an L, buried. Best bet is to play a drive or two then pull, but even then players can get injured.In fact I'm hard-pressed to think of any time 100% "resting" starters (barring injured QB's) has paid off in recent history.
I can recall it blowing up in teams faces more than once though!
