For the NFL fans here. Just because we've had no football to talk about for 10 months. The only thing we have is the NFL. I want to at least talk about football. The Chiefs look like the real deal again while the Texans look like also rans so the football world is unfolding the way it should. They had 15,000 fans at Arrowhead Stadium this evening & the social distancing & masking didn't look good. I think they should have played the games this season without fans in the stands. If anything derails this season it'll be Covid. If a lot of fans get sick the season will be over. 

The NFL is going to have to use the week 18 option although they seem loathe to do so.

Lions fire Patricia, what took them so long, I get it that the Lions have been sad sacks for years but this guy leaves them no better than when he got there

Much, much worse. GM and coach took an average team and made them horrible. Horrible.

GM got fired too, yup Patricia never had a winning season, I guess being fat and having a pencil behind your ear doesn't make you good coach

That Belichick coaching tree looks pretty weak with Patricia, Crennell, Weiss, Mangini, O'Brien and McDaniels.

But he was supposed to be a defense guy. He took the 15th rank defense and made them worse every year. He finally took over the d coordinating duties, got all his own players, and made them even worse.

Belichick looks pretty bad without Brady too. Brady looks bad with Belichick. They complete each other.

Brady looks fine actually, really good for 43.  25 touchdowns and 9 INT, and having Tampa relevant for the first time in over 15 years. He has started to slow down a bit and that was apparent last season, you put a 33 year old Brady, heck even a 40 year old Brady in Tampa and they’re likely undefeated at this point he has started to slow down a bit and that was apparent last season. 

Looks like the Broncos wont have an eligible qb for Sunday, Wildcat every play it is

Sounds like the 49er's or going to need to find a place to play their homes game against Buffalo and Washington

How much longer will Doug Peterson last in Philly? Is carson Wentz trade bait. I just can't see Wentz & Peterson in Philly next year. For some reason, Peterson is loathe to play hurts. Wentz keeps blowing games & continues to start.

At least Philly won the SB. Yeah, they went with Wentz and, before he got injured, he looked like a gem. I bet either QB would have won the  SB that year. Doesn't look great now, letting Foles go, but letting Wentz go would have looked worse at the time.

The problem in Philly wasn't getting rid of Foles but not playing Hurts. It made no sense to keep a struggling Wentz in & not seeing what Hurts can do.

Now things are just getting stupid in the NFL. All 4 Bronco qbs won't play Sunday.

And if you were pittsburgh I'd tell you to shut the **** up, people are losing their jobs, business and life. You get to play a game a few days later. Cry me a river. On top of that, They might get to a play Griffin. 

The issue isn’t comparing football players to the real world. The issue is equity and consistency within the NFL itself. The Titans have a COVID outbreak, they get a pass until they can field a proper team at the expense of the Steelers bye week. The Niners team gets decimated due in part to COVID protocols, too bad you have to play as planned, put out your practice squad. Baltimore has a COVID outbreak, sure we can put off your match until your QB and other starters are cleared, who cares if we force the Steelers to lose another mini-bye and now make them play twice on 5 days. But hey Denver, you have no quarterbacks, but we can’t postpone your match, sucks to be you. Rules are completely inconsistent and are screwing some teams while giving others a competitive advantage.

Help is on its way..

 

Broncos asked the league if their game could be moved to Tuesday or if an assistant coach could suit up and play qb, league said no to both, NFL is also throwing around fines this weekend as New England gets a fine and the Saints get a fine and striped of a draft pick, Baltimore so far has escape any penalties

That and they dont run the ball enough. Sanders is averaging like 6 yards per carry yet they let Wentz, whos a turnover machine and has clearly been struggling all season, sit back and huck it 40 times per games, even in games that are close. Pederson's play calling is a joke.

I have Sanders in fantasy and yep they don't run enough. Bubba is totally on point.

Thats fair, I didn't realize there was so much inconsistencies 

Vikings gifted the Panthers a win, Panthers say no thanks

They are actually being consistent with their own covid policy.  They have been clear that competitiveness is not going to be a consideration and the only reason they will delay a game is if there is an active, uncontained outbreak (like Baltimore).
