Texans might want Flores, but why would he want to go there? UNLESS Watson agrees to play there (assuming he can) due to Flores coming in.

Does every coach with a bunch of wins and a ring deserve to be in the HOF? Reid and Belichick are locks. They could be #1 and #2 overall in HC wins all-time when they retire. Tomlin I could certainly see. 1 ring and another appearance. Never a losing season. By the time he calls it quits he'll be a HOFer I think. But Payton and Carroll? Both great coaches but Payton has had a lot more sustained success. Carroll really had a great handful of years early with Seattle and has been mediocre to decent ever since. That's not HOF worthy, IMO. Sean Payton has a much better chance because he's still pretty young and will probably do a lot more winning.

I mocked the hire when it happened, but actually I think he did a pretty good job and the Texans were a tough out down the stretch. Sort of like the Lions in that the record might not be great but the roster is not that talented but they fight hard and showed some promise.

Bills have one of the best uniforms in the league, IMO. Red, white, and blue. America's team!

Jordan Poyer is on Pat Macafee right now... he's hilarious to listen to. It'll be up on Youtube later on too if you can't see it now.

It's a compelling offer! I'll get back to you by Monday... I love Joe Burrow. Dude is fun to watch and I love the swagger! It definitely would be, especially if there were plenty of closeups of Brady's angry face on the sidelines, a thrown tablet, and some hushed tones about "maybe this is it for Brady after this humiliating beatdown... you hate to see it, Al" That kind of stuff!

Maybe Beane wants to get him under contract for next season as well.

Brady has 1 legitimate Super Bowl win. GOAT my ass

Today it's 35 degrees, dreary, and tiny bit drizzly. No wind. Absolutely perfect football weather for January! It actually feels warm out today with no wind compared to what we've had lately. What a difference a couple days makes...

can NFL stadiums have a sort of dugout or covered area that could be somewhat heated with those outdoor deck heaters for players on the sidelines? Maybe just the home side? I'm sure there's a rule against it or it would have been done already.

WHY would anyone complain about this? It's a feel good thing for the fans, which is sort of the point of sports!

I hear you, and it would be amazing. But I just can't do another Brady Super Bowl. It's enough already. The sooner the Buccaneers lose the better. Then the playoffs are just fun.

Inspired by this thread, I've been watching a ton of Thurman highlights on YouTube Imagine Thurman on this team! If anyone here was too young to see him play, check out some of his old games. There's a reason they called him the Thurmanator. Dude was close to unstoppable. In fact, just about the only defense for him was us not giving him the ball on a given play. A game like Saturday night? Patriots wouldn't have a prayer. Thurman would pile up 150+ all purpose yards no problem, and maybe more.

He might be having issues finding a place to live... have you checked Zillow around here?

Love that thumbnail! 4 QBs shouting and looking nuts and Rodgers looking like he just had some scotch and wants to talk about "holistic medicine"

So no Borg, then.

The only games I can re-watch are old Super Bowls that NFL uploads on YouTube with the breaks cut out. Just re-watched the Cardinals/Steelers one they put up because it was Madden's last game, and I had forgotten how insane that SB was... So many wild swings all game long! That said, my version of hell is that I'm strapped to a chair and forced to watch the Atlanta/NE Super Bowl on repeat for eternity, including the post game. Easily the worst thing I've ever seen on a screen of any type.

Bills Bengals Packers anyone but the Buccaneers

I think the best approach is to ignore the weather and play ball. As soon as the Bills did that in the MNF hurricane game Allen started completing passes. This game is just cold air.

Big Ben looks like he's throwing a 10 pound medicine ball when he passes, so I don't see it happening.

Agreed!

Just think of how Rodgers' career would be different if he had already won 3 Super Bowls and was trying to tie Joe Montana with #4 this year. The NFC Title Game is a hurdle he just can't seem to get over.

2018 and 2019 games? How about double-digit wins in each of the 2021/22 games! and that's with Allen not playing well.

If the goal is to stack Super Bowls then you stay in the NFC. That's (IMO) why Brady chose the Bucs. He knew the AFC was much tougher in terms of getting to the Super Bowl, and you've got to get to them to win them, If Rodgers was even .500 in NFC title games he would have played in 3 Super Bowls already. NFC North is a wasteland. AFC West would be Mahomes, Herbert and even Carr/Raiders 2x a year, plus now Rodgers. That's insane! NFC has like 3 or 4 good QBs. AFC West alone would have 4 if he went there.

That's OK, we can agree to disagree on that. I think Dawkins is starting to finally get back into form after going through a bad case of Covid, and that is also helping, as is our rookie RT getting more settled in. I would say the Bills OL is NFL average, maybe a touch above when everyone is healthy and in the right spots.
